Theymos!  Make this man a merit source!!
Lol, i really hope he listens, i am pretty sure Theymos reads through meta at least, so he definitely sees all the request for new merit sources, and there are really some good users in the 'pipeline' waiting to be accepted, OP is definitely one of them. If we are to try and read Theymos' mind as to the reason why he hasn't acted on some of these qualified merit source applications, can we say he is somewhat of the opinion that the merit process/distribution is going on fine and for now there is no need for new additions?

I am absolutely speculating though, since i am neither an admin here, but there must be a reason for the delay eh? Does anyone also think the reason above can be correct, even though i personally do not agree with that, just as The Pharmacist has highlighted i am pretty sure there are MS who aren't as active as they were before and new Merit Sources by 'default' would tend to be more vibrant and eager to hand out merits effectively, finally, we also do not have an overflow of merit sources so adding to them isn't a bad decision anyday, goodluck once again skarais.

I have no right to force admin to approve my application although I still hope to be considered to this day.
Ha ha, not that you could even if you wanted to. 

But man, Theymos made merit sources out of members who didn't even apply back in 2019 and I'm pretty sure some of them have dropped out by now.  You'd think he'd give someone like you a shot, someone who's obviously eager to help keep the merit system functioning.  And as I think I mentioned before, you're also active on a local board and it's important to have merit sources active on as many of them as possible.  If there weren't any, there would be members trying to earn them by writing posts in broken English--and I think that was the case before the system stabilized over time.

Theymos!  Make this man a merit source!!

As long as you haven't been accepted as merit Source by Theymos, expecting some Merit from other users are very possible for you.
I got some merit recently and I was a bit surprised when cabalism13 dropped the merit bomb on the OP.

I've seen the list of sMerit you issued, it's natural if your sMerit runs out, you also moderate your own thread [HELP]Bantuan untuk menaikkan Rank (Newbie s.d Hero) V.2 [UPDATE] which helps Indonesian users to rank up. Since submitting the application for the source of merit (05-12-2021), until now there has been no decision from Theymos whether the application is accepted or not. Hopefully you will be selected as a merit Source, Because your contribution in the forum makes you the strongest candidate to become a merit Source from Indonesia.
I have no right to force admin to approve my application although I still hope to be considered to this day. As I said before, it doesn't matter if my app fails because basically I can still contribute there with some of the merit I get from other users in my posts. Although it is very limited, but don't think it will be a problem.

I also managed to invite several merit source in the thread to help Indonesian Local Board users get sufficient merit, especially Ratimov and JayJuanGee. I would be very happy if some other merit source could also help out there if they were willing.

I really support your application, because of your good intention to help users who need a merit to rank up, especially for those who have quality posts. Hopefully Theymos will consider your application.
Thank you for your support.

It seems that you are lucky enough that cabalism13 dropped you a very good amount of merits and I pretty sure that you deserve that kind of amount cause you help a lot of user here in forum by giving some of your sMerits too.
Just continue to your goal of this forun and for sure when theymos decided to look another merits sources you will be qualify..
Good luck for this application.

OP, I support your application as you seem a user who knows how to do right and wouldn't hesitate doing it. I know I've bumped into you on several counts and haven't read anywhere you got enmeshed in controversy. You've decent posts too. It will be a plus to have a poster like you as a merit source in the local to join the ilks of Ratimov who has also being doing great across sections of the forum. I wish you luck, hoping theymos will speedily approve your application.

I'm out of sMerit now, is it possible to expect some extra merit from you at this time?

If possible feel free to review my post history if you want to help. Although some of my posts are in the gambling section so I think you are free to ignore them and find some others post that you think are good. So far I'm still hoping for a chance for merit source, but in the end I have to be patient.

Bump.

I still hope to have the opportunity to be a merit source. Although currently no other users are added or subtracted from the total merit source (111 users) but I still want to wait.

The increase in the distribution of merit on the Indonesian Local Board has already begun. This is a great success that I could have hoped for earlier. Some users are quite active and some are starting to improve the quality of their posts, this is a good reason to expect additional merit source.

I see this application getting a lot of support from both merit source and non-merit source. Hopefully theymos can consider your application sooner or later.
Of course, it's getting the support it deserves, the forum usually offers their support for such applications when the user is capable and well deserving of the position, just as is the case here. Hopefully Theymos will respond, it may not come too soon as we already know, but it's never too late, there are a lot of good applications in the pipeline waiting for response from the 'boss', and I believe they will all be considered, I wish Skarais all the best, so he can support good forum users from his local board and other sections of the forum as well.

I came to support your application after I got proof of your contribution on the local board. Some people have previously lost interest in distributing multiple merit to local board each month, but you have struggled with other merit source to keep local distribution of merit enhanced and maintained. I express support and help you with some of the smerit I have, wish you good luck.

I see this application getting a lot of support from both merit source and non-merit source. Hopefully theymos can consider your application sooner or later. I am trying to get some data about merit distribution which you updated last year in local board, there are around 2442 merit distributed by merit source and non-merit source in local board in 2021. Hopefully after theymos receive your application the number of merit distributed in local board will increase to reach 3000-5000 or more as Indonesian local board still have an active user base above 750 in 2021.

Since the merit system was introduced I have distributed 75% of my total sMerit on Local Board, the other 25% are also distributed on some other boards like meta, B&H, economy and some other boards. So maybe I will not only help on Local Boards but can also help anyone on other boards when it's really valuable.
The main point is helping out small members but only to those who deserves it means making quality posts and making forum a better place to have healthy and useful discussion.I am also giving out merits but not at faster pace but will try to improve as hoarding smerits with ourselves have no point and you distributing merits in local board is absolutely fine as they also need recognition from High rank members like you.

You might get response soon and good news to be appointed as new merit source along with the others.

That's good that as we grow on forum it's our responsibility to help the other deserving members also rank up which is possible with smerits.Ratimov has helped lot of members to rank up with his own threads and by simply giving out merits to some others i directly and indirectly.

Hope you will soon get response from theymos and once again i also support your application.
Of course, I just hope to get this opportunity from admin and theymos will consider all your support for my application.

It might be strange to request that applications only be a merit source in Local Boards because ETFbitcoin and Husna QA are still quite active in distributing merit in Local Board where they are ranked first and second as the most active merit senders in the past year starting on January 1, 2021 until now . I'm only ranked third based on the data in the merit dashboard because the number of sMerit I have is not comparable to that of the merit source.

Since the merit system was introduced I have distributed 75% of my total sMerit on Local Board, the other 25% are also distributed on some other boards like meta, B&H, economy and some other boards. So maybe I will not only help on Local Boards but can also help anyone on other boards when it's really valuable.

Again, I support skarais's application here, and I CC'ed Theymos on a response to a recent PM by skarais (hope you don't mind, but I thought it might do some good and at least wouldn't do any harm).

What's the harm of adding one more merit source, and especially one who's active on the Indonesian board?  There are probably merit sources out there who've lost their zeal for the job, ones who aren't active on any of the local boards, and some who've quit.  Why not just give skarais a chance here?  Obviously he wants to help members rank up and would probably do a damn good job as a merit source.

C'mon Theymos.  Give the guy a shot.
I have also seen skarais as good and effective contributor to the forum and have given good amount of merits to the users so i also support his merit source application for the Indonesian board.Personally I don't know what are the circumstances in the local board but to the extent i know from the discussion there is need for one source to help members grow on the forum.The fact is he will not help anyone directly but will give merits to those who deserves them as local boards lack in merit generation in comparison to overall forum boards.

So you are right that theymos could give him a chance and it won't harm anyone but on the contrary there could be some Indonesia local board members growing on bitcointalk.

So far I have managed to get the attention of one of the merit source (Ratimov) to help Local Board users gain merit and have a chance to rank up the rank, especially he is willing to give merit to anyone who asks for a review in the thread I created. He's helpful, I'm happy to be able to take him to the Local Board and get him to contribute there, but I find it much better if we can have 1 additional merit resource from one of the Local users as well. They should however consider everything including how I distribute merit at the moment, and if he wants to add then I'm sure not only 1 but several other applications will also be considered.

I have been off the forum for a while. Almost 3 years has passed. Then the issue of merit was fresh and many have yet to get the full understanding. I loved the introduction of the merit because it some what put sanity into the forum.

However, I have observed that merit now play a significant roll for anyone who want to join a good paying signature campaign. Therefore acquiring merits can take a new dimension.

Again, climbing up the rank is very important. And you definitely need merit points to move from one rank to the other.

The forum does not give a criteria for what constitute a quality post worthy of a merit. So a more liberal board can be having more merits than others. And for a local boards, there can be better expression of ideas and taught than one who is struggling with English.

At the moment I am just speeding to catch up with the forum again.
Welcome back to the forum. As a old member, I think you already know a lot about the merit system since you stopped being active in October 2020 [more than 2 years since the merit system was introduced]. You've also received and sent merit during that time and you definitely know how this system works.

The merit system is not moderated where you can send  and earn on any post, but of course when you spend it on unqualified posts, people may accuse you of abusing the merit system. Quality posts depend on how you rate other users' posts based on your interpretation of whether you want to do it objectively or subjectively.

Bump, I'd like to hear if there are other possibilities and support for this app. So far I have successfully distributed nearly 500 merits since the merit system was introduced. I don't know if I could do more as the amount of merit I get fluctuates greatly every month depending on the quality of the posts and who wants to help me with the merit.

The following is the history of the merit that I have shared, hopefully, it can be taken into consideration.

https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?from=skarais

I support this application because I do believe that the applicant is eligible to be a merit source, first, he did many things here in the forum he is a good contributor, he always helps those people who are in the stage of learning and in terms of giving merits he spend his own sMerits to a quality posts/reply.
And if we talk about reputation I think he is already qualified cause this user doing great in this community.

Good luck buddy hope you will be accepted.

That should be irrelevant, and even a separate matter altogether.
You are right DdmrDdmr, and you are the second person to say the same thing about the lack of relevance between the opportunity to be a source of achievement and my involvement at DT. I recognized it as something different even though someone had previously told me.

Currently I have several other posts that will be submitted in this thread, but it seems the number is still under 5 posts. So have to wait a while to reapply.

That should be irrelevant, and even a separate matter altogether. One thing is your ability to judge the content of a post, and another totally different one is whether people trust your criteria leaving Trust feedback. A different matter would be if you had negative Trust feedback yourself. Despite Trust ratings being commerce related (in principle), it does affect one’s reputations, and I figure would bear some weight on the decision.

I have relatively little support from my Local Board community compared to my non-Local community but that's not a big deal in my opinion as each user can decide for himself what is good and what is not. This application is just my initiative to contribute more to the community, both local and non-Local even though the title says specifically for the Indonesian Local Board, so this is not a fame race from my side. If this application is never accepted then I only hope that I can still contribute to community as usual without any change.

To everyone who support, I just hope your support can help me get a chance to be a merit source in this community. But I just want to know if if I'm not on anyone's trust list so far then my chance are much less than others? What I mean is that I have never been a DT and have not been trusted by anyone DT1.

Sorry I just answered you today about my previous comment. I just meant to invite their local users to support this app because I think that's what the OP is hoping for. I don't know who the real OP is, but so far I've send it merit several times on decent posts.

I have expressed support for the OP's merit application as well as when Charles-Tim submitted his application. I will only support anyone who cares about this community regardless of where they come from. As long as the contribution is good for the bitcointalk community then I will be willing to support it. Today I've seen some local users support this merit app, good luck to the OP.
Is very obvious that their is no way his local community won't support is objectives, because for he to become a Merit source for his local board, it's the community people will be of benefit mostly, so from the onset i knew that his people will definitely come out massively to support his proposal, many people is looking for a way for their community image to come out in cryptocurrency industry, myself I'm not from there but i gave him my support.

Sorry I just answered you today about my previous comment. I just meant to invite their local users to support this app because I think that's what the OP is hoping for. I don't know who the real OP is, but so far I've send it merit several times on decent posts.

I have expressed support for the OP's merit application as well as when Charles-Tim submitted his application. I will only support anyone who cares about this community regardless of where they come from. As long as the contribution is good for the bitcointalk community then I will be willing to support it. Today I've seen some local users support this merit app, good luck to the OP.

sent 427 merit 389 times to 107 profile dan menduduki 281st user ranking in terms of sending merit be proof of @skarais very good achievement. The Skarais initiative created a thread [HELP]Bantuan untuk menaikkan Rank (Newbie s.d Hero) V.2 [UPDATE] is proof of Skarais concern to help local Indonesian users earn merit from quality posts on local thread.

As one of Indonesian local users, I strongly support Skarais being a Merit Source. During ± 4 year joining the forum, Skarais reputation was quite good. Currently he is one of the most active Indonesian local users in sending Merit to other users, of course on a quality post.

The reasons I support skarais being a Merit Source:
  • Sent 427 merit 389 times, to 107 profile. 70% sent via local indonesian board.
  • Skarais is quite active in helping new users in terms of experience, understanding forum and services (Merit).
  • Language limitations by other Merit Sources so skarais deserve a chance.
  • Indonesian local councils need additional Merit Sources to increase the number of merit distributions on quality posts on Indonesian local boards.

I hope the skarais application can be accepted Theymos, Currently the Indonesian local council is in dire need of additional active Merit Source.

Indonesian board is one of the very active local board of I am not wrong which I noticed from some of the statistical based threads but personally I don't understand the bahasa (language) but I have/had a lot of friends from that country who were working with me in my past so I just know few words but don't understand it properly.

Still I will support it if its really needed, and already lot of others shown their support so hopefully theymos will have a look at it and decide what will be the best.

I know you for long on this forum but did not know you are from Indonesia.
If that's true, then you really haven't checked my profile that long. Every first page of my post history then you will surely find that I have posts on Indonesian board.  :D
Based on data from https://ninjastic.space/user/id/943729, to date, a total of 43% of your posts are on the Indonesian Board.



Although it is a continuation of the first thread previously created by Pandukelana2712:
[HELP]Bantuan untuk menaikkan Rank (Jr. Member s.d Hero)[UPDATE],
I see you are actively helping new users, either with motivation or giving merit.

I support your application to encourage other users to produce better posts, especially on the Indonesian board.

Your local community is one of most active local ones on the forum and if I am not mistakenly recall, there are a few great members from your local such as joniboni, Husna QA. I know them because they are in or used to be in Chip Mixer campaign.

Kudo, I support your merit source application.
It is true that my Local Board has some great users, they have contributed a lot to the community through quality posts as well as distribution of merit. Some of these were previous merit source, but in the past 2 years it seem that everything has changed and the reward sharing activity has decreased very sharply. This is the reason I applied to be a merit source because I wanted to improve it for the better.

I'm very happy to see some of my Local Board users and other users support this merit source app, hope it can be something to consider.

Here is my merit transaction history for Local Board Indonesia. I'm really struggling to get 2 merit so I can post 1 smerit there on posts that I consider quality. Overall, I've spent 317+ smerit just on the Indonesian Local Board. That means, I have to get 634 merit on my post for my contribution to the Indonesian Local Board because im not merit source.

Thanks mate for the support.  Wink

One thing that I see regarding Skarais initiatives thread is his intent to make and help Indonesian local board users strive to be better.

The thread is initiated by a former Indonesia member but as of now, it is continued by Skarais. In short, the thread is a place where every Indonesian member is able to publish their post to be examined whether it is a merit-worthy post or not. Furthermore, it is a place where post reviewing taking a place, every member are able to give suggestions or an opinion objectively regarding the reviewed posts. Which I think it implicitly makes every member is able to self-reflect and learn from others regarding their post quality even if the reviewed post isn't directly pointed to them.

With that, I think Skarais deserved enough to have a chance as a merit source.

I'm happy with your support at this time and I think I deserve to thank you all.
Since I created this thread, I have received quite a number of merit as a form of your support, whether you state it directly in the thread or indirectly (only support merit). I really appreciate whatever your best advice and kind words about me, this will make me even more excited to help the community.

As a tangible manifestation of my initiative to help the Local Board community, I have submitted every post I submitted above for 1 merit yesterday. For now I still have some smerit to share, but I need to find a good post to do so. To be honest, I still need a lot of support for this app, so I just want to be patient for that.

Sorry about this but so far none of your local users support your app and I don't think you should bother doing it just to help them.
 
skarais is a reputable member of the forum which is quite understood, so provided that he have the interest of his people in mind he doesn't need support from them to become a Merit source via his local board, what we should consider and also emphasise on should be the development of his local board. I personally support a welcomed development that is reasonable and acknowledgeable, so therefore i support his application as The Pharmacist portray or rendered his support too.

The following is a history of merit transaction (sender and recipient) of the Local Board Bahasa Indonesia
When it comes to amount of people that are part of Indonesian "merit circle (merit/senders receiver) Indonesian board numbers are quite bigger than of the other local boards with the similar amount of merit shared (Portuguese, French, Arabic) and on par with some other boards with much bigger amount of shared, so that may be another indication that there is an actual need for more merits shared. Just to add that when it comes to merit senders/receivers, October 2021 wasn't an exception as this has been going on for some time now.







My assumption is that the statistics were generated thanks to the contribution of one of our moderators (dbshck). I just remembered that he was one of the most generous users a while ago. Right now for some reason he no longer maintained his achievement. Maybe he's busy outside.
It's perfectly normal for people to make a break from forum every once in a while. I've been active on various forums since the late 90s/early 00s and every couple of years I had a break as simple after some time you get fed up, or simply RL becomes too hectic. The only "problem" here is if you are merit source as that can affect whole board, like in this case happened with Indonesian (and many others) so every once in a while it's not a bad idea to promote couple of new merit sources.

Whether that sharp drop was caused by reduced post quality I don't know, but somehow I doubt that. Maybe to some extent, but most likely one of the causes is merit sources going afk, or just not beign as active as before.

I support this application. Since some Indonesian Merit Sources are no longer active, we need new active Merit Sources. Skarais is one of the Indonesian members who regularly supports all Indonesian members to raise their merits and rank up to a higher level. I think he deserves to give the chance to be a Merit Source in the Indonesian local board.

I also wonder how Theymos will do it in this case, because I guess he won't know Indonesian.
I believe Theymos can understand it. And Theymos will decide it not only based on the post quality proposed above, but he will see how urgent the need for a Merit Source on the Indonesian local board is.

Sorry about this but so far none of your local users support your app
Check again!
There are already some Indonesian members supporting this application. No need to hurry, I believe there is still a lot of time before Theymos decides it.  Wink

Skarais has been a member of the forum for over 4 years now, has a decent reputation, and I have no doubt he knows what a merit-worthy post is.  I've long thought that we need more merit sources in the local boards, and since the Indonesian one is (or was) a very active one I think Theymos really ought to give him a shot--so I support his application.

Sorry about this but so far none of your local users support your app and I don't think you should bother doing it just to help them.
Uh....this thread is just about one day old, so as ETFbitcoin has suggested, be patient.  I'd also point out that Skarais's OP got a lot of merits so far, so you could count those as support without members actually writing posts in support of his application.  And why shouldn't he bother to help his fellow Indonesians out?  I think there's a merit source who's gone missing in that section (though I could be thinking of another one), and if that's the case that merit source needs to be replaced IMO.

Good luck, Skarais.  I don't see any problem at all with your application; the only hindrance I see is Theymos's decision as to whether he wants to increase the number of merit sources right now.  He made some new ones not too long ago, and I don't know whether he's going to tap any new members to be sources for now.  Hopefully he will, because as I said I think your local board needs at least one.

Skarais, I don't know you personally, but I have often read your posts and followed your activities and I consider you a quality member with a good reputation.
I know from personal experience that many members of this forum, who don't speak good English and can't write in the English part of the forum, find it difficult to get merits and progress on this forum because other members can't understand their language.
That was exactly the reason why I personally applied for merit source a few years ago, and also the reason why I support you to become merit source.
I had the desire to help the Croatian members of this forum, who rarely write in English, and reward their quality posts with merits, and I believe that you will support the members of your local community in the same way and therefore you have my full support.

Hi. Can't really say that I support your application because I don't understand Indonesian and I don't think that using online translators is the right way to do it because you always lose something.
That's okay, I understand and I will not force anyone to support my application. But if you believe enough in how I spend merit on quality posts by our Local users, then feel free to support me.  Wink

I also wonder how Theymos will do it in this case, because I guess he won't know Indonesian.
It should be that language limitations by other merit sources could open up more opportunities for me to apply, and so far I think local users are the best choice to become a merit source on certain Local Board. I mean, the source of merit for Local Board Bahasa Indonesia should be users from Indonesia or those who understand Indonesian well and the same goes for other Local Board.



I think you need more time and effort to get a lot of support from other established users here especially from those who are now a source of merit.
I realize I'm not the best user on my Local Board, but as I said above that I have the initiative to help those in need, so I'm considering submitting this application. But I will never feel guilty when not many people want to support because this is the decision of each individual user. So let them decide for themselves. By the way, thank you for your support.



IMO you chose some good posts, although few of them either receive decent amount of merit or only average. I think you're decent enough to be merit.
That's right, I tried to get some posts which I think are still not enough to get merit although over time the number can still increase, and the 10 posts above in my opinion deserve merit from me. Also, I'm glad you support this app.



Whether that sharp drop was caused by reduced post quality I don't know, but somehow I doubt that. Maybe to some extent, but most likely one of the causes is merit sources going afk, or just not beign as active as before.
Merit activity from users who were previously quite active makes quality posts slightly decrease and some of our Local Board merit source also become less active (one of which has been inactive for a long time) so this affect the number of merit distributed in the Local Board. Regeneration might be able to increase the number of merit distribution every month especially when we have enough users who also care about post quality but don't get enough merit. So it's possible for me to think about fixing this situation if my application is accepted by theymos.

Either way, good luck with your application buddy.
Thanks mate, I still have hope to get it.  Cheesy

Looking at Indonesian post activity and amount of merit shared, there is definitely room for improvement, merit/post wise. ~Year and a half ago Indonesian board used to have one of the highest merit/post ratios among all locals, and now is among those with lower ratio, albeit it has been increasing in the last few months.

Whether that sharp drop was caused by reduced post quality I don't know, but somehow I doubt that. Maybe to some extent, but most likely one of the causes is merit sources going afk, or just not beign as active as before.

Either way, good luck with your application buddy.

I guess the same way he promoted bunch of other local board merit sources. It's not like this is a first local board merit source application ever.
