I just quickly gone through with merit dashboard and found out that there are 44 Hero members still didn't sent any sMerit from their initial airdrop of 1000 Merits and also there are 44.133 Merits (around 22K sMerits) hoarding by those 44 Hero Members alone.

This is what I practiced... - Hodling
- Cost avaraging
- Buy the dip
- Lock in profits
- Increasing your position
- Cut your losses
- Balancing your portfolio
- Lock your coins away
It is not a loss until you sell. This is very true when your assets are down and in the red zone, but you there's still the possibility to grow and even make profits, as long as you Hodl.
But sometimes it is smarter if we can sell those coins which were at red zone and focus on another coin to recover your losses quickly. It all depends on how much you analize the market and having ability to find out the exact moments for taking a step to sell or Hodling or even moving towards another profitable coin. Best thing I learned is not to be panicked when the market goes down. |

Fair enough, but theymos has also received 5 Txn. of 50 merits, 1 Txn. of 45 merits, 1 Txn. of 42 merits and 2 Txn. of 40 merits. That means total of 417 merits in just 9 transactions. So if we removed those 417 from 1266, his average of Merit/New post would also reduced from 3.3760 to 2.2640  |

Merit/New Post Toppers so far :  1. gmaxwell [7.1000 Merit per new post] 2. theymos [3.3760 Merit per new post] <...snip...> This johank guy will beat the gmaxwell as well if he continue posting in future  Now he is currently at the position 2 in the Merit/New post toppers list, but not theymos 1. gmaxwell [7.1000 Merit per new post] 2. johank [ 5.6428 Merit per new post] 3. theymos [3.3760 Merit per new post] |

But I disagree about some point because I believe you should handover merit on right place. What do you mean by "right place"? because sometimes it depends from person to person even though theymos encouraged people to sent their sMerits to the posts are objectively high quality. I have seen that some of the members sent their sMerits for useless ANN thread replies, some for just images for making the OP laugh, some for signature campaign bounty threads, some for supporting the merit source application so and so. But most of the members still giving away their sMerits for the posts which truly deserved. For example : You have sent 30 merit for "Nice" comment, nice
I don't believe he deserve 30 merit for this. The post you highlighted is not worthy to be merited, but we can find so many posts, mems getting merited in wall observer thread which actually didn't deserved too. That doesn't mean I justified what QA has been done (since he is a merit source). Simply that thread has its own subculture and its own way of giving away merits whether we liked or not. I think you're worried about the amount (30 for one liner), but we should have talk about the what admin/staff has to be done in order to get back on the wall observer thread to the right track again. On the other hand peoples submitting post on this thread for review. I guesses you are not reading their post, really they deserve or not. Because you sending merit here on his reply. I'm not agreeing with that. How do you know QA is not reading any post (I'm talking about this thread only) and just give merits blindly? Sending merits for reply doesn't mean that he didn't read. BTW he didn't award merits for all the users who applied. For example : I have submitted this post, Exposed scam ICO list by Coolcryptovator. You should review and send merit on submitted post if deserve, should not send on this reply (IMO). You cant just say " You should review and sent merit on submitted post" for an another member specially to the OP who starts this thread. This is his and his idea only like you have done (giving away one merits to the Jr members to rank up which is a good thing) early days in bitcointalk forum. Your words sounds like an order which isn't a good thing. Actually can you point out any member who do you really believed not to be merited in this thread? Because the post that you highlighted is not belong to here and it should be addressed separately (which is already discussing under reputation thread). I have seen that some of the members award merits by looking at their post history also, some members award their merits for the appreciation of the particular member but not the particular post. Maybe QA belong to that some member category which isn't a bad thing at all as far as I see. However there are lots of good contributor better than "nice" comment. Merit is one time spendable you can't return them. So please try to handover on right place. Agreed, but is this the right place to discuss? I'm hoping QA is spent more than enough time in the forum to determine whether the post/poster is good or bad before awarding merits. If some one willing to get merit from here than he will not write any negetive about OP. He will support OP, like you did. You should know about some one before write negetive. You are wrong and I am a member who got merits from QA, but that didn't bothered me to talk about what he has done wrongly by sending merits for just one liner. Don't generalize all the members who got merited from this thread with other merit beggars. Some will find out one or two incidents from large number of merit transactions which done correctly and good manner when they didn't get merited from the OP as well. |

Instead of spamming the forum with nonsense long paragraph of texts, and trying to become look helpful in hope of getting MERIT. Just wondering are you admins allowing people or freelancers to get paid via Merit if the client doesnt have money and can only pay using his Merit? or this will result into an instant ban? Please let us know to avoid violation.
Merits are not tokens neither fiat money to be traded or to be paid for servises. There are so many freelancers nowdays doing paid bumping servises and posting in bitcointalk on behalf of others as their part time job. Imagine what would happen if we allowed to trade merits for those shitty freelancers. They would definitely trade thier merits (earned from freelancing works) for money again. So if we allowed to accept merit as a paying good for freelancer works would mean we are allowing those shitty freelancers to expand their spamming works exponentially in the forum. So, BIG NO for your suggestion. |

A bounty thread continuously bumping thread daily more than 5 page. Today they have bump 6 page. Since I don't have proof they are using paid bumping I have bookmarked it for daily report. Mod could check my report history. Hope mod will handle it.
Since you don't have any proofs how can we expect mods will handle it? It's like you are saying the mods you should trust me they all are paid bumpers ( I only just highlighting the reality and I'm also against those paid shill bumpers) Only we can do is just report to moderatorThey aren't just spamming, they are misleading investors and wasting time of others members who are reporting spam post.
I believed those kind of posts will provide good indicator for investors not getting to be involved with their investments. |

I'm also agreeing with the OP. We all are born with a religious labelled in our ass given by our parents whether we believed that religious concepts or not. Religion shouldn't act as a tool for deviding people. We all are human beings before we get our religious label.
As I can see, having a religion is better than nothing. Because it helps us to become a self- discipline person, but that doesn't mean that we should blindly followed what our religious leaders tells about the concepts of our religion and what written on books. Sometimes there are so many wrongful facts are written in books as well as dummy religious leaders whose worrying about maintaining their power and wealth for just saying God's sake. We should have the ability to choose what is wrong and right.
Religious leaders should guide the people how we should spend a better life without making any disturbences to other people's. If everyone do this simple thing regardless of their religion world will be a far better place than where it now. That's how I see religion.

Can you try for me LoyceV
@LoyceV can you list the users who awarded the most number of merits for the deleted posts?Btw why you specifically chosen Alex_Sr for your list in the OP? Is he the member who has the most merits for the post that are now deleted? I'm somewhat confused to understand whether this number is positive indicator or negative indicator when comparing stats 
I've slowed down a bit recently, as I've got involved in a few associated projects. I'm trying to improve my efficiency in merit awarding, and that is why I started the snow eagle site. You're a great asset for bitcointalk as a merit source and well as a good poster. Don't you think you're pressing too hard when awarding merits? Don't be too complicated and analyse so many variables when awarding Merits just give it after checking whether the member is shitposter or not, whether s/he gives something to the forum and whether the user plagarised the post or not. If unspent Merits will remained with a merit source at the end of a month wouldn't do any good for the forum (at least as I see) |

I don't know why you added these two redundent big images in your post but not just mentioning the users you voted. Members shouldn't use images to just clog the threads.
Sorry OP if I made a off-topic reply, but it has to be stated to avoid these actions. |

But what is relevant is the volume of these two ranks alone in comparison: out of all the merited users on non deleted posts, 43,53% are actually newbies or Jr. Members. Astonishing!
I think bigger portion from this 43,53% comes after the introduction of 1 merit requirement for Jr. Members by theymos at 17 th of September 2018. So if you can devide this percentage in to two parts (after and before the new 1 merit requirement) would give rather accuracy one than this. a) There is a fair share of merited people that have been merited exclusively on later deleted posts (1.249 out of 22.543). I wouldn't be surprised to see that most of the later deleted posts(after got Merited) are surely from Russian board (can you compare those two subsets?) f) Ann Altcoins is the section that most people got their first merit on, regardless on the rank (Russian board aside). I also doubted most of the merited posts in ANN threads are sheer abuse scenarios. If you can analize, you would be able to find out how many times large number of Merits in an one merit transaction occurred in ANN sections only. I don't have the numbers but you have them surely and my guess is highest number of transactions with more than 5,10 or even 50 merits would be from ANN sections.
I'm a member who against the awarding merits for ANN threads and the thread starters of signature campaigns.
Great analysis OP and where/how you got time to do all the analysis? BTW is there any way to use merit dashboard with mobile? because it's still not responsive. It would be great if we can use the merit dashboard on the go with our mobile too |

User: jiniyaakterPlagiarism: ( Archived) Incredibly smart people aren't always born that way, but rather are constantly working to improve their intelligence. Here are 7 ways that you can get smart fast.
1. Focus less on yourself and more on the people around you.
Many people go through life thinking mostly about themselves. Sure, there are truly altruistic people, but most are relatively self-centered. Incredibly smart people understand that it's the people around you that generate support and opportunities, provided you show them your capacity to make it about them. In any given situation, listen first and consider how you can improve the lives of those in your purview. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the positive force you create for your own objectives.
2. Consider yourself the least informed in the room.
When you walk into the room thinking you are the smartest, your mind is closed to infinite possibilities. Incredibly smart people love to position themselves as ignorant. That way they are open to the learning adventure ahead. If you start by thinking that you don't have the right answers, in the best case you'll gain the truth and in the worst case you'll verify your accuracy.
3. Always be questioning.
Many people think they can show their smartness by providing answers all the time. Incredibly smart people know that people can truly assess your intelligence by the questions you ask. The trick is to make sure the questions you ask are truly inquisitive, looking for new answers--not just a ploy to make a statement or get your point across.
4. Look for something new every day.
It's easy to stagnate and get into a rut thinking you have seen it all before. Incredibly smart people know that the world is way too large and too complex to master in a single lifetime. Just the act of looking for one new thing to learn each day will increase your sensitivity to all that you never before considered.
5. Concentrate on the knowledge you lack instead of the knowledge you have.
It's fascinating how seemingly learned people can appear so dense at times. They like to make people think they are smart by readily quoting facts and figures or pontificating over a given subject. But often they lack the nuance that means the difference between competence and brilliance. Incredibly smart people see any obtained knowledge merely as a bridge to learning even more. They know the learning process is a never-ending journey to be enjoyed over a lifetime. Congratulate yourself briefly on each step in the journey, then bear down and learn more.
6. Explore the origin of everything.
Everything, no matter how simple, has a most wondrous story. Incredibly smart people find fascination in the most mundane of items and industries. Explore the world with open eyes and you'll gain incredibly useful knowledge from the most surprising places.
7. Hang out with the smartest people you can comprehend.
For many, it's wonderfully ego-satisfying to be the smartest person in the room. Incredibly smart people prefer to be in the company of those who can share powerful insights. Find people who challenge you and stretch your thinking. The joy of learning far outweighs the praise of being right.
Original:From the time you were little, your parents told you to be smart. Most people want to consider themselves smart; certainly no one likes to feel stupid. But sadly, it's difficult to determine if you were acting smart in a given situation until the time has passed, and of course, then it's too late. This delayed realization is where the physical act of slapping oneself in the forehead originally developed.
Being smart is not just about being intelligent. Lord knows the world has witnessed plenty of intelligent people do really stupid things. Incredibly smart people are also prone to moments of idiocy, but they do tend to act smarter most of the time. Here is how they do it and you can as well.
1. Focus less on yourself and more on the people around you.
Many people go through life thinking mostly about themselves. Sure, there are truly altruistic people, but most are relatively self-centered.

mazdafunsun is the newest Full Member and needed to update the OP

At one point I wanted to get my merit, activity and posts all having the same count. I managed to do it with one of my alts, but I need an extra 4,000 merits to do it with this account.
"ibminer" is an another user who always tries to balance three pillars  I think he is the closest! 
Check this out... RichDaniel is the unluckiest Sr. Member at the moment and only needs one activity to rank up 
Unluckiest Jr.Members at the moment - caporwink , loollex, moonshoot (One activity needed to rank up to Member) |

I'm going to be unable to pick someone today unfortunately. It's more difficult than I expected to narrow it down to one person, so I'm going to need an extra day to do so.

...So my suggestion is locate edt section and preview section side by side. then it will be very easy to reach post and do correction. appreciate your suggestions and already using shortcuts for eliminate this problem.
Good suggestion OP if you're using desktop or tablet but not with mobile. How about something like this?
Hold CTRL + Left-click on the "Preview", then it will open on a new Tab.
Separate the preview Tab from your Editing / Posting window
Then use the "Show windows side by side" option when you right-click on the task bar. That's exactly how I use preview function That's not what actually theymos said about new forum but what he thinks about community suggested new forum policies. Btw I'm a fan of " responsive forum" and @SFR10 why it's so hard to make forum into a resopnsive one?
I already created a thread about " Why can't we build mobile version of Bitcointalk?" because I need some rest for my two thumbs  |
