I guess if the post is really deserving it is not an abused of the system anyhow in my personal opinion if I was going to merit somebody if I see he gain more than 100 merits already to his post I won't add anymore I will give it to other deserving persons who need it.

Yes, I think you can really see point with me. People make good post that deserves to be merited but once you come across such post that normally you think it need to be merit but occasionally the post already has a good merit I think no need to add more to it they are more other way to acknowledge a post aside from merit. You can drop a recommendation that will make the poster feel good as well just like those comments above it help the poster know better and give him more understanding about What he/she was taking about because no man knows all whati think is perfect might just be as normal to you.
Am really glad with different opinions shared in the post and know I have learned something new from it.

theymos said ones can send 200 to 300 merits to the others (just an exaggeration) if the others deserve to rank up. He said this in very early weeks after merit system was used in the forum, when people complained about merit sources and merit usages during those days. I remembered that question raised from the merit usages by Question Authority.

I have never seen ones or merit sources send 200 or 300 merits to one user to help ranking up. And as you see above, the maximum merits one can send to another is only 50 merits.

It is so easy to differentiate between right usages and misusages of merits (between legit merit receivers and ones who bought merits). Legit merit receivers earned merits for their good posts. In opposite, the others who bought merits often receive merits with shitposts or very low quality posts. That is not too difficult to realise.

Agree, and also we can't judge the sender on how many merit he/she will send (unless if it's bought, e.g. buy & sell merits, exchange merit), that's their own sMerits so they can do whatever they want.
That's why there are some insidence about merit, like what the OP said, sending too much merit for a low quality post only, but ended up nothing.

Hello community am confused about theway merit are being used in this forum.

The way merit are being given out to some post on this forum is turn abused, how on earth will a single post merit 30+ merit? and must of this post are just simple question or answer. Post are not suppose to be merit more than 2-5 depends on how helpful and relevant the post.

But it now seems many person now buy it even when they don't merit have any. I don't think this was the primary aim of adding merit to this forum. Please let stop abusing merit...

Please what did you think, what is your suggestion on regarding this? Huh

There are no limitations on awarding merit, a single person can give up to 50 per person for a certain period.

You can't find anything perfect in this world which applies to merit system of bitcointalk, if you feel that you are not getting more merits as the one who you are accusing then follow their writing behavior.

Myself speaking : Don't run for merits!

To be honest, I do not understand the point of creating such a topic. If you think that someone is engaged in the purchase or sale of merit, then give strong evidence of this.
You did not cite a single link as an example regarding the things you are talking about.

In addition, why are you looking at others, first of all you need to take care of yourself.
If you need merit, then try to earn it, and not try to convict other forum participants of violations.

Really, the number of merits to give a post is completely subjective. I could see a post that enlightened me so much that I could see the markets in a different way and I could give the dude 50 merits and I would think it's worth it. But again, it completely depends on how informative it actually is. I don't think a typical question should receive at least 5 merits or more(depending on the topic).

In the end, I still see this topic as those typical people crying out that they don't receive enough merits through their posts.

There are lot of factors that involves every time a user received a merit, for example the poster bought it from merit seller, the post is informative, the poster is an alt account and as mention above the user who gave merit see the post as helpful but if you think that some users are abusing the merit system then you open a thread in this section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0 and let other members give their opinions about your report.

Well, you forget to post the link of that post where it generates 30 so we can all see if the post deserves to get 30 merits, honestly, it's hard to get a merit, but I notice that if you create a threat that will give values to all readers, people will give you credit, you just have to give your best shot and hope that people will see the values on your post.

Actually, you can award up to 50 sMerits per person per 30 days, so a single post may receive that amount from a single person. I personally have not (I believe) gone over 4 or 5 sMerits per TX, but I’m a bit mean in terms of awarding amounts per post. Others are more generous and/or pressed on time, thus awarding larger amounts (pretty exceptional though to see large sMerit TXs). On some occasions, larger chunks may discretely be awarded to aid the ranking on a person who is nearly on his next rank.

I doubt that there is much sMerit trading going on, at least not in large amounts. Not that many people manage significant amounts nowadays, and there are always people on the lookout. For example, we can see all large sMerit TXs since the 01/11/2019 here (for >= 20 sMerits):

Most are from @theymos for the art contest. That is an exceptional event though. There stranger ones are normally trying to hide in places such as Ann threads, but there are less of those as time goes by.

On any system neither new or old, there would always be an abused yet people do have different motives in life either they would go to the slow and legit way or to fast and abusing way.

Giving 30 merits on a post which you do saw that it isnt really that worth but for the person who do give out such number of merits might have different views than you so we cant make any conclusions
yet we do have all the rights on using our smerit.If we do find helpful on our side then it depends on how much we do give.

You can always make a report though if you do find out some very seriou and oboviouss merit trading.
