Me and cryptoheadd have been friends for almost 3 years and met through this forum only. We are not running any kind of merit circle. I met sourish properly in singapore during the coinsbank cruise event where i found him very inclined towards crypto in general. He is a young enthusiastic person and i felt that he would do good to the community as a higher ranked member. It's not like he is participating in a signature campaign or something. He makes good post and i read them often. I had no idea that there was something like merit farming going on. i thought that instead of finding his individual posts that i liked , i would help him by giving him few merit. Given below is a post where theymos said that we can help others to rank-up if they have decent posts. The intention of me and cryptoheadd was not merit abuse.
I agree with this approach. I considered giving merit proportional to activity, but I decided not to because doing so would probably give far more undeserved merit than deserved merit in total. But undoubtedly some people got screwed by this, and if they have decent posts, by all means, give them the 250 or 500 merit that they need to rank-up.
I also agree with the idea of (free) "reviewer" topics in general, for finding high-quality posts that went unnoticed. Barcode_ created one in the Chinese section, as well.
I would be willing to send picture of me, cryptoheadd, sourish when we met in coinsbank cruise and had a picture with Mcafee to vod to show that we personally know him and that he is a dedicated crypto-enthusiast indeed. And to confirm that sourish and me are different person, i can send ID of sourish to VOD or any trusted member which shows his name and photo(same as username). While for me, am sure many members(Minerjones, Max from Kialara, etc.) here can confirm that am not sourish after checking ID of sourish as they have met me in person.
