There are many out there who would be the next Satoshi or Vitalik or even you, who can contribute immensely to this great economic revolution and should be given that opportunity even if they don't have the 'necessary resources' to get there in a jiffy.
If you're trying to say a bounty hunter is the next Satoshi then I will disagree with you 99.999% of the time. If they spend their time in useful sections outside of megathreads then they may have potential. Other than that, they're just shitposting.
There are still some way too fucking many high ranking 'shit-posters' (pardon my tongue), who scaled that bridge and had their ranks 'hero-ed'(not epic at all), and while I know that they are carefully being watched, they still have their ways around the system, or don't they?
FTFY. I would estimate that 95% (at least) of Hero+ members post garbage.
The obvious solution is to expand/enforce the administrative responsibilities to include calling bounty managers to do due diligence and report shit posters, having specific ordinances that govern bounty hunting with a specific level of service to the BTT community or the larger crypto-family as a whole. - I'm also afraid that it might centralize this once so 'free' and 'democratic' society - but it's all for the greater good ai.
There's nothing wrong with having rules. We're not made better with having fewer regulations.
If managers cared who was advertising for their campaign, none of them would allow negative-trusted members to participate.
If managers cared about the spam on the forum, none of the bounty threads would reach the ridiculous page lengths that a lot currently do.
If managers cared about post quality, then 30% of the forum would be cleaner. None of the useless, redundant, garbage posts would be accepted and the spammers would have to move on or learn that they would need to increase their quality.
The idea of a ranking/merit system should be one of value, whereby when you see a Hero/Legendary post, it should mean something as priceless as experience and the other ranks should be able to hold such to account.
Exactly. Which is why when newbies come to Bitcointalk and see all the Hero and Legendary members act so inexperienced, it's disheartening.
I should suppose the ideal state of a newbie is someone who is ignorant and wants to learn more about what cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, altcoins, trading and the sorts are all about. And as they learn, they can contribute their own perspectives, and results should be growth not just in activities but also in rank, to be able to establish their well being in the community.
A lot of new members come here just to earn money from bounties. It's sickening.
Practically, a good number of good [informative and educative] posts can catch the eyes of 'meriters', you'd even find merits being wasted on comments that truly add no value. (would love to draw examples here, but no need to be petty).
A lot of this is abuse. It'll eventually dissipate.
