Topic: Thoughts on the new merit system? - page 2. (Read 997 times)
The thing is, noone is using it, and noone will be using it. There is no motivation for me to give a merit to someone.. This way, nobody will be able to rank up. It's ridiculous to think that this will ever work. I will never be able to gather 110 merit to rank up.. there is no way. There must be another way.
I'm not too sure about this new merit system. Although these boards have been getting a lot more spam, it will be much more difficult to level up your bitcointalk account. Most people are not even going to bother and give out merit to quality posts.

Honestly, I don't like a merit system because for me it looks like unfair to me. Supposed to be I'm gonna be a full member but due to my job is so busy I standby this account for a while. Now, It looks like my chance to be a rank of full member is never gonna happen that I need 90 more merits in order to rank up.
Well, I understand having a merit points to avoid those pow quality posters as well as spammers people here. Also, as I observed the merit system is in favor for those high rank that they can easily give merit to those people they know even the post is not so good as a quality post and even how good and even how quality post you have, I don't think there is some will give you. So for me merit is not a good idea at all. Just my opinion.

I think merit system is one solution that they are trying to implement because there are a lot of scammers now. People posting non-sense in on the decline now because you are now aware that garbage posting is not allowed in this forum. Although i maybe affected because ranking-up would now be difficult but still i support this move by the administrator. What are your thoughts, do you like the new merit system?
A nice move to get rid of the fake accounts but it's absolutely skimp.Some people who would jump the rank were victims of this situation.Could be given merit according to membership level.Obviously nobody gives merit to anyone easily.
This is a quality forum and managers will be able to solve this problem.

On the one hand, this idea is rational, because a lot of people have entered the forum in recent months. If they all began to raise ranks, the situation would not be very pleasant, especially in bounty campaigns. But on the other hand, to raise the rank now - almost impossible task. For example, I need ninety merits to get the next rank. Need I to create ninety useful themes for it?
I think, that the new merit system is real crap(
I believe,that the managers wanted to make something useful...But it's not good result(

I don't like the system, I think it needs a lot of improvements. Merits are given by people who have smerit, but nobody can make them give it to you even if you have written the best text in the world. I like the idea, but it is so raw and under worked.
It also bothers me that even if you are trying your best to really be careful in posting and making it a quality post, no one gives out merits so you are stuck in your current rank.
I personally don't like the new merit system. But I think that it also somewhat allows the moderator to prevent people who just spam or post comment without much sense. However, it affects everyone thus it's harder to rank up now.

My thoughts on this score are as follows. that now it will be very difficult to climb the ranks of those who sit on the forum for their pleasure and who have no friends. Soon people will stop placing merits just like that.
The new system will reduce spamming and more quality post will be posted on the forum.

The new merit system is a good idea and i agree with it. But for those who are new and just starting it so hard for them to rank up.they need to post an excellent topic just to earn merit. It so hard to rank up but thats ok to prove that you do hard work to rank up. What are your thoughts, do you like the new merit system?

It has been demonstrated in multiple forums and spaces (for example Steemit) that a system of stimuli or rewards based on likes, votes or "merits" is called to fail since the only ones that tend to earn points are the most popular members, and not necessarily those who work more or those who write quality content. And that's why people reward more someone who uploads a ridiculous video, while someone can make a great effort to write a true masterpiece and hardly pick up a point in his favor.
It seems that only Legendaires are happy with the new system, because the situation is frozen in their advantage.
I appreciate the intention, but the real problem is that merits are too scarce, and only a few people can give them.
For example, even if I read a good post, I can't give any merit.
And I understand that Members have just ONE merit to give, and Full Members just a few. The system can't work in this way.
I'm pretty sure that will be major changes in short time. At least, I hope.

I think it would be better if we had a demerit system.Having a normally constructed post is not necessarily sh*t post. Some of us do simplify our post so that more people can understand what are we trying to get across. Also, we have to consider that we are an international forum, not many of us can speak english fluently when trying to post outside of our local channels. This is due to the language barrier, so probably they are trying their best to join and contribute to the forum but are hindered by their proficiency in the language. In having a demerit system, we could set a certain number of reports we can do in one day, and also, there will be a certain number of demerits we can get to warn us of our posting quality.
What i think about the merit system is , now its difficult for us ordinary members here in bitcointalk to be given a merit without any help from a higher rank members and what we so called team of higher ranks. Posting and replying good is one of the key to get merit but it depends also in a user who will give that merit , many users here in bitcointalk problems this merit system.
Yes, I agree a bit with this merit rule. Merit does hinder a person for promotion. However, with the merit I think someone will be more thinking in making a post or thread, to be more useful for many people.
New merit system is real bullsh.t , because anyone wants to sell you their merits! WTH? I don't understand that system!
I think that the system needs improvements. High ranks will not give merits to the newcomers of the forum for good posts, it will already be unfair.
That's not true. I give merit to a good post. Doesn't have to be the most brilliant post ever made but I will give merit for a good post and I don't even look at what rank the person I give the merits to are.

It is totally unfair. You need to post on meta in able to get a merit but if you are posting in a regular thread, good luck to you even if your comments are helpful or quality post. Who ever suggest it is stupid because it will not solve the problem instead it will create another problem like selling their merit to be able to rank up their account.

merit system will just damage the image or the reputation of the forum and sooner or later. Someone will create a forum like this that has a better policy.
Yes exactly. It just creates more work for mods because it's just another thing to be abused and now they have to monitor it. I'm seeing people make good posts and not be rewarded. It's very disheartening. It's gonna be like steemit. Only the high ranks or a small group of people get merit and the rest get none just like steemit. A nonesense article that's ok quality gets high steemit rewards just because the owner owns a lot of steel tokens.
When i see this i was curious what is this new system
For what using this new system of bitcoin that was merit so someone who post according to merit thay was i realize that this is the perfect idea of the developer for those who taking advantage of bitcoin forum even short post it is also counted so that when i read this i am agree to avoid spammer and thos always taking advantage.

It's funny you should say that. You haven't been given a single merit points and neither have I. Most people haven't even got 1 and it's not because they don't post well it's because people don't care.
I agree with you, the main problem of the merit system is that the majority of people don't care to give merit to others because they don't get anything out of it and like for most things if people don't get rewarded they won't do it.
There are probably still a lot of people that don't even know that there is this new system.
Other than that I think and hope it's gonna kill most of the spam there is nowadays on the forum, it was getting out of hand and it was even a waste of time to read most threads because people were saying nonsense offtopic just to farm up their post count and rank up.
We just need to reconcile ourselves with this new system, work further and hope that in the future this will bring a lot of benefits to this forum and the whole community!
