Topic: [v2][Self Moderated] In Merits, Count Down To Your Next Rank... - page 10. (Read 23902 times)

but some users is not following this principle, some of them is applying to this thread for applying sack, I think is the high time to monitor applications of users that fail to follow this instruction, mostly members that have not gotten up nine [9] merits you see them applying for this thread even full members too, I don't even know if they don't use to read the content of the thread and also the terms and conditions of the thread if I'm not mistaken before they apply, I don't want to quote anybody in respect of these, before some of them will start saying that I don't nwant their growth, I like as you repost this terms and conditions so that they read and understand before applying.

The existing of merits is fine but the knowledge of it sometimes doesn’t bring out the best in you, especially once you start posting here. Seriously, I don’t think there isn’t any user who posts here and is this looking up to be ranked up that isn’t in expectation that you’ll archive that from this thread. If am to be any sincere with myself and the rest of you, I have these thoughts pop on my head once I ever applied here. After all, it saw other people ranked up!

This affects you in a way, I wouldn’t go for the word lazy but, you don’t have the same energy to go at it like you once did. I don’t like talking about the merit thing but, it’s a merit thread and you can’t really do without talking about it a bit. I think users with no idea of merits happens to have it rather easily because, you do you at all times, you don’t front it, you don’t pursue it. It was the case for me but, am close to the next rank and I feel I should have been there and that feeling distances it from me the more. Been trying not to let it eat up my approach towards the forum though.
Meanwhile, before I applied here, I tried reading the OP if there are any rules to some quota before application and didn’t find any. A little haphazard look around and users could just apply once they felt they are some worth close. Took my chances but should have waited I guess.

That’s why, I find the proposal by The Cryptovator very useful and would help to tame the thread if applied. It’s a good one and am in support.

@Fivestar4everMVP, I saw full members just applying when they crossed 75 merits. For full members, 25 merits is a big amount. If they get this rank easily, then they will be discouraged from contributing to the forum. They should earn at least 90% merit before applying here. Above Full Member 25 is fine; that is in your current rules. That's the reason sometimes I ignore full members. I don't want to let them be lazy. I believe merit limits would be different for each rank.

My advice is below. 
To apply here, applicants should have below-average merits according to ranks.

To Members: 9 Merits
To Full Members: 90 Merits
To Sr. Members: 225 Merits
To Hero Members: 450 merits 
To Legendary: 900 Merits

It's just my advice; maybe some +/- would be fine. 

It is his Smerits and he has the right to give to whoever meets up to his criteria. Maybe your post quality does not deserve his Smerits. Give more quality posts, and you might earn the rest merits without Cryptovator's assistance. What if he is short of Smerits, how will you know. He gives merits to all ranks that are worthy of his Smerits.

Hopefully I can get help to rank up

Thank you

Thank you, @Perfectbabay. I want you to know that Cryptovator doesn't forget anybody, and he doesn't focus only on senior members or hero members. I think Cryptovator has a procedure for helping users achieve their new ranks on this thread; maybe your account doesn't fit into Cryptovator's requirements. Last month, Cryptovator helped a member achieve a full member rank on this thread, so what you said about Cryptovator is not right. 

What you are saying is wrong @Cryptovator has always given merits to all ranks in this thread. He gave me merits when I made my first report here as a Jr. Member. He doesn't segregate, it could be that he hasn't come across your post, if he does come across your post and still has sMerits left he will give you. You just have exercise patience. But I want to correct the impression that he @Cryptovator only focus on Snr. Members and Hero members, that's wrong!!

Yes, I have achieved the senior member rank. Thank you for making it look easier. I didn't believe I would be a senior member this week, but you made that happen this week.

Congratulations bro.. seems we have been forgotten and we don't have the higher chance to get to the next rank, maybe The Cryptovator focused is only on Sr. Members and Hero members I just wished he gives me a romancing lift to the next rank.

I apologize I will delete it right now i read the rules but didn't understand.

Stop spamming here and read the thread again before applying.

@examplens this also makes me wonder if people just bump into a thread without going through the OP about the rules of a thread. People can just rank up without excessive congratulatory replies and announcements but it's just very obvious that people are so adamant  because I have witnessed several occasions in which you said about this congratulatory replies by both users who have achieved their next ranks and others that keeps spamming the thread after a user must have ranked up but yet they keep on to disregard your complaints.

Anyway I feel the OP might be too occupied with other responsibilities hence the reasons why he is not watching the activities of this thread but I hope he makes out time for this thread so that his motives of creating the thread will not be defeated.

You are really a generous giver because even those who are merits source still don't find it pleasing to be ranking people up to their next rank. I already applied for days now but seems my application was skipped maybe my post aren't much on english board rather local section and only those who reads and understand local post correctly that could give merits to post.

I am not a merit source, so I do not have a monthly quota of merit available. I can only give earned sMerit.
Frequent "congratulations" bump posts made me pay less attention to the thread and that is the biggest reason why I am less merit-active here. I already wrote about it earlier, but obviously, the need for congratulations is great, but I find it boring to read.

Finally I reached rank hero, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the people who have provided this very valuable assistance.
