There are higher ranks hold smerits and does not care about givimg merits especially to newbies and jr.member could we punish them so that it will be given? Literally they have high standards in giving merits or else they were just lazy in giving merits. How i wish those smerits if not given im a period of time will be deducted on their merits.

I'm literally out of smerit, for I have given all of them to good posts, but regarding punishment, I think we must introduce a new rule in the forum, where the beggers as you can be banned.

Instead of asking for punishment against them, why don't you ask for tips, advice on how you can improve your posts, or silently follow them, see how they post, their grammar and so on.

Because that requires intelligent appliction. I've tried a number of things to help, and I'm considering running down the Fit to Talk site due to lack of interest. It seems that if comments don't earn merit, or promote bounty scams, then they don't want to know.

This is the funniest thing i have read this day, let me laugh for a while, hahaha. Why would someone punished for doing nothing or not giving anything? It is hard to earn merits so people will make sure that they give smerits to the right person. Some even have a high standard for choosing the "right person".

This is a free forum, and asking for punishment is the stupidest idea I have seen here.

Your claim is false I have seen many people give merits to newbies, Jr Members BUT to deserving posts, no merit for cribbing, begging and spam posts.

If you yet feel you're not receiving any merits why don't you check a Bill gator thread he reviewes posts and there're many such ones who even reward you can't remember the name now.

I agree that not much merit seems to be handed out now compared to when the system was first put in place, this thread notwithstanding, but punishing people for not giving out merit is insane.

There is already a punishment laid out by the admins for merit hodlers. Its been stated that after a while, all unused merit will be decayed into the system.

You say punishment, but I would much rather my unspent merit decays to nothing than gets awarded to some shitposter.

Quote from: dothebeats on April 21, 2018, 07:55:17 AM

Instead of ranting about the merit holders not awarding merits, why not strive harder to receive a well-deserved one?

Because that's difficult. Much easier just to create yet another topic bitching and moaning about merit and hope there someone who is as big an idiot as you are who will merit your bitching and moaning.

I have over 200 sMerits available, and rarely do I award merit to posts. Most of the time I encounter good and informative post only to find out that it's a rehash of an article or just a copy-pasted one. Anyways though, AFAIK sMerits that aren't awarded for some time would just be gone, and I'm cool with that, and I think it's already a 'punishment' of some form.

I'm one of the guys with Smerits to award. Please note the use of the word 'award' and not the word 'give'. I take the fact that the community has given me merits to award seriously, and I don't think they should be sprayed around for newbie spammers to earn more money from their activities which are damaging Bitcoin Talk.

Instead of saying 'lets punish people who don't award sMerits' lets turn it around and say 'lets punish the people who make it hard for responsible members to award merits'.

I have really little time to do some posting on this forum, so I'm trying to use my time to create useful posts, and meanwhile, sometimes if I find a post that deserves a merit, I give merit. If I don't have time to search for posts, to spend my sMerits, I can't give out those sMerits, because I won't give out merits randomly, especially for newbies...
So if you think I deserve a punishment, give it to me baby

What kind of punishment do you think will be really efficient for these kind of people, who don't have time?
E.g. sMerits, which has not been given out for more than 2 months, will be deleted? Fine for me, but is this fine for you? If my sMerits will decrease, I will think twice before I will spend the remaining precious ones, so there's even smaller chance that I'll give it to a newbie like you. Think it over again...

I am new to this bitcointalk and my friend told me to study about this thing, and after reading some informative details, ive came across about giving merits. Well merits are given to those users who are actively helping the community, not asking for merits or trying to be merited, thats what i understand in this thing.

One thing is merits are given freely to those who are deserving to be merited.

Because of people like you, I wish I had a 'destroy sMerit' option. You and people like you do not deserve to be here, let alone get any of my (or other peoples') points.

The forum is place for generous, kind-hearted members; not for spammers, merit beggars, merit farmers, and account farmers.
Merit system is powerful supplemental tool to help us build such a forum for all of us.

Personally I believe you should be punished for making this thread, either a forum ban or you should be raped by a goat. See just as reasonable as this stupid thread

It's a lot of work hunting round to find posts to reward. Many of us have quite busy lives, and we visit the forum for relaxation and the exchange of information and help. There are so many necro-bumps, repeated posts and rehashed quotes, that it is quite difficult to find meritable posts. One often ends up putting more people on ignore, than members to reward. When one does find a thread that has potential, it is usually filled with repeated quotes of the same long post . If you guys want to receive merits, then stop clogging the threads with rubbish, so that we can see the posts that are worth rewarding.

Punishing sMerit holders is one of the stupidest suggestions. All they will do is to give the lot to Satoshi, or some other historic figure, and then when they do happen to spot a post that they like, they won't have any merit to award.

You are so imposed on milking out the sMerits of people that you made two threads regarding the same concern:
This thread and this one (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/decaying-smerit-should-be-impose-3220858) Roll Eyes

Theymos made it clear that sMerits unused will be decaying after sometime. This will solve the probable issue that "some high ranked member might try to rank up their alt-account" - however that does not mean members are going to distribute sMerits at random to newbie shitposters who dont read the rules and spam threads like nutjobs and dipshits.

Its easy to blame the system for the problems that you face, while the only problem in the system is you.

No. Why should people be forced to give them out if they don't want to? This seems to me like how certain countries 'force' people by law to vote. All it will do is make people give them to posts that likely don't deserve it just to avoid 'punishment'. Also, what punishments are you suggesting exactly and what if users just become active for x amount of time? People should be free to do what they wan't with their merit, but if theymos wants to make it decay after x amount of time I wouldn't be against that but don't think it's necessary.
