Topic: The Advantage of Merit System for our froum (Read 217 times)

the merit system is a rule that says, your rank will not increase Only by increasing the number of your posts. it means that by this rule, users don't post anything for reaching higher ranks in the forum. so, the volume of the database will not increase like Mushroom species. and users after sometimes only post useful things and this cause decreasing the growth of the database volume

I do work with mysql(though in its basic stages) but what i said and meant is different. However, just to be clear are you stating that just because there is growth in the "database", there may be problems? Again how exactly does growth in volume relate to merit system? It's difficult to comprehend what you're trying to say here.

thanks so much for your response; if you worked with databases, specially; with SQL and cpanel platform, you will see that sometimes, the volume of the database is growth suddenly so it may cause some problem it doesn't relation with DDOS attacks. it is related to MY SQL volume. please see below link my dear friend

If you don't have a good point which hasn't been stated already, I don't see any reason why this thread should exist.
I might have thrown up in mouth after reading this. You're trying to say something but it's not at all clear.
After the merit system has been introduced, shitposters and spammers like you didn't know what to do and started shitposting on how to earn merit and how it has ruined their lives.
Boy you don't know one thing about this forum. The forum becomes slow because of DDOS attacks.¹
It is not that difficult, if you spend a little time away from shitposting, you can find anything and everything.
This has nothing to do with the merit system. Rather there have been few more DDOS attacks.
It hasn't. Again,shitposters are whining about merit system in every board.
What exactly do you mean?
But yet they chose to whine.
You're just repeating the same thing over and over again. So let me also repeat it and remind you, merit has nothing to do with the forum's loading speed directly ¹
Sadly it hasn't yet. It's the same but hopefully we can see such in the future.
Then let them stay the fuck away. Remember that these are the ones who ruined the forum with shitposting in the first place.
Yeah sure they'll do that. You don't analyze things well.
Let them do, they shall face consequences.

1-Though some theories suggest that merit system has caused some Butthurt idiot to cause such DDOS attacks. 

Appreciated. But you should express this in the official thread about merit system. What is the point in opening  anew thread about merit system if you have nothing to add.

I think, it is necessary to determine some law for merits and so Admins could merit good accounts periodically

the main problem is that how can we identify bought accounts?

I've got a great solution - I use the ignore feature. If I put you on ignore, then I won't be able to award you with any sMerits.  Currently my ignore triggers are -

- Posting a whole reply in a non-english language on an english board.
- Including over-sized embedded graphics
- Begging for merit
- Posting garbled random english words
- Large blocks of text with no paragraph breaks
- Oversized or coloured text, and formatting to expand the length of your post.

These are purely personal criteria, and I have adopted them to enable me to scan threads quickly.

If someone is not able to make enough quality posts, he does not deserve to rank up. Obviously if he is here to participate in signature campaigns, he will fail to do so. It is better that they leave and get a real job to earn money.

Great to see the pajeets haven't given up.. go away from meta for a few days and it's just the same as before.

Maybe we should set up some hotkeys
/shitpost
/ use search
/pajeet begging

It was a very nice try on praising the merit system in the hope of earning some merits from other users, but do you mind to rewrite your whole post again because I am actually finding it quite hard to fully understand what are the main points you are trying to present in your post.

I'll be totally honest with you, what you posted is totally unnecessary, and if you are doubtful let me clear you, you won't get Merits just for starting new threads, but there should be something for the community in it. No posts repeating the same, usual and clear-to-all concepts are liked by anyone. Try to find a discussion where you know you can add something which has not been added yet, and give it your best shot. That is the only way you can earn Merits.
Take the advice, do what I said.

P.S: We already know everything about the system, all of us.

You forgot the most crucial one. Members can make a thread about merit systems and earn some merits. I guess it is not working now.

as you see, recently our forum, use merit system for ranking the user inside user activity. some users are glad for this new system of the ranking and some other no. but Although this merit system is not Pleasant for someone; but it is very necessary for our forum because the ecosystem of bitcointalk forum will some advantage for below reasons:
1-first of all moderation of a forum is very hard work, so when some users sent Successive without searching in the forum, the admin's job to separating all of the posts had been very difficult.
2- without merit system; the database volume increased form spam posts! this cause to reduce the speed of loading of the forum and also Cause to Increase resource consumption.
3- sometimes this spams post if growth most cause to database error (in some sites occurs).
4- searching process and finding useful links was been difficult for newbies.
so after launching these new systems, we see that:
1- forum loading speed is increased
2- Saving time for administrators for moderation of topics
3- resource consumption is optimized
4- newbie users could reach their questions in with consuming low time
5- the risk of site downing is decreasing and so on.
6- the useful posts and topics increasing



but I think; the crackdown on merits may lead to some problems:
1- some users will be Discourage from bitcointalk forum
2- If someone that he wrote a high quality and original post, did not catch merit, may be left the group
3- some people will work on account trading for taking profit.

so; I think; the Overall idea of merit system is so good, but it may be optimized for more development of forum.

what are you think? are you agree?
