Title: Received 1 merit from Bitcoin Forum!
Post by: khaled0111 on December 02, 2019, 08:26:17 PM
I just checked my last received merits and noticed something weird!
Bitcoin Forum sent me 1 merit for a NA reply!
When I click on the user link it redirects me to my profile page and the link of the merited post (NA) redirects me to bitcointalk home page.
Did any one experience something similar or have an explanation for it?
I suppose it's just a glitch, that's why am reporting it here.

This answers your question:
Thanks to everyone who participated! If you voted in this event, you received 1 merit; if your caption appeared in the first table above, you also received 10, and if your caption appeared only in the second table above, you also received 2.

"(Bitcoin Forum)" is theymos correcting stuff. I called it "deMerit" because I've only seen it take away Merit until now:

I'm curious to know why this happened now!

Update: I received 11 Merit from "Bitcoin Forum". Now I'm even more curious!

I kinda expected something to come out of the caption voting from the way theymos put it, I just had no idea what it would be.

So I got one too, buy my merit total hasn't changed. I've confirmed this by looking at a cached version of my profile page on my phone from about seven hours ago, which shows the same merit total (3036 at time of writing), but was before theymos sent the additional merit.

Anyone else notice the same? Perhaps Loyce has scraped some relevant data to back up my suspicion?



Give it sometime, i also noticed but it changed recently from 946 to 947
Edit: It has just changed. Strange that the "forum" merit took over an hour to be added, whilst normal merits are instant.

Thanks for the clarity, was about asking the same question.

Got 11 merit. Honestly, forgot which captions I submitted because I submitted quite a few.

I did notice this at first, but it seems to have corrected itself in the last few minutes. Seems its now updated for you too as you're now at 3037 without receiving any merit from anyone after "Bitcoin Forum".

Merit shows instantly on posts, but it can take a while to update in your profile and under your avatar.

Yeah, I got one merit and my count just changed a couple of minutes ago after I'd already started reading this thread. 

Me too. I don't want them, feels like cheating :)
Bah, you earned 'em.  And if you get the sMerits as usual, there's more for you to distribute to members who might need merits.  That's the way I see it.  Thanks, Theymos!

I don't even remember posting in that thread to be honest, but whatever.  I'll roll with it.

I got two transactions totaling 11 merit also.  I believe it took a few minutes for my merit count to update.

The merit was from the captain contest that recently ended.


Title: Re: Received 1 merit from Bitcoin Forum!
Post by: TheBeardedBaby on December 02, 2019, 09:31:44 PM
Same here .. 11 merit for Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored? I got two transactions, a single merit and 10 at a time.
BTW the same amount got from theymos for the art competition, once 1 and once 10 merit, I wonder if is somehow related.

@Theymos what did you messed up agian? /jk

BTW nothing in the stats as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=recent

Stop shitposting, read the damn thread ;D

This is way to invisible for those who read. The OP should hang it on the top with HUGE RED LETTERS! ;)

It is strange that the topic is deleted or offlimit. I thought it may be a topic which was moved to a moderator board, which I don't have access?

I recived it too. 10 merits from unknown giver on unknown post.

Today at 08:14:23 PM: 10 from (Bitcoin Forum) for (Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored)

You could say that someone merited my post right before it was deleted. But as a person addicted from BTT i have multiple tabs with bitcointalk opened in my browser. One of those was my bitcointalk profile with 1535 posts and 599 merits.

https://i.imgur.com/Hi73MQt.png

And here are current stats (before this post):

https://i.imgur.com/mOiCZuc.png

As you can see amount of posts did not change. No post was deleted 10 merits was recived out of nowhere.

Edit:
LoyceV put it on the bottom of his post without attracting much attention,
Thanks to suchmoon I read it twice.

IT should have been like this :

To make this post a little less worthless I will add a suggestion to change  "(Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored)" to "contest participant award" to awoid misunderstanding

You get 10 merits if your caption submission was in the top voted. 1 merit if you have voted at all, and 2 merits if its only in the 2nd table. I don't think you get multiples of 10 if you have multiple submissions within the top rated table.

Therefore, the highest amount you could have received is 11 merit from the caption voting contest thingy.


Stop shitposting, read the damn thread ;D
It's actually bewildering how many users don't actually read the discussion at all.

I thought it would be useful to put it at the top of a reply so that users don't keep asking the same question that is all ;). We do have like 3 different threads opened about this though.

It was a pleasant surprise to see 11 merit, thnx @theymos  :D

Nice move by the way, not to announce any reward for reporting captions/voting, so there was no abuse, and only those really interested participated.

following and reading the thread will give you an answer to your question


anyway, you'll get merit if you voted in the caption event(the result of the event (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5206366.0)) theymos launched last month.

Thanks to everyone who participated! If you voted in this event, you received 1 merit; if your caption appeared in the first table above, you also received 10, and if your caption appeared only in the second table above, you also received 2.

That's how meta is useful for forum, LOL. When I checked my received merit history I was surprised, 10 merits from Bitcoin forum. When I clicked on profile I was more surprised because its redirecting to my own profile. So as usual I came on meta and got answer as well. I just wonder to create thread but this thread draw my attention. Thanks OP for create this thread.
