Topic: The view of a new forum member for the MERIT system (Read 315 times)

Unfortunately not. They have a fixed number of posts that they will pay for and I'm pretty sure I'll exceed that this term
. I can't really see how I could've rephrased the first post to form the second though.
No need to apologise. Posts in meta doesn't count towards my signature campaign. I don't really care about that either, else I wouldn't be spending my time in sub forum and posts like this.

I believe that I have elaborated on the questions posed to you enough and you seem to be unwilling to address any of the questions.

Sorry LKingLion
i didn't fully understand your message.
regarding the merit that i gave... if you knew Greek, you would understand why i gave it.
It was regarding a technical discussion which i am very interesting in .

ranochigo,

i won't quote anything in this post because your next reply will be a newspaper.
Does your signature campaign gives more tokens if you write more letters?

you wrote exactly the same staff of your first post but with different words...

i am sorry for my ironic attitude but unfortunately u didn't understand and for sure you didn't read my posts. It is clear now that you are posting for getting tokens from your signature

So, i won't explain myself anymore, i think i was clear enough to be understood

I erase some of your post coz I would like to focus on what you mis.
If you present yourselves as an examples, why you didn't give your sMerit to unknown newbie or jr they are unable to give merit in return.
You're not a famous, yes either but why indicated this forum is uncertain while you don't want to go out here.
I would rather say, you're kind of jealous. This forum wasn't for heroes and legendaries this is for all CLEAR with that. Unlucky merit will go with you, me and everyone.

You are  not forced to do anything. It is still a choice.

Will you be kind enough to show us an example of a post of yours for which you believe is constructive? It's very subjective but the general consensus is that yours isn't, its pretty easy to tell.
No. The merit system isn't fool-proof but it seems like it works pretty well at separating the constructive and non constructive post.
Oops. But correlation =/causation. Still seems like you are reaching a bit too hard.

Copper member isn't any exclusive rank at all. Frankly, anyone can get it, if they are willing to pay. It just unlocks more features. Have you seen the content in their posts though? I would never consider a newbie or a legendary highly, unless they can at least provide content that has been well elaborated. I frankly ignore the rank when I look at posts.

Okay. Then why do you care so much about your rank? It seems like your rank is so important, to the extent that you need to type out a whole paragraph for it. Your opinion has been noted several times by the various topics with similar content. The fact that I see the signature on your signature space seems to suggest something else, together with the posts that you have with little to no substance to it.

I wasn't on my computer and thus my message was rather short.

Based on your quote:

It seems like you have the impression that the rank matters so much, such that newbies and people from the lower tiers cannot hold discussions on this forum. This is completely wrong and unreasonable; it is a forum that facilitates discussion. The rank does not prohibit or censor anyone from openly discuss their thoughts or ideas. Posts or "opinions" as you may say, are welcomed. They aren't when there are literally hundreds of topics regarding this.

I still don't get it. Why would your local community suddenly leave the forum after the introduction of merit? Why would anyone get discouraged because it takes longer to rank up? The rank doesn't mean anything! Some forums don't even have ranks and remain popular. You don't go to a forum to be awarded a gold medal for the most posts. You go there to share information. If you have nothing to share, you get no merit, that's all. If the members of your local community feel they need to be awarded for posting, send them here and we'll explain everything to them.

I didn't write this to get merits

coolcoinz,
I have already  mentioned the reason of my posts.
I care about the luck of this forum and in specific in my local community. I will stay in forum no matter what and i won't care if my rank increased or not. The thing is that probably this system will discourage people, who want to go "upper" for many reasons.

If this continues, probably will become a chain reaction.
If new people stop posting and old members get bored, i will personally miss a lot of good and valuable information and knowledge

I am saying again in exact words
I am not asking merits for my account, i am worried about my local community!

I fail to understand your logic. If you don't care then why do you complain about the merit system? I don't care much about people who trade accounts so I don't go from a thread to a thread telling them to stop and tagging them. Many people post here because they like to, not to get to a higher rank. This is one of the reasons the system was introduced, to discourage people who are posting only to get a higher rank. If you feel hurt by it, you are one of those people! The system was made just for you.

hilariousetc,


Oh look, another ironic comment from a higher status member
Thousands of those unfortunately...
So why you are reading Meta section and posting to a "another thread about merit." 


Of course you are not care about merits. You cannot go "higher" LOL
But listen to something, i am not care either  Check my status (Posts: 99/Activity: 98)


The thing is that I am not care, or having the time, or maybe i do not have the abilities to become a bounty manager or even a translator https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28587627
Furthermore, i still do not have a fully understand about cryptos and their details so to become a helper


This will be a good action

OP, I would have given you merit for your post(s) here, except for one thing:  they're posts bitching about how noobs like you are being treated unfairly by the merit systen.  Put that much effort into the rest of your output on bitcointalk and you won't have to worry.   You'll still have to be patient and expect that most of your posts won't get merit, so start working on the patience part and lock the thread.   We don't need another one about merit.

ranochigo,

This is your perspective, but the real life is out there...


Check my past posts, I am not analyzing quantum physics but i am not spamming as well
I will not get merit because i have only one account
Example: 50 merits for an announcement translation.  .
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28587627

So this is a constructive post?

Unfortunately the status does matter.
You gave nice examples!
nullius = Copper Member
LoyceV = Legendary

So, what was the thing...? that the status does not matter... Hmm Okey, i believe you now!

Sorry but your comment is not relative to what i am trying to say.


I am just writing my opinion about a new rule of a forum which i'm a member and this is because I would like it to continue it's contribution to the crypto world.
Before entering this forum I only knew two words, Bitcoin & Ethereum. Today i know a lot more in depth...
The cryptos has to do with profits, further of the idea what is behind them and that the future of the world will be based on blockchains.

About your "Hmm", check my number of posts/ability to see if i am here for chasing profits (Posts: 99/Activity: 98)

Please do your homework before criticizing

I think the merit system is a great idea for forcing new members to improve the quality of their posts.

Quite the contrary. I've seen most of the merits going to people who are in the lower end of the rank spectrum as opposed to legendary etc. The main reason for that perception is because most of them either repeats what is being said or has subpar post quality.

Yup, and both of those merits were given to me by my 2 most thought out contributions, which actually proves that merits are given for quality.

Now that you received two merits, you got one to give. As per your merit summary, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1844412 , you have not sent it to any member.

I know  tbh if I had merit to give, I wouldn't give it to a newbie account unless it was an above exceptional post.

You've been here three days. Give it some time.

The main point is how one's posts are good quality or not, rather than s/he is famous or not.
When the Merit system was introduced, I was a Jr. Member with 0 merit and I am sure I am not a famous member, but I've been trying to make good quality posts to help other members, earned some merits, and ranked up.
Yes it requires some time, research, and polishing to make good quality posts, but they lead members / forum more knowledgeable / informative
