It doesn't show up, here's what I see. Or perhaps I'm missing something? 🧐

I cannot see such format. Mine does not have any post counts before the number of merits given to me. I only got the classic one. Is it because of the browser that we are using? Or this is an update to the forum? I think it's not because mine is not updated. So it's because of the browser?

This is just edited only with my browser.

Inspect element or F12 then edit manually the text. I just got curious if this kind of feature is possible, Also I appreciated all of the information given by the other members. I try to work with a script with the use of this feature.

Got it, now I noticed. Thanks!

Merit earned in the last 120 days:

[Sanugarid]

This seems to be moving merit back into the realms of signature sales revenue. I think this is a retrograde step. as merit was intended to provide posters with guidance on the making of quality contributions. It would be better if sig campaign managers spent a bit more time evaluating the recent posts of applicants, rather than just asking for a merit total which may have been manipulated.

Well I think most of the time, campaign managers guide themselves upon selecting participants with the total merit count and I think they do that because it will be very hard for them to check one by one the posts of the participants. Some campaign managers sometimes have more than 1 campaign at the same time so they are trying to save some time. I salute those campaign managers who does not depend the merit count in selecting participants for the campaign.


I think what is more important is the merit value, I mean the user who gave it to you means a lot. Quantity over quality.

I'd rather get 1 merit from LoyceV, The Pharmacist, and other legendary users than 50 merits from the others or worst inactive and wake up acc.

Imo, all merits earned have the same value. Sure, some users are more tech/politically/economically... savvy than others, and it would be more difficult to impress them, but for anyone to merit your post naturally (i.e without any incentive) then they found your contribution helpful and that is a net positive for the forum, whether they are a newbie, or a woke up account.

Getting merits from certain members is dependent on what interests them, you could be very active in the altcoins section for example, a board which most members ignore due to the high level of spam, so getting merits from certain profiles there is impossible, regardless of whether or not your contributions are helpful, but it's still commendable when you get them from others.
I will rate getting merits in certain boards where they're hard to come by, over getting them from select profiles, but that's just me.

I think what he's trying to say is that someone in a higher rank's merit is valuable than the others, well if you think of that it's making sense obviously, some people are hard to convince with your idea or opinion, you can't impress them easily that's why he said that. I don't really expect for a merit every time I comment or post, literally an incentive for me but I'm really trying to post an honest and quality posts.
And if someone who is reputable in the forum merits you, it's like you just tamed a dragon.

That's what he's really trying to say actually, "the user who gave it to you would mean a lot" that's what he's trying to say the Merit Value.

In a way, my sMerit is quite meaningless: I have to get rid of 800 per month. Someone who only has a few has the luxory to only send it to very good posts, so getting one of those should mean more.
