i think its a good system. i read today the first posting about it in the meta section. i wonder why so many people are so angry about the new system. the system is new and only time will tell if the system works good or not. my question is can a normal user of this forum apply as a merit source?
Topic: Thoughts on the new merit system? - page 6. (Read 984 times)
It was not unfair just consider it as a new challenge to improve your post. Because most of the users in bitcointalk are joining because they just want to earn money. This principle's can't consider of this sites they do this merit systems to see how people level up their quality of post.
It's not true: there is not enough merits to disposition: as member, I've just ONE to give. Then, stop. Oh, and I've to receive TWO to give ONE.
So, merits will disappear in short time (the mining proposed can't compensate).
So, even you write masterworks, no one will have merits to offers.
I'm pretty sure the system will change; because it doesn't make other sense than to give unfair privileges to old members.
This system is very unfair, it highly favors the older users. A lot of these higher rank users ranked up by posting short messages. It's exponetially harder to level up now, most people won't even bother t osend out merit. Then you throw in the fact that people are going t osell merit and corrupt the whole system.
I agree with you, this new system cannot be justified, it will only benefit the old members that are already enjoying high ranks without the need for merit.
I totally agree; There is no way for me to achieve the next position of Full Member (I'd need 90 merit...), not talking about higher positions.
Of course, only legendaries are happy with this new system, so they can make high rewarding campaign, keeping away the concurrence.
(please note the most of them are pure shitposters, chek their posts...).
The only hope is that Theymos will understand that the system is unsustainable also from a mathematical point of view: merits after some time will disappear, so...no more merits at all.
We'll see.

Looks like this new system will make it almost impossible for new members to reach higher ranks, sounds like a monopoly by the typical beaurocracy to stop the public from getting its rights, we are fedup of our governments and systems in our lives already and now we are refused freedom in the online world in this forum as well, we have been deprived of our rightful ranks, it is time to speak up against this brutal new system. There were many other options to stop spam and shitposts, just minus the activity point per spam or shitposts, and if someone post more than 3 spam or shitposts per week then he can be suspended from posting for next week. But implementing a stopping system is against democracy and freedom of the forum members, i personally want this system to be removed and restore the old system.

Hmm , It is not effecting me a lot.
But I don't think it's a good thing. But we will see how it will go.

This is certainly great,thus reduce the amount of spam. But while it is almost impossible to get a new rank. When merit has just appeared , I was on one of the threads asked the question,asked to explain me the situation and what me to do(I was then lowered in rank and on the same day returned it)I was even accused that I beg some merit for me 
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.
What are your thoughts, do you like the new merit system?
I don't like. Because don't understand how i can get Merit if i am a beginner and can't write posts of high quality.What are your thoughts, do you like the new merit system?

You get Merit when you write quality posts. Someone appreciate your post and give you merit point. The bottom line is if you write spam no one will ever give you Merit, but if you write good quality posts, that help other members, they will give you Merit and you will up rank.

i really like this new merit system, because it is not easy to rank-up with a shitpost, one-liner, like what we are witnessing before. for me this is a another challenge to us to earn merit with a high quality posts, but if you dont do any quality post you are still remain at your current rank. this is to avoid/less/moderate more spam to all member rank and higher to create many alts with a low quality posts, spam, just to rank up and to earn on what activity he/she participate.
From my point of view, this is a very convenient system for cleaning our favorite forum from spam, because most branches are simply impossible to read, and in general branches are created that clone themselves. What for? I think that Merit will help us deal with this.
The intentions are very good, but the realization is crazy: there are very few merits in circulation, and they will disappear with the use.
The mining proposed is totally insufficient.
The result will be that even if you write a masterwork, nobody will give you any credit, for the simple reason that they have nothing to give.
And you can bet that will start an interesting commerce of merits...

From one side it may decrease spam, but I don't know how to collect so much merits). Not much people want to give away them for free. What are your thoughts, do you like the new merit system?
Unambiguously get the rank higher now it will become very difficult. Criteria for the quality of posts who will determine? Hero Member, who say that it is not necessary to write about this here, why did they come here? How do you consider all posts in this thread qualitative? High ranks, I wonder when you were new, did you have all the posts full of informative information? How many people, so many opinions. I agree with the previous author, the centralization of power does not give good results.
Funny thing, 80% of information on Bitcointalk is bullshit, or spam to develop somehow. It is not good or bad, it is the way the world works 
Forum, which is so huge and profitable couldn't work in another way. I think old system was not so bad, to get a member. I have been writing bullshit for about 4 month, and during that time in crypto I started to gain profits, filter information better and produce better information. So, bullshit that is produced by the guy with experience is more valuable, and everybody understands that. I wouldn't be surprised if no one reads this, this is bit.talk 
Sorry for issues in language, I am not a native speaker.

It is a positive attempt to encourage better responses, and discourage spam. Some posts just compel you to praise, for the content, the words and points put across simply and concisely. Here the merit system works because we can give deserving merit there.
There is a Bounty in which newbies can participate too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2851362.new#new
And they generously give Merit to active participants in the branch
