After seeing tk808
thread yesterday I was happy that many bitcointalk members and merit sources chipped in to help a fellow cryptocurrency enthusiast get some recognition and needed merits towards the rank he desires. We all know that many merit sources rightly avoid and have the whole Altcoin board on ignore and many others don't go there at all. This makes it very difficult for Altcoin enthusiasts like tk808 to get merits, improve his rank and feel appreciated.
tk808 is right when he said:
There's no denying the largest part of Bitcointalk is indeed altcoin discussions, ANNs and the increasingly defunct tokens section. Spam or not, it is the largest and generates the most traffic.
Even though 90% of the posts in the Altcoin sections are worthless there are probably other members just like tk808 that get buried under all that spam that is generated there.
What can we do to change this? I am hoping that with tk808's help and with the help of some merit sources who have shown that they are willing to merit altcoin content, and all other members who are interested in doing the same we find those worthy of merits in the Altcoin section, make a list and help them feel appreciated.
I am going to PM tk808 and make him aware of this thread and ask him to post some links to users who, just like him, frequent the Altcoin boards and post quality content there. Merit sources can then check their posting history and decide if their posts are merit-worthy or not.
To tk808 I would like to say that you can use those 170+ earned merits from yesterday and merit some users from the Altcoin sections that you think have been overlooked but produce good quality posts.
The 2nd post of this thread will be reserved for the List and I will update it with links to quality posters from the Altcoin boards.
