Topic: Unofficial merit source application thread - page 2. (Read 1591 times)
Hi MadZ,
I'd like to be considered as a Merit Source.
I compiled a thread (a few weeks back) with very helpful posts (that start threads) that are particularly positioned for Newbies and Beginners. If part of the merit system is meant to up-skill the posts of lower ranked members, we should reward the people who are helping to educate this young set of the member community.
You can find my list HERE, titled "Be a Merit Robinhood - merit worthy threads from Beginners & Help board."
If I were granted Merit Source status I could focus my involvement on the Beginners & Help board to reward those that are helping build the right activity we want to see on this forum.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I've updated the OP with yours and some other applications, sorry for missing it the first time. Best of luck, I think a Merit Source in those boards is sorely needed.

Updated through today as far as I can tell. I am not sure if users have posted applications in local sub-forums, but if you know of any, please link them for me 
Updated! Thanks for posting it here, much easier for me to add.
Also, thank you theymos for indicating which ones have been looked that, I'm sure people appreciate it.

Congrats, don't spend it all in one place
I made the cut, go me. I’ll be handing out Smerit points fairly & for constructive, helpful posts only.

Thanks buddy & see bold - He has added others who didn’t apply. I guess they’ll be highly respected, long term posters, he didn’t disclose their names to us.

You should paint the people that are red tagged appropriately in that table using [color=red ].
I will consider adding that in the future. I don't think red trust necessarily disqualifies someone from being a merit source, and I'm sure theymos or whoever chooses takes it into account already. I might also add a note for accounts that have sent a suspiciously large amount of merit to individuals for no obvious reason. That being said, I'm pretty sure that's also already being looked at when choosing.
Haven't you been proofen to be a scammer for extortion?
Ohh a scammer who is abusing also the merit.You talk from your own experience

Not too long ago, you yourself had red trust. There are other users, such as TMAN, who have red trust, yet would make fine merit sources in my opinion. Obviously, the vast majority of users who have negative trust would be terrible choices, my point was simply that red trust does not necessarily equate to being a scammer in some cases.
My main reason for not tagging people with red trust is because theymos has explicitly stated the merit system was released with the intention of putting an end to the trend of giving people negative trust for being shitty posters.
That's partially why I sped up work on merit. I don't agree with using the trust system for pure spam; that's not what it was designed for.
Whether you or I agree with this or not, I am trying to interfere with the selection process as little as possible. Do you really think any of the sig spammers who have been tagged actually have a shot of getting accepted anyway? I highly doubt it.

Nevermind, I took the "N/A" as a No for some reason.
Obviously, those who are accepted will know, but I think it's also fair to inform those who were not accepted that they will need to re-apply. Interestingly enough, theymos merited a few of the application posts, which I assume means acceptance.

I just applied for the merit source for our local thread.

Should people find this thread useful, I would be happy to keep the OP updated with a list of applications, including member name, date, and link to their application in order to help organize the process. Also, I understand there is no public list of merit sources, but I think it might help to at least indicate when an application has been "processed", without specifying whether this means acceptance or denial. Let me know what you guys think of this idea.

Merit sources
There are 49 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 9925 sMerit per 30 days
since there is no official answer or public announcement from theymos for who the 49 merit sources are There are 49 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 9925 sMerit per 30 days
I suggest it's better to have another thread with title an Unofficial Merit Sources
though I am not sure what contribution would that thread have except exposing them
give it a month or two, we can figure out who's who the merit sources are
should be something like merit send > (merit received *2) ,
sending a lot more merits than receiving should be the cue of his/her merit source status
The Joel_Jantsen thread was technically a nomination for someone else, not sure it should really count as a submission... but if it somehow is, it would be for DannyHamilton.
DannyHamilton is one of the best posters on the entire forum, very trustworthy & very knowledgable. He’s personally helped me with a few things (re: bitcoin) over the years.
I would 100% be an advocate for him.
