Title: Smerits Hodl
Post by: nlaara12 on April 01, 2019, 06:29:40 AM
I thought is only coin that are meant to be hodl,but it is shocking that more Smerits are been hodl than coin these days.Please can you help me tell someone that,Smerits are not to be hodl but to be given to make the forum a better place.Some have managed to give out  one-third of their Smerits in the last 120 days,don't tell me that the forum don't have enough quality post that deserve those Smerits,i guess you are afraid that someone will rank up with you and that will mean a reduction in your reward,believe me the forum is large enough to accommodate us all even everyone is an Hero or a Legendary. Stop hodl,show love to someone for job well done.
   Thumb up to 'tk808',you are doing a great job in the forum,showing love to everyone that deserve it,don't you think if everyone is like 'tk808',every quality post should have merits flowing now.No offence,just an observation.


UPDATE: It feels good to see this post enjoy tremendous response,and it will be my pleasure to help as many as possible that deserve it, to rank up,as the merit is coming,I will surely do my best.May God help me.

I am very generous in giving merit where it deserves I love giving more merits to those who can give me tools or information that can give or help in my online endeavors but some members only had a few merits to give, sometimes I forgot about this merit things but you are right people should be more generous in giving merits..

I have come to realise that, when you give smerit out to someone, mainly those who have been making quality posts, it gives them the enthusiasm to make more meaningful posts.
It is not just about the merit that is acquired or desired, rather it is because you gave the fulfilment of helping people and to confirm that you have been of help, they would give you some smerits in return.

Give the quality posters a merit, so you will be rewarded with merit from someone else in the future as you post with great quality.

as you can see I only have 1 additional merit on the account that I have. some people gave Smerit to people who gave useful posts for him, but until now I haven't found the post. if I give Smerit wrong I am afraid that I might misuse it if I give it not to the right post

Thank you for this kind of post,it is true that many on the forum need some kind of encouragement by giving their quality post some kind of merit,there are many quality post that deserve some merit.

Post by: mindrust on April 01, 2019, 08:55:48 PM
Just keep posting quality content and merits will come to you naturally.

It may not happen instantly but it'll happen. There are many merit sources who unload their stash on quality posts everyday. Sure they can't see all of them and can miss many great posts but you should already know that.

Just keep sharing. At first, after this new system got introduced, I couldn't picture myself earning 300+ merits but I did. You can too.

You are right. But, most probably "Altcoin Discussion" is not right place to earn Merit.
In "Meta" for quality posts you will have much more chances to get some.

There is little effect that can be done to fix circumstances regarding hodling of smerits
We can only continue to make valid constructive posts on the forum and definitely we get noticed one day
And get desired acknowledgement

Smerit have been created to make sure good quality posts creators are actually rewarded with something for their contribution to this forum. In the past everyone could have a high rank in this forum, everything they needed to do is create simple posts and wait to receive their activity but now only the ones that deserve it will reach a higher rank

Yes, smerit is not given to hold, it is given to users so they can give it to another user who post a good quality post.
If i remember, there is time limit in smerit. If you not giving any smerit to other user, it will expired and you cannot send it anymore.
But i think not all of users know about this.

It's not just that we are stingy in giving out smerit and we want to keep all to ourselves, beside it can never be useful to us because it can't be used for anything, unless you want to make purchase of the bitcointalk April fool condoms and shirts that is being sold currently in the market, lol.

Most of the time we even forget that we have possession of smerit with us and we have to give it away, maybe it would be cool if there is something that can bring it to our consciousness that we actually need to give smerit to those that makes quality post in the forum.

I have given all my smerit. Keeping smerit doesn't make you earn anything. It is meant to be distributed to good contributors at Bitcointalk so they can get a little hope to increase their rank. How many people with this merit system succeed to increase his rank?

Or those who are holding sMerits are too lazy to go around the forum and read each and every post.  :P  They will just give the merit if they encounter a quality post while doing their regular activity in the forum but not to the point that they will go hunting for quality posters. A suggestion though, for those who have lots of sMerits, maybe they can dedicate 30minutes of their time every week to roam around the forum and share their smerits to those deserving individuals.  ;)

Post by: Distinctin on April 02, 2019, 08:38:28 AM
Some are holding it, maybe because they are not aware on how it works, so they don't know how to spend.
There are a lot of spammers in these forum, but has been reduce now already because some are ban or maybe some just give up because signature bounty is not giving good income anymore and those who high on a weekly basis has required merits for the applicants.

If they can spend their merits, then this forum will be more better since the newbie will rank up and they will be happy of what they deserve.
Thanks for noticing that, it's actually through, maybe when the bull run starts they will also off load their merits.  ;D

Post by: D1jay on April 02, 2019, 09:07:45 AM
Unfortunately not all post are been recognize to receive Smerit because of the size of the forum or the common knowledge that most people with Smerit don't feel the need to merit a post that deserves it, maybe because they don't want to see other people rank up or they don't want to be tag as merit abusers,

the merit system to rank up has really made thousand of account on this forum stagnant without ranking up,
as i have observe only those who have some technical skills to offer are the most account that easily receive Smerit because of this services they render,

normal post on this forum don't normally attract merit no matter how constructive that post may appear (even though am yet to know the qualities of a constructive post in this forum), and if such post does manage to attract an Smerit, it wont be more than 1-2 :D

as much as this Smerit system was introduce to reduce the level of spam and shit post in this forum, i doubt this has been achieved, because you don't have to be an English professor to see the quality of post in the forum even after Smerit system introduction, this is the sad reality.

Lol! Are you referring to this junior member account or another account in which you have so slmuch smerit? Because as a jr member account i doubt if you are entitled to any spendable merit at all, my account is member and i don't have such spendable merit to give, so am wondering how your jr member account had so much smerit to give to the point you still have 2 left,

That been said, it would be better that higher rank accounts can often give out smerit to such post which they find worthy of been rewarded instead of keeping it to theirself and yielding no benefit to them.

Let me check how much I am holding now, ohhh I have two, decided to give you the 1 merit and I have 1 left.
I think I am just gonna hold it for long term, who knows it will pump, then it would bring fortune to me.

Seriously though, this thread is really good, OP has a brilliant idea of noticing that some people are still holding merit.
I'm wondering where my sMerit will replenish.

the Smerit system is a choice and should be given to posts that are beneficial to many people. if we cannot choose and compete then we will walk somewhere and cannot develop. This Smerit system will immediately select and provide additional competitions for each member here to make informative and constructive contributions. So, inevitably we have to "bother" and spend more time learning and discussing. ;)

Mate I doubt that there are few good contributors here on the forum to be awarded merit for a nice post. I see some good quality posts but have no smerit left to give out, those same posts are also seen by users who have much smerit to give out but would rather send them to legendary accounts that barely have need for them.

People hoarding smerits should be punished, decrease their merit by how many smerits they are hoarding, they should go down a single rank, or maybe two ranks, also remove those smerits to those who hoard and send those merits to those who actively give the merits to the forum members.

Smerits is the forum's rating system, but I find that it is being used by many different purposes. And give it away and get back the better. Don't just care to keep it to yourself. Consider this system a good thing for everyone in the community to think about its price :)

Yes thtas right, everyone with smerit needed to spend it out whenever they get to see good post here in forum. Some high ranks are not know the essence of merit system. It make me piss when i see an account give 50 smerit just for a bounty thread. That Is absolutely not right? Am I right?. It should be spread among user who use to take time doing their not for a job/relevant to their job like posting a bounty thread.

The merit system was introduced as a form of appreciation for quality and informative post and the rank of members are subject to it but some smerit source and higher rank members have taken it as a hodling item, may be they may convert it to bitcoin later  ;D but seriously we need to show more love in merit giving cause freely you have received and freely you should give also.

You are right and i think this system will never work unless we do not need to earn merit to give merit only if merit will become like like in fb and clap in medium only then this merit systemcan really flourish and we will see better implementation with the current system forum seems to be stagnant in terms of rank changes.

I just also observe that, most people are not giving merits for the quality post that the have been seen because of a simple reason, it is just being a crab mentality as you stated,people dont want to be left behind. They dont want to give because they know it is hard for them to get. I know that there are still some ranks that they wanna give their merits but because there are people that they dont want to give they better holding it rather than giving.

Very few people who are willing to put merit for a quality post. Most often put Merit their own accounts. Or famous people on the forum to earn their respect.
Sometimes you write a good post, but there is no result. Because of this, I don’t want to write something new. This is not only about this forum.

It is true there are only few who gives Smerit to the forum.
There are so many good quality post out there and helpful topics that isn't receiving merit at all.
Most of us are just reading it without giving merit to the OP even if the post was good and helpful for everyone.

smerit is aimed at people who really deserve it, the quality of posts is not only about how many words are written but the meanings and answers that really help other questions and readers. good quality reflects itself as well and can also assess how broad the knowledge of post makers not love


Title: Re: Smerits Hodl
Post by: kaya11 on April 02, 2019, 04:27:08 PM
Option A, they are holding it maybe because they are waiting for someone with unique post and interests them in someway. I have received a merit recently from The Pharmacist, and I didn't even knew some of my post would be granted a merit by a  trusted member on this forum. Option B, they are simply holding them for their own benefits, yah know if most forum users don't rank up, the higher members stay few, and surely we lower ranked members will even triple because 10 merits would be enough for Member ranked in this forum to stay on it's current ranked, and more are coming. Option C, They just don't care and never read, higher members sometimes skip the post of most discussions and just focus on their signature campaigns, somehow this hurts me, because of lower ranks does have sometimes quality posts and should be given a merit. There are lots of reasons why they kept it, and these are just few and in my own opinion.

In fact, those who write a constructive post get smerit. When the system was first created, it was possible to encounter such a situation, but now the situation is different. Just try to write more useful posts.

I think most users really appreciate their rank on the forum and are afraid to share smerit to avoid a negative trust. I think that such people are the majority and they decided that it is better to express gratitude in the text, but to remain with a positive trust.

You're right. To obtain merit from someone on this forum is quite difficult. Very few people are willing to share them for free. The rest made of this a means of earning money.

You're right, some users here are refraining themselves to give out their smerit and just holding it like a coin.

I think it might because they dont want to be accused with an alt account or they dont appreciate a post with a quality content.

Well holding your smerit doesnt benefit you thus its better to spread it around the forum because many users deserves it and need it.

...i guess you are afraid that someone will rank up with you and that will mean a reduction in your reward,
I have no proof of this but this could be one of the reasons why some are so tight with their smerits like there's a hodling reward for doing so.

Another possible reason is that they probably don't know which one is worthy of merits and they do not want to be accused as merit abuser.


Oh well some are hodling hard just to give it to one user. I saw one "dump" 50 sMerits to a bounty manager for his ANN thread  ;D
50 in one single thread? If what you say is true, that is probably the most given to a user.

The most important thing in a post is not going off track and giving opinions that can motivate someone or when providing important information about Crypto. Every post on my forum only says what I know according to what happened and didn't think too much about Smerit even though it was important enough as evidence. I don't underestimate everyone's opinion because we don't know all about the extraordinary Crypto.

   Thumb up to 'tk808',you are doing a great job in the forum,showing love to everyone that deserve it,don't you think if everyone is like 'tk808',every quality post should have merits flowing now.No offence,just an observation.

Merit is distributed and quite actively, just many people are afraid to put it on strangers. After all, they can be considered abuser merit.
Also, do not deceive anyone, but on this forum most people are present primarily to participate in subscription campaigns and they absolutely do not care about the quality of messages. That is precisely why Merit puts so little.

Because I am not merit hunter, I do not have merit - simply.

Lucky for you that you got your Sr member status before this merit took place.  :P Getting merit/s is really tough. Even if you have quality post, there's no guarantee that you will even get 1 for that. So just go on with our lives and be happy that this forum is helping us in many ways.

I agree into your point that's why you have convinced me to sent one.Smerits aren't really meant to be hold but no matter what reasons behind then
that smerit holder do have its own criteria or doesn't really care at all to share out those points. The fact that this forum is flooded with spam and trash
post that's why you cant blame that other people wont really tend to give out smerits and those good post are affected that's why we have
a thread on reporting such underrated threads to be merited and that's a good alternative if you do care too much on smerit sharing.

I definitely agree with that, though you have good post sometimes your post are not getting merits.
I suspect that those who receive merits have friends in the forum, like group chat or something and they can give merits to their friends.
Sending merits solely depends on the persons understand and if he like your post, you receive it.

Keep posting for sure you will have a merit soon.

smerit is aimed at people who really deserve it, the quality of posts is not only about how many words are written but the meanings and answers that really help other questions and readers. good quality reflects itself as well and can also assess how broad the knowledge of post makers not love
I agree it is not about the long message.

Merit is given to those who have posted a very unique or informative message in the forum.

It might depend, some view at as people hodl it but no, some people do not care about their merit, also, they don't have time to manage viewing other peoples content and doesn't even care. There are people who are assigned to be a merit provider, we cannot really just rely on ordinary accounts with huge merits as their focus maybe is on other aspect of this forum.

You are right, but if people are just willing to send merits, low rank will be given a chance to rank up.
But then again, regardless of the rank you are in now, even you are at low rank, you can still make the same contribution as the higher ranks.

Such a great observation! I agree with every word! I don't know why they stop giving Smerits to the new people. They always give lots of merits if Theymos post anything! Those big men can buy a Bitcointalk Tshirt by spending 300 smerits where it's cost was less than 300 Smerits! I think everyone should read your feelings and reality! Sometimes we deserve it but still, some people never will appreciate you!

It's not all about doing same contribution. When it comes about signature campaign, with same contribution, people are getting more than me. So, it's higher rank which is needed for little more payment. If you were a member, you would tell the same. Maybe you are now higher rank and that's why ignoring.

The most merited post are usually base on their contribution in this market, its not that easy of course so they really deserve to receive such merit however, we cannot force anyone to give merit even if there's a good post in front of us. Don't think about your rankings now, just try to be more creative and continue to do good things for sure you will earn some merit passively and without knowing it. Some users are too generous on giving merit, so I believe we are still surrounded by good people.

Many of the high ranks with a lot of smerit don't have all day to spend on this forum and search for quality posts.  It would help if we had more merit sources to focus on all sub sections because altcoin discussion doesn't seem to get much love.

I completely agree with you that the bitcointalk forum has all the necessary information for all users of cryptocurrency. Including both investors and traders can only get me new information here, but also provide something of their own, so that other users of cryptocurrency learn from it.

I thought is only coin that are meant to be hodl,but it is shocking that more Smerits are been hodl than coin these days.Please can you help me tell someone that,Smerits are not to be hodl but to be given to make the forum a better place.Some have managed to give out  one-third of their Smerits in the last 120 days,don't tell me that the forum don't have enough quality post that deserve those Smerits,i guess you are afraid that someone will rank up with you and that will mean a reduction in your reward,believe me the forum is large enough to accommodate us all even everyone is an Hero or a Legendary. Stop hodl,show love to someone for job well done.
   Thumb up to 'tk808',you are doing a great job in the forum,showing love to everyone that deserve it,don't you think if everyone is like 'tk808',every quality post should have merits flowing now.No offence,just an observation.
The truth is that not everyone is aware of what sMerits mean. With the exception of the Heros and Legends, most Jr. Members and members hodl their sMerits thinking they will loose merits by giving out some.

I can tell you some people do not know the use of these Smerits and what is disturbing to me, is that most people on these forum give their merit to the campaign manager of the campaigns they are participating in, this should be discourage. I too, I am guilty of not giving out the Smerit and will work on it and issue more to people that deserve it

I really enjoy reading this, thanks for this suggestion. It needs to go viral on the platform. I for one don't even have talk less of to know what smerit is.

Smerits are meant to me distributed to reward quality contents necessary to promote the platform. But the fact that its no longer given out easily like before shows there's a hightened increase in value perception attached to merits which is also good for the platform

Post by: Coltpython on April 06, 2019, 08:04:00 AM
But seriously, posts quality has increased over the last couple of months. So I don't see why those with smerits are still hoarding them. Maybe they are indeed scared that other members rankings will catch up to them and they will earn less rewards from campaigns. If so then maybe the admins should look into this

I've seen good quality posts everywhere but sadly none of them receive any merit, i guess those who have smerits don't know how to give it. Maybe we just missed the right place where to put the good quality post. There are lots of sections and boards here that we mostly don't know but those boards are minimal active so isn't even the great place to post imho.

Post by: bakermaker123 on April 06, 2019, 02:18:53 PM
Well, one of the reasons why most of the legendary, hero, or senior members don't give they merits is because they don't have time to read every single post that there is. And most of the legendary rank that I know, they just do their weekly task in signature campaign and then they will go online again if they needed to do the task again. I am not saying that all of the members are doing signature campaign only, but, most of them are.

We need to understand that, the community is ours and together we achieve more. Learn to lend a helping hand to someone by sharing your smerit to deserving posts, it cost nothing to share. I was given 2 merits today by a great hero member @kasabus and immediately returned the smerit to the newbie on the role with a good comment. It costs nothing to share, the sky is big enough for everyone to fly.

Well, it seems to me that what you got for this post does not belong to you. Why Such activity is not peculiar to this forum. In order to get at least one you need to find something so new that some of the legendary participants will tremble. What I see is all bought from you now. Do not be offended.

Well as introduced on Bitcointalk will Smerit, not once they really never used! In General, of course they are useless there,so only in order to stop the development of many accounts, and the old one is already legendary,so that more money earned,all that's what it is,well as they say the time is now ISO comes to an end,as the few people left who believe in ISO,so now Hunters problems

My manager once told me that If you wan't to earn more, you have to give more and that's what I noticed with smerits distribution. Those who continue to give it out, they get it back as well from merits given to them. Its like if you see their name as an smerit giver, other smerit giver will remember that username and they will give smerits too if they found a post that is worth a merit.

Since the judgment of a post is subjective, each Smerit sender may present a different view about the post - some may see it as shit whereas other may see it as good. I think there should be a standard set aside to judge the quality of a post which will take into consideration the grammar, the organization of the post, the relevance of the information being presented etc.

I think it is really difficult to get a smile because currently there are only a number of active members who are active sources, so at least you can create a topic that can provide very good assistance to new members here or can help to provide solutions until solved it will make you get smerit.

This is how you get merit, members that could give merit are just here watching good post, and this post is so real and OP deserves a merit.
Who says it's hard to earned merit here? OP just give an example how...

He has a point, why do we hold merit.

Smerit has no criteria right? Someone can give it to someone he thinks he like or appealing post to him. It's not about all quality. As someone said, if that person likes the post he would give it no matter the quality of that post. If theymos created a system on how those quality post should be give in then I guess many here are already rank up.

Initially though there are users who says that they should give merit to post that is worthy and help in some way and not just because you agree with that post.

However, as time goes by people just give merit around, it is not moderated so we are free to choose which post we want to merit to according to us.

If we want this board to get more attention, first we need to join hands together to reduce the rate of spam on the board. In as much as you make comments here, try to read through other comments and report worthless posts the moment you see one. The moment the spam rate reduces on board, more merit sources will be interested in this board. We need to help ourself before we seek for help from outside. Smerits aren't to be held thats the fact, did a post on that something ago too.

(2). see Smerit as liabilities to myself and an Asset to others and give them away to deserving users

This is one of the reasons why people are posting less and just do bounty-related social media post because they cannot reach to their next rank, however good is their post, I have seen newbies with over 100 posts because he is having a hard time going through the next rank.

As we understood from this thread and post in here, Merit would have been worth more than a lot of coins if the crypto was put on the market. Since Bitcointalk is the most important platform in the world, it will be important to merit one of its important elements.

I am an old school member, I am posting everyday on this forum and look 1 merit earned  ;D ::). And I am not the only one who has the problem with receiving merit.
Because I am not merit hunter, I do not have merit - simply.

Lucky for you that you got your Sr member status before this merit took place.  :P Getting merit/s is really tough. Even if you have quality post, there's no guarantee that you will even get 1 for that. So just go on with our lives and be happy that this forum is helping us in many ways.

I agree with you

Getting merit is hard simply because the forum is large with numerous posts and several difficulties in reading all daily weekly monthly or yearly

But as long as good posts get rewarded often; it will work out eventually

Bitcointalk forum will keep developing if the peoples always create a useful threads and posts.

A lot of the lower ranked members get overlooked when giving out merit especially if they post in the altcoin sections where not many merit sources hang out.

This is a pretty interesting situation. Once someone has told about this problem, people gave a lot of merits to him, but the reality is that the majority of our community do not want to share their smerits to get more rewards in bounty campaigns.
