I see you're exclusively interested in bounty campaigns... You posts history mainly consists of this too.
If you want to receive any merit you need to contribute by helping others.

You are on a good track but still need to improve.
Suggestion: Work on your post formatting, adding references and generally putting more time in the ideas you provide.

I think some people are just ignorant and they just don't want to read but feel the urge to post nonsense.

If you use any social media networks just join a large group like traffic announcements or some general topic that is relevant to a lot of people. You will be amazed by the amount of people that post comments and do not have any idea on the subject or have not read or understood the post/message.

It's the same thing here with some people. I know BTC and BCT are similar abbreviations but you will find the difference between the two if you read the posts on this forum

PM me if you need any help with projects.

I am one of the users that were a Jr. Member when the merit system was rolled out so, I got 0 merits by default. At the beginning, I was a bit upset on the system since it favoured the more senior members on this forum whom, in some cases, mainly shit post and do not bring any value to the community.

Recently, I have opened up a post review service to get a better feel on the merit system and the people posting. In this service, I require people to posts their top 3 posts but I also check their post history (I think everyone awarding merit should also check that). You can't imagine the amount of shit posts people did until now and some are still doing it.
The merit system has indeed stopped this nonsense with shit posts & spam but some of them did not get the idea yet so, it might take a bit more time to see the system to it's full glory.

I encourage anyone who doesn't see the benefits of this system to start their own review service.

I have come across users that also do this in my post review service but have not awarded any merit for those posts. Some of these users just do this to get merit and rank up to be able to participate in signature campaigns.
I encourage others to no award merit for these individuals.

Yes, I agree, the copy/paste must be placed in a quote tag but of course they shouldn't copy/paste the whole article (everybody can read it in the link provided with it) just some parts of it. Most importantly, they need to provide their own view on it otherwise, it does not bring any value to the discussion.

You have a true dedication to helping people out This is the whole point of a community! Merited!

You have participated in a lot of bounties in the past, I hope you will also focus on creating quality content and helping others on this forum.

I see some of your posts are in mega threads... What value do you think a post to a trivial question on page 40 would bring to others? Do you think it will ever be read? I will stop reviewing posts if I still see this spam being propagated.

You have a lot of good posts and the quality in them is good! You will not have a problem in ranking up. Merited!

You are on a good track with some of your posts but you still need to improve.
Suggestion: Add references to your posts, diversify the forums you post in.

You are helping people and that's always a good thing Your posts history also looks good. Merited!
Continue to go on this path and you posts will not remain unnoticed

I'm glad you have re-submitted your entry and I do see improvements and your logic in good Merited!
Suggestion: Try to format your posts better, use different paragraphs for your ideas to make it easy to read and understand. You can also include references.

Yes, indeed, they're not going to lift them as soon as they're legalized, it's going to take some years, not doubt about that.

Legalizing ICOs will open the possibility to whitelisting those ads, don't you agree? In this current shady state they will never bring the ads back thus the interest will decrease and we'll continue to be on a bear trend.

The official reason behind the ban was that ICOs and crypto in general is a shady business where people can loose money. As coin telegraph said it here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/big-tech-are-banning-crypto-and-ico-ads-is-there-a-reason-to-panic

If you're interested in also hiring a software quality assurance engineer to verify the dev work, please check my signature & send me a PM.

If they want to legalize them, then that means they will also do background checks for the owners and require them to be a legitimate business. If they could do it the same way as IPOs work then that would be great.

The main problem with ICOs, like OP said, is that they aren't regulated and there are a lot of scammers out there that just 'run with the money'. I think that if ICOs will be legitimate then the current ban on cryptos, currently in effect on social networks and large advertising platforms like Google Adsense, will be lifted, the hype will continue thus the prices will be on a bull trend again

I still have sMerits to send out, don't be shy on requesting a review from me.

My idea was to encourage as many people to join this challenge as possible. So, if this round doesn't qualify for a third place based on Joe's rules, then that's fine, the prize can be given out when it meets the requirements in some future round.

No, that's a different thread, buddy
I see the majority of your posts consist of bounties. You need to start adding more quality to your posts and stop focusing on bounties.

I see you also posts in mega threads essentially creating spam. You are no stranger to lots of bounty campaigns either.
Your post quality still needs to improve in order to get merit, you have a few good posts but sometimes contradictory or not well researched.

Please read the rules & how to apply again.

No.

Although I like your detective work, I see your post history is mainly comprised of bounty campaigns.
You need to increase the amount of relevant quality posts in order to receive merit.

Although I appreciate your ambition, this is the 3rd time you have submitted posts that do not follow the simple rules on how to apply. You are disqualified.

You are mainly posting in mega-threads replying to trivial questions thus increasing the spam... You need to stop this activity.
You need to research your posts better and create good content that others will find useful.

You are essentially posting meaningless replies in mega-threads, some posts are on page 40 or 50... You need to stop this because it is only increasing spam and will not help anyone.
Create posts that others will find useful and you will get merit.

I appreciate your insistence but please read the rules & how to apply, again

Your post is already merited. You do not qualify, please read the rules & how to apply, again.

I see you're mainly posting in your local board, I would like to see you doing more posts in the English boards.
For now, I would say you're on a good track but you still need to increase the quality of your posts by improving your English a bit and adding more content & references to you posts.

Some of your posts are a bit off topic. You are on a good track but you still need to improve the quality of your posts.
I see you're not a native English speaker and some of your posts are affected by this.

Your posts history looks good and you have helpful posts! Merited!
Suggestion: Maybe you could remove the clutter when you quote. I see you have a lot of quote hierarchies that are sometimes irrelevant. Just quote the last person you're responding to.

I would appreciate it if you could review my posts.

I currently have 99 merits and would need 1 to rank up. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Geraldo! I appreciate the time you invest in this and of course, your merit donation

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Joe!

I've started this review service to get a better feel on the merit system, what's going on in different categories and try to combat spam/shit posting.

Whoever still has doubts on the merit system should definitely start a review service or at least check the post history of random users. You can't imagine the amount of spam and shit posting (regardless of rank) that occurs on the forums everyday! It's incredible, unfortunately... but I do see a change for the better since the merit system has been implemented.

I don't know what to do to make people read... 

I have tried everything but it seems it is hopeless...

Glad to hear that
If you need any help with setting it up or other mining related things, feel free to just send me a PM

It seems like you only read the OP when you post. That's a shame, I was expecting more from legendary members 

I think you got it all wrong. The live chat would be similar to the PM system in the sense that you talk with one guy (similar to FB messenger for example) but you can have multiple chats open.
Rather than going back and forth with PMs that are not in a thread view and are disorganized (not to mention that you need to keep refreshing to see if you got a PM), you could use the chat feature and talk easier.

This approach would be fast, easy to use and will not require any 3rd party apps like skype to be used.

Isn't this the same problem as we have with PMs? Of course there can be "mute/ignore" buttons for it to avoid abuse.

I will update the OP posts with more info since nobody reads the posts in between...
