Merits are reasons to spam the forum, really? I don't think so, mate. Spamming, and showing your shits via shitty threads will never help you earning merits, regardless of abusing the merit system by merit exchanges. Real users will definitely not give their sMerits away for shitshows. I think the idea is nonsense. Merits will be just another reason to spam threads, make shit posts and make repeated threads just to complete a quota.
I don't really understand what you meant, honestly. I would not like merits to be wasted and it is JUST to make merits hard to earn so that less people abuse opportunities given If they prove themselves worth the merits then they will surely be noticed and efforts will be credited. Patience is also the key.
Personally, it should be. Signature campaigns should have pre-requisites for participants to apply, including merit points. There are many campaigns which are managed by good, prestigious managers have such strict pre-requisite related to earned merits. I don't think merit should be a determinant to joining a bounty campaign, irrespective of how time consuming it might be to the bounty managers, taking a good look at an applicants post history says more than judging by their merit count.
Agree with you, mate. As @The Pharmacist wrote in previous thread, it should be earned merits, not automatically allocated merits at the launch day of merit system. Earned merits mostly show that accounts which got merits are constructive users, but managers of campaigns should check all cases carefully to avoid acceptance for merit abusers. Further careful screening procedure through post history of applicants is next essential step after looking at their merit points. There are people who got merit for saying non reasonable things and those who paid for it and those whom their friends merited their posts irrespective of its low quality. Post quality should be checked not merit count. My opinion though. |

You should read this one: What is a masternode
Masternodes play important role to maintain healthy condition of blockchain networks, keep networks as decentralized as possible, prevent potential 51% Replay Attacks, and more interesting things, which you should discover more by yourself. Hello guys!
Could you please tell me the meaning and importance of masternode?
Thank you all.
It's true! Be careful with masternode projects and keep your money safely! A lot of the new project with the masternode are scams nowadays.

They have actually made it via their helpful threads and topics, which are abundant in the forum. The problem is, newbies who are mostly joining the forum to get free money and dont' care about knowledge, skills, will probably not want to learn from those sort of helpful threads and topics. The only thing newbies (most of them) care about are bounties and money. Indeed, I agree with you. Higher ranks should guide the newbies and juniors.
It's true. Honestly, I joined the forum with the original purpose like this. Fortunately, after the launch day of merit system, I knew that I will never rank up if I don't change my minds, my writing approach. I also realised that how bad I did before the launch day of the system and new rank requirements. For now, I strongly believe that I have changed and become a more constructive member of the forum.  Some newbies did joined bitcointalk forum because his/her friend earn lots of money then their mindset will put to earning money once they knew that when his/her rank increases so the money he/she will received then his/her mindset will change again to earning merits and that's happening already in this forum.
With merit system, I think we all should give newbies time to realize what they should do, should change. Over time, some of them will change as original purpose of merit system. Of course, some of them will never change, but it doesn't matter of the forum. We, constructive members, just simply ignore all shitty members, add them to Ignore Lists if we don't want to see their shitshows anymore. They will be stucked at low ranks. |

Wrong! Merit system launched to aim at motivating forum users concentrate on their thread's quality, helpfulness as componental factors to contribute increasing the quality of forum threads, and reducing or eliminating (if possible) shitshows. In other words, high-qualitied threads are main purposes of merit system. Merit system has a purpose of quality posts being posted in the BITCOIN FORUM.
Honestly, it is really hard to completely understand what you wrote. However, I got some of your ideas, and these ones have been repeatedly written, complained by hundreds of forum members. It doesn't make sense. So, please stop doing this again. Such a complaining thread like yours is very annoying, and headache. You - and other members - will not earn any merit by doing this. Hence, why not stop doing this repeatedly! But as you go through a topic in the BITCOIN FORUM you will realize that there are only few fixed members who are posting the required way , whereas , others are still posting as if they are only required to have a post daily or so. These members are generally of higher ranks and already merited. However , on the other side it is completely reversed . Even if the BITCOIN FORUM members , who are ranked newbie or junior member, are posting quality posts as per the guidelines, then also they are not getting any merit which is affecting their rank a lot. This has become a headache for some and is not really appreciated because despite the the work required accordingly, they are not being rewarded.

Hope this request will be granted. It would be great to join a discussion with real members rather than spammers that would only shit post.
50 merit requirement could be a great ceiling for a member rank. Just an opinion.
I suggest to lift up current merit requirements of lower ranks, 10 merits for Junior member and 25 merits for member. Full member and above ranks remains current merit requirements. This new lift-up merit requirements for Junior and Member rank will reduce spamming endemic, which has not stopped yet after the launch day of merit system. |

I’m not sure if he was a REAL newbie. He seemed far too intelligent, researched & well versed in the blockchain & bitcoin. I think he was/is an alt of an early adopter who is probably still active here.
Just my guess, no offence intended at all nullius if you’re reading.
I checked nullius's profile page and found that the last active day of nullius is April 24, 2018, 11:02:30 PM. Honestly, the guy appeared as a shooting star in the forum. As someone said, the account maybe an alt of someone in the forum. It is just a theory, but might be a true one. I think the guy just wanted to troll spammers that they should stop complaining about merit system, new rank requirements by demonstrating newbies can get hundreds of merits if they can make good contributions to the forum. |

My problem with the current merit system is simple: I was a Hero member, my account was hacked and I had to start all over again since I could not get any help with recovering my account.
'Start over again', what does it mean? Can you explain a bit more about your case? After the hack, your account's postcounts dropped and you had to collect activities again, or you actually lost the Hero-ranked account forever and had to start from zero with a Newbie account/ Which one is your case? |

Merits are the hardest thing to get in the forum, much harder than money from bounties, campaigns, and knowledge, skills, etc.
You can make constructive threads, but only some of them can get merits.
So, I think it's time for you to lock the topics because there are dozens of recommendations before my thread, and there is no way to get merits easily.

Lol, please stop this sort of boring topics like "Why I don't get merits? I know why I don't get merits. When I get merits? How to get activity in the forum? How to get merits? etc.?". Those ones have become more popular recent days. I have a theory that there are account farmings tried bombing Meta board to get both postcounts and merits. Please don't bomb the Meta board with your shitshows. It's interesting to see spammers joined Meta board and shown their 'pseudo-constructive efforts' to beg for merits. However, please stop this because such fake-efforts will never get merits. |

ForJr. Member no need merit,need posts and a certain time.
You should only make a thread if you have something interesting to contribute to the discussion. Your thread actually has nothing related to question on "How can I get my activity?" of the topic author. So, why you did made such off-topic thread? |
|
|
|
Wrong approach! Only compose and publish a thread when you have something to contribute to discussions or help others to solve their issues. No need to make threads on daily basis like your suggestion. Simply visit this forum every day, read some, and leave good comments on a daily basis.

You can find what you need and more than what you ask for help here: Newbies - Read before postingThis is very helpful, informative topics which created by Lauda to help newbies and minimize repeatedly threads, topics ask for help from newbies. |

Really? Merit will not appear in your account that the sender is required to donate it for you or buy.
The most common way is hard work on the Forum with the opening topic/reply and accompanying the articles quality, if lucky you will receive Merit from a few longtime members in Forum I also hope to achieve that as you Good luck for you anh me  Please stop your merit-complaining shitshows in the forum. You, of course, have rights to fork the forum, and leave it. Let's do it, I strongly support if you decide leaving the forum.  |

As you can see the following message from Admin "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, there is no plan to automatically decay sMerits, but it might suddenly change in the future.

can anyone tip me with merit points?
The point is no one give their sMerits away to such Merit beggar like you. |

yeah im noob and dont be so arrogant because ur rank is higher than mine. LET ME REPEAT IM A NEWBIE SO PLS. WATCH THAT LANGUAGE OF YOURS. i dnt want to start a mess here im just asking. LET ME REPEAT AGAIN IM A NEWBIE so what if im noob ??
What's wrong with my words? I strongly think that I used kindly words and nice suggestion for you. What did you think when you did not care to spend several minutes to read my recomemmended topic, and keep creating new topic for asking basic stuffs, which mentioned very detailed in the topic I shown you. You likely created topic to easily get more postcounts/ activities.
Sorry, I added you to my Ignore list due to your negative attitude. |

im a newbie here in this forum and yeah i really dont know how to rank up maybe someone might help me understand how to rank up here and also how can i get those merit. just want to expand my knowledge about this forum and maybe one day i can help others too.
Lol, are you serious, noob? You started the topic, namely How to rank up?and you actually got my reply in the topic at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4474265.msg40157967#msg40157967As a newbie, I recommend you to keep calm and not post anything in the forum. Instead, you should read more (available topics in the forum), improve your knowledge, sharpen your skills first. Then, when you feel that you have enough knowledge, experience, skills, start posting and keep learning. For your interest, there you go: Newbies – Read before posting (Lauda)To sum up, you will need activities to rank up from Newbie to Junior member. From Junior member to higher ranks, you will need both activities and merits. Several minutes later, you started the topic, what are your main purposes? Did you actually read the topic I suggested in your previous topic? Please stop showing your shits with non-sense threads, topics as you have done.
Locking the topic is my recommendation for you! |

I guess what you meant is topic, not thread, isn't it? 100 merit+ to start a thread on the main alt or btc board
This is the way shit projects operate its campaigns to pump their ANN topics with help from shit-posters, spammers. the boards simply moves too fast with many many duplicate threads and most are just pump my ico threads anyway by armies of sockpuppet accounts with zero merit
I think the best way and most effective way that Theymos can do (it might be the final solution for BTT forum to clean up shitty members) is "Prohibiting Junior members and below to join any bounty, campaign in the forum". Only Member rank and higher ones can wear signature codes and join campaigns. mods need demerit powers really for obvious spammers who have purchased high level accounts but never post anything of worth and just use them to spam for different icos
