Title: Yes, it's clickbait. I didn't say you're getting free merits, did I?
Post by: suchmoon on September 17, 2018, 11:45:40 PM
NO LONGER ACTIVE. PLEASE USE THIS THREAD INSTEAD: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093271.0




READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE ACTING LEST YOU GET VERY UNDESIRABLE RESULTS.

I have a major pet peeve with the merit system. I often see some disgruntled users complaining that deserving posts don't get merits therefore the system is unfair. But when I ask for examples of such posts I usually hear a cricket chorus in a tumbleweed. So I've decided to stop asking for examples because that's pointless. However just in case I'm wrong about that - keep reading.

First of all, if you're seeing under-merited posts and you don't have enough sMerits to reward those posts then you should apply to become a merit source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0). If you've done that and haven't been appointed yet, or if you're already a merit source and you ran out of sMerits, or if there is some other serious reason that prevents those brilliant posts from receiving merits - keep reading.

Send me a personal message (PM) with a subject "Post deserves merit" and a link to a post that needs merit and a brief explanation why you think so. If I have spare time and spare merits I may review it and decide to merit it.

  • DON'T send me links to your own posts.
  • DO send links to posts of other users.
  • DON'T post requests in this thread.
  • You can send me multiple links but my attention spa... spa?! Sounds fabulous!

tl;dr: Nice try. Read it all.

Don't send me links to posts of your alts. You will get labeled with negative trust for that.

Not a good strategy and not worth the risk I think. There are other threads that offer merits to posters who request it for themselves. The purpose of my thread is to address complaints such as: "I see many deserving posts not getting merit, it's not fair".

"guy" or "gal" does not seem to be a settled matter, and perhaps a sophisticated bot might demonstrate that quantum computing has arrived, as Such.

Yes, you're right, I wasn't politically correct :) I think I use "guy" as default, like in "Hi guys" that I normally say to male, female or mixed groups.

Anyways, if I were to speculate, considering the avatar, I would say she is a "gal" :)

Well, I started this thread after the vote had already ended so it's my own fault for not being funny when it mattered :)

Now im in here because * FREE merits - CLICK HERE!!! *
I really fell for it..  ;D ;D
But since I now got stumbled here, your thread suchmoon will definitely be helpful for those who didn't get any merits but derserves to get some. I will add this to my bookmark as someday I might suggest someone. I hope I get appointed too to become a source but I guess low ranks will never qualify.
