Topic: The other side of merit system - page 2. (Read 578 times)

When the Smerit system comes into cryptocurrency forum, people got some different opinions about it. Some find it okay and others get sad knowing they will not rank up just by sitting there and wait for the account to mature in time. In the past 120 days, i only got 10 merits in total. Not enough to rank up a full member but i find it better than ranking up without making any efforts.

Why people find the new Smerit unfair?
- Because they are here just to do campaigns which if they had higher ranks, they will be paying bigger.
- They are lazy enough to post and want all good things come without any effort.
- They are just here to spam so even if they post something in the forum, they will not get any merits.


Why other people find it better
- first of all, the spammed and nonsense post becomes limitted and soon to vanish in the forum.
- People are now starting to read seriously to share something knowledgeable in the forum.
- Lazy people starting to vanish and industrious ones are taking over the forum.
- bitcointalk.org becomes a better source of crypto information
- its inspiring when you post something and gets accredited by your co-users using merit system.
- those who are not that good in composing their posts are now improving big time.

You see, ten merits for 120 days is so weak for others but for me, those 10 merits reminds me that my posts are now improving and i needed more improvement to exceed that mark. It becomes my inspiration to continue learn and dig more into cryptocurrency. Good job for the merit system. It really makes things fall in the right place.
