Bitcoin Forum

Frankly speaking I don't even know what to title this post that's why I had this as a title. Firstly I'm saying this even if I know it won't change a thing on the board but I believe it's worth saying. This board is damn too biased in merit sending and receiving. It obvious and anyone coming here to defend it is obviously part of it.  I've been out of smerits for a while now and I've been surfing around just to keep an eye on some deserving posts when my source gets refilled and I can see really good posts abandoned for no damn reason. Now we have 5 sources on the board what's the excuse?

Every now and then Nigerians complain about the government of the country and how bias they are but the fact is the average Nigerian is worse than they are the only difference is the opportunity to exercise that power..... I hope one day you guys allow the board to actually grow and stop farming accounts..

Just as you have exhausted your smerit it's probably the same way others did but the issue of sending to deserving post is very unfortunate that its quiet biased but time to time I still see some deserving and recieving as they deserve.

For example me, I have received few that I'm certain I deserved more than that, I guess it's because some of you have little portions for now.

Not to make an excuse for anyone but you all merit source should be in contact with each other to know how exactly you're operating the voluntary power you have.

---

coming here to complain to us is only going to spake some irrelevant issues that is probably going to leave the context of the discussion, speaking as a Nigerian I know what we can do.

You have trash posts that are pyramid quotes and off topic as hell earning tons of merit on the buttom of page 5 Who the hell reads a whole thread that far. If you are supporting you are part of them. Nobody on this board is blind. Merit is sent on this board based on a know you basis and not a quality basis. Look up the stats of this post you'll see the ton of views replies won't come in why because they are all gang members funny thing is some will be shameless enough to come say something here knowing fully well they are aiding this shit.

Sincerely speaking your observation is not wrong but I want to know one thing, are you making emphasis on the LB members or to the LB merit sources because right now the LB merit sources are supposed to answer this question because they have the knife and the goat.

Make I use our naija language talk this one make everybody no too understand am, na we dey do ourselves if not I no understand wetin dey make the whole place dry when everywhere supposed good as the numbers don increase. Make Una wey hold power try get small meeting talk things out because e come be like say when only Brainboss be merit source merit dey flow better than when we don get plenty merit source. Big respect to Op for speaking out.

It goes well as nah merit source the raise this matter because if nah one small newbie now, nah plenty stones for some touch him skin. Till today I still the marvel how Oga CryptopreneurBrainboss been the do am way merits distribution from for the LB the go round touch both big and small in as much as your  post make quality touch. But now we have if not more than 4 merit sources but it be like the LB no get  sources at all.  @CryptopreneurBrainboss  nah man you be!

I know some merits sources way from our LB way the do giveaways of merits for general boards than doing that to quality posts in the LB as a way to encourage more quality.  I no go call name but Una knows Una sefs.

 People don really use this local board cash out on their ambition well well but when e reach to share the cake go round plenty clauses go com in.

Cow way no get tail, na God the drive am flies.

Edit:

@Mia Chloe, Wen you dey talk about the dirty way dey our house  make Una try the write for pidgin. No be only our house dirty pass. E get why I had to bring this to ur attention.

The smerit is not enough at all for me. I did not know when I exhausted my smerits as I was giving more than 10 people merits when I became a merit source. I also saw some posts but I can not do up to what I am not capable of. My merit allocation got exhausted within 5 or 6 days, I was only distributing the one that I earned and I am currently at zero smerits in total.

OP let's call a spade 'a spade' your observations are not wrong, but should we keep up with the complaints without a solution? We are Nigerians and most of us here are still in our youthful age, it is the collective responsibility of everyone to make the local board better, I know that it's not easy to completely evacuate those with ill feelings and ulterior motives in the local board but however, nobody is a saint as we have our individual shortcomings in one way or the other, we are not perfect in this local board same as other locals. Few weeks ago I saw a thread where a merit source reported a member of his local board on why he questioned his style of meriting which is to say that as humans we will continue to disagree and agree. We are growing larger, let us focus on building a formidable force in the local board such that we will be envied by other local boards. I think it's high time we focused on other things rather than Merit issues. I have seen your merit history, it is evident that you are unbiased and I encourage you to continue. "A good name is better than great riches", I believe you were made a merit source due to your generosity in giving merits to posts with quality not only in the local board but the forum at large. Remember the merit system is not moderated hence we don't have to question anyone on how they spend their source merits and their smerits.

This observation you bring nah on point make I no lie. This issue of disbursing merits to relevant posts for the local board no be today e come up and if we dey honest, I believe say nah one of the reasons why more sources receive approval for this place.
I agree say the allocation no plenty but the little you get suppose touch your small Jerusalem first because charity nah pikin begins at home but wetin I observe nah say these merits dey usually abound for other places and sometimes to users wey be get am plenty too.
 
I know say if we wan look into the reason why merits no dey flow like e dey always do for here, one of them go be say quality posts no dey much but I disagree. I don also notice say nah mainly because the merits no dey too flow like that for here nah make e come look like much effort no dey too show here because nah where sugar dey, ant dey full.

I also like as nah merit source raise this matter up because if nah another person observe am, wetin you go see as replies nah " this person dey fish for merits".
Wetin @GiftedMan talk nah true. Make we dey also try dey push ourselves forward because encouragements like merit giving for a quality post go make the user dey happy to know say him posts dey make sense and e go give am drive go do better.

Op speaking out is good, because if I was in your shoe, I will do the same thing. Where merit sources are up to the numbers we have in this Lb, and it's now observed that only one person is giving out, the person will feel disappointed. I will keep saying it, what belong to everyone should be shared to the people. Allowing greed to set in will corrupt the system totally. Because I can't be the only source giving and others are not giving that source will feel cheated.

We don't say sources, give us 100% of your allocation to the community, we know as humans, we might have personal agendas and loyalists to settle. You can do 60/40 or 50/50. At least let it be visible that you sources are giving out merits freely and not just one person or doing it as the OP alledgedly pointed out. And Nigerian local board merit sources should try and spend their their allocated sMerits on our local board alone, and not take it elsewhere. Especially to those that were made local board merit sources. Not to go spend it outside and come tell us here that sMerits has finished. The OP voiced out because he love the local board and wants us to do better. He would have kept quiet if he doesn't want the best this local board.

Make I ask o, is this your post directed to your fellow merit sources or to the average fellow country man like me that is struggling to survive on him own, no rich relative, no political relation and no brother wey be merit source or friend to a merit source? If you know wetin ordinary Nigerians like me dey go through to sustain one account and stay for campaign wey them dey use microscope take dey look our merits once once, u go pity us and you no go imagine this your farm account statement come our side. Untop that, my left ear dey tell me say e be like you dey use style dey address some people sha.

I know say you no go wan mention name, if not I for like make you call person wey you feel say him get merit and instead of giving it to the poor decide to use am farm account as you talk... if your clear eye no go give you the morale, take one bottle make we settle this thing once and for all.

Meanwhile, make we no start problem for this our jungle make we no start wetin go later bring outsiders to come judge us come dey tell us say we not fit rule ourselves.

I would say you shouldn’t have to close the discussion like you did in the first statement in this quote. Understanding that there are different views and sides to an argument would really help us to understand better what might be at play.
I can’t claim to know or see the same, what do I know, I have only managed to get along here but, I have to speak from the stands of living an argument open as having to drop that ruling would only create a biased or filtered response from forum users and that would mean, we don’t get the best of solution which is a problem of its kind.

Every human has a side to them that makes us self centered, self sufficient and act in ways that only us might find reasonable. The difference is, some people have more than others and we hope we see how this could negatively impact us one day for a change.

Charles_Tim bia come here na which time you take send your merit give people finish and then Mia Chloe no he only you be the first person wey dem give merit source to dey come talk this nonsense here.

Go and check Pakistan, Italian and other local board make you see their merit source dey do, u come dey shield urself by talking this nonsense.. evil man or woman claiming to be Saint.

What do we make of this reply and does it mean you are the only user in this LB that doesn't say trash?. Each of us are unique here, if you pass person for Bitcoin technical, the person fit pass you for politics or economics. You don't just categorize everyone as trash because they cannot read or write codes. Even Satoshi no talk say na only those wey fit write code go use Bitcoin if not there won't be need to aspire for adoption of Bitcoin in all  facets of life. So reduce your subtle attack on people with this your trash statement if you really want to have a healthy conversation with people.

Like I said, be bold to mention names so we can have conversations like brothers and sister and not having the boldness to do that yet feeling all Holy and righteous.

If people are viewing without responding, they are probably avoiding being called trash by holy and self-righteous Mia Chloe. Make we dey calm down small, life no begin and end in Bitcointalk.

Na why I talk for my earlier comment say, the ruling way you give in the beginning go make people no really speak their mind. People no dey wan openly be bad person or look like bad person o. That no still mean say, the other people na em better pass or you dey right even.

No need to dey emotional my country person, na we we dey here, you fit call person out but, do am in a way e go push for intelligent discussion no be something way go wan provoke person. I no be any of this people way you mention and I like the bold move but e get how you go do am, e go dey out of place and make people dey defensive rather than to come reason with you/us.

Then you better stop creating thread that's if no use to the local board.
If you actually think so, why did you apply for the local board merit source in the first place?
If you just dey know now, then tell the person way grant your merits source approval say you no want again.
And what makes you think so?
If really na waytin you dey think since na be say you dey part of them too.
When I check your merit history I see where you give person 22 merits at ones (funny) 🤣 for your mind you be "Merlin" way you go give person 22 merits for inside 50 merits way them dey give you to distribute monthly. The rubbish you go talk be say that one nah quality post (of which i don't give a fuck). And I no doubt am.
Anyway that nah your concern because I don't give a fuck about you guys.
You can be like the white witches and the wizards, even if you try, they will denie you.

Bra take it or leave it.

Before I forget, don't even try to lock this thread like you did on the other trash you made some days ago. Keep it open.

I laughed out loud when I saw this thread, I don't know why you're pissed caused left for me I see your post as a pot calling a kettle black, you're not different from them cause the very first week you were granted the opportunity of a merit source, pride took over you and you went on to say trash about your very own people, feeling like the best poster in this board when your not, take a chill pill bro you acted like a Nigeria politician I know "Nyesom Wike" and you need to work on your pride please.
 Calling someone who's a Hero Member a trash posters is so suprising, how would the person had got to that point lately when merits is scarce, mostly in our LB if he's a thrash poster or did he steal the merits from you? Think about it, their are two things i noticed you're good at, backlashing Nigerians and creating unnecessary topics here, I stated earlier that you're not better than others so my advice is that you change your ways too and learn from the very best (CryptopreneurBrainboss) then you'll win the heart of many Nigerian's here, just a friendly advice I hope it sinks deep.

There was no need to reply Miachloe from your alts guys.. this is a local board discussion... Except you are guilty of what he is saying, you should be free to sit your opinion.. the idea is that people are watching, you all might feel that what he's saying makes no sense, but it would be bad to always have thread raised against Nigerian board members on reputation about breaking forum rules or cheating with alts .. let's just be guided..

Miachloe, I understand your concern, but I don't think much can be changed here. You can't always take away a gang without knowing the heads. The forum on its own is quite filled with many merit quads, but the highest number of them are on localbaords and not just the Naija local board, but all others.

The only thing I know is that niaja board does theirs without considering the fact that they can be caught by other forum members and questioned. At least we should be united, no one cares if you own a merit farm or squad, just don't be partial when giving out merits to the local boards.. I know someone would as we come to ask me to prove what I'm saying, but please don't... I have a lot of things to back my words and I don't want to do that honestly... My point is you all should be united both old, new high ranked, merit source and the general localbaord..

If you did go through his profile you should be aware that as for the month of June Mia Chloe earned 65 merits from non Nigerians which gives him about 30+ smerits. If you learn how to earn merits, then you should know how to spend your smerit, from looking at his profile Mia Chloe isn't depending on his source before disbursing merits, let's be frank on this aspect. OP sendables from earning originally outside the board is near to equal what he gets as a merit source.

I have a general question for the board , if I create a gang and begin to get bias in merit sending and Charles-Tim and other merit sources do same how will the board grow? Everyone is trying as much as possible to stay away from this thread simply because it's the truth and 80% or more are guilty of what I'm saying. It's a shame no one can defend a fellow local board member here because the person bursting is saying the truth.

Some were cowardice enough to use alts to say the trash they can't say with their main accounts because they are guilty of all these. You speak of other local boards when they support literally everyone of their members as LB should be a safe haven but here if you are not in a gang in likely port Harcourt you can't rank on the LB.

The clown saying I sent 22 merits to a post I dare you to bring two of your posts as good as that if you won't get that same merit from me. It's so disgusting that you guys know the truth but you are simply aiding and abating a lie.

Mia gives out merit evenly and all that goes a gang how effective is the cycle that way? Anytime a topic about merit is raised you all quickly refer to merit sources forgetting you too have a role to play in the merit cycle.

Take a look at BPIP it's a shame not up to 5 Nigerians are there as top members. Those that manage to thrive do so outside the board because here cartels have eaten in so deep. Take a look at an average Nigerian account here you will most likely see a tagging saying it's an alt or farm those at the top including me cannot fight for a fellow Nigerian knowing fully well it's most likely true.

Those making examples with other boards, how many times have you seen a russian or German or Italian tagged? Are you saying they don't help themselves? Of course they do but they let the growth reach all but here it's a different case. Those who benefit from the shitty system see it as peak.

Oga relax. No be you I dey talk to.
Abi you sef support say nah only Mia Chloe dey make quality post for the local board? Mr man, no dey fine favor from this guy because em no send you at all. You dey make comment for the local board, but how many times Mia Chloe done merit you? Abi you no follow for those way em dey call quality poster?

This is a very new month, I d surprised sae we are coming into it with negative energy of wetin no supposed be.

For years, so many of us have being in this forum, posting in our LB on a reg even with or without merits(CryptopreneurBrainboss being of big help as the only merit source). Nobody wey call out em fellow Nigerians for any ugly attitude of whatsoever. All of us just d, d share ideas and information to one another without any gbasa gbos.

It pains my heart sae, this kind of issue is being raised, and some kind wordings don d enter am causing misunderstanding, which no supposed to be so. As I d now, I no fit raised a topic wey I know sae em go cause different negative opinions give our LB cos I already I know sae no be only Nigerians d visit our forum, others d put eyes.

OP, how do you want them(people wey d visit our LB) to react to this? Is it for them to mark us all as ''dam bias people in sending and receiving merits" as you take call out all of us to be like(from head to toes).

This makes me to ask, can other LB members categorically say this that their own local board they are building for years is damn bias in sending and receiving merits, knowing fully well that, em get reputable members wey full for their LB.

At times make we watch wetin we d talk cause no be only Nigerians d visit our LB. Others d visit. To me, em d too early make we start to d bring up ourselves in a manner wey other LB members go hear am, dem go begin use am against us. I believe sae, none of us wan see him brother or sister down. Abegy make love leads.

People grew without any of those people you think, there is nobody that is God here so stop feeling like one. I have earned my merits genuinely so I can boast about that. Check Bpip and see my merit history. If you think everyone must lick the ass of those of you that are merit sources, you better think again. Calling me trash is annoying and disrespectful and until you apologise and come down from your high horse, you will never make sense. You don't go about insulting people and making them feel stupid and expect them to understand the point you are making.


I don't have a problem with you neither do I have a problem with anyone, I'm only advising you to stop calling people trash and stop feeling like you have reached the peak of life. There is a world and life outside this forum. Personally, I have made so many loyal and trusted friends both local and international through this forum and such friendships are built on mutual respect and not lord-and-master relationship.

Meanwhile drop one merit on this post let me benefit from your source merit first before anything.

Most of them don't get tagged because their languages are not easily understood by the others and in their local boards, they don't blow whistles like you've done here. Sincerely we are our own problems, we fuck ourselves up, expose ourselves without trying to reach out and address things off the forum. Do you know that it is possible these guys you are calling saints does most of their communications outside the forum and only return to the forum to demonstrate their unity? You believe there are gangs, then meet the gangs off forum and try to fix things up so that they can do better in the forum.

I would bluntly tell you and all merit sources that the reason you guys think the members are no meeting up with your expectations is that there is not enough flow of merits here in the LB, Starting from you guys. Mia you are trying seriously, I have even tasted your generosity both here in the LB and on the general boards, I personally wished your allocation was bigger than the others approved at the same time as you because I perceive you as more generous and unbiased. This issue concerns our LB and we have to treat it locally and not best here in the forum.

I have a proposition. Your allocations are limited and if you merit sources for a start can do a 5-month experiment from now to the end of this year, you'll see changes and that is Keeping at least 60% of your source allocations, not your earned sMerits here in the local board and distribute it_{That would mean over 150 merits dedicated for the LB from the sources}. I tell you that if LB members see that it is flowing more, everybody would want to support the moving train since you know that the merit sources are more committed to the LB, thereby seeing here as a growing environment.


Ever wondered why you see everyone hailing CryptopreneurBrainboss? It is because even with his limited allocation, it goes round on a steady and he is unquestionably the most dedicated merit source to the LB. This is a call for more dedication to the LB both from the merit sources and the members at large.

Finally, Mia you need to observe good netiquette when expressing yourself online. You do not just lash out at people because you are angry, it is good to mince words so as to appear learned, I love Hatchy's words, he was pained, but he managed to conceal it in some heavy, but effective words. I also think it is time you create threads to encourage this LB members and in it state your recommendations to achieve a better LB rather than being the harsh sheriff.

Op said he don't have merit from his source merit 😆 then another dude came out to say he also distribute all his source merit..
My question be say, them done distribute merits for the local board and em still dey talk say Dem dey see enough post to merit? WTF? 😂
Mia Chloe AKA Mr Merlin abi na 4 technical board you go spend am?

Speaking from another person way dey post for local board but Mia Chloe never merit an before

My broda na you just express the truth as it is about the way op take address this issue. The expression no mature of someone like am. There's a way person go wan talk something very important but the manner him take put am out go make him whole point appear irrational and unacceptable. And na just wetin op do now.

No body way no want the betterment of the his our LB just as the op, and that's why issues like this as him take talk am go rather than make us good name dey instead spoil our name outside because no be outsiders the come this our local board to check wetin the sup. And imagine the eye then go use assess us after reading all those things way Mia Chloe vomit out of anga.

Only this matter go just show to our visitors say unity no dey for this our board dey way then the look am, na just pretend every man the pretend, if not, how then way be merit sources no fit align and design a channel then go use the communicate and work out issues as it affects the local board. Because if them no untie there's no way those way the loyal to their government go unite inside this LB because matters arising as discussed one fit still burst out.

Op, abeg lock dis your thread, make e die down. Mk Una find another way solve this matter u raise.

No dey carry everything play my gee, na serious matter we dey so and e go good make we no carry our mind comot from am. You dey mock OP and me sef no like am. Make you use your head_{If say you dey use your main account, you no go dey jonze like this, abi you dey fear person for this place wey make you wear mask of a newbie?}. I go advise make you use your main account dey knack reply here, make all of us join hands straighten this matter, this your trolling no dey help matter at all, e dey make am worse.

If you get solution, carry your real identity bring am come table make everybody chook mouth for am. I go fit swear say you no be newbie at all.

Oga go rest... I no dey talk dis talk am e sweet you.

Abeg, with the way this discussion dey go for this thread I really no like am, because if an outsider come choke eye for some things wey people don talk here, eh no go really speak good about this our local board wey we all don collectively make sure eh exist for this forum. So abeg, my sincere advice to our new merit sources be say, please no body been forced una before applying to become merit source, and when una been apply, una no been apply to force people to send their smerits, even though it's worth doing, so I go advice make una just comot mind for there, and do the exact job you applied for, which is meriting posts that deserves to be merited, and since una allocation is very small, I go also advice if una wan send merit to person, make una no send more than 5 at once, to avoid suspicion from other forum members who might feel left behind."[/b]  

Because unfortunately, I'm happy I was lucky to have been on this forum when we never had a local board, and even when we had and cryptoprenuerbrainboss was just the only merit source we had, you will notice everything was going smoothly. He never created a thread discussing why people where not sending their merits, but yet did his job professionally by distributing at least 1 or 2 merits to every quality post he came across So abeg, make una do una job and avoid too much complaining. Because if una no send huge amount of merit worth suspecting, nobody go talk.

@Mia Chloe, your observations are valid. But people might stay away from the thread because of your choice of words. I have never told my young children that they are talking trash. I might have a bad day if I am addressed in that manner.

@Odohu accept my apologies, you earned your rank in Bitcointalk.

This thread dey remind me of this picture

Greed, pride and tribalism/sectionalism na the wahala wey we dey see for Naija. My friend tell say me that the ogbonge asset you fit give your pikin for Naija no bi money, real estate, or stocks, but na passport of another country.

E go good make you speak for yourself. Fine,  oga Brainboss dey give merits but no make am look like nah very steady something else we for no see need to ask for more sources. Last last we for protest make them increase him allocation. Make I tell you something, dis issue nah very painful one and e dey pain say the Op raise valid point but choose to add insult inside.

Leave say nah forum wey we dey, some of us fit no be mate, no be because of say mata pain you, you carry dey lash out give everybody and the main intent of the post don dey forgotten.
Mia, if you want to be brazen and fearless, remember that your accusations would only hold weight if you call out those you feel are trading merits with evidence. Make we know say you wan naked us finish all in the name of seeking the good of the local board.

Mia Chloe, by now I had expected you to swallow your pride and lock this thread by now and commune with yourself about the advises that have been given to you. Accepting that you presented the right thing in a wrong manner of approach. People plenty here way Snr you both for this forum and for normal age. It doesn't make sense you wake up every now and then to insult the very local board members that gave you all the support you needed to grow at different points in the forum.

If community cook for you, you no go fit chop am oh. But if you cook for community, community go finish am one hand. So bro, lock this thread and change your narrative about the very local board that you grew from. No leader has gotten the support of his people by taking this path you dey want take towards your own people.

How wish you really know how men agitated, nag, press button and do everything necessary to make sure say we earn our own LB , if you really get the gist well, you no go the pur am spit thinking say you're helping it.

Na my last advise to you be this as PH man wey support you wen you been apply for merit source. Same pH you dey pur spit today  ;D but no wam.

I dey very sure say if sir brainboss source merits been high we for no request for more merit source for dis our local board. But luckily for us, we see people apply and we support dem because we think say dem go do like sir brainboss, but after everything wahala begin arise.

Mia, if you actually  get something for your mind, just talk am out in pidgin instead of to dey beat around the bush. I read all your comments and is like you get something way you actually won talk but no just know how to spit am out. I no no wether you get children for your house but if really you get, nah like this you take they talk to them if them dey do things you no like?

I believe say you na guy, e get as you go take talk for street, you and street boys no get problems. This local board get grown people and you have to talk to people in a way they should understand. If you fit call your household bias watin you expect outsiders to call am? Try make amends because e go help, I no dey the beginning of local board but I read from hatchy thread and e go bad if you use your hand spoil local board way people done build from the beginning.

U mention something about port Harcourt gangs of which I dey sure say e fit no dey exist or dey exist, so you dey mean say if the forum unite like the port Harcourt gangs e go bad?

You fit read this post with bad tone but that no be my concern, but Abeg try to amend the way you adress people for public..

Proposition is not the problem. I can give to you more merit if you make good posts at least a thread that sends some information. You should then give those merits back to the community. Not to specific people. 

I called your post trash simply because you were insinuating that I throw stones which is wrong. I'm instancing on a United board no one that some benefit and others don't. Same way you find my comment offensive was same way I found yours. take a look at those using alts to cuss ? Would you condone such.

Firstly don't talk about age because you would only be speculating secondly the local board did not support me in my growth on this forum and it's very obvious. You should not paint the story. You have a tag right? Did you farm an account? Then why can't the LB help ? Because there is no unity just some benefiting and others put aside.

Since I joined this forum till I crossed 1000 merits Nigerians haven't contributed up to 30% of my earned merit.

As for the cusses I apologise if I sounded offensive. There are 2 sets of people on this thread : those that are wanting support from the board and trying to play safe and those that have so much benefited that they see cheating as normal.

Do you think I want to take my smerits else where? You don't even need to make technical posts to earn merit just do something meaningful.

You made an appreciation thread for the board recently how did they support? Do you think I can't send more merits than I sent to you post? But why didn't I because I know they will assume I know you off forum. Based on your stay on the local board and contributions for years you ought to be legendary not just you but many others however because of the way the board is you are still lacking merits.

It's simple let the LB unite not actually based on know you basis

First, I will start by saying that many people (both source merit and non source) on the forum is biased in terms of awarding merits, not on this local board but generally.

Since I joined the forum and got to know about the merit system, I have observed that many (source and non source) people are sentimental, biased and political in terms of awarding merits.  I had a long list of unworthy post that got packs of merits, ranging from general boards to local board and my purpose of gradually making up that list was to create a thread to show how biased a lot of members (that you would say they are reputable) on the forum distribute merit to post that doesn't really give any help to anyone. What happened was that i don't know how the kids (my aunts kids us my phone to play games) around me uninstalled my note book app where I was dropping the links of those post and it disrupted my plan of raising that thread. 

The weird thing that motivated me to want to raise that topic on the general board was after I saw a thread where a member ask a question, stating, "who knows what tomorrow would be? " Someone dropped a comment and said "tomorrow would be [mention any days of the week] and he got merited. But that's in the past now since I can not find all of those thread and post again to still create the thread.

If I remember correctly, some thread with the kind of idea regarding how biased merit distribution is done has been raised before on the meta board, I just can not find the thread again, but if you are good in searching through the forum, you will find it. So, here you are making same observation on our local board and trying to encourage the merit distribution to be more faire instead of biased.

 In the early time while I was very active on the board, I have awarded merit to post that I find helpful or to members that had quality in their post but are low rank and deserve to grow too and I have received merit on some of thepost I made here which I believe anyone that merited the post found it helpful too (now, I don't have so much smerit to share here and I don't actively read here as before).

On this board, as on the general board too, there will always be sentiment in sending merits because some of people here on the forum not just this local board, have a close or long distance relationship and they know each others one on one, so they can decide to send merit to their friend due to familiarity or friendship sake, don't get it wrong, cuz I know you might want to say or ask if you should also/only send your merit to your friends or gang.

The question is, if i know Mr. "A" One on one and I don't know Mr. "B" Physically, but this two people make quality post but because 'A' is my friend, I usually look out for any of his quality & helpful post and I give merit to it, do you think it's bad to give merit to his post if those post are really quality and worth the merit? (Note that am not a merit source).

You made mention of our local board having about 5 merit source, I know that brainboss have been the only merit source on this board and you know that it's not every quality post he can see to merit, owning to the fact that he might have a life outside this forum too, he could miss to read some pages, yeah. To call a spade a spade, one merit source can not see everything. I don't know if before now there were more than 1 merit source apart from brainboss but even while he was just the only source merit in the Nigeria board, he tried to distribute his smerit fairly, I have tracked his merit history many times.

 I think Igebots is also a merit source and I think I have come across a thread he created for people that are close to their next rank to apply their and he will give them the complete merit to rank up, maybe that's how he choose to distribute his merit and few times I still see some thread he merit too.

About the rest of the 4 merit source, I don't know how long they started to be a source but I know that there were few members of the Nigerian board, including you that were just approved by forum admin recently (just last month) as a source merit, and I guess that the allocation they gave to you guys is not enough to reach all the quality post on the local board, since some of you are too generous to award 5, 10, or 15 merit at once, so I guess the Smerits was exhausted too quickly without reaching every good post.

And, some of this merit source might be a member of this local board but were not made merit source of the Nigeria local board. Why did I say so...? I remember I read your comment somewhere and you said that you were not made a source of this Local board and so you can choose to share your Smerit to any board. How about others, are they really source of this board too?

If really they are, and you too, you guys can talk to each other via DM and agree on how to work things out to make the board move forward in terms of the merit distribution and other things that can benefit the house. I already saw some threads and comments that you gave meirted on this board, keep up the work and don't think you are not noticed by anyone who is observing by didn't say it.

If this other merit source who were approved last month have already spent their allocations for last month, today is a fresh month (July) and there will be allocations, so hopefully those posts you are talking about will be merited (just saying tho).

If I'm to defend the merit sources, maybe they are lazy or have other activities that has stopped them from reading all the threads and find those quality post to merit. You said and I quote, " I've been surfing around just to keep an eye on some deserving posts when my source gets refilled and I can see really good posts abandoned" Maybe other source merit don't have too much time to surf the forum in search of good post.

Another thing is that, every merit source are different individuals and they have different sense of reasoning. Merit source 'X' might see a post and condemn the quality or assume that the post is not helpful to anyone but another merit source 'z' could end up meriting the post because he found it quality based on his own criteria of rating good post.

When I joined the forum new, there was a merit source who normally asked members to send him a PM of the boards that they normally make comments on, I didn't benefit from that source merit but many people did. They will send him pm and he will review their post on those boads and send merit to them, but I think he stop due to the high level of farmed account as they claimed. The point am trying to make here is that, there are methods in which source can use to award merit to quality post on this board.

The merit system being biased is not just a local board problem, farm accounts is not just a local board problem, but I would still like to discourage our people here towards doing such and let the right thing be done. Merit should not only be given based sentiment.

Happy new month...

I am not just speculating, this isn't the first time you have been throwing tantrums instead of modestly making your points out which would have been well embraced than what we're getting here. A matured mind doesn't throw tantrums like you do. Maybe you could be older in age but not in mind.

"secondly the local board did not support me in my growth on this forum and it's very obvious",  You're not the first to be saying this, which you may be wrong to say so. But I want to ask, is it ghosts from the Naija LB that gave you support in your merit source application thread? Well, you have your conscience to judge there, except all you think about support is when merit is involved. Anyways, na only for this our LB we dey see merit sources make such statements about the LB never being a part of their growth.

Can you please explain more to me how does my tag got to do with the LB?  And what were you expecting the LB to do? Please man educate me on that.

I love the fact that you wish to speak up for issues that aren't going right in the LB but you failing to accept it that you're doing it the wrong way. Advise no be curse.

Is that all you got? bring it on!!
