What rewards you get when you like your Facebook friend's post?

Edit

The merit system is same as Facebook like system. Here you show the OP with merits that you likes his post.

Hmm not sure if we should look at it in the same way.

1. You can like as much as you want on Facebook without limits(probably until you get hit by the spam filter).
2. You can like even the crappy posts on Facebook as long as it's hilarious or something.
3. With the merit system, you don't necessarily need to want or "like" the post, the post being high-quality might suffice(completely depending on the post itself). Probably even if you disagree with the post.
4. You can recklessly like as much as you want on Facebook but you need to be more responsible and a bit more "picky" when giving out merits.

I didn't mean it exactly like Facebook like system, I gave OP a layman overview so he can get the gist of the merit system.

Implementing a reward system will reduce the quality as more members will merit post just to achieve rewards. The current concept which is in practice is working as it has improved the quality of post.

It would be nice if a Merit system can be added for those who are reporting spam content in the forum. This will drastically reduce spam post by a significant amount. I know it is increase the pressure on moderators a lot but it will help the forum in the long run.

I think that people who are reporting spam content in the forum don't need to worry about merits.
I see that each spam report get a lot merits.
Personally, I'm always happy to give merits for constructive and good quality posts and don't expect any reward.

Absolutely not. A property tax on unsent merits would make more sense.

As for rewards... many nice things have been mentioned earlier in the thread but they're mostly false. There is no reward, literal or figurative. It's mostly dealing with beggars, whiners about too few or too many merits sent, accusations of favoritism, accusations of corrupting the trust system or signature campaigns or some such bullshit, and huge amounts of eye-bleeding spam to read. It's like working one of those soul-crushing jobs - e.g. a kindergarten teacher with extremely spoiled rich brats - you gotta have an irrational attachment to it because no amount of "reward" can ever match it.

Well, the secret merit source club with blow and hookers helps to endure it but I'm not supposed to talk about that.

Am now getting clarified, but still concerned over how you guys still managed to replenish your Merits which I also have the idea that you will also have to make a quality post some where some how. Which am also using this medium to say a big thank for meriting mine.

Actually There Is No Reward For Giving Out Merits To Quality Posters. Many Forum Users Here Gives Out Merit For Well structured And Arranged Post, Interesting And Impacts To Bitcoinist.

I Have Seen Many Members Of About 450 Activities But Zero Merit. Does It Really Mean The Posters Hasn't Written A Bettter And Quality Post In The Forum Before? Such Case Should
Be Helped By The Higher Rank Forum So Members Can Give A Deep Hieve Of Relief. Sheeeeeeeh

Merits are given to the people who deserve because they have good quality content or post, but how about to the people giving the merit do they receive rewards? absolutely in the other perspective, they don't receive anything but somehow I think in personal aspect it gives a lot of pleasure if you help other people giving what they deserve and also at the same time you are helping them to achieve a rank up and reach the rank what they want. If you see the person you give your merit and you see them keep making an improvement its look like a reward. Also, they create the merit system at the same time to avoid getting too much spam and just given to the people who contribute a lot to our forum.

Now am glad to pick out this statement:

definitely seeing other people succeed is a thing of joy to be happy that you definitely put some smile on someone for his or her hard work. Am now getting cleared.

Most of the guys saying we do get nothing in return but literally we are gaining new information about something while meriting a post that is a huge reward, to be honest.

Not all merits are of because that posts are useful and informative, some are "humorous" and some are subjective (in a way that the post was enrolled in a merit giveaway).

Merit giveaway also resulted in getting information for yourself or just for others and when it comes to humor post getting merited we are getting fun as an entertain but most of the merited posts are informative so in my opinion, we are getting some kind of information when we read merited posts.

I strongly disagree with this. It's the same idea, but with different reasons behind. Likes can be abused (in Facebook). And here, merit abuse and subjective (when the merit circulates on a group of person) is strongly prohibited (AFAIK). More likely it is either the heart react or the laugh react. Therefore, it is not just about how you like a post, merits must be depends on how it helps the community and the users with the information you've posted.

Quote from: iamsheikhadil on June 12, 2020, 01:11:54 PM

When someone merits your posts because they liked them since it's your right to get merited for quality posts, you have also a duty to merit those who have good posts.

Right to get merited? No one has right to be merited. It depends on your performance and the quality of your works. And there's no such thing as "duty to merit" if you have sMerit, it's a choice. It's like buying a product, have you liked the product? Merit him (buy the product). And not all products (posts) are of the same quality and usefulness.

With rights comes duty.

When someone merits your posts because they liked them since it's your right to get merited for quality posts, you have also a duty to merit those who have good posts.

It's like paying tax.

What do you benefit by paying tax? Nothing. But it's your duty to pay tax. And in return the government gives you constitutional rights to enjoy.

So why give merits to others? Because you get merits from others for good posts

Though I really have no problem with merit sources getting paid(by whoever, for whatever reason), I completely doubt it. Fortunately there's just so much people that are voluntarily willing to be merit sources, without anything in return(probably besides bragging rights). It's not like being a merit source has the same level of effort compared to being a campaign manager though.

Like what they've said, you will not get rewards (e.g. money, freebies etc.) in return once you give merits to anyone. But with the simple act of kindness that you did, good karma will follow you for sure. The receiver might give merit to your previous or future posts to show their deepest gratitude. I guess that's the closest thing we can consider as a reward Cheesy

.

But take note, the post must considered having a good quality first, and not given just because you want to pay it forward. Simply because it might look "merit farming" in the eyes of other members.

Keep Merits mean nothing. Because you cannot sell it, and therefore not giving it to others is a waste for them.

Does spending Merits earn you profits? Yes, directly or indirectly.
When you spend Merits, you contribute to improving the quality of posts, and thus more people who know this technique that can lead to price increases or even the continuity of signatures campaigns (if you will participate in one of them.)

Unfortunately, no one pays for Merit sources, I hope that they will be paid in the future. Grin

There is no reward for you here.
You have merits and opportunity to spend it in 30 days.
If you don't spend it in 30 days you lose your available merits.
So, merits are just a way to show to other members that we are content with their contribution to the forum, nothing more.

Nope. sMerits from "normal" Bitcointalk users doesn't have a sort of expiration date. The 30 days thing only applies to merit sources:

Quote from: Welsh on October 10, 2019, 06:15:27 AM

There's only sMerit deadlines for merit sources , but for normal users there currently is not limit/deadline. However, it has been proposed that sMerits should decay to encourage users to spend them, but nothing has been implemented for that yet. Merit sources "pool" of merit refreshes every 30 days, and therefore they are encouraged to use up all of their sMerit within those 30 days.

Thank you for correction.
I remember I read before post from theymos that the same rule (30 days ) for sMerits will be applied for all members in the forum, not just merit sources.
Obviously, theymos still didn't apply this new rule until now.
Sorry for my mistake guys.

By rewarding good authors you motivate them to post more 'good', and it helps with overall forum quality. That's good thing I guess.

Your clarification is most welcomed thanks.✌️

Someone will surely find, if you give the abilities that you have "creative" most of the legendary Members or below, they have their own judgment in giving rewards/Merit, to the other members who are the most creative, many members are not specifically told to give Merit.

So, for clarification your intention is: what happens here (merit) someone wants to give a very "possible" reward in influencing the 'creativity' you have.

So, don't hesitate if you have an idea / creative, to share with other members in this forum.
