Topic: The view of a new forum member for the MERIT system - page 2. (Read 315 times)

C'mon, I'm an ordinary member here, reading, learning, trying to help, create things that I feel are missing here and that's all.
It's that simple, most important here is to learn along the way.

Think that way, what are you good at and how you can use it here in order the others to benefit /time, knowledge,financially,etc/ from it?

People who are only after the merit points are doomed to fail. So don't make this mistake. Take your time, read and learnt, think and let the merit flow ..

Making good post is what matter in this forum even without receiving merit. I think this is the best option that we can participate in order to establish ourselves as a good citizen here and who knows time will come that the revision for this merit system will be our great surprising moment. I believe the admin is fair in his leadership.

I'm having this problem also. I try to add something to the community by adding quality posts and I've started a couple of threads but I don't seem to get any merit for it. I'm not concerned with it and you shouldn't be either. It would be nice to get some merit once in a while, but it isn't an end game.

Oh look, yet another thread about merit.


Uncertain for you maybe.


It's not. Most higher ranked accounts probably don't care about receiving merit. I don't. They're meaningless to me. I give them out to people who I think are making great contributions.


Have you thought that maybe these "famous members" might just be making better posts? Also, why can't you or anyone else become a famous member? All of the so called famous members likely earned their status by being an active or helpful member of the community in some capacity. There's no reason why you can't become one of them eventually.


More merit source can and very likely will be added.

FYI, it's not. Your rank doesn't undermine your posts. If your post has a decent substance to it, everyone will read it, no one cares about the rank.
You will never get merit because you don't post constructively period. That is how the system is supposed to work.
Neither is: nullius
LoyceV
etc. I could go on.

The point is, your status here doesn't matter. Everyone takes nullius seriously because he adds to the discussion and not because he is just a member.
Surprise, surprise. It is a Bitcoin forum. No one cares if you post. You only get merit when you post something that is constructive, at the very least.
As time passes, the number of farmed accounts would decrease substantially. You shouldn't be here to get paid*. If that is your main aim, this forum isn't for you. From what I've gathered from your post, it seems like the rank is the only thing that matters to you. Hmm.

* I'm never paid in Meta section nor have I really cared about getting paid or not.

With this system, the future of this forum is uncertain

I present my account as an example
I am a open "target" myself.
Regardless if my posts are characterized as qualitative or not, i will never "earn" (wrong expression of the work "earn") enough merits to "grow up" as a forum member and establish, in a way, my place into this forum and help/discuss/express my opinions/trading and more... with other forum members. I will never get Merits because I cannot give them back in return
This is how the system works

I am not a "famous" member.
The term famous refers to, bounty managers, higher lever members, administrators-moderators, people offering services and some more...
So, as i am not in the position of any of the above places (which seems that they get the highest % of merits regarding if their posts are quality or not!) I will NEVER and i mean never become a hero member, not even in 5-10 years

In addition, my local forum will be weakening as the days pass.
The members which are having the possibility to give merits are two (LOL).
Indeed, the active members (which are also aware of the usage of the merit system) can be countable in one hand

As the idea of stopping the junk and spam messages will be established with great success (from the *10,000 posts daily will remain *1,000), more things will also be neutralize, as for example, the announcements of new ICO's, bounties and probably advertisements, donations and more sources that offers payments to the forum itself and thereby to forum members  

Steadily and as the time passes, this place will become a place for hero and legendary members to discuss by themselves...
