Your fMerit points are now 934. I really wonder how it change. Sir theymos said that the equation is "simple" but it seems like even my math professor won't be able to solve such a equation like that.
There's something we still didn't know about this new rank requirement. Better to keep updated about it or else I'm gonna missed something.

Well, let's just find out what will happen next. I'm really getting excited about this new system.

Based on your understanding about fMerit. I really don't think that it is the basis of fMerit. So it means that you said something bad about Merit 128 times? And why the hell I have 166 fMerit in my profile? I haven't said anything bad about Merit, Seriously.
Actually, I don't know if guys also noticed it. My fMerit points decreased in unknown reason. Earlier I have 327 fMerits but now I only have 166 fMerit points.

Here's my proof.




Edit. What the   Now its back to 327  
It makes me feel like I really need to find out how the equation works, because I have no idea how it fluctuates (or it is just a bug that's why is decreased earlier).

I think the OP's definition to "Karma" is different to what Sir. theymos want us to understand.

Actually, based on what Sir theymos said.
This "Karma" points are positive feedbacks isn't Sir SRF10?, but the OP's definition to Karma points seems to be a Negative feedback.

Am I right for what I understood about Karma? (My apologies if I'm not).

I think there's no point for Sir theymos to fool us just because today is April 1st. It is just coincidence that he published this new rank requirements today. To those who said that this is just a prank. How do you say so? Because today is April fool? It is not a valid reason.

Instead of treating this as a prank, why don't you try to understand how it works. Don't waste your time fooling around. You guys are the one who are fooling yourselves.  I fully believed that Sir theymos is serious to this new rank requirements, put yourselves together, this thread was not made for fun. Actually we're already spamming the thread. Let's stop this nonsense talk about April fools or something or else this thread will keep flooding with spams. Instead, let talk about how it works. I know all of you are still curious in this new ranking requirements.


(Laugh at me for the rest of my life if I'm mistaken, but I'm sure that this one is not a joke)

Indeed Sir, Indeed.  
Thanks for mentioning us, Filipinos . Even though we're not too good at English,  The word "Respect" comes first whenever we talk to anybody.

By the way Sir. I've just noticed that your name has changed. Well, should I still call you Sir hilariousandco or Sir Sir hilariousandco?
Hehe just kidding, ofcourse I will still call you Sir hilariousandco

Like what Sir theymos said,

If this definition of Virtue did not satisfied you. In my own words, virtue is your morally good behavior. The numbers after it determines your good morality here in the forum. The more virtue points you have, the more good person you are (according to your behavior in this Forum).

Edit.
My apologies Sir. I thought calling "Mr" will only result as one definition, and it is "Respecting", by the way it still is. But I realised that the position of "Sir" is more higher than "Mr". And Sir theymos's position is higher than a Full Member like me. Actually it doesn't matter, as long as you respect a person from the bottom of your heart, calling him/her using any name will be just fine.

By the way I corrected it Sir Luptin   thanks for reminding me.

This is not a joke or something. If you can read Mr. , you will know that this is a new Rank Requirements.
At first, I'm sure that people will really get confused by how this works, but if we try to understand what is the purpose and the goal of this new requirement. Just like Merit, time will pass and we will be able to understand it.

Your quoting failed, and you didn't even bother to correct it.
And also
Your posts will be also removed if that happens. You know what I mean right?

Sorry but I disagree, correcting spelling is really important. If it is not important to you then your just like other spammers here in the Forum. You don't need to use any other apps just to correct your spelling, a simple keyboard with auto correct spelling is enough to correct those wrong spelling of yours.
Yes, you were right, some people are not noticing those wrong spelling words because they are already used to read such a typos. But not because they can understand wrong spellings words doesn't mean that we will keep posting sentences with wrong spellings. It is much better and more understandable if we correct it.

Although we implement this "If the network's IP was already used from registering then it won't be used anymore." people will still find a way to create new accounts for farming. They can use other devices to register new account or even use VPN to protect or hide their IPs.

Actually it is not prohibited to create account using the same IP address. If ever that a certain IP address has been already used to create a account, we will just need to pay a little fee so that we can be able to post using the new account created with the same IP. It is not prohibited to create account as many as you want (as there is no rule about it if I'm not mistaken), the main reason why Moderators restricts us is because we are abusing it too much.
We can freely create accounts if we'd like because it is for free, but because of some exploitative peoples, farmed account existed. Without these abuser peoples, our Forum will be a peaceful Forum for sure.

Sometimes, wrong spelling words can lead to a different meaning and can cause misunderstanding. That's why I agreed to you OP for this one. Correct spelling is really necessary. I'm sure that every one of us here uses Android/ios phones isn't? I'm talking to those people who uses Mobile phones. If you want to prevent incorrect spellings, why don't you use your mobile phone's keyboard's feature which is "Auto Correct Spelling". I'm sure that this will help a lot of people mostly are those who don't speak or write English properly. If your keyboard didn't support this feature then go to appstore/playstore and download a keyboard that supports this function. Solved.

Another problem is, wrong grammar. I understand why some people can't Write English fluently, it is because English is not their first language and it is difficult for them to construct a English sentence. But practicing to construct a English sentence can solve the problem.

Ranking up with Merits System is not that too difficult if your good at making posts.

Here's another Member who is now Full Member, Merit System is not a hindrance to Rank up. I proudly present Mr. iasenko. There is no doubt that this guy will made it to Sr. Member soon as he contributes well in the Forum.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1291828

Every people has their own mission why they joined bitcointalk.org.  Some people joined because their mission is to gain more knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency world and some people only joined because they only want money.
That's the two kind of people. People who seek for knowledge and people who wants to earn.
But, as a part of the Forum's community, we need to do our part in exchange of being a Member of this famous Forum. Bitcointalk.org helps us to learn and also it helps us to earn. And as a exchange, we need to contribute in the forum and we need to improve it. But that's not what I'm seeing today. Looks like instead of improving, people are destroying bitcointalk.org's image because this Forum is one of scammers and spammers's hideout.

This Forum's already running messy because of these nonstop topics about Merits. A day will not be completed without a thread about Merit not to be created. Why do people always need to talk about Merits? Can you people just can't move on and accept the fact that this System is only implemented to improve our Forum?,  but what? Instead of improving our Forum, it seems like we are dragging it down because of these nonsense, repeatedly, blablah topic.

People always worries about getting Merit. Why don't you guys just keep doing what you were doing before, the things you were doing before Merit has been implemented. If your posts really deserves Merit, then you don't need to beg for it (I'm now talking to everyone). If you people think that your doing good then you don't have to prove yourselves. Just keep being YOU. Then if you think that you need some improvement then improve yourselves, that's so simple. You can't be able to teach other people what to do if you can't even teach yourselves in the first place.

All I'm telling is, just have confident to yourselves, no one will hesitate to give you a Merit if you really deserves it.

Merit System is implemented not to drag down our Forum. It is implemented not just to improve this Forum, but also to Improve ourselves .

Sorry but "Yes He Should" , as a full Member. We should be responsible for following and knowing the rules already because we are already part of the Forum's community since when we registered and we must be improving the Forum by now.
When a Newbie account was created, the user is already responsible for following the rules (and Merit system is included to it) as he/she will contribute to the Forum. But why did you disagree to the point that the OP should've already knew how Merits System Works?
Just clarifying my side

Wow, its been a long time since I last visited this thread as I'm contributing in Meta Section for most of the time, I read all of your replies and I'm surprised when I saw those good comments from you guys. I can't believe that you liked my thread and leave positive feedbacks. I'm not going to quote every reply of you guys but it's my pleasure to tell you this, you are all welcome and I'm glad that somehow, I helped you guys out.

I really wish that my thread helped you, and not just helped you about Bitcoin wallets but also gave you all inspiration to create a good quality of post so that I'm the one who will be able to cherish your posts someday.

All of you also gave me inspiration to post more informative, unique, and quality post in the future. I know I'm still not good enough but I will try to improve my post more. I thank you all for your inspiring replies.

Best Regards
~Silent26

This guys seems like he's really spamming the Meta section and its really annoying. Looks like this guy's account is a farmed account and recently made to intentionally spam Meta section. Because if it is not a farmed account, he will not even attempt to post here in Meta section in the first place containing and titled about information that a Real Newbie will never ask.

It is obviously that he's just making this threads to increase his post count which is a wrong move.

Sorry Mr. Steamtyme, but it is not 1993jochico's idea to delete his recently thread. I'm the one who told him to move his thread or just make a single thread that contains all of the information he gathered. That is why he decided to delete that thread and move the information here. Here is what I said in his thread which can be found here
My apologies. He has posted a lot of thread containing different information about Merit abusers that's why I ask him to do such a thing. Because posting thread over and over again with his "Merit Abuser" topic can lead to spamming the Meta section.

Some higher ranks and other Members are saving their Merits and their intentions are to transfer it to their alt account (or trade it). I'm not a 100% sure that even some Legendary members also abuse Merits but it is for sure.

Of course, not all Legendary Members can speak English fluently because some of them are from other countries like Russia, Korea, and etc, and English is not their first language. That's why we should not underestimate their post just because they can't write English properly, instead we should just understand it. But, it is necessary to post in English as long as you can post English post fluently and properly, mostly when you're going to contribute or post in some sections like Bitcoin Discussion and Meta as it only accepts English words.

Hey 1993jochico, you've been posted/created so many threads about your investigations/suspicions about Merit abusers. I only suggest that you should make a single thread where all of the informations you gathered are compiled. Actually you already have a thread about Merit abuser right? Why don't you just keep editing that thread if your gonna update more suspicious Members and keep it bump.

Well about your thread. Looks like you have another suspected guy, and this time it its vlad230 and Searing.  Well, I think you shouldn't make any accusation about this if you're not sure yet, you will still need a solid proof if your suspicions were really right.  You should hear vlad230's and Searing's side first before you settle things. They might have some feedback about this.


Edit.
OP is just curious. It means that there are no assurance about all of this Merit Abusers. A solid proof that will prove they were guilty is highly necessary before making any accusations.

Because actually, sending any amount of Merit depends on the sender. Everyone have rights to send any amount of Merits as long as they want. How if I send all of my sMerits to Mr. theymos and he send 50 sMerits to one of my post? Do you consider it as Merit trading? Sometimes curiosity kills, but like what I said. A solid proof can fix everything.

Oops, My apologies. But since Vlad230 and Searing were suspicious to you, it will surely end up with a accusation too.

I will try to visit you from there. Actually I really like the way you investigate.
