Topic: Signature Designers exchanging merits [SOLVED] - page 2. (Read 652 times)

because he is a fellow signature designer. it would be preferable for his business if his competition were red-tagged. that's 100% what this thread is about---eliminating his competition. anyone who denies that has their head in the sand.


you know exactly what you're doing and there is nothing honorable about it.

if you provide quality products, you will get customers. PERIOD. if not, go lick the admin's boots and tattle-tale on your competition. that's fucking pathetic.

I agree with this, but if it was a quality post i wasn't here reporting it, do not you think?, they only given merits to his services


Is it not what i'm doing?, in addition, only Revenant 02 has defended himself, the other 2 designers haven't said anything, i think that a DT or mod will appear to give the final decision


You're right, let the admins do their work, i apologize in advance if you thought that this thread was overshadowing your service, i haven't intention of doing it, it was only a suspicion (i think i should have written it in the subject), so i published in meta (Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum). Thanks again for giving your opinion

Let me be clear once and for all. I am not the type of person who would beg others to send or trade merits with me. It's the same with trust. I won't bother other people, If they really liked my service, they themselves would give me merit or trust, I won't have to ask them. If somebody sends me then I'm thankful for that. If not then it's okay. I don't even care about merits or rank, I don't need it, why would I? I'm offering my own service lol so it's not really a big deal to me. All I care is about my reputation as a signature designer. I want to be known here in this forum (not as a rule breaker) but as great designer, even the best if I could.


Really? Oh God. Don't worry, the next time I send merits to someone I'll warn them not to merit any of my posts, especially if it's the same amount.  


Well we technically collaborated our services before so it probably makes sense to put it in his service thread, right? No? I guess I should've just picked one of his random posts, man that'll save me all of this time explaining. Yeah I agree, people nowadays stopped using common sense.


Yeah trust rating is commonly used when you made a trade with another user which involves transaction of money. We basically worked together. Too bad the option for a neutral trust comment didn't cross my mind that time. It will definitely save me a lot of time explaining to you something that you can't seem to understand.


As far as I know, you could give merits to posts or threads that you find useful to you or the community. Well, I found his service useful during the time that I needed it the most, and probably to the community as well, so yeah...  

The way I see it, the merit system is flawed. That's a fact. Anyway, whatever. Just don't send back merits at all to those people who sent you if you don't want to be accused of trading merits.

I'm sorry if you find some of my words sarcastic and offensive. That's just how I am when I get upset.

I'm done here. I don't need to explain myself anymore. Let the admins do their job. They will act if they see that something is wrong.

Best regards.

Depends on the quality of their posts. for example: if you read my latest red tagging, you'll understand. if these signature designers are meriting each other back and forth for some low quality posts, you could tag them. don't wait for DT members. you should tag them yourself.

Looks like that people now come to that point that they started reporting /creating thread for each merit given and looks circling in loop.
With such Merit toxicity in forum , I do not think anybody now want to send and receive Merit from not well known member.
I agree that Merit is abused and people need to be reported but OP this thread just look that people now stopped using common sense.




 

Merit sources are not allowed to sell merits. That is the only rules as far as giving merits is concerned.
If there are blatant examples of misuse of merits (this is not one of them), then default trust members may give out negative trust. Theymos has said that DT members should not be trigger happy and jump to conclusions in these cases.

I said it in my post above: I had posted it on his list, but i thought it was inactive and i remove it. Although i also saw others make an entire thread for merit abuse, so i thought i could do it, if i'm wrong making this thread, i'll gladly close this thread and post it on the killyou72 thread



Although if it's as you say, there're 2 factors that can be interpreted as merits exchange (at least for me):

• It was the same amount
• It was to a thread of service

I think there were other ways to appreciating the help Anyobsss gave you, like the Trust System


Thanks, i also wish you the best and hope to work with you someday (don't think i'm trying to lighten the situation with this comment)



If i remember correctly, the merits system was made to improve post quality (and things that help the community, i've seen that people give merits to do infographics about the merits system). Yes, they've good designs but there was another way to appreciate the help they were receiven, as i said before, by the Trust System. Are you trying to say that if they aren't merits souces, they can do merits exchanges?

Let them send some merits for their nice designs. let people see their merits, who cares? they are not merit sources. let them have fun. it's not meriting
Garbage posts. it's not like they have traded hundreds of merits this way? because I only see 20-25 merits on each one of their designing threads.
Just don't tag them for this.

Well, it's not like we intentionally traded merits, or like we talked about it. Anyobsss and I had worked together multiple times before. There are times when the number of people asking for my service gets really overwhelming that I alone can't handle like 5 or more orders placed in a day, so I had to ask for another designer's help and it turned out to be Anyobsss. Now since some of the projects in his service thread technically came from me, I decided why not give him some merits for helping me out. In return I have helped him too since he was paid for doing those signatures. As you can see, I sent him the merits first. He probably saw it and decided to give me the equal amount of merit, probably because he appreciates it, but it's not like I begged him to send merits back to me. Is it prohibited to send back to the person who sent you merits? Would it be automatically considered as merit trading? I would want to know.

P.S. I just noticed you're a fellow designer. Good luck with the service though. Maybe we can work together too someday. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Edit:

Hmm yeah I just noticed it. He could have just left the post on the thread and wait. I'm not really sure about it, but given the title of it, I sure hope it's not about business  

They are exchanging merits; no doubt, but why make an entire new thread on it?

Is it some novel thing or a shit post that is getting merited? I believe it is the mutual appreciation of art. Unless you can prove that they are alts; I don't find anything objectionable.


Pray tell me why?

Nice find. They could have been a bit more subtle at least!

I'll use the format that killyou72 offers
