If my instincts are correct, Vod is probably reassessing his commitment to bitcointalk and may be having a case of the "fuck its" right now. He already posted that he doesn't want to be on DT or a merit source anymore, and he might be dumping his sMerits as a means of relieving frustration, if you can understand that. Though Vod isn't voicing it, I think he's in a lot of turmoil right now. This forum obviously means a lot to him, and I say that based on posts he's made in the past. When you start detaching from something that's been near and dear to you for years, well...you can do strange things--actions sometimes speak louder than words, and it seems like Vod is doing this stuff in lieu of writing about whatever he's actually feeling.

You are a wise "drug dealer" my pharm friend, history will record you for being very wise as OG fell.

I feel now that I care more for the forum than the admin does, so I should prob step back.

WTF Vod, do you really think to resign as a merit source and DT, c'mon?

So you agree your words should not be believed? Most others believe that.

Why are you still showing the Livecoin banner?

It bums me out to keep seeing these topics. At first they were just annoying, but its getting pretty sad to see. I like Vod, Quickseller, and OgNasty, as well as the handful of others chiming in. Does anyone actually truly care that someone is sending a debatable amount of merits, or have you decided to make lifelong vendettas over stupid stuff that probably barely effects anyone?

If you haven't set fire to each other's houses or screwed each other's dog, is it really worth continuing bickering? It just makes the forum feel more gloomy and less unified. You all have better things to do than fight with each other online, so why keep wasting your own time? You don't need to get along, but knowing when to just ignore someone rather than expending 100 hours responding to a fired shot is a valuable skill. If you keep at it, I'm going to have to start hanging out with the spam bots to avoid pointless forum drama. Undecided

I care about the integrity of the system. Vods actions compromise that integrity.

Although I hadn’t seen it when I created this thread, Vod had asked to resign from being a merit source prior to my opening this thread. It appears, and others agree, that Vods actions are an attempt to get himself fired from being a merit source. This is instead of resigning gracefully.

How much is Livecoin paying? I wonder if I match that for Quicksy not to post - would he take it.

Quickscammer has been fired for posting lies constantly. This thread is another example of such.

So he is just showing the Livecoin banner and pretending he is being paid? sad. :/

He's still listed in the spreadsheet, so I don't think that's accurate.

It's accurate. Ignore the sheet.

I would rather see a merit source plunging their merits to a lot of people than a merit source who does not maximize their merit allocation. I don't even know why being generous is a problem here since at first all we yapping about is there isn't enough merits being circulated in the forum now we are complaining about merit sources being to generous with what they are sending. We shouldn't be too suspicious everytime we see an abnormal amount being sent by a merit source, they won't even be a merit source without theymos' approval in the first place.

If Vod would give 1 merit instead of 50 to people who support him, would it be OK?

What a shitstorm in recent days on Bitcointalk... Maybe some people involved need to take a short break and come back to forum with cool heads after few days. Just my 2 ~~cents~~ Satoshies

The question now is how to get those 50 merits, do I need to support him too lol because some of us truely need it. If I recall clearly there isn't a rule on amount of smerits to award to reply you feel contributed positively to a discussion i.e replies that aren't spam. We award merit based on our smerit capacity.

Honestly vod isn't giving merit for supporting himself i think. It doesn't matter if you feel that someones post worthy of having 50 merits or more. Because merits are for encouraging someone for quality works not for store. If you have plenty of merits then its not unfair to encourage someone by giving him as a reward which will obviously boost up his future contribution on forum.

Isn't it better to give it Someone rather than dry it? If a merit source haven't got enough time to spend his monthly allocation then if he send this to a user who will share it with others there's nothing wrong IMO. Because recipient will spend it on forum not in the moon.

In all seriousness. Vod, I never had any intention of leading you down this path you've taken. I'm truly sorry. I would have never offered to sponsor your project if I knew it would result in you throwing away a reputation you've tried so hard to maintain for so long. I really did try to save you from walking down this path, not once, but twice. Please take a step away from your computer. Go grab a beer and a sandwich, and watch some sports. Maybe make some jerky or some other man shit to get feeling good again. I even feel bad at this point. No honest person could support your behavior. I hope you understand that.

I disagree, my post was fucking funny and true, driving about the Costa del sol at 3am trying to find somewhere that sold some dodgy flavour of ice cream, yes that pissed me off, have you ever dealt with a pregnant woman having a craving for something? You jump up say yes my love then swear about them in the car for 30 mins whilst doing what they want. But you know qs Bill gator is even more annoying than that

Just for clarification,

Quote from: theymos on October 21, 2018, 10:28:55 AM

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.

If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.

I think Quickseller got your answer from here.
