I've said it a hundred times and I'm sure I'll be saying it a hundred more, at least; I am not interested in meriting topics surrounding Bounties such as this. Feel free to resubmit something with a bit more substance, and not similar to this topic.
Then I shall review those posts that you have not omitted, by your own request! Thank you for keeping up with your post and saving me a couple minutes. I had a read through the entire thread in each of your submissions that were not omitted; and I have decided to give a
Merit to the last one. I was strongly considering giving the post 2-merit, but since I am not a merit source I seem to always be low on merit. It is tough out here. I think Merit > sMerit rate might be better at .75, rather than .5, but that's just my take on things. I very well might double back and merit your first post in that same thread. The other submission just reads a bit too conversational for my taste.
The same old thread that has been posted hundreds of thousands different times. I won't be meriting this post.
Live-chat is neat idea, but for one reason or another I think it would prove itself to be more harmful than helpful, unfortunately. Extremely easy to abuse, and the forum is already starved for staff resources. It would seem counter-productive to stretch themselves thinner than they already are. I might get involved in the conversation, but as SFR10 has said, most people would be against it; most people, except the hoards of lower-ranking members wondering why their nonsensical post hasn't been answered by Satoshi. HCP did my job for me on one of your submissions so I will leave that post as it is,
thanks again, HCP! For some reason or another those "Merit Concern" posts don't seem to get me feeling like I want to merit. Not really sure, but they're just not compelling to me. You have a good point in the Press thread, but for some reason it feels like a stale point. Don't get me wrong, it is valid, but it's not something that made me think and feels like old news. I
almost gave you a merit for the price prediction post, because this is something I myself regularly let people know. Although, I certainly never believe it to be worthy of merit when I post it, so I'm going to have to decline. There were a couple submissions that made me open the merit page and come really close to clicking it, but for some reason HCP is the only merit you're getting this time around.
