I am going to lock this thread because of off topic discussion. My question was to theymos. However what Inunderstand, most of merit source are receiving low amount of smerit. So they can't spend more even they want unless they haven't received form others.

But it's true few merit source never care much about their smerit even it will decay or not. Theymos strongly encourage that spend your merit before refill date. Nevermind you didn't high quality post. Just send it on good post.

In my opinion, if a merit source can't spend enough merit before refill date then he should look on his previous merited post. Send merit into them again. It's better then decay. Theymos will not punish for that and he encourage for that. Or send to other active merit source or good poster so that they will spread over forum.

My suggestion is, please don't decay merit only for opinion  that you can't find good post according to you. That's not enough reason to decay merit. Just handover it to others who will not misuse.

But they don't have enough time to do that,since they are sticking with the drama threads on Meta and reputation sections. Cheesy

I spend time on Meta because there is a paucity of quality posting on the other boards ( in my opinion ). I've tried to stimulate them,butit seems that the regular members are spending their time on Meta, or spamming their bounties. Start some good discussions, and persuade us to spend time there.

Take it easy on merit sources...  You've got to read A LOT of posts on this forum in order to honestly merit hundreds of them.  Kudos to those who have been able to keep up a hog wild pace for more than a year now.

Well to get back on topic. The centre bearing on the prop shaft of my van is breaking up. It's a large high top, but it isn't a very difficult job. I'm not sure if my favourite garage will take on the job, and I was tempted to do it myself, but if I hit a problem then I can see the van ending up immobile.

So what has this to do with merit sources? I posted it to show that merit sources do have real lives with real problems, and these may lead to them having to take short term breaks from the forum. I'll make up for my possible absence by awarding a bunch of merits this afternoon.

Make sure you don’t give cryptohunter any Cheesy Wink

Of course not  he only cycles them to who he is told to cycle them too.  They are primarily the persons on the OP or they send to him.

He is too scared to give them to anyone that would attract scorn from his masters.

Or merit begging shit posting sig spammers like you.

Tells you to be nice to people whilst accusing you of having voices in your head and accuses you of being either a shitposter, scammer or  untrustworthy. Perhaps all 3.

Tells you keep your head down - then you don't need to worry

So... stop raising valid and observable issues else you will have to worry about the "supposed" mafia?

How about you shut up and remove your  betting sig -- that he correctly observed that most of the "mafia" are spamming everywhere whilst cycling merits. Red trusting anyone who dares present facts regarding their wrong doing/ their attempted bullying tactics.  

Also try to make some kind of post that is worth reading for you merits. I can not locate one original thought inspiring contribution from you or one major achievement that changed anything on this board for anyone else at all. In fact you are a complete waste of space as far as i can see.

In case of my local board, it is said that there are three Merit sources, but only one of them is sending Merit. He sent 42 sMerits (Jan 2019), 10 sMerits (December 2018), 10 sMerits (November 2018), 67 sMerits (October 2018), and the other two are zero. I do not know exactly who Merit sauces are, but perhaps I think they have not sent Merit in the last few months.

I think work of Merit source on our local board is very hard, because the number of posts on our board is quite small. For example, there are only 29 posts so far in February.

I award merits where I want to, and I don't award them just to empty my merit bag. ( although I keep it fairly low, and I have to use my personal sMerits to award the bonuses).  If it was decided that I didn't award merits fast enough, or I was punished because I had to stay away for some reason, then all it would achieve would be to deprive the posters that I would have awarded .

I think this would be counterproductive.

If the problem you are trying to address here is that there are not enough merits being given out by the merit sources (a proposition with which I disagree), then punishing them for taking a few days off and removing their source sMerits makes the problem worse rather than better. Sources are not rewarded for being sources or for handing out merits - removing their sMerit supply does not punish them, it only punishes the users who would be missing out on receiving said merits.

The thread is barely alive. Averagely there's less than a post reported everyday and only few users who submit report.
My bad, I didn't check it for a long time. In that case, sending all of their sMerit/source merit to an trusted active user would be good.
Theymos should make some criteria for the eligibility of being merit source. User have to be active one/two or three days in each period. Otheriwise, he will not get smerit for next period. It should be since theymos wants merit sources to spend their source merits.

IIRC, user d5000 used to get 10 source merits only. He told it in somewhere in Merit and New requirements thread, I was engaged with that post.
I am on the list just because I spent all of my sMerits couple of weeks ago in one day through the help of LoyceV's self moderated threads for quality posts. Usually I were used to spend 1/2 sMerits per post.
It's not a matter, some people don't have enough time to spend here. They are busy with real life works. Although, I think they should not be choosen as merit source, you have to also consider the fact that not everyone can be merit source because they may manipulate or engage with buy/sell merits.
In my opinion, since LoyceV has a good thread where members report some good posts, merit source who are busy with real life, can check that thread and spend merits on those post OR send all the sMerit to some active merit sources or active members like coolcryptovator (although I never got a merit from him just because of his false feeling, lol).

I'm pretty much there too. My source sMerits are gone within 24 hours of them being replenished. My personal sMerit stash is usually sitting around 5 to 10 depending on how active I've been/how many merits I've earned myself over the last week or so. I struggle to spend myself down to 0 - when I hit 2 or 3 I tend to not merit anything at all until I am replenished/earn more, just in case someone posts something absolutely amazing and I find myself out of sMerits.

As a member of bitcointalk i always tried my best to give smerits to someone who actually working for the forum. Yeah its really a matter of sorrow that when you find an amazing post and don't find any smerits left Cry

I beleive after the begining of merit system users are much connected and active with forum than ever. Its because earning merits is the only way to build your rank up here. Basically we can only send merits to someone when we will get it from anyone else. Its a complete circle system.

That's why who's are in the merit source list are really  important for continuing this smerits circle system. If we can't get merits from them than we will not be able to send it to others. So their activity matters a lot here IMO.

All you guys who are saying that most of the merits are coming from regular members, and not from the merit sources, should remember that without the merit sources awarding merits, the regular members wouldn't have any sMerits to award.

I used to check that list every week or so, just for the hell of it and for whatever reason I stopped--but it doesn't surprise me I'm not in the top 10.  That's actually a good thing, as I give out a lot of merits; it means there are some die-hard merit sources out there spreading the love.

How can it be used?

Saw the board under "Regional political discussions section" titled "Bitcoin and crypto in Africa" i feel it's a little bit restricting since the description says "The use of Bitcoin in Africa is increasing, use this board to discuss developments." maybe if you open the board to all Africa related discussion like political discussion, entertainment, blockchain and the rest the board will get some activeness. Right now it feels like the board should only be used to discuss "The Use of Bitcoin in Africa". Which will kind of reduce the level of discussion on the board.

It should be like a board where interested users can discussion everything related to africa not just the use of bitcoin in africa

If the inactive merit sources aren't fit for their job theymos should appoint serious minded ones i see numerous application on meta, people are out there who're ready to handle the job and do it perfectly

Maybe I should start another Fit to Talk English translation initiative. Maybe I'll do it for pidgin English, that should get a few members coo'ing.

Lets see how it goes. There are quite some untapped potential in Nigeria and africa in general.

My question was regarding rest 74 merit sources. Are their smerit allocation below 50? or are they not using allocated smerit?
Only theymos (or the individual sources themselves) could answer this. Even knowing the total number of merit sources (122) and source sMerit (20835 per 30 days), there are too many confounding factors (not knowing exactly who all the sources are, not knowing how many merits being sent are source sMerits or personal sMerits, etc). It would be impossible to work out what each source's individual allocation is and whether or not they are spending it.

As I've said though, theymos recently readjusted the allocations, so you can be fairly certain that if a source isn't spending their source sMerits, then they will be cut and the excess transferred to a source who is regularly running out.

I’ve just checked if I could spot a Merit Source on a given Local board with a low amount of sMerits (by checking on the Merit Dashboard the biggest Meriters on that local board over the last few months vs received sMerit, and then looking at their sMerit distribution on a monthly basis).

The source I found distributed over the last few months (not only on his local board): 13 sMerits (Jan 2019), 49 sMerits (December 2018), 10 sMerits (November 2018), 59 sMerits (October 2018), and so on.

The Merit Source in question therefore may not have that much of an allowance (60 per 30 days at best), merits primarily his local board (97,01% of awarded sMerit), and may not find enough meritable posts on his local board to empty his allowance every month. I've spotted other merit sources in the lower 2 digits, and recall 25 being a starting point for a specific one.

Some merit sources receive very few sMerits to send, some receive less than 30. Theymos made it clear that he would like to have fonts for specific locations like local boards. And some Merit sources only actively participate in these sections so they get few merits.

Most of these users who send a lot of sMerits participate much more in sections that already have many sources of merits. And that already has a good flow of Merits. Meta, WO, Investigations are sections where good Topics are always rewarded with enough Merits.

without the merit sources awarding merits, the regular members wouldn't have any sMerits to award.
It's true, and that's the reason why theymos added merit source. If there is no merit source they merit system will decay automatically. Seems you are also on the list, means you are using your smerit properly. My question was regarding rest 74 merit sources. Are their smerit allocation below 50? or are they not using allocated smerit? If they are from local board and unable to find good post it doesn't mean they can't use their smerit outside of local board. Theymos always encourage spend your smerit before refill date. @tactac already mentioned quote.

@Findingnemo what Jet Cash is saying is the following.
If there was no merit source to allocate merits to Users 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... then Users 4,7,8 for example wouldn't have any merits to send to those top merit senders. You see, a member could receive merits from users who aren't merit sources but those merits originated from somewhere and most probably they came from a merit source sometimes in the past.

But how a member can be at top merit sender when they are not merit sources if they were awarded merits with the merit sources.

I think we are talking about the merit sources who didn't distribute their allocated merits so it is possible to have merits which came from merit sources.

Theymos prefers Merit sources to empty their source. He said (and I'm not going to find back the quote): if you find only a few posts worth meriting in a month, give them everything so they can redistribute sMerit again.

I think that this is the original post.

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.

 I personally agree with this idea. I think that active circulation of Merit is important for the activation of the forum and each local board.

I don't know about monthly allocations but I don't think it will be less than a hundred.
You are wrong, it's less than hundreds. In fact, many of the members who were added after the modification of the merit system "new restrictions on Jraccounts[1]" came with relatively low merits.
Initial merit sources had about 200 to 400 merits so few of all merit sources could generate those sMerits.


Imagine that you are local board merit source, and your board does not have really high activity, you don't need more than 10-20 per month.
Maybe that's why. Many new members are merit sources of for local boards.

Well I don't think there are many posts that ever should have received 50. I do remember reading theymos's view that he would like to see the allocations spent. I disagree with emptying the sac for the sake of emptying it. If this is done it would always seem that we need more merit, as opposed to finding a happy balance.

I merited many posts at the beginning of January, so those sMerits were all replenished at once recently, and currently I have a hard time emptying my source again. On top of that, my "personal" sMerit pile is higher than ever.

Everyone here arguing that they may not have much sMerits to send but we need to accept the fact they were not spending most of their monthly allowances to merit the forum members
When theymos last created some new merit sources, some sources who were regularly exhausting their supply were handed a 2x or even 3x increase in their source merit allocation. However, the total number of source merits stayed pretty much the same, so a number of sources who weren't spending all their source merits must have had their supply cut significantly in order to compensate.

Only theymos knows the exact distribution, but I suspect the number of sources with a relatively small allocation is higher than we think.

- cant' find the good quality post to merit them
- not enough time to read the most

I don't think merit sources are rewarded with any incentives for this dedicated job but they take it as high responsibility to spend their merit allowance even if they find less worthy posts to merit,just complete your quota with it.

I think theymos also wanted to spend their merit allowances by giving more merits in number with the posts they were finding.

Imagine that you are local board merit source, and your board does not have really high activity, you don't need more than 10-20 per month.
It is really possible to have sources with 10-20 source merit per month.
No need to have 100s if you cannot spend it.

In addition some people (MS) are not so active and cannot empty their monthly merit quota.
There are more active users receiving and sending merit that some of the merit sources, so don't be surprise if you cannot spot them all with a naked eye Wink

I don't know about monthly allocations but I don't think it will be less then hundred.

My question will be wrong if monthly allocations below 50 smerit for this 74 users.

Indeed, you are wrong. Some merit sources have only few smerits per month that can be counted on the fingers of the hands (and maybe feet too).

Well I'm doing my bit - I've got fewer than 200 sMerits to award for a change.

Maybe I should start another Fit to Talk English translation initiative. Maybe I'll do it for pidgin English, that should get a few members coo'ing.

Its seems like that commander of whole troops is missing during war Cheesy. Really concerning dude. Its not a small number who are missing here on the merit source list. I wish they will be much active soon.

Spending time on bitcointalk isn't the only responsibility  they got. Their smerit means a lot to new members of the forum  Yeah its true if any of them remove from the list thats  not gonna hurt their reputation but open a new door for active merit sources.

Some merit sources have a monthly allowance in the low double figures. If they are earning no merit of their own then they could well have less to give out per month than you do from what you have earned.

I'm sure this doesn't explain all the sources who don't appear in that list, but it's certainly a factor.

Currently we have 122 merit sources. So usually top 50 Most generous recent merit senders should be from this 122 merit source

Not all merit sources have the same amount. It may be a reasonable conclusion that at times there will be non merit sources on that list. This is especially true if say a user has earned a large amount of merit recently or over time and had not distributed it. If they then set it all or most of it loose in a 30 day period they could easily crack the list.

But as far as I know there 2 user is non merit source, S_Therapist & Coolcryptovator. Both users isn't merit source.

Had to have a chuckle at the 3rd person. Steamtyme was amused.

The number of smerits allocated to merit sources is not public, and I guess some could exhaust their entire pool but would not still make it to the list.
Although, merit sources should endeavour to send all available merits, especially as it was recently increased at the request of a source.

We would have to consider the data of a longer period to really determine the amount of neglect, theymos can then take action.
There is of course nothing to lose in being removed from the source list.

Currently we have 122 merit sources. So usually top 50 Most generous recent merit senders should be from this 122 merit source because they have extra smerit allocations from admin. But just now I have visited
Most generous recent merit senders and 21180 merit was sent in the last 30 days. It's fine,  but in my opinions there should be all merit sources on the list. But as far as I know there 2 user is non merit source, S_Therapist & Coolcryptovator. Both users isn't merit source. I think there is more none merit source users but above 2 is sure none merit source.


 

Just imagine, there is 48 merit source and 2 none merit source on the list. Then question is, where is rest 74 merit source ? I don't know about monthly allocations but I don't think it will be less then hundred. Because  122 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 20835 sMerit per 30 days. Are they not spending their monthly allowance?

At least merit source shouldn't decay his smerit allocations. They have spend few time on this forum for spend their smerit and it's their responsibility.

My question will be wrong if monthly allocations below 50 smerit for this 74 users.
