Topic: Ten commandments (posts with no merits) (Read 188 times)

Somewhat 2 sides of an argument a.k.a Bitcoin cash shills vs Bitcoin core *devs, they all have incentives to post like that, still deemed high quality without judging them.

Somewhat low merit worthy:

Somewhat worthy of merit, I doubt it if he'd posted like that if he only had 2-3 Bitcoins, adds to the discussion nonetheless:

Of course, I will give them merits even if I get no more to give to others.
For a couple of months I have been off with jokes and trolling, because I was so frustrated by the incompetence of [1]moderators and the quality of the discussions.

[1]I was the one suggesting to charge fees on posts submitted by signature campaign participants to pay that money to new moderators, because I knew the current mods were too busy with hoards of new members.

I would give a legendary 1 merit no matter how good they are, that doesn't mean they are not good, a max amount of 2 merits for hero members, 3 for senior members, and so on, note that my previous sent merits were experimental, though the one I sent 10 merits to, even with low quality and one line posts, he has the ability to improve the quality where needed, let those 10 sent merits be as some sort of incentive, if you could post with a reasonable quality, you have the chance for ranking up.
I never wanted to get involved with trust system, because I never had anything to offer, but with merit system, I feel that I could offer something, I'd like this forum to have a growing traffic, if we don't reward the ones with reasonable post quality fast enough, they would get cold feet and think even if they are making sense, there is not enough appreciation for them.
You could make people a merit source for a month and replace them with other members to find permanent sources.
