Title: (Latest): List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: mdayonliner on July 09, 2018, 06:48:10 PM Disclaimer I spend almost whole day on the forum. I read, write, learn, help others, start unnecessary fights when I get annoyed, fighting against abusers/spammers, offering small services for the community etc. Bottom line - I am a very active member, trying to improve the forum experience for the community. Here is a reference to support my claim: I started on December 14th 2017, started with 0 merits (http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/1432468.html) and became a full member (so far) only few weeks ago. My forum logged time is over 40 days and 20 hours while I am composing this topic. That's quite high ratio for anyone I believe. Anyway, let's get to the point. Member like me stumble upon a lot of posts which are merit worthy. But since I do not have enough sMerits (in most cases 0), I can not do anything. And those merit worthy posts get unnoticed for good. On this topic, I will make a list (will update constantly - replacing the old sets with the new sets) of post those worth receiving merit. If you have available sMerits and/or if you are a merit source looking for good posts to spend your sMerits then feel free to merit the posts from the list. If anyone wants to help me finding good posts then you are welcome to post in the comment section. Remember one thing - do not post your own posts and ask for review. This is not a merit review topic. This topic is more like helping the merit sources to spend their source merits and members who have enough sMerits to spend but can not find posts to merit. PS: I know we had a topic with the same idea and I had negative stand (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4556339.msg41071493#msg41071493) for it but later I realized the idea IS actually good. This can help members who are constantly looking for merit worthy posts and finding it hard to spend their sMerits.

Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: suchmoon on July 09, 2018, 09:02:22 PM Most of the linked posts seem to be about merit. TBH I'm getting merit discussion fatigue, almost to the point where I'm gonna create my own thread complaining about that ;D <-- wide smile to make anything I say completely inoffensive.
Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: Parodium on July 10, 2018, 06:52:30 AM Posts in the meta section absolutely should not be merited. In fact, merit should be disabled in this section, as 90% of merit distributed has been to posts discussing the distribution of merit, which is f***ing stupid. I find that for the majority of cases, the only reason people try and make an effort posting here, is so that they can obtain some merit themselves, whilst thinly veiling it as an attempt to help others.
Most of the linked posts seem to be about merit. TBH I'm getting merit discussion fatigue, almost to the point where I'm gonna create my own thread complaining about that ;D <-- wide smile to make anything I say completely inoffensive. The Meta section has literally become the sneakily post to obtain merit section. What is the point of the meta section when it's now primary purpose is discussing merit.... Might as well just make a merit section too, oh and a subsection for those pseudo-helping others for their own hopeful gains. Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: Don Pedro Dinero on July 10, 2018, 07:14:07 AM I am not a merit source or a member with lots of sMerits, Why don't you make this post an application to be a merit source? Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: Jet Cash on July 10, 2018, 07:39:41 AM I've always been against what I call the soup kitchen threads, and I make a point of not looking at any of the suggested posts. I prefer to hunt for posts to merit or ignore, and I do get to read a few interesting threads as a result. It is a bit time consuming though.
Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: LoyceMobile on July 10, 2018, 07:48:04 AM Yesterday, when the OP had 10 links, I checked them all but didn't think any of them deserved more merit than they had already.
Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: mdayonliner on July 10, 2018, 08:49:23 AM Guys, this is still work in progress and I am learning. I will have sets for everyday. Today I will have new set before I hit my bed. I realize this first set from yesterday were all (10/12) about merit after reading suchmoon, Parodium. After reading LoyceV, I see that I failed massively on my first day of school :D I will be focusing on variations when I pick the posts from now on. First few days may be I will mess up a little but I am a quick learner and I believe I will improve very soon.
@Don Pedro Dinero: You realize I am not ready yet? I will need to practice this stuffs before I apply and I am taking this as an apprenticeship :P (seriously) I've always been against what I call the soup kitchen threads, and I make a point of not looking at any of the suggested posts. I prefer to hunt for posts to merit or ignore, and I do get to read a few interesting threads as a result. It is a bit time consuming though. I guess I have a rough idea about your taste and I admire it. You are right - it's time consuming and need patience (a lot).Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: friends1980 on July 12, 2018, 08:57:36 PM mdayonliner, I think your intentions are very noble and I have a lot of respect for the fact that you went all the way up to Full Member in half a year. I support your proposition for supporting other people. Again: respect.
At some of the other members, I would like to say: quit acting like the Merit Police... Who deserves Merits? Should people give Merits to this or that post? Who is buying Merits? Some have come to the point where they start to not only give their opinion on the value and content of forum posts (which is right), but even criticize the fact that other people are Meriting some posts which they believe shouldn't be Merited. And now I am criticizing THOSE people! Damn I stepped into my own trap! To these members I would like to point out the fact that the domain name MeritTalk.org is still available. Oh come on, people, how more absurd can it become??? Or to say it in a Monty Python-fashion kind of way: this is TOO silly now.

And now I am criticizing THOSE people! Damn I stepped into my own trap! Merit is subjective, and I think that's what you are trying to get at, but really there needs to be some sort of standard. For example, a few bounty projects have been merited just to gain favour with the campaign manager. This has also happened on some of the Bitcoin campaigns. There's also been a few merits rewarded for memes or because someone agrees with another users post. This isn't something I like to see merit getting spent on. Of course, we can't stop this, and in reality it's not likely a big problem in the grand scope of things, but its still quite annoying to see. To these members I would like to point out the fact that the domain name MeritTalk.org is still available. Oh come on, people, how more absurd can it become???

Title: Re: In progress: List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: Donovan XXL on July 14, 2018, 12:14:12 PM I totally agree with you. You really are sure about it? :PI'm also getting tired of all those merit threads. Anyway, bump for visibility also new set added on the OP. Sorry but not everyone is like you, looking for any opportunity to get merits. I tend to think that people like you, the ones who spend so much time trying to find scammers are usually the biggest ones themselves. They know all the tricks. Why else would you waste your time on such a task? You're not doing this for the forum lol, you're doing this for yourself. So yeah I'm tired of all the merit posts, whether it's people asking how to get some, others begging for it or the ones posting useless threads thinking they're gold (that's you). This board would be better if we finally stopped talking about merits. I just checked your trust rating, how ironic!

Title: Re: (Latest): List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: coinliker on July 24, 2018, 06:27:18 AM You mentioned your post that u started on December 14th 2017, started with 0 merits and became a full member only few weeks ago. So it is very inspired to me and i think it's also inspired so many others. but we saw so many average post that get so many merits. on the other hand, very quality post get nothing(max case). Though the Taste is may be different. but My question is do u think current merit system is ok for everyone or do u think it would be modified in some cases?
Title: Re: (Latest): List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: mdayonliner on July 24, 2018, 02:27:31 PM Thank you for the kind words.
but we saw so many average post that get so many merits. on the other hand, very quality post get nothing(max case). Though the Taste is may be different. but My question is do u think current merit system is ok for everyone or do u think it would be modified in some cases? Meriting a post actually depends on the individuals. No two people will have the same parameter to evaluate a merit worthy post. Some may find a good post worth 1 merit, some may find the same post worth 50 merits, others may think it's not merit worthy at all. I read a good post from seoincorporation I guess - he was categorizing to evaluate a post which seemed standard to me, although so many will disagree with me and seoincorporation, like I said no two person will have same parameter for justifying a post. I see LoyceV easily (compliment) send out merits, Jet Cash looks for very high quality (again compliment), I see suchmoon gives out 5 - 7 merits (very generous) when s/he thinks a post is merit worthy, vod also is very generous when it comes to meriting a post. I personally can not afford to give more than one merit. By the way, these are the members I see everyday so I bought them as examples. There are others as well like TMAN, Welsh, pugman, Foxpup, QuestionAuthority, DarkStar_, OgNasty, The Pharmacist, LFC_Bitcoin even theymos himself etc. It is hard to find that two of them has similar pattern. Quote My question is do u think current merit system is ok for everyone or do u think it would be modified in some cases? Personally I am quite ok with the current outcome although we have seen number of abuses (abuses still exist though but not very high in scale like before). Every system has a system lose and you can not avoid it. Also, anything can be improvised so do the merit system if the admin wants. We have talked about it so many times. Feel free to explore. In summary, the overall Merit system is working wonderful IMO. Title: Re: (Latest): List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: nitrocryptonitro on July 24, 2018, 03:06:01 PM Whhooohhh, is that topic a joke or what ??
Amongst the posts proposal, no one is a quality one... Just standard posts, and even shit posts, from forumers who take themselves too seriously and have a high opinion of themselves. Some of them are even rude, mocking other ones for their english skills, taking part to the BCT gestapo and reporting other people's posts, but having nothing qualititative to post (Hello Don Pedro Dinero ! ;)) And WTF ? They are here begging for merits? BCT has really turned into a despisable shithole place... Title: Re: (Latest): List of posts worth receiving merits Post by: digaran on July 29, 2018, 06:21:20 PM This topic should be in Off topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=9.0), I don't know if meta is good to promote people's posts to receive merits.
