Topic: [TOP-200] The most generous users giving merits - page 27. (Read 38401 times)

Convincing enough
The question that come to my mind is how much smerit a source could give in a row/repetitively without receiving (silly) remarks?

They can send more merits per post, which is what theymos has been saying all along. Perhaps they can ask to reduce the allocation if that puts too much pressure on them.

There is no hard criteria for a "good" post. Whatever you don't mind seeing on this forum is worth a merit I think.

The best solution to all merit problems is by increasing sources number and by decreasing the allocated smerit for each of them.
Some sources have a lot of smerit and they struggle to find the best posts to reward, which may be frustrating, and which could be the case for QA?
For me, this is the main reason that let me prefer to stay away from this hassle.

QuestionAuthority was last online more than 2 days ago, before theymos posted in the thread in which I mentioned QuestionAuthority's 5x 30 Merit "giveaway". Theymos didn't respond to my post, but I guess he saw it.
This was posted the next day (yesterday):

Theymos says this about it:

It's possible that QA (if it's QA) asked to be removed. I doubt theymos would share the details though.

I did see that "quickie" merit give away happen from QA on the WO thread within a short time of it happening, and even though I thought that such giveaway was a bit random, I would NOT have thought that by itself such random give away would have risen to the level of removing merit source status.

Of course, there is a certain level of full and complete discretion that an owner (such as theymos) has regarding merit source status - meaning that he does NOT even really need a reason to change or remove such status.... hahahahahaha.... but anyhow, assuming that the merit source removal was QA, unless theymos shared his rationale, none of us would really know if there may have been a multitude of factors (besides just the seemingly random WO thread give away), and the one incident (or handful of incidents that we might be able to identify) would have merely served as marginal facts (the straw that broke the camel's back type) to push theymos into such a merit source removal decision (again assuming that it was QA).

By the way, regarding the level of source merit status, I would have thought that theymos would engage in a bit of a predetermination about granting such high level of smerit sources to any member (such as prescreening) for a member who has a really high amount of smerits to distribute (such as 1000 every 30 days) because it can be quite a bit of work and seeming responsibility to be able to attempt to fairly distribute that many smerits every 30 days.  

Just on a personal level, sometimes I just error on the side of giving smerits that I am thinking that the member or the post might not really deserve the smerit, but the post and the member is kind of the "best thing that I see at the moment," so I just send the smerit.. which ends up rising to the level of a charity merit or could be kind of considered as a random smerit give away.... so even a random distribution, such as the one that QA did does seem to go a step or two further than  my kind of charity distribution of smerit, it does not even seem like a bad thing to engage in some randomness, once in a while - but I suppose such scale of randomness creates a worse impression if it is announced as a random smerit distribution and also that so many smerits end up being sent to some members who just happened to be in the right place at the right time... which then might cause other non-receiving members to feel a bit disgruntled about the whole seemingly random incident.

So, it appears theymos does care after all.

And it was a big one, 1000 sMerits worth - the total went down from 23045 to 22045:

I'm gonna guess it was QuestionAuthority.

Here's a piece of potential gossip.

It appears that within the past day or two, the number of merit sources has gone down from 120 to 119.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources

The tables have been updated again. Analysis spotted 2 new users.

tokeweed and eternalgloom are merit sources for sure.

I agree with you. suchmoon contributes to the forum evolve. His policy of merit distribution is evenly and just.

---

As I can see, now you gave merits to 113 unique profiles. Well done.

hmm, i never knew i was so generous. #134 with given merit to 107 users.

I have notice suchmoon, he is almost everywhere in the forum and i am not so surprised that he is the most generous merit giver, It got to show that he dedicates much time for the forum, because it's not easy to navigate through section of the forum and meriting some post. I will encourage to keep the good work. 

My three posts on the first page have been updated again. The analysis detected the new merit source: joniboini. I also published statistics for September 2018.

By the way, d5000 confirmed to be a merit source in a public post. Thanks to qwk for the info.

In addition, I know from this thread that tokeweed and Lutpin are merit sources too.

I will add them to the full list of merit sources if the analysis detects them calculating their indicator "Generosity".

This is a monthly statictics for September 2018 below.

My three posts on the first page have been updated again.

Flying Hellfish, chek2fire, hugeblack are new detected merit sources. The last two members are active mostly in the arabic local board.

By the way, it is quite weird that the former (?) merit source stingers significantly increased his indicator "Generosity" this week.

I have an article about the most generous in September
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45954555

Weekly update.

The analysis spotted 12 new merit sources:
1. Hueristic
2. Buchi-88
3. hilariousandco
4. mhanbostanci
5. The Pharmacist
6. krogothmanhattan
7. sabotag3x
8. marlboroza
9. TimeTeller
10. baba0000000000
11. pandukelana2712
12. Husna QA


Best wishes to all the merit sources and:

My three tables on the first page have been updated again. Analysis hasn't spotted a new merit source. Now Vod is in the 6th place of this TOP, and I guess that he will be rated 5th next week.

In addition, I will mark the currently red tagged members in italic.
