I visit the tech boards, legal and serious discussion, and a few others if I feel in the mood. The meritable posts seem to be by seniors though. I feel that I ought to help junior or new members, but they are either on ignore, or they are hiding from me. Smiley

I have been known to visit Meta as well.

Try this, a topic from @digaran

I find some posts on the tech boards, and serious discussion. I need to see how the Flying Fish has got on in political as well, that would be an interesting one for me. I do try in beginners, but that is a struggle. Meta seems to have become the new discussion and off topic board, so I find a few here. I ought to spend time in speculation, as the long term price of Bitcoin is of interest to me.

I've just merited this post -

This is the type of post that tends to be unrecognised, but I think it is part of the basic community help initiative in Bitcoin Talk. No doubt some will consider it as a wasted vote, as it went to a legendary, but I believe that we should say thank you to legendaries as well as newbies.

I can see why some members just give out 20-50 merits in one hit. It's such a struggle to award merit in ones and twos.
On the other hand, there's really no harm just holding onto sMerits until some good posts come along.  Recently I've seen several posts I wanted to merit, but didn't have any to give out.  There's no way at this point I'd hand out 20 merits for a single post.  Even if I was a merit source I wouldn't do that unless the post was really good--but I haven't given a single post that many since the whole thing started.

I have a number of sections blocked, so for me the best posts continue to be made in Meta and Reputation.  I've all but given up on trying to find anything worth meriting in Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, and the entire altcoin section.  There's nothing but junk there, and it's unfortunate.  You would think B.D. would be one of the best places to find good posts, but that's where the sig campaign spammers go to get lost in spam, and Altcoin Discussion is where all the bounty participants go to do likewise.

I don't know how you guys play this role of giving sMerits.

Hey - we aren't playing, this is serious. Smiley

I used to enjoy looking around, as I found some interesting threads that I probably wouldn'y have opened had I not been distributing largesse.

Recently it seem to be more annoying than interesting. I thought the merit system had improved things, but there seems to be a new influx of members who don't care. I start to wonder if it is a load of bots who don't have aspirations above Junior.
As far as I can tell merit system did not prevent all user to create spam post rather than creating good quality post that deserves a merit. I think he wants to earn merit. Just create one so you would receive a merit.

It's no good looking on the beginner's or discussion boards. They are all about bounty and air drops and social networking stuff. I'd like to award members that are interested in Bitcoin and reputable crypto currencies, but I've almost given up trying to find them.

Honestly, To tell you all guys it's hard for us to capture your attention from our post or thread that if it is meritable or not. As far as I did until now i'm trying to work hard to earn merit I even join merit giveaway threads in meta I did receive one that's the first best day i had when i have one. I even accept opinions from another user for I can improve my post's quality.
On the contrary, it's not that hard to capture their attention, even posting a short one will suffice as long as the content piques their interest. Thinking that you deserve some merit because you've worked hard in creating a quality post does not guarantee you of getting one if, in actuality, that other user doesn't see your post a merit worthy one.

Seems like you can post a long one and put more effort when it comes to topics that are related to merits but quite short with crypto related kinds of stuff.
I get it buddy, That is why i need to learn more about cryptocurrency. I haven't learn much that's why I'm having trouble getting merit. Base on what I posted first in this thread about capturing attention is that I want to learn on how to be a good quality poster. Atleast i put an effort rather than posting spam messages. One more thing, capturing attention means I want to learn how to create interesting thread topics or replies that deserves a merit.

Delete merit, then posts in bitcoin discussion, JC is correct about the ignore button

You dont really need to capture their attention. Stay on topic and make sure to post meaningfull content. Not that you need to make your post stand out in front of other posts. Merit sources would read what you post but surely if you write huge walls of text which would give then retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage then you wont be getting merited.

That is something I would discourage. Merit giveaway threads are not my thing which is why I did not start my own even if I am hoarding some sMerit.

I'd don't think I'm a typical awarder. I don't look at rank, post total, activity or current merit score when deciding on an award. I do look at post history though, especially if a reply is good, but not outstanding. If I see too many of those short meaningless bumping posts, then I move on.

Telling readers that you are just posting to capture the approval/attention of some merit sources, is not a good idea mate. You need to help people understand more about bitcoin, bitcointalk, blockchain or cryptocurrency, not to ass kissing those with sMerit for merit approval. If that is your idea, this should be changed from bitcointalk.org to smerittalk.org. Look around and just enjoy.

I agree, I'd rather stop posting rather than waiting for approval. Admins, mods, and other members won't bother checking your post. For me your solution is not the right solution for problem bitcointalk facing, merit system lessen spam a bit already as we all know there's still spammers in this forum.

Yes, admins, mods, and other members will not bother checking, because they have their own busy lives outside this forum. Complaining is not the right solution either.

I do not have a lot of sMerit to share, yet even I can't find enough "new" members to reward... The quality of new posters' messages is appalling, either shilling, begging, Engrishing, Marinecoining or spamming. So I've decided to simply reward those who deserve it, no matter what his rank is. If he is a Hero or Legendary member, so be it.
It's a really good idea, Hero members needs to gather 500 merits to rank up just one level, and everyone is just looking for newbies and jr. members to send merits to them, and nobody cares about the Heros...
(You know, the real Heros also need merits just like the newbies and the others Tongue )
I also send merit to Heros and Legendary members, because it seems that in the end, the post quality is somehow determined by the rank (or you can find some decents posts easier if you search among Legendaries and not newbies...)

I thought that the 'secret thread' was actually the Meta board. Smiley

Instead of getting merits. We need to concentrate on making posts with the proper reply mate wherever you can find the problems and you can help with the reply you do. I see the people invested some money on merit farming, even that is not good for the forum and its a kind of spamming too.

I advice you to share all the merits to people who ever have the quality post you feel. That may help the people. I have seen the thread on services section which can help to rank up with few merits. That kind of act will be helpful mate.

There are a lot of Jr. Members that post here and you can merit their posts directly. Smiley
