This tools also help solve some technical problem not only beautify your posting.
merit system is subjective, some people give it to their friend only no matter how bad the post is, some people refuse to give merit to even good post just because in their opinion the person is this and that.

If you need to present your data in a form of table, you will find it difficult if you use SMF Preview editor, with this tool you will be presented with a box for you to fill in your data, much easier, intuitive and faster, some other tools also much superior than the SMF Preview editor, that way you will be able to present your analysis, data in more organized way.

This is content nonetheless, you may not like it but there is 1.4 million other users that may find it useful.

If you use much easier tools to achieve a similar goal, you end up with better result, instead of using very difficult to use editing tools you use simpler editing tools, you free yourself from having to worry about formatting and how your text appear and focus on whatever subject you want to present, I created the table in shorter time than if I use SMF preview editing tools

Thank you for your opinion....very thoughtful thank you, sorry if you don't like it, we have another 1.4 million members here probably 1-2 of them like this so
Everyone is casting their opinion here most of them about banning this and that, checking this and that, restrict this and that, there is so much negativity in that, If I can help user write better post I will but that is not easy, what I can help is giving them better tools.

Looking at how "knowledgeable" you are about Merit and sMerit I don't think you understand what is being discussed here, and I don't see reason why you are so busy here at Meta with that level of knowledge, you may just shared misguided info if you continue this way. I suggest you reread the whole things about Merit and sMerit and not to worry about where your sMerit should be given.

Yeah knowledgeable sure he is...

Just increase chance of getting more merit with more organized write up, easier to present our ideas and not hindered with difficult to use editor

To help us at least beautify our posting, here is simple way to edit your post with before posting it.

WYSIWYG Editor - is an online tools you can use to edit/write your post much like regular editor with lots of editing tools to select, the difference between this editor and our SMF preview editing tools is, this editor shows the effect as you apply it, if you change the font color you will see it on the editor not after you clicked on preview.

Table - You will have much better intuitive way of inserting table and inputting values inside the table, its shows you box where you can put your values in instead of bracket code in the preview editing tools comes with SMF preview editor, try it you gonna love it.

I think that is a healthy practice to actively looking for quality post and sending sMerit to them as quickly as possible, just like in the real economy, spending do drive the whole economy up, in our Merit economy that probably can translate to spending sMerit as quickly as possible would drive up quality post numbers as people are more encouraged to post similar kind of quality post.

As stated on the Merit stats page
There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

For now unused sMerit decaying still not implemented.

Some of the feature were limited specifically for high rank members only, and why do we need ranking system if it serve no purpose. Since admin keep it thats must be some benefit of it and they also encourage us to achieve it.
I am not talking about member discriminating other, I am talking about the system will prevent people who solely comes here to learn from ranking up. Don't you see that those post contain some misguided info and some of it very dangerous and unacceptable mistakes.

How is he have proper knowledge of Merit and sMerit for not finding that spent sMerit is irreversible when this notice is written there when he try to spend his sMerit

"This cannot be undone!"

Why would what you think relevant should matter here then, this is an open forum everyone just pour whatever they knows to each other regardless of whether the other person already know it or not, as long as the reply is on topic, if he already knows it someone else reading through the thread will benefit from what I've posted there, it is not something completely false or wrong, it is true its just slightly confused and not correctly quoting the right earlier reply

My answer actually addressing BitMazx earlier post concerning about removing merit, but because of snipping quotes here and there, I confused it with Vigme86 replies and register wrong understanding.

My replies still within the subject and still relevant to the posting subject, given that BitMaxz cannot find if Merit given is removable he probably don't know that he can earn sMerit as well, which making wrongly spent sMerit is not a big deal because you still can earn it back.

Why would you need to tell everyone this and that post is spam, are you moderator here ? why don't just correct the person sending slightly confused answer, why don't just say like [he is stating that If you send bitcoin to the wrong address is there any chance to get it back? Why should merit points be different? correct your answer] instead of saying Your answer to the question is irrelevant and there for you are spamming here. Your post is the typical copy-paste answer without reading ones post. which totally untrue because this thread is about Merit and my reply is all about Merit.

If my answer is about how to get back spent bitcoin then you are correct my reply is irrelevant

He is asking about getting back sMerit, my answer is earn more Merit because earning merit aslo earn you sMerit, what is irrelevant about it, and your comment is completely untrue and irrelevant now, it is not copy-pasted from anywhere and it is on topic answering the question he have.

Please go back to flaming others at usenet, we do things differently here, please note that this forum runs on SMF and not usenet, we nested quote as we like here and SMF handle it nicely, if your cheap second hand laptop cannot handle SMF and you read this from text based client please be considerate towards others who like to write their reply with nested quotes for easy readability here.

Your expertise is not welcome here please brag about your competency somewhere else. BANGLA TEMBIRANG DIA NE, JAGA-JAGA KAMUORANG KOMEN DIA NE BIKIN PANAS

That is why we need user to voluntarily pre-designated their account according to their usage, if the person comes here just to learn let him have easier way to rank up and not bogged down by Merit system which specifically design to stop bounty hunter spamming the forum to rank up their account, and also the Merit system will served its purpose as a measure of how good the account owner posting quality at the alternate cryptocurrencies in case he choose the account is for bounty hunting purpose.

If we want this forum to be specifically just for learning purpose only, just delete alternative cryptocurrencies so no more bounty hunting here and no more spamming, the fact is we still not into that and we still allow some money earning activities going on here and allow alternate cryptocurrencies to exist, instead of subjecting everybody to same system that probably will discriminate some people who have intention to learn, we should ask user to voluntarily set his own account, and have him go through the specific ranking system. Once we decided that this forum is for learning bitcoin only just delete alternative cryptocurrecies, everyone go through same rank system

Every time you earn 1 Merit you also earn 0.5 sMerit [Sendable Merit] but the stats will not show 0.5 sMerit, its show the nearest full number amount [no decimal point], so you have to earn 2 Merit to have back 1 sMerit

Sebenarnya awak ada 0.5 sMerit tapi tak tunjuk pada Merit stats tu, nanti dapat lagi satu Merit akan dapat lagi 0.5 sMerit barulah nampak macam ne


You have received a total of 2 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 1 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.


Setiap kali dapat 1 Merit kamu dapat juga 0.5 sMerit [Sendable Merit] yang boleh guna untuk berikan Merit pada post orang lain. Tapi angka sMerit tu dibulatkan so 0.5 akan nampak 0 sMerit, sementara tunggu lagi 0.5 sMerit

Why not put account that opened for bounties access limit to alternative cryptocurrencies only, because that is what required to earn rewards in most campaign anyway, and use this merit system to control their posting quality there.

Just put button on member profile page asking if the account is for bounty hunting purpose and set their account access accordingly, once this is up we should report any account promoting program out of alternate cryptocurrencies and set their account to bounty hunter.

Account that are not created for bounty or as some of us put it "learning" just go as normal using the old system.

Sesiapa saja dikalangan kita agaknya, kalau tengok macam sub board Indonesia, yang ada rank legendary jadi moderator. Dorang busy sangat tu, forum ne selalu kena attack, ada banyak kali kena hack dan DDOS dah forum ne

Helping Newbie finding their Profile ID URL

Quality post ne maksudnya terlalu luas takde macam definasi tepat, senangnya yang bukan spamming dan bukan promoting atau bercakap mengenai alternative, legendary dan merit source tu periksa posting history kita sekali imbas je asal ada sebut pasal alt terus dorang tak bagi merit posting kita walaupun panjang dan content bagus, semua coin selain BTC asal ada sebut2 dalam history kita memang merit source tak bagi merit, walaupun kita punya idea, penyampaian dan sebagainya cukup bagus, tapi kalau kawan dia walaupun reply tu cakap 2-3 patah je dia bagi merit walaupun post history kawan dia tu penuh dengan posting tidak berkualiti termasuk promote alt juga, kalau baca kat Sub Board Meta tu punya banyak kes bagi merit sesama dorang je. Memang rasa tak adil betul kadang ada yang legendary ne dapat rank tu sebelum sistem merit dengan cara posting sebanyak2nya, kalau tengok dari history dorangpun takde kualiti juga posting/reply dorang tu, macam nak cadang je high rank ne kalau tak dapat sejumlah merit dalam masa sebulan turunkan rank tapi macam tak sampai hati pulak
