People will demand merit for airdrops. Merit for tokens, merit for btc.
You can ban those people. Good riddance.

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 will use my alt to send to this account My alt is judypug1956

Merit is the promotion of people's outstanding posts! Optimize BBS for spam! This mechanism is very good, effectively prevents some member's malicious irrigation behavior! I want to know whether the merit system will be given to users randomly, because not everyone can be thumb up!

How come none of the newbies have merit points? Are newbies not entitled to any merits? Someone once posted "newbies are the new VIPs", and if so, why not treat them like so???

A fairly good system to help out on the ranking system. But not too sure if it is a good one because I personally think that the one where activities are slowly accumulated through time and not by the amount of post will encourage the community here to see long term. Is there an official post to fully explain how the whole 'Merit' system works? Hope the 'Merit' system is full proof to prevent spams of merit scores on bitcointalk account just to achieve a higher rank. Much worse is that I foresee people are selling their Merit votes for some benefits or so. Most importantly we should try to achieve genuine growth of ranks in the forum and encourage good quality post for the forum to blossom. *And I tried pressing the "merit" button and we can actually merit our own post? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I wouldn't dare to merit myself incase I get demerit instead ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

I think this will be the forever of my rank.As far as i understand that you reach some merit requirements to be promoted like for example for full member that only have 100 merit need to have another 150 merit in order to become senior member.Which is very hard to get because of course all of us are also saving our merit for our promotion.I hope there will be a broad explanation for this new system.

No, you dont have to spend merit when giving them to others. You spend sMerit, a balance solely given to you for the purpose to spend it again. Thus there is no "saving our merit". People should use their sMerit and reward good posts. You have Merits, those you cannot send. You also have sMerits, those you can only send, they have no other purpose.
When someone gives Merit to you they lose sMerit of the amount transfered and you gain Merit as well as sMerit (which in case you can send again).
Example: Should I send 10 Merit to you for a post, my sMerit would decrease by 10. Your Merit would increase by 10 and your sMerit would increase by 5.
Merits are exclusively earned, but the sMerit part you also get keeps the circulation flowing.
(Ignoring merit sources here, for the sake of making an easy example.)

sMerit and Merit are 2 different things fella.. read up on it properly.. see its shitposts like this that provide 0 value and will get you 0 Merit.. reading the System and understanding it will put you in a better position.. Edit - Just re read the thread myself... what a dick! it does lead to a question though... with Legendary coming at a Random point.. is the required Merit to hit Legendary random - or just the minimum to hit the rank?

If everyone has 100 Merit points, then the person presses the + Merit button on someone's post. Is the Merit of that person reduced to 99 or fixed 100?
Merits and sendable merits are different. When you press + merit, sendable merits are deducted by that amount, merit will remain same.

This is a good way to prevent ranking up just by shitposting and prevent shitposters to earn a great amount of money on what they are doing. It is better to have a post that have few replies with good post rather than the post that has many replies but all are shitpost. Instead of the good post are being read, the shitpost are the ones that is being read. The signature campaigns should be strict on the post being made by their participants since they could be blamed for the toxicity of the forum. The consequence is that we are going to have a hard time ranking up. We, members of the forum should adjust on the new system since we have nothing to do. If we want change then we need to change ourselves first and this is the time to adapt the new system. And about the Merit, it is just like the like button on other social media sites. So, in order to increase it we need to make quality post for the readers to like it. It is a good way to determine good posters in the forum.

Will it be visible who gives merits to who? Atleast for moderators and DT? That way it would be easy to spot people who gives merits to shitposters and people who pays for merits and people with multiple accounts that gives merits to themselves

It is shown right on the post that got the merit, no more and no less. If the post is deleted, the display vanishes, but the merit stays. With the update, you will have a full list of sMerit sent and Merit received for each user (similar to how you have trust sent/received right now). This will make it easy to track the movement of merit, and should also allow to discover and stop big abuse cases.

So, in order to increase it we need to make quality post for the readers to like it. Unless some people question someone's merits and so mods take a look at their account to see if there's any abuse going on, giving merits to someone is not going to be moderated. So you really don't have to write "quality" posts. Most people are going to end up treating it like "likes". They like what you posted, they might give you some merit. I've got 1 now. For a 1 line post that I would in no way consider "quality". I caught someone ban evading and called them out and apparently someone liked that (they probably don't like the guy) and gave me merit.

I do hope that with this new "Merit" system, spamming and garbage posting will be eliminated. This should have been implemented years ago. My greatest worry here is how a Jr member like me will rank-up. They said that in order to rank-up you should give "quality post". But what are the attributes of a "quality post" that deserves a merit? If it depends on how someone would rate it then "drama" would occur. But i do hope this won't happen.
Looking forward with this new merit system.
