Topic: Why is it complicated to get merits (Read 972 times)
And I personally am pleased to just write posts. And if they are useful to someone and they will earn the Merit, it's just fine!
I don't think there is any complications in getting merit.
I got the merit in my 2nd post and that was not very unique post.I just share my knowledge or experience with right place.
Be yourself and try to give genuine answer. Don't answer to any question,only for increasing post count and for getting merit.
There are members,who are eager to give merit. They are not hoarding merit or not giving merits to their's close one.But they are looking for genuine knowledge full Post for that.
If you will blindly create the threads/post,then nobody can help you in getting the merits.

I do not agree you, the current way looks very complicated to me as well. I am in no way against the merit system as it will help to promote good posts on this forum. This is very much required as the threads are full of shit posts which affects the user experience.
But the way merits are given and calculated needs to be simplified, a new member will have hard time understanding it.
I know that posts that are novel and have good information are +merit.
If so, can I merit from replys with my new and great information?

You're making a lot of assumptions.
Its my experience and not assumptions. I did gain a lot of knowledge in by reading the threads in the forum. Newbies dont seem to care.Quote
Especially number three, considering that I've never been part of any campaign.
Does that mean in future you are not going to join any?Quote
And number one and two, I don't care one iota about getting merits, and just expressing what I see.
You are seeing what is being hyped too much. Merit has become a hype among the shitpositng newbies who dont care about spam and are more interested in gaining rank as soon as possible so that they can enter the next tier of signature payments?Quote
And what I see is that people as a whole have not gotten into any type of merit giving groove, so it's really, really, really hard to get any.
They have to be patient and continue contributing to the forum.Quote
And I say that because as I browse this forum I rarely ever see well thought out, good effort posts getting any merit.
Merit sources are still low in my opinion. Still I do get merited often so I dont see how this can be true or biased for others. There are members who can be set as examples. The rest of them are just crying for merits.
Why is such an upgrade system so controversial? Is not the establishment of this system has made many areas lost their original habits, because they must adapt to this system, can not here the most natural to speak and publish news? Is this different from many public forums?

I'm getting so tired of all these stupid threads about the difficulty in getting merits. I'm considering only reading posts by senior members and above. So many of the lower ranks post rubbish, spam or whining comments. How many of you really want merits? - I suspect the answer is virtually none. A lot of members here have suggested how to work for merits, and they offer helpful projects, but very few members take any notice.
All the poo that you post is rubbing off onto your trousers, and nobody is going to want to help you if you are covered with brown stains.

because the rewarder is really looking for members who have the ability and high will so they try very hard to be able to produce a good work and can be accepted by all members and seniors until given a reward that will support the promotion of our rank as subordinate
The thing is that to get merit you have to post really, really, really, really good comments that catches people. While before to rank up you could just post regular and in the flow of things. While the merit systems guarantees that spammer won't rank up, it almost guarantees that a regular, average user won't rank up either.
I am a "regular" "average" user in the forum. I am getting merited often for posting. I still need a huge number of merits to reach the next (and final) rank of the forum but do I look like I am complaining? Thing is that not everyone here has the ability to adapt to every new thing that the world throws at them.If you feel that the merit system is favoring people and you are getting jealous of them for ranking up before you can (Hint: Rat Race??) then you can do the following :
1. Its time to up your game and learn better ways to post.
2. Stop visiting this forum and hope merit gets removed (Which will not happen)
3. The last but not the least - get a job and stop depending on the forum bounty earnings to get paid.

Hey guys
I understand that the merit system is meant to illuminate/minimize the number of crappy posts...etc
Honestly I find it really complicated jumping up a rank; the merit gap between ranks is really high. I mean I have 10 merits I need 90 to jump up a rank it has been really really long and not even a single merit scored.
Any consideration of lowering the merits required for the rank up requirements? or any tips you good guys have on how or where do I have to be to get them merits?
This is the furom now if you can't accept the fact it's up to you if you stay or leave the pact. Your still lucky you got 10 merits unlike to us but maybe someday we can achieve our dream ranks for now we have to focus on our goals in contributing to the society and hoping that someday someone appreciate our effort.

I am also realizing without good posts you will never get merits,from some weeks i am observing that now the total focus and rank up is on merits which is only possible though good reputation and reputations come from good informative posts.
You know lucky because you have10 merit in, if I just have that feeling i feel satisfied .. because so many new member or just like me i have a lot of activities but until now im only still jr member rank because i still not doing help here or the other because i do not have talent like other or show a good attitude here in forum so I need to accept that still jr member. but in time i will be rank up! I do my best!
Sorry for my English im not good in English ✌

This is because people don't readily give out their merits. Some have used it for business or shared it among their friends which ever way. It's not easily given
Stop blame on someone else because you can not earn merits, please.Merits should be sent to deserved threads which have ability itself to contribute to the forum.
Theymos created the merit system for that positive purpose, and users in the forum should give their hands and keep the good performance of merit system through their posts.
Your last thread (above mine) doesn't deserve merits for sure. So, you should change the way you compose your threads first.

You guys still don't get it do you. There's loads of merits out there to be given away, but there's fuck all worth giving it to.
What did you imply, Flash Cunt?There are about more than 70 merit sources, and lots of normal users who are readily to send their sMerits away to deserved threads.
Shitposters will never get merits because they don't deserve that. They can only earn merits from merit business.

post quality not quantity. Always helps to post related gifs and funny responses.

because people have different perception on what is good and what bad.
i would spend time to try get merit at all, no one knows how long this forum will stay popular.
well, so I have to make a good post to get merits, okay I will do but who will give what anyone want to sent merit to me iam new on here?
Everyone is equal in the eyes of the merit sources.... Despite a recent few who got caught. 
Keep (start) contributing quality content to the discussions and soon merit will follow. Dont try to chase the merits or cry for them. They will come to you.
This new system of ranking up uskng the merit system has proven to be good. And as you said that it is difficult yeah it is because you don't have to impress only yourself in the post but you'd have to impress each reader. So you see how the task is, don't just write to please yourself, but write to impress and earn merits.
You dont need to impress anybody. Merit sources are not asking for your hand in marriage. LOLI have an idea, by giving more merits people can give.
I dont get you idea. You mean to say merit sources should be given more merits to distribute? Quote
But again with that, you have a problem with people selling those merits.
No system is immune to abuse. Every system is vulnerable to abuse.Quote
Like i said in previous posts about selling merit for money, I hate to see people abuse that with such a method, and i support permanently banning those people, even if possible taking all of his money he earned selling merit.
They will be tagged with red if you report them properly and call a DT member to look into them.Quote
If we can stop that and try to ban or at least give a warning to the people giving merits to friends or to stupid posts, then my method could actually work.
Maybe once the merit sources increase in number we might see a paradigm shift. No, you have to make a good post because that's the purpose of a forum.
Stop thinking about Merits. Contribute if it's useful. Read if you want to learn. The rest will follow automatically.
oke, thnks buddy for the advice, I will do it Nice to meet you. Stop thinking about Merits. Contribute if it's useful. Read if you want to learn. The rest will follow automatically.
