OP, Its all well and good making a list like this, the reality is though its not going to change.

Like anything in life you have to be in the right place at the right time. These guys were here before you so thats just the way it is. We don't have to agree, but you have to be realistic and accept that they were here before you and before the rule change so if it was fair then, its fair now.

Nobody is keeping you here and nobody is stopping you from leaving.

The fact that you dont have any Merit tells its own story. You are here simply for money/bounties etc and dont want to participate until you want to moan about the system. Only one person can make a change and thats you.

I've just sent you my remaining one sMerit to give for quality posters. It's nice to know that even you had noticed that we still need more Merit Sources and I do agree with that as well. Actually, I have seen a lot of good posts lately but since I don't have enough merits to give, I just gave a few of them as I'm saving my sMerits for those members who will need it a lot (Although you didn't need my last Merit, I still gave it to you  ). It only shows that sources are not enough and it is still difficult for them to locate those quality posts.
 they should improve their selves. They are only making a single thread where they can possibly receive Merits and then continue spamming again.

No it's not, actually it's pretty Fair. You know why? Because out of those 2 million users, there is only about 5 to 10% (I guess) who are quality posters and deserves to get Merits. If it's too exaggerated, then make it 15% or whatever you like but my main point is, over 70% of users here in Bitcointalk doesn't deserve Merits as they only make post to earn money and those posts they make are totally trash. So what are you complaining about? Don't even say that Merit Sources are not doing their responsibility just because they only distribute merit to a few number of people because, can we blame them if they can't find many quality posters?

@juiced resolved the fourth riddle on telegram
For more details on his research work I let you read (Telegram/Discord/Facebook)

To summarize the answer to the fourth riddle.
We had in the fisrt hint the x-rays that revolutionized the medical field discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen.
The hexadecimal points to this link bit.ly/eFf3c. Link that shows us, the Doppler effect in practice. Discovered by Christian Doppler.
Third hint was a password locked archive hidden on our website. The password was as follows: RontgenDoppler
Once this archive opened it let appear an image of the constelation of the Cignus with surrounded in red the zone where it finds Cignus X 1 (the space is great excused for the lack of precision).

Cignux X 1 is a black hole discovered by a group of researchers (Charles Thomas Bolton). To discover it they observed a strong emanation of x-ray around a star. That emanation didn't make sense. Doppler technology and light variations proved that this star turned in a few days around something then unobservable emanating a lot of x-rays. This is the first time that the existence of a black hole has been proven. Until then it was a hypothetical phenomenon.
The meaning 1 + 1 = 3 : x-ray + doppler = proof of the existence of a black hole !

Juiced you win 9000 CTY + 2*1000 CTY = 11000 CTY for the two hint you shared with the comunity
Congratulations again on your research work. Stay tuned for the next riddle.

Ofcourse you do need one mate, this is the only proof that you're not here to spam the entire forum unless it is that you've been doing.  It is a proof that you're quality poster.

And also you need one to rank up. Nobody here just want to be stuck with their ranks forever? If someone else does they're shitposters and in fact they will never rank up.

Merit System doesn't need any improvements, actually these accounts you've provided are perfect proof that the Merit System is working according to plan. They doesn't receive any Merits yet because they don't make any good and quality post/threads just like you IMHO. At first, I thought reading this thread is something that will catch my interest but reading furthermore, it's just a thread complaining about Merit, the difference is you've just added some information that will cover your real objective, and it is to complain.

I'm not underestimating users who can't receive Merits, because I still believe that by just improving themselves a little, they will surely start to gain Merits like other members. The only problem is they don't care about the quality of posts, so the Merit will still stay away from them.

How about lock this thread if you don't receive at least 2 Merits within 48 hours?
Wishing you luck to find someone who will be interested to help you complain about Merit System.

Wow, such analysis, much wow. I think it's shows that Merit system really works. You analysed one spammy thread. And these users got only airdroped Merits according to their rank, they didn't managed to earn any real Merits in 7 months. Why they didn't earned? Because they are making low quality posts  in spam megathreads. Why someone should Merit their posts? I would predict that mostly of these users still don't even know that Merit system exists because they haven't spent any of their sMerit. Shortly, these users not deserved to rank up. They didn't got Merit not because it's too difficult to earn it, they didn't got it because they are spammers.

I've underlined the part of the statement that I agree with. The rest I don't agree with.

Show me the quality posts that deserve merit and didn't get it.

and meet my criteria:

I'm not a merit source but my meriting criteria is:

1) I avoid meriting posts that talk about merit (exceptions are occasionally made).
2) I check poster history for regular bounty or advertising shitposts. (Merit is to reduce low quality posts)
3) Is the post of sufficient quality to deserve merit ? Funny, unique, informative, helpful and well intended ? (not merit begging)

The people who want merit generally are the ones that shitpost in bounties.

It is not hard to earn merit. You only have to make a couple of good posts that keep on getting merit.

Satoshi is an example of where a user doesn't even have to log onto the forum for years and still get merit.

Hail the movement of decentralisation.  

1. How are you different from these people, except that you registered late and did not have time to fill enough activity?

2. Why keep track of users who last visited the forum in April?

3. I would understand if you posted links to accounts that received exactly 100 Merit or exactly 250 Merit (not airdrop, but from other users), and then for a long time did not earn any 1 Merit. Perhaps it would be interesting...

No we don't need morer merit sources, we need better posters, and an easier way to find them. More merit sources is unlikely to increase the number of members receiving merits, but it could mean that the existing good posters receive more merits.

I'm having to make some broad brush decisions to reduce the time I spend looking for decent posts. For example, anyone who uses all capitals in a thread title goes straight on ignore, and the thread never gets opened again by me. It's a pretty general statement, but in my opinion, anyone who uses all capitals is juvenile, and is unlikely to have anything interesting to say.

Edit: Ok, I understood from a post of your's in another thread what you ment: Those users have not gained any merit since the airdrop. There are tens of thousands of these cases, so why focus on a few ?

You just prove to us that this thread is also one of the trash thread that complain about the merit system.

They are so lucky you are right, but there's nothing we can do about that, the system is already implemented that way.


Why you only track those high members that dont get the merit system since the implementation? Why dont track all the users already registered before the system?

Is that because it Includes you to the list that REGISTERED MEMBERS BEFORE THE MERIT SYSTEM WHO DONT MANAGE TO GET EVEN 1 MERIT SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION?

There is no difference between you and those on your list aside from they are luckier than you or even us because they already here for a long time and I think its a fair reward for their existence in the forum before the merit system.

If it is true all the Legendary members should have earned more merits than all other members.

When I am looking to your post history it is more obvious why that you're not getting any merits. Almost all the posts that you have posted were in ANN threads. I think it's better to avoid those threads if you're really want to earn merits and contribute to other members by sharing your knowledge and post your suggestions for valuable discussions. After making so many posts in ANN threads then you're trying to blame the system by posting here and also making a thread in Meta too. I think you and you only to be blamed rather than the system.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

I feel like some most of the users on that list, have the amount of merit that was airdropped. IIrc we are 200 activity in from when merit was introduced.
 
So a senior member with anything over 450 for activity and 250 likely hasn't received a merit but had reached the rank prior to the system.

Maybe I misunderstand what you are calling out here.
