I wonder if *merit trading* will be bannable. I can totally see people trying to buy/sell their sMerit.
But do you have this text: You are a merit source. The next 100 merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days. Unused source merit is wasted. It is not allowed for merit sources to sell their merit. Where did you find that?

Possibly related to my copper membership, or maybe DT? We could figure this out, are you a source as well?
Yes. I have over 200 sMerit.
I wonder if *merit trading* will be bannable. I can totally see people trying to buy/sell their sMerit. All legendary members got 200 sMerit. All Heros got 88 sMerit, dont know the numbers for lower ranks. (edit: 6 sMerit for full members, 19 sMerit for Senior Members) It seems whenever you get Merit for your posts, you also get some sMerit with them (I assume it is the same amount, though not 100% sure). That way, the people that write good posts and get many merit for them also get a lot sMerit to reward other people with good posts. Pretty clever system, theymos.
Where did you find that?
It's on the page when you send merit. I didn't have to spend sMerit, as I had 100 free Merit to send due to being a source.

Nice new thing this Merit. There are lots of new multi accounts of users for bounties. This option will regulate most thing in forum. Good job ADMIN And also we want to know how many merits we will need for next ranks

OP, your post is: Merited by theymos (1)
It will be interesting to see how these points will be awarded, not that I'm too fond of the idea. There is a new +Merit button besides the quote button. Leading to a new page that reads: You have received a total of 500 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 88 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. 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.
You are a merit source. The next 100 merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days. Unused source merit is wasted. It is not allowed for merit sources to sell their merit. (Merited Lauda for testing.)The OP now has 506 merit points. Tyrantt has given him an extra 5 while testing the new system out. I just sent the OP one merit point. Unfortunately it says I only have one merit point to send, so I've run out now. Members must only get one spendable merit point for each 30 days. Bitcoin Forum > Merit
You have received a total of 10 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 1 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. 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. I sent you one merit point. Is it now in your main balance or at spendable merits?

Will this not be abused by those who have a lot of accounts?
BINGO. Scammers like Quickseller will soon have the highest Merit on the forum. I don't see this as any kind of solution to anything as long as farming, multiple accounts and signature campaigns are still allowed. I'm not going to whore myself out there with BS posts to gain merit. :/

All legendary members got 200 sMerit. All Heros got 88 sMerit, dont know the numbers for lower ranks. I got 85 sMerit, spent 5, received 5merit+2sMerit. It seems whenever you get Merit for your posts, you also get some sMerit with them (I assume it is the same amount, though not 100% sure).
50% as much as I've got it figured out. That way, the people that write good posts and get many merit for them also get a lot sMerit to reward other people with good posts. Pretty clever system, theymos.
Yeah, but since it's a new system, it may take some time for people to remember that it's there. But still someone can trade with tho people for quite some merit points. Trades with one for max of 50, receives 25sMerit and then with another person for 25merit, receives 12sMerit,etc,etc...

Is this a new sort of ranking system to help determine which users are valid? How will it affect us?

Shouldnt be too hard with that profile picture Are you a source? Yeah, but since it's a new system, it may take some time for people to remember that it's there.
I'm sure there will be a few adjustments and tweaks as the system comes along and gets used.

Well done guys! As a new member on this forum I was astounded by the amount of fluff people wrote. Mostly in bad English. I really like this change. Clever, intriguing and never seen before?
Now I wish for the amount of shitposts to go down - in my opinion the damn signature field should be disabled all together.
I want to read good and interesting conversations between experts and even get feedback sometimes! That would be grand

Wait, so everyone can now rank up by getting merits? What about the old acitivity counts?
Edit : After giving lutpin a merit my rank went down from legendary to hero.
Now that is funny So, merit points are to build up rank or something? I hope there will be explanation. Will this not be abused by those who have a lot of accounts?
Or is this a good way to trace them and have an idea which are their alts? -Prevention for many accounts in one service.
I don't see how, every time you send points to someone you lose yours.

But abusing merit system with multiple accounts will be fast uncovered, because you see, who spent whom merits.

MAYBE have the amount of Merit points applied to an account "diluted" if fraud is detected:
- If the account receiving the points has ever used a proxy/tor - reduce by 50% - If the account receiving the points has ever posted using the same IP ever used by the sending account - reduce by 100%
The amount of points being deducted off the sending account stays the same - just the amount received is diluted.

Maybe this is one of the reason why admins implemented this. Thoughts?

Does this new Merit system affect the ranking system at all or is it just a way to crack down on garbage posts around here?

- If the account receiving the points has ever posted using the same IP ever used by the sending account - reduce by 100%
While unlikely, that both the sender and receiver are *coincidentally* on the same VPN and the same node what about them?
