If I had to distribute sMerits in accordance to a pre-set criteria based on Rank or else, then I’d probably stepdown from being a Merit Source.

I didn't reason it from this angle before. Like the idea will limit freedom and make merit source of a thing look like a regular job according to fillippone. Also from Ratimov statement, I am surprised how people write codes to be making posts. Wi their posts be connected or readable to gain merits?
No wonder the last time I checked the generous user's thread you dropped deep down.

Overall I am comfortable with this forum system. And maybe for now I don't really expect anything to be added or nothing to be changed for now in this forum. But the ideas that have been put forward by some users do look interesting. But I prefer this forum to maintain the existing system and keep the simplicity that this forum has made me comfortable. even at this age I easily understand this forum.

If I had to distribute sMerits in accordance to a pre-set criteria based on Rank or else, then I’d probably stepdown from being a Merit Source. The idea is to merit what you find interesting at your own free will and time. Most Merit Sources will award sMerits regardless of the recipient’s Rank, and even take a kinder eye to lower Ranks to a certain degree.

There are always bound to be good post that go unmerited, even for those that earn them frequently (check column %MeritedPosts some cases here for example). What shouldn’t happen too frequently is for someone who consistently makes good post to go unmerited. If so, these are cases to bring forward.

Note 1: Rather than delimit the way how people decide to award their sMerits, I’d always vouch for, were it the case, having more Merit Sources to introduce additional diversity in criteria.

Note 2: This doesn’t mean that I find ranking-up numbers particularly great at all. Quite the opposite for the mid-to-high ranks in fact.

Only the value of the post should be taken into account, everything else is not important and should not be taken into account when sending the merit.

Totally agree! Merits must be given for the quality or information contained in the post. It doesn't matter if the user is legendary or newbie, what matters is the posted content.

To see merit circulate very well in the forum. There are good posts that go unmerited.
If merit sources are assigned to boards of assigned to ranks preferably it will be nice to spread merits.

I'm not on board with this idea. As Ratimov said, when it comes to sending merit, the only thing that should be considered is the quality of the post and the poster's contribution to the community, everything else is irrelevant and should be disregarded. Let's keep the process as simple as possible.

For example;
The Sceptical Chymist, 50% of your smerits allocation should go to Hero members.
Ratimov, 50% of your smerits should go to Newbies to member rank
fillippone, 50% of your smerits should go to full members to snr members
DdmrDdmr, 50% of your smerits should go to legendary members. Etc

Very bad idea.
A top down request of such is totally against the bottom-up approach of merit system.
Merit find way to good posts, eventually.

Also, close scrutiny where a merit source allocates his merits make it similar to a job, which is not the case.

Leave no FUD unchallenged

Next to the 'Ignore' button, it would be cool if it showed how many DT1 and DT2 users have that particular user on ignore.

Since the trust system wasn't designed to regulate spammers and trolls, this might be a good alternative.

I know it has been mentioned before, but I would like to see the forum including a small minimalist widget with the price of Bitcoin on live.
It does not have to be complex, just show the price with a reasonable refreshment rate and the change in the last 24 hours (if possible).

This is the forum of Satoshi and the crib of Bitcoin after all, it sound appropriate. However, I would understand if it was too difficult to implement with the current forum software.

Thinking out of the box: how about a new rank for only the users who make the Top N in both Activity and Merit? That way you'll lose that rank again when someone else takes your place in the Top N.

Right now, who is that member with top activity and merit?, is it you?🤣
Like who is the richest man on earth type of categorizing.

Now think N=200 or something, so it's a large group of people.

The question in my view is, what was the probability of this top changing over time.
This is because users with more years and more activity, already have a high number of activity and perhaps merits. So it would be difficult for us to see this top change if these users continue more or less at the same pace.

Or did you have an idea in mind, for this top to have a higher turnover or probability of different users coming in?

Exactly, adding new rank would just pave wave for wanting newer rank in future. I'd rather get behind similar idea where member has to earn number of activity+merit to keep retaining that rank.

I would like to see more ranks added to the forum rather than just the legendary rank. It feels strange to ask for that when I'm not even close to achieving it. It will only lengthen the time it takes me to get there.
I like the forum the way it is, but if there is anything that could be improved, I would appreciate it being added to the forum's overall use and experience. But for now, I want the forum to remain lively and educative for many years to come as the way it is currently.

Additionally, every time you make a comment when reporting a post, it is saved so all you have to do to get an option is to enter first letter of your report in order to get all of them. So for example, if you reported post by writing "Low value post", next time all you have to do is enter "l" in the comment section and it will offer you that, and all other comments that start with "L". It makes a difference when you are mass reporting, trust me.

This only happens if you've got the option for forms, and fields to be saved. I'm personally disabled that; however I do believe most browsers ship with this by default, and it might not be changeable in the settings, but rather through editing the JSON policies of that browser. I'm only familiar with Firefox, so I don't know the process of other browsers. However, I've heavily modified the policies of Firefox, and that's one of the options I did disable. Firefox might have this option accessible in the settings though, if I remember correctly so it's quite possible some users have disabled this.

I think there should be some pop-up option for categories in a report. Those options should be defining the state of the report, and the member reporting would have to select the option that describes what the report is all about before submitting.

There is already something relatively similar but not as part of the forum and instead as a browser extension, suchmoons's One-click mod report, not for the faint of heart .

My wish is to call it Legend.

Legends are people who keep extraordinary remarks, and when I think of them, LoyceV always comes to my mind. There are a lot of legends on this forum. But there are also legendary memebers who cannot be called legends, but if that requested feature of adding legend rank is included, possibly all legendary ranks will become legends. If that rank is to be added, it should be based on merit > 30,000 and 7 green stars instead of the normal yellow 🟡🟡

Notification menu I don't mean it to be like a social media notification alert or anything. If anyone quotes me in their reply, the notification menu bar will show a simple number or sign just like the message menu.

I agree with this suggestion if it can also be included. A notification to all members when they are being quoted in a thread.

Many suggestions have been thrown on this thread from different users which are mostly welcome developments that will make the forum more better for all of us to use.
My biggest change in the forum is to increase its security, there’s no point of us all being here if the security of the forum can be breached. I didn’t hear or have seen that the forum security have been breached before, or maybe in the past that I haven’t come across before. But improved security will be good for the forum. Technology is advancing and new innovations are coming out every time. I don’t know if there’s any better security features, but if there’s, it should be added to the forum for the future of the forum for us all.

I would like to see that you can add a profile picture before becoming a full member.

Just sad to see the empty box. It's not see easy to collect merit when you are not around the most merited topics.

Just my thought . Grin
