Title: Programmable merit sent
Post by: mahalkita on September 10, 2018, 10:04:53 AM
As I saw merit is one of the requirements to rank up, and before we receive a single merit from someone we need to make a good quality post that`s contain a new information to help others, so in that point we can categories those post as  good quality post, but I`m confuse, people are not fair and most of them are unbalance, so  can merit be programmable send to those people   who make a good quality post once the forum notice that the post has been made with good quality that we can call as extension merit source?

Respect, Good day.

And how would this work exactly? It would require a well-trained neural network or some high level AI bot to decide wether or not a reply is/was high quality or not... Next to this, the bot would have to have a function to remove copy-pasters, plagiarism,...

It's perfectly possible to give a 2 letter reply that is super usefull, and it's possible a 5000 word post is utter nonsense. It's possible for a native english speaker to make a useless post in perfect english and a non-native speaker can make a post filled with grammer and spelling mistakes that is top-notch...
It's possible a perfect answer doesn't get quoted because it completely answers all questions, while a half-assed post can be quoted a gazillion times, even if it's just to make fun of the OP.

I couldn't think of a way to automise merit dispersal, but maybe you can think of al algorithm to solve this problem?

Theymos can easily implement that but a mere program cannot identify who makes a quality post that contributes to the community. If you are worried about merit sources, there are people assigned as merit sources(with replenishing sMerits stock) who goes around giving people merit for quality posts that contribute to the community although their judgement can somehow be affected by a subjective opinion sometimes.

I’m also confused because, first of all, you English is quite poor. Then, what you are suggesting is to do hasn't been invented yet otherwise it would have been used to detect shitposters.

I don’t wanna look at your post history because I’m afraid of what I’m gonna see.

And no, you’re not going to get merits for this post. I think you’ll rather get on some people’s ignore list.


Title: Posts don't have to contain new information

we need to make good quality posts that contains new information to help others,

That is not true. The information does not have to be new. In fact there is very little new information posted. Most posts are helpful, or discussions about current news or technical issues.

Presentation is a great help in gaining merits, and I don't mean using fancy or excessive formatting. For example, I made a few minor changes to the quoted bit of your post. Fluid English helps readers to scan threads quickly, and to pick up on your content. This is likely to cause a merit awarder to pause, and to click on that merit donation button.

The concept of a good post is very subjective, and it is better to leave the awarding of merits to humans who are sensitive to the community spirit, rather than trying to create a bot that may be influenced by the TwitBook spammers.
