This is helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for what? You visited the topic on merit and new rank requirements, then posted such boring thread. It is likely that you didn't really understand what are main purposes of merit system. Please re-read the OP carefully.

Forcing me to shift through a mountain of pajeet garbage within 2 months in order to not lose the sMerit that I have? What an absolutely great idea!
In my opinion, if users can not find interesting, deserved threads to give their sMerits away. They should have rights to keep their sMerits forever. In the forum, there are lots of active members who readily to give their sMerits away for deserved threads. So, the current mechanisms of merit system will not affect negatively on the motivations of lower-ranked members.

I feel hard problems with this system but it think it is very helpful to anti the actions, actions not exist on forum
Firstly, your thread was written with broken-, fake-English, so it makes non-sense. Secondly, if you felt 'hard problems' with merit system, you should simply leave the forum and find other places which don't have systems as merit system in the forum. Please stop it and spend your time to learn English if you want to stay in the forum.

You might be right at some extent! Most of forum users tend to have prejudice with old accounts which can not earn any merit several months after the launch of merit system. Of course, such unable-to-earn-merit accounts are deserved to get bad feelings from higher ranked members because about 4 months after launch day of merit system, they have shown that they are lacked of capability to compose high quality, constructive threads to earn merits from others in the forum. Why do I have a feeling that you’re one of those old members with no merit(s) but with so many activities and needs to create a new account to start things over again for merits? Anyway, I might be wrong, my friend.
However, I don't recommend them to start with new account, instead of changing their attitudes first. This one is more important because they won't go further with new account if they will keep their current mindset, keep posting shitshows in the forum.

If there is willingness to fight against ASIC from crypto projects' teams, there will be solutions for the serious issue. ASICs basically are less flexible than GPUs. With small adjustments, ASICs will become a garbage equipment. I am waiting to see next movements of Ethereum, ZenCash, etc. on how they deal with ASICs.

If this was the case, then it's kinda annoying for us. Nobody will take this system seriously if they tolerate those shits as what they're doing right now. If onky I can tagged them RED then I would but my account will be at stake if I did that. What i mean is if I tagged them RED, there is also a possibilty that they will also tagged me together with their alts. And that would be a problem for me.
Reg tagging someone who likely abuse merit system will put taggers under high risks of being red tagged. It will result in another abusement, red tagged abusement.

Thank you sncc for such extremely high-quality, informative, and helpful topic. Would you mind sharing the data which you used for your analysis, please. I would like to do some statistical analysis by myself. Honestly, I don't want to struggle with you to earn merits, lol.

Which kind of threads/ topics are really annoying. There are many others that I find useless not because they are low quality, but because they have been discussed quadrillion times before. eg. "Best wallet for bitcoin?", "Bitcoin safety", "What is a blockchain?" (a blockchain?), "Crypto vs Fiat" etc.
We have already had solutions for the endemic. It is merit system, which was launched in January of 2018 to solve the issue. So what should be done? How do we solve this?
For some newbies who don't know how to use the forum search feature. Please spend a couple of minutes to read the topic carefully. It might help you to save your time and use the forum more efficiently. [Tips] Guide for forum search Before opening a thread, people should be incited into researching, and checking if the question in their mind has been discussed before. And after researching, if they can't find the answer to their specific question anywhere, then they should open new threads.
The ranking system is not faulty, it has been simply abused masssively by spammers, account farmers. I think the ranking system is also faulty

Yes it is one of the problem why merit circulation is not enough but there is nothing we can do about it we dont know the reason why they dont distribute their sMerit to the community while there is a lot of good post exist I think the purpose of some of them why they are holding it because they want to use it to their other accounts or maybe they plan to make a new account it is the only reason I see why they hold it. Maybe on others situation they are not that active to distribute it.
The real problem is most of merits and sMerits have been circulated between good users because as the merit system has shown its efficient operations, only (or mostly) deserved users - who are constructive ones - have got merits and sMerits. Abusers, cheaters, account farmers, merit farmers, and low quality users will mostly hard to find merits and sMerits. Congratulations for such great achievements of merit system!

The system has given you the opportunity to make free money and useful information, I think whether the merit or not, whether your rank is high or low, do not complain, because the system gave You're a privilege .
Please tell me, "How did you make your thread? Google translator, I guess, because the thread looks hard to understand. Such low-written thread will hardly earn merits. The original objectives of merit system are giving merits as rewards for constructive, high quality threads, that means those threads should be written well in English, good enough to make it understandable for users.

Agree, guy! Merit system and activity system are very different in its mechanism and its role in the forum. Merit is not equivalent to activity.
yeah, getting merits is much harder than getting activity-count. This makes it much harder for you to gain the merits you need.
Someone don't think about what they will write, what they will discuss; they only/ mainly think about whether they will receive merits for their threads or not. Consequently, most of them never earn merits. It's extremely ridiculous, ahha. The best plan is to think before you post, and ask yourself - "would I like to see this post, and has it helped me in some way". If the answer is "no", then don't make the post. If you do make the post, then make sure it flows smoothly, and is easy to read. This means you will need to spell check it before submitting it.

Yes, due to merit system, the general quality of threads in the forum rose. Looks like that was your exactly target to earn a little bit of merits I would not say that the number of rubbish post increased, as you say, it is approximately at the same level. But the thing I really see is that the number of quality and helpful post really raised. You are wrong! In my point of view, I don't like threads which attach oversized/ annoying images/ infographics. I think those ones are only needed for lazy users, who should not stay in our forum. All necessary stuffs have been presented clearly, transparently in the OP of its ANN (for example, with merit syste, its purposes, its rules, all of them mentioned in topic created by Theymos). I don't see any reason to have infographics to explain what merits are, what sMerits are and which functions they are in the circulation of merit system. For those lazy users, leaving the forum is the best option, no need to create infographics for them, and invite them to watch. Time ago I've seen different graphics and pictures with explanation of forum's rules or Blockchain or bitcoin really seldom, but now I see such post maybe every day and such posts really deserve to be merited, cause of they perform some ideas in fun and easy to understand form.

~ our Forum will be a peaceful Forum for sure.
Our forum will almost turn back to its original one, a peaceful forum without spammers, farmers, cheaters. Merit system will do it for us, for the forum. However, I am not sure which kind of forum in its earlier period because I just joined the forum several months ago, but I heard lots of old members applauded about good quality, clean environment of the forum in its early phase.

It's true. Shit posters will have less chance to receive merits due to their bad post history, but I think that if they keep continue changing their post quality to higher and higher day by day, then merits will come, some day over long period and intensive efforts to adapt to merit system. Finally, they will have almost clean post history like someone else. No one have enough time to scan all post history to see how good a poster is. Unfortunately if they ended up on a merit awarder's ignore list, then their change in posting quality will not be noticed. This means that it is still harder for them to gain merit than it is for a new member who starts off the right way.
Yeah. Based on your recommendations, if shit-posters follow them, we might see a new waves of newbies which come from spammers with new efforts to spam the forum, one more time. Before you start polluting the boards, reflect on the long term damage that you are doing to your nice clean account.

Testnet forked without issues so the fork's block height on the main net is firm. ~
Yeah. Perfect fork for Sumokoin community. Thank you very much for your great works for Sumokoin project to help the fork progressed smoothly, without serious technical issues. Hope that Sumokoin network will keep operating smoothly after the fork, which in turn can help to maintain the health of Sumokoin network and can help to level the price up a little bit.

In your thread, what I saw is faster-oversued abusement. I don't think that it is good to express your ideas like this. This over-emphasized thread make it a little bit hard to follow your ideas. However, I agree with you and Talk merit that merit abusers are smart and they will figure out new ways to abuse the merit system. Unfortunately, the more they try abusing merit system, the faster they will be found and punished by moderators. Perfect plan from Theymos.

The real solution to the problem of good posts not being awarded merit doesn't lie in the merit system. As I have pointed out in a number of posts, if a post isn't seen by the right merit awarder, then it will not receive an award - that's a fairly obvious statement. It's the necro-bumpers, thread bloaters, post replicators and producers of incomprehensible text that cause the problem, and they are depriving members of their deserved merits.
I believe that a period of heavy modding with threat locking, merging and deletion, together with post deletion, will do wonders for the junior members who are hoping to improve their ranking.
Another real reason is merit awarder hard to see good posts among hundreds of shitty ones, which abundant in the forum and covered good ones. Most of shitty ones come from spammers. They are likely doing great works, turning the forum to landfill area to dump their shits.

Sounds ridiculous. Of course, you can keep solo mining because it's your rights, your choice. However, I think that solo mining at current phase of Snowgem is the best way to waste your money, and your electricity bilss somehow. Especially, in the next few weeks when masternodes will be officially activated in the Snowgem network. Rewards for your solo mining will dramatically decrease to almost zero. Believe me!
Exactly! After masternodes officially operated and get rewards in April, much more Snowgem masternodes will be activated from current potential investors, who are intentionally follow the project for a long time and might accumulate enough coins for their masternodes due to massive massarce of the whole crypto market in the past few weeks. As history shows, masternodes certainly force difficulty of network rise significantly and at the point, miners tend to hard to find blocks, consequently their rewards might plummeted and might cause to unexpected losts of their mining profits.
