Topic: sMerit Post-Review - page 18. (Read 11299 times)

I've had to delete multiple posts that were just spam in this review-round, please do not post local-section posts that I cannot read. They won't get merit, and they won't be left in the thread; if you want merit for these threads, let them stand on their own or go to a similar thread to this in your local section.


OP should merit you for answering a Binance question, I don't see how that is something I would want to merit; not helpful to me, the community at-large or high-quality by my standards. The Twitter Re-audit has nothing to do with bitcoin, development, blockchain or anything else that we even do here. The only relevancy twitter has to this forum are the terrible bounties that pop-up using twitter as their platform of choice. It is not helpful, but you can expect merit from the people you are actually "helping". Your last post is the 879th reply to an ICO and the only thing you do is ask a question that's already been answered and said "Thanks." No merit, and I feel like you've intentionally wasted my time.


Since you have flooded me with your posts and were kind enough to point to which you believe to be your strongest posts are I have only reviewed the posts in bold and I am not impressed. These aren't high-quality or helpful posts, and if you do believe them to be helpful then ask for merit from those you have helped with these posts. Try to submit only a few of your very best posts for review, because you are not going to get merit for posts like this.


I've given you merit for this post, because you are right higher character count != higher quality post. It seems like you're not just posting for the sake of posting in this thread and you honestly are sharing your thoughts, which aren't completely without nuance and insight.


I do have to disagree with you on this though, while using more characters doesn't necessitate that your post is of higher-quality there still certainly is some correlation between character count and post quality (albeit subjective, at best). For example, there will never be a quality post with only a single character. Therefore, it cannot be the case that post-quality has "nothing" to do with character-count, because there is a minimum even if there is not a maximum.


Unfortunately I did not find the rest of your submitted posts to be as compelling, however I would encourage you to submit more of your posts, because you definitely have it in you to have these high-quality, fun and nuanced conversations.


Congratulations, you've submitted more posts than anyone in this thread to-date. In my opinion, none of these deserve merit from a 3rd party such as myself. A lot of these posts are either answering a specific person's question, correcting their misinformation or simply responding to a "funny story" thread. These are not universally helpful or high-quality, in my opinion. You should expect merit from the users you help, intrigue, make laugh (maybe) or something of that vein. These posts have done nothing for me of that sort, so for now you go without merit from me.

Again, only submit your best posts, you more than likely do not have a dozen posts that deserve merit, unless you are really special.

Hi.
I'm giving it a try.

The bounty suggestions won't be receiving merit, because I believe it to be a flawed idea. I appreciate the thought you've put into it and the intentions that you seemingly have surrounding the idea, but I've merited SFR10's post in your thread, because they outlined my concerns for your suggestion perfectly.


I have given you Merit for this thread, and apparently I am not the only one that feels the same. This is something that was definitely "needed" as it's going to help a lot of people figure out their requirements/thresholds for ranking up. I really like the post, if I get time I'll try to help you find bugs or make suggestions.


None of these deserve merit, in my opinion. One is in a mega-thread and only repeating the same information that has been said dozens of time in that same thread. One is a rambling post about ICOs, but doesn't really have any helpful information or insightful opinions. Then the last is an uninformed single sentence that EcuaMobi replied and informed you that nobody suggested what you are refuting. I don't believe any of these posts have helped anyone in anyway, except maybe learning what not to post.


None of your posts that you've submitted will be receiving merit from me either; it seems like there are other users that have found your posts to be helpful so that is your saving grace. They have and will continue to grant merit for people like yourself that help them specifically, but as I said it is just too situational and I do not find it personally helpful so I can't feel justified in handing out merit to these. As far as giving merit to that other user for their thread they have started, I did not give them merit either, but I went ahead and followed the rabbit-hole over to LoyceV's thread about the same thing and gave that a merit : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19121647


Your first post about deflation is pretty high-quality and deserving of a Merit, I think. While I disagree with a couple of the things you've said there, like deflation is disincentive for borrowers/investors. I do like the thought that went into it and I agree with more than half of it, regardless it is very thought-provoking and it is the kind of conversations that I used to see around here a lot. We need more in-depth conversations about cause, effect, implications, economics, direction, theory, etc. I really like the chart that you brought to the table for the discussion about bankers killing cryptocurrency. Again, I think we come to different conclusions and interpret the data differently, but I have never seen a chart that quantifies things so concisely and in a comparative manner such as this. Your posts make me think and consider things that I have neglected to, it is quite fun. I type this as I review each new post, but it looks like you scored a 3/4 with your posts here and moreover you seem like an interesting user to have a back-and-forth with on these kind of topics. You are informed enough where you don't seem triumphantly naive or arrogant, you simply are there to have conversation and it isn't the same boring dribble we normally see from lower ranking members.


This is the only post I didn't throw you merit for from your submissions, just because it doesn't feel very "helpful" or something I would give merit for; while I agree with what you've said in the post, I just don't feel like it deserves merit.


These posts are the 40th and 100th+ reply to a thread and they offer no new information, they seek to respond/reply to nobody that has said anything in the thread. You are simply typing up 2-3 boring and dull sentences and throwing it on a deep page of a thread to hope it never gets read, but still somehow gains you merit. This is not a reality and you will have to dig inside yourself to have a more meaningful conversation that this, not high-quality or helpful in anyway.

I do almost the same thing with my sMerit points in the beginners and help section but I'm reading all the posts and report the spam .
Let me try your service. I'll just post two posts.
My suggestion for changes in the Bounty section, looking for different opinions too : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/idea-for-the-bounty-section-and-ann-improvement-update-2827369
My informative post for the newcommers : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/comprehensive-guide-to-bitcointalk-newbie-friendly-calculator-and-infographic-2534500

None of these deserve merit, and I'm honestly a little confused why you even bothered to post them here, but I don't mean to be harsh; I've had much worse. Again though, if you believe to have helped someone specifically, then you should expect merit from that specific person.


I have given these threads Merit, because it was not the same old nonsense as you usually see. You directed a newbie to the search bar, instead of just feeding into the shitpost mega-thread they are trying to create. You gave some really solid investment advice, from your own perspective, in a very concise and helpful manner in respect to what they were asking.


I'm not a YoBit member, so I found this post "alienating", in that it doesn't help me in the slightest. It might be a merit-earner from other YoBit users or people that find this helpful, but I personally do not.


I unfortunately cannot give merit to this thread, because I cannot read it or understand it in the slightest. While I am willing to look at local-threads, I have to be able to read them in order to determine whether or not they deserve merit; the default assumption is that they do not deserve merit, until they've earned it in my opinion. I would suggest seeking merit from those that can actually read the thread.


Feel free to come back and use the service time and time again, you are one of the few lower-ranking members that actually has discussions worth having (from what I can tell from your submissions in this thread). I have Watched this thread, because when I get time I plan to involve myself in the conversation; I really like the conversation about "Stable" crypto, the purchasing power, volatility and comparison to fiat. You've earned Merit for this post.

Hi, I'm doing it again!

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29194693

Please share your opinion.

Merits stay even if the post is deleted, but there is a public Merit page - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=370611 so you can see from whom and for what each user has earned their merit.


I've given this post Merit, because while I'm sure this information has been posted around before, it is a helpful starting point and of much higher-quality than the other discussions happening on that board. Mega-threads are the death on Bitcoin Discussion, it gets so boring so quickly.


This, unfortunately is why I won't be giving merit to any of these threads, I believe all of them to be in mega-threads where nobody is having a meaningful conversation, adding anything interesting or saying something unique. These threads should be left to dry-up and die; same old conversations and same old people copy + pasting.


I don't think MACD and RSI are good indicators within the cryptocurrency market, until it is corrupted in the same way that Forex has been; this very well may be the case with futures, but as of right now traditional trading strategies just don't work. I won't be giving merit for the thread asking "Is bitcoin going up or down?" as this is the single most annoying question that is asked every 15-seconds. I'm not going to be giving merit for any of these posts, because at best they are situational, helpful to the OP and maybe a couple others, these people should give you merit.



Until I believe people to be abusing my service, there is no "limit", but if you spam a wall of links, I'll probably just delete your post.


Your suggestions for improving security are not that well thought out in my opinion; theymos has certainly considered these options, but have your considered that adding all of these other protocols may introduce newfound vulnerability? There is no reason to be alerting everyone when they log-in from a different IP address, as this is just simply how most people use their accounts. Paying extra to use Google Auth, sounds absolutely horrid. The other question about Indian exchanges should get you merit from Indian users, assuming it is actually helpful to them. Lastly, the "Spot a good ICO" has been a thread made at least a dozen times in the past day and everyone gives the same answer that you've given. While it is true, it is not new, helpful or high-quality, IMO. No merit for these posts.


No Merit for these posts, and I won't be giving more effort in my review than you did in your post (oh wait, already have done that)

It certainly is taking a lot of time, more so than I had assumed from the beginning.


The one post is talking about joining signature campaigns for earnings and such, and so I will not be giving you merit for that post, and the other post is simply answering OP's question. This should/would get you merit from OP and anyone else that is looking for that answer, I see you've gotten some merit in that respect so there is no need for me to merit this.

Hello Bill, Please review the below posts of mine. If you think it is informative to the concern thread. You please share the smerits to it.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29056037

Not very interesting, extremely short and I'm not sure who is supposed to find this helpful, informative or high-quality; I just can't see how this post is deserving a merit. Feel free to try again with a better post.


Your post about holding bitcoins and everyone talking about how they could've been a millionaire is nuanced and I enjoy it; it requires market movement, sales, transactions, etc. for bitcoin to grow, adopt and develop in the way that it has. Every transaction has played it's part, and it's nice to see you acknowledge, yeah we could've all held 1,000 coins, but we didn't. The posts about bounties and mining I didn't find particularly compelling, either.


I have given this post Merit , because you definitely gave OP the information they were looking for without repeating the information that anyone else mentioned. It was short, concise, but it gave helpful information to the person that needed it, went above and beyond what they were asking and maybe even answered a question they didn't think to ask.


I have given this post Merit, even though I don't normally give much credence to faucets. It seems like you're putting in the effort to inform everybody as well as possible, not just blowing off questions or "clients". I appreciate that you are trying to make faucets interesting and worth it, again, since lately they've been cancerous in my estimation.


Your request to have that post reviewed is seemingly longer than the post you're asking to be reviewed. It is the 80+ reply to a mega-thread and it doesn't seem like there is much meaningful discussion taking place. I'm not giving merit to this post.


I won't be giving either of these posts merit, because they are in very bland and boring threads that have been beat to death over the years with the same uninteresting discussions over and over again. They are almost mega-threads, without the mega, they have the generic, boring and uninteresting part down, but they are just missing the number of replies. I just don't think these kinda of threads are helpful or merit-deserving.


No, I'll keep it short; This is in a mega-thread, does not share any unique information/opinion and is shorter than my morning piss.

First of all i would like to acknowledge how great the idea you have come up to.
I have a question, what will happen to the merits that have been given to you if ever the post that have been merited has been deleted?
(If ever it will still be count, then it can be use in illegal way like buying merits then after that, delete the post so no one can track who gives the merits or where the merits came from)

Thanks for this opportunity you have given to us to have a chance of getting merits. Here are some of my post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29166442
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29008015

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28518284
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29103043

This will also help me know if my posts are informative and constructive enough, and if not then i will continue to improve the quality of my posts.

I'll also be taking a look at this thread occasionally and distributing the merit that I have. I would encourage anyone who has merit to do this too. Hopefully, with all of our merit combined it will help quality users progress.


I quite like the idea of making it easily accessible for anyone viewing the thread. even if isn't a spreadsheet and is just a list of posts which you have been merited by OP but, are still under merited.

Upon having a great conversation with one of my faucet users, I give a general understanding of raw impressions vs. unique impressions, break down the earning differences between CPM and CPC, and shed some light on how slim faucet profit margins are. Whether this post gets merited or not I would very much appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Hello sir, even though I bring a newbie I have tried to post somewhat good content even before the merit system was introduced. Could you please review my posts

Every single one of these posts is in a mega-thread, I'm not going to even explain in-depth what is disappointing about these.


I have Merited both of the threads above, because they're helpful and intriguing. I have my own reservations about Warren Buffet, and I tend to think that his quotes, wisdom and advice is more self-actualization than it is altruistic. Although if viewed through the proper lens the man has a lot to offer. The blockchain without cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency without blockchain post is a conversation I've had to have many times in the recent year or so because of so many companies try to hop on the train just to throw out a buzzword or two.


I don't know enough about the alt-coins and ICO scene to really give you a fair analysis of these posts, so I'm sorry I won't be able to throw some merit at these. It would seem more likely that the person you're informing/helping would be able to hook you up.


None of these are that helpful, it mostly seems like you're in one thread having a disagreement with another member. Not exactly something that I would find helpful, or think that very many others would find helpful. If you would like to get merit from people within that thread that may be appropriate, but unfortunately not from me.


I will be watching this thread, and if I find the information to be integral, helpful and consistent then I will definitely pump some merit at it.



I wanted to give the MEW scam accusation a merit, but I unfortunately am not sure how many people were helped by this post. It would seem that MEW probably got the message out to anyone that was interested, but I suppose if someone merits you for that thread then I would be proven wrong, eh?

The other was a simple question, that has been asked many many times and discussed heavily.

Strict verification is something that will freak everyone out around here, so even suggesting that sort of thing is taboo, AFAIK. It's again, a conversation that has been had many times, and the community seems to have settled that particular issue in the context you've brought it up in.


I've given you Merit for this post, because my goodness is it long, informative, helpful and it gives a point-of-view we don't regularly get around here. It was a very interesting read, and for that you've earned it.

I would like to kindly ask you to evaluate the posts below. Do you think they are informative and on the topic? Thank you!

If you'd like to keep this going past the point where you run out of sMerit, you could make something like a spreadsheet (or just modify OP) where you could keep a list of undermerited posts.
Other users could then come in and merit the posts on the list if they agreed with your evaluation, and then you could remove them from the spreadsheet.

(I've sent you some Merit for now so you can continue this though)

I have given you merit for this post, because it is insightful and most people overlook strategies and realities such as you've laid out in your thread. I've also bookmarked the thread, because when I get an extra minute or two I plan to hop into the conversation myself; I used to do some day trading and it was no different from how you've laid it out.


I'm not going to be giving you merit for either of these posts, because they are just asking a question; in a very hard to understand manner, at that. This would mostly only be helpful to yourself, especially when there is no follow-up guide or explanation for people having similar problems or anything like that. If you would have written an informational post about what you found the answer out to be that might help other's in the future, that post would deserve merit.


I have merited this post, because it definitely served the community as a good relay of information; I'm not sure about if there were similar threads at the time, but it definitely helped people understand what was going on in a high-quality informative, concise manner. I appreciate this kind of post.


I'm sorry, I won't be giving you merit for these posts, a lot of them are hard to read, repeat information that others have already presented in the same thread and are apart of a mega-thread. It looks like you're putting in a decent effort, but I just believe you're putting it in the wrong place. Try to be the first person to say whatever information you're going to say, don't be the 15th person; and read the entire thread to know if you are repeating anybody, if you cannot read the whole thread then you probably shouldn't be posting there.

Thread Reviewed & Cleaned up to this point I appreciate some of you just posting in here to say "Nice service, keep it up.", but if I let those posts stay this thread would get messy, very quickly. I've deleted the rejected posts and the posts that I don't believe to be a contribution to what we're trying to accomplish in this thread.  Thanks everyone who has participated so far.

Hmm interesting  . Since it will be really hard to go throw all my posts I will just post couple of topics I opened , dunno if they really deserve any merit but hope they do .

I've given you merit on these two threads, because it seems like you get pretty involved with these kind of things and give a well-thought response while most others are just mindlessly saying the same thing they do in every ICO. I appreciate you calling out the one for being a blatant money-grab.


I'm sure these are high-quality posts, but I unfortunately cannot read this language so I won't be able to figure out if you need merit or not. I don't trust automatic translation programs, so I'm sorry to say no merit on these. If you'd like me to take a look at more of your English posts, feel free to come back with those.


The same information is posted multiple times in that thread above yours. I'm not going to merit you being the 5th person to say the same thing to the same person. You could have provided more information, as well.


One of these is in a mega-thread, which is always a bad sign. The one about declaration of donation did not provide enough information for it to be actually helpful or high-quality. That user walked away with no more information because of your post. The post about the merit system simply restates information that others have already beat to death and repeated multiple times. The last post about venezuela coins is interesting, but not too terribly high-quality. It doesn't add a whole lot to the conversation, rather just sort of quotes someone that I'm not sure how the reply fits as a response to them. It just feels pretty forced over all, try to only post in discussions that you have something unique to say that hasn't already been said.


You might have been the first one to bring this up so I threw you a merit; I noticed it is in theymos' OP, but I'm not sure if that was added after you had asked the question. So I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and throwing you a bone.


I'm not going to be giving you any merit for these posts, two of them are just about mobile legends betting, which is goofy, but not helpful, high-quality or worth a merit as far as I can tell. Your solution to the spam problem has been suggested many times and turned down many times for various reasons; the search bar would've been a solid thing to use in this instance. Helping update the signature campaign thread isn't high-quality in my opinion, there are members that already do it, they do not need help, they do a phenomenal job and I don't plan on giving them any merit for it either.




You do deserve merit for this kind of this, but as I said previously if I can not read it then I cannot properly analyze/review it for merit. I'm sure you will gain a lot of attention from that local board and receive merit accordingly; I will keep your post in this thread and not delete it, because I believe that it deserves merit even if I cannot justifiably give it merit.

Thread Cleaned-Up, Reviewed and Responded to up to this point
Thanks everyone for participating, I will probably go through all of the merited posts and give another +1 to them tonight. Keep the juices flowing.
