How I wish that it will happen soon in this forum but for now I don't think that it will be implemented by Theymos because the Merit system itself has its flows that needs to be solidified first before going to the next step. I think we all hoping the betterment of the forum, it's just a matter of time though. If only many programmers are available in improving this forum maybe the upgrading process will be much more faster than we expected but there are only few of them working on this.

That is actually a great idea. It's a pain currently trying to browse and to find the most helpful answer on the thread in the sea of shitposts.
if such function existed, it would be possible to just skip all the unhelpful answers and then read only the best answer.

The idea is good but the problem is the low number of merit sources at the moment and also the low number of threads that they patrol on. I believe if there was an option offered to the thread maker that "allow searching posts by top merits" when the thread would be active it would be a good thing to segregate the shitposts from quality posts.

However we need more exposure of threads from merit sources then.



O don't think merit sources are the problem. If there is only one merited answer it will be on top, and any user can merit.
Maybe we need more merit sources, (for sure better distribution, as many local boards don't have any) but this can be implemented anyway.

I think you refer to a system as Reddit voting system.
Many people have armies of accounts that can be used to influence the system and make specific signatures appear first.
Merit points still mean a kind of excellence for the post/topic.
Personally, when viewing a lot of replies, I give merited posts a higher value.

Yes, but how to do this? By reporting to mods the good activity too? For maybe the "best answer" to you is not the best for everybody.
It is a brilliant idea, now we just have to figure out how to implement it...

I have already suggested(I think it is similar but your thoughts) to make another column that shows how many merited post in a certain topic. And once we click it, merited post will only be filtered.

That would be a great solution to read usefull answers on a topic.

Edited:
This was my suggestion.

Hello. I was looking at this thread, where a guy asked what was the problem in keeping funds on Coinbase.

Many people gave the answers everyone already knew, but one answer was better (wasn't mine)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.35637828

It could be very helpful if it was the first answer. If we could click a button"sort by top merited"

What do you think?
