Topic: sMerit Post-Review - page 15. (Read 11279 times)

I don't think we should be encouraging members to post for merit.   

We should be encouraging them to post for information/interest.  Merit comes as a surprise. 

I swear I'm not procrastinating; I spent the last few days getting my miners set up and dealing with some government agencies. It has been a hassle, but I will do all of these very soon.


It is a conversation that needs to be had, but it this is not a conversation that I can dish out merit for. If you are able to suggest or educate more members and actually prevent scams then I would be more impressed and able to give you a merit.


The first submission looks mostly like a Copy + Paste of some terms that everyone mostly knows. I'm sure this might come in handy to some people, but I will leave it for them to merit you for this. The second submission is the 100th+ reply in a thread and does not add any new information to the discussion. I won't delete the post, in case I need to reference/link your term thread; if I have to link it I will throw you a merit.


I can't even follow what you're trying to say in this post. I'm not sure if it's because I'm tired or if you're not making much sense. Either way, I don't see it being in line for merit.


The first submission is just explaining what an airdrop is, plus it has already received merit. I don't merit these type of posts, but it looks well written at least. The second post just reads like a long conversation, and while it might be helpful it is not concise or universally helpful in the way I'd like it to be. It's nice to see the approach you take with things, write very well, but I would expect merit in these situations to come from those you help.


I want to give you a merit, but this is mostly just information that users should be able to gather from reading the stickies already plastered around the forum. If this wasn't fundamentally the same information that is in those, I would've given you a merit.

Here are some of my posts, if you consider them helpful, please, rate them

Thought this would qualify . Every point would be a a great help .
Have a nice day !

I hate to do this to you, but you've submitted 6-links and that breaks my 5-link rule. I had to make an exception out of someone that regularly posts wonderful posts, so I can't let anyone slide by on it; feel free to resubmit.


You have already received merit for this, a lot of merit; I will not be giving merit to this kind of service.


I don't read through your entire post history like QuestionAuthority does, I wish I had time to handle such a task. I have all of my rules laid out in the OP, but the post you've linked doesn't get any merit from me.


This is just a compilation of airdrops; definitely not something I am interesting in giving merit to at this point.


It is an interesting read, but you've already received a merit for this post and it's more a conversation with another user. I might have merited this post had it not already had one.

Hope I can gain some merit on this.

Thanks and my regards.

I propose 3 of my posts. If you think they have some value please give them some merit, otherwise please forgive me for wasting your time.

I appreciate the idea, but I don't think it would speed up things at all; my biggest problem is finding the 30-minutes per post to review everyone. Making a google spreadsheet to help organize it wouldn't make that any faster. I already have it pretty organized, just haven't found the time.


Your first submission is a very interesting read, so thank you for that; but it has already received some merit, and it mostly is just a conversation about something I don't know too much about. Either way, I don't believe it to be under-merited. The second submission seems to sit on the fence and agree without saying too terribly much. Again, mostly a conversation and something I don't understand terribly well. Your last post is mostly in the same category, but again they were all interesting reads so I encourage future submission for sure.


Broke a local-rule, using url tags makes it a headache to go through your posts; feel free to resubmit.


I have given this post a Merit; it is well structured, it is highly informative and I can see this helping out a lot of users. It taught me some things, and even though it already has been merited, I could definitely see it deserving of another.


Maybe I am naive, but this is something I expect people to already know when using the tags and embedding images. I will be considering this for future merit, depending upon whether or not I have to link somebody to it in the future. Very solid work, if it hadn't received any merit yet I would have given you one for sure. I'm also down to my last merit at this point, so I'm being very conservative about it. No hard feelings I hope.

Thank you for providing special recognition for the Jr Members and newbies that are trying to contribute and earn merit. Someone that is looking out for the little guys!

Here is my post for consideration. Thank you for your time.

Your first submission has already received merit, and it buried pretty deep in the thread. It reads pretty generic to me, and your second post doesn't read any more interesting, informative or anything like that. Your third submission is the worst offender, 300th+ post in a mega-thread and all of your posts follow a similar theme to this. They don't serve any significant purpose in the discussion, from what I can see.


The first post is already merited pretty well, and it's not something I understand well. Your second post was in response to a direct question and I normally expect OP to merit in these situations. Most of these are the same way, but I'll tell you this, I recently got into mining and I can see you answering one of my questions. If this becomes the case you can expect merit from me when you do. It's definitely helpful, just not the sort of thing I merit generally. The last submission I wanted to merit, but there's something about it that won't allow me to. It's a very interesting read, but I don't generally merit conversations of the manner. I'll be watching your posts and review in the future, because you are very helpful for sure and deserve merit even if it doesn't fit the scope of this thread or what I have going.


I have given your first submission a Merit, because I was having similar thoughts about this. I was thinking that this is going to victimize a lot of people and open the doors for all kinds of identity theft. An open discussion surrounding this would be a good thing, helpful to a lot of people. The second and third submissions seem to be more like general financial/trading advice; they're more an economic conversation and I would expect the person you're speaking towards to be responsible for any merits there. The same goes for the final submission, but I honestly almost gave the final submission another merit, but it seems to be lacking in solutions or proposals on what should be done about the volatility or if this truly will continue to deter businesses from implementing Bitcoin. It was very enjoyable reading your posts though, and I'm going to continue to read your posts moving forward.


Broke local-rule, please no formatting the url tags, it makes it a headache to go through your posts. Feel free to re-submit, though.

Hello OP!

Please check this post if its worthy to receive a merit. Please try to check my others posts as well. Thanks alot!Have a great day ahead of you!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30449415

I've organized now so that it is easier when I decide I can go through all of these; I normally spend a lot of time doing each of you. Probably takes me 5-10 minutes per person on average.


This is in a language I do not understand; can not grant you merit.


One of your posts was just suggesting someone check out a particular bounty program; which is really lame if you think that deserves merit. The second submission is just generic trading tips that have been mentioned hundreds, if not thousands of times around here. None of these deserve merit.


Seems like you've already been drowned in merit for your first submission, plus I don't know too much about mining alt-coins. I've just begun mining alt-coins recently, but none of this information was particularly helpful to me if we're being honest. You've also received a good bit of merit for your second submission; one of my criteria is checking whether I believe the post to be under-merited. Your last submission is just asking for people to vote for some mobile app, so I won't be dishing out any merit to your posts here.


Your first submission was the 250th or so reply in a mega-thread, so I didn't even bother reading it and that was a discouraging start. Same thing goes for the second and third replies as well, both deep replies buried in a mega-thread that I didn't even bother to read; one of them was the 5000th+ reply.


Your first submission is just describing how payment structures work for certain signature campaigns, which isn't the sort of thing I'm looking to merit. This information is provided by each individual campaign and doesn't need my merit. Same goes for your second submission; it is just explaining what an ICO is, rather incompletely, and has already received a chunk of merit.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30266690
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30157489

I'm flying through these at this point.


I don't know enough about NEO, China or ETH to consider the first post; although it seems like some others have taken notice and given you merit, so that should suffice. Same goes for the second submission, and normally I wouldn't merit a post simply talking about their pick of coin, either. The final post is the 150th+ reply in a mega-thread asking if ETH is a scam. Beating a dead horse, not really bringing any new information to the conversation.


I normally have given you merit each time you submit, but this time I have to unfortunately make an example out of you. This way nobody will think I'm favoring you, because the local-rule is no more than 5-links per submission! Feel free to re-submit after you adjust.



"Write best post" in thread "How to get merit?"; this alone almost makes me not want to read through the rest of your submissions. Your English is very hard to understand, and your second submission is about social media bounties, which are really obnoxious and useless on multiple levels. Listing off BTC Debit card companies is also not worth merit in my estimation. If you were running a reputable BTC debit card service, then this might be meritable. Explaining what a spreadsheet is after a dozen people have already done the same thing in the thread is not worth a merit either. I should have taken my first instinct and stopped reading your submissions after the first one. You simply repeat the answers that others have given, but somehow provide less information than they did.


The first submission is talking about receiving the biggest reward in bounties. This isn't helpful in my opinion, at least not in a way that would be meritable. The second goes with the rule I said earlier, about not meriting posts that are simply news articles re-posted; plus, you submitted twice before I got to you so you also broke a local-rule.

Hello sir can I get merit for Twitter free reaudit service?

I hope I will get merit from you.

Going through some reviews now and will continue through tonight, probably 3-4 hours until finished. Post your submissions now and I'll go through all of them (even those posted after this) tonight.


You didn't write the first one, you give credits to somebody else and then fail to link to the original article. Copy + Pasting someone's article does not deserve merit, especially when it isn't even bringing new information forward. The other is pointing people towards airdrops/bounties. I'm not giving you a merit for these.


These are all pretty much going to be denied for the same reason; I'm not going to set the precedent that if you basically just Copy + Paste the link to an article about Bitcoin then you receive a merit for it. The articles were interesting enough though, and I did enjoy reading them so thank you for that. If you were the article writer, I'd probably give you a merit.


I already gave you a merit for this thread Tubsie; so I'm going to have to decline. I realize it is another post, but it didn't need to be. Also, you formatted the link with tags in your submission, so you also broke a local-rule.


I've seen dozens of posts like the first submission, talking about what to do before investing in an ICO. I'm going to say, if you have a systematic approach to investing into something that is supposed to be revolutionary, then it's been over-saturated and is probably not operating as originally intended. Plus you already were given 10+ merit for this post. Another is to just identify which Alts to buy, which isn't particularly helpful to me, nor informative.

I am interested in the 01BTC journey, though, I haven't given you a merit at this point. I have watched the thread and I will be following along now and then. If you start hitting some serious mile-stones and sharing your story I will definitely be into that and might throw some merit for the unique situation/journey.


The first post is just your perspective/opinion on what normally occurs whenever change happens, nothing really unique or insightful being brought forward with this information. While you're right, it isn't something I'm interested in meriting at this point. The other post seems to be in the suspected merit abusers list, without adding to the list; this seems to just be a messy post in the thread that wasn't helpful or needed. The last was posting in a bounty/signature thread, nothing of use. Nothing meritable here.

Hi bill please review my Thread and my post.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30513964
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29747981

Sheesh this thread has been extra active lately, and I've been extra lazy. I promise, I will get to all of you, might lock the thread until I manage to make that happen.


The one post about leaving your work for Crypto was a decent read, but it is buried on page 8 or something like that and it doesn't necessarily add anything except an anecdote (which has been exhausted throughout the thread). In other words, it's more just a conversation. One of the posts is the 400th+ reply on a mega-thread so I didn't even bother to read it. The last one is not really worth a merit either; I don't know, maybe I am being conservative because I am running low, but it just seems like you mostly have conversations without adding very much (or anything).


This would have gotten a merit if it attempted to explain anything. If you even tried to explain what the fake metamask looked like, or how to avoid it, how to remove it, or even linked to an official announcement from metamask it would've been more feasible to merit the post. I've already put more thought into your post than you have, so not worth a merit in my opinion.


I've never heard of that book, so I'm in no position to talk about the content within it. Although, one book probably wouldn't suffice for a complete knowledge of Bitcoin. The post about ERC20 and ERC23 I cannot merit, because I'm simply uninformed in that area as well; plus, I don't feel like I stepped away from your post with a thorough understanding of the differences from a technical perspective. The post answering a question about SPV on ETH should probably be merited by the OP; they're a legendary, most likely have merit and asked a specific question. Although, again I don't normally merit this kind of Q & A.

The other guy got tagged by red trust from a DT member already, feel free to give them a negative reputation if you feel it is needed. I won't be giving a merit for your post pointing out their abuse, because this would set an unfortunate precedent, although I encourage you to continue doing this kind of work. It is very helpful.


I have given this post a Merit, because you've clearly put a lot of time, effort and thought into your post. It gives a lot of information, and even speaks about decentralized exchanges, which I did not even believe to be in existence. Very well done.


You've already gotten 10 merit for the first submission, which seems like too much already when it appears that you've missed what they meant by "Bounty". I think they meant tracking someone down, not running a signature campaign. The other post just says "This site looks ugly, clear scam, join my telegram"; not that type of post I believe to be worth merit at this point. Another post talks about using obscure online classes to learn about Bitcoin, rather than just reading the Whitepaper, old e-mails or other simpler means of learning about how Bitcoin truly works. It seems unhelpful and misleading to me. The last just talks about not using Bitcoin for car purchases, without explaining why. No meritable posts here, in my opinion.
