Is there an info graphic so I can understand the dynamic when members discover a merit source and engage in merit stalking? I'm not talking about merit begging here, that I understand.

then selling Merit Rank-ups should be no different.
I think this is a fantastic idea. Let me take it just a bit further! There are so many people complaining about the new merit system that there should be a way that a user can opt (pay a small fee perhaps) in to using the old activity ranking system. This way everyone will be happy!! If you like the merit system opt in to it, if you prefer the old ranking system opt in to it, win-win!!! Oh I almost forgot to mention, opting in to the old ranking system comes with one little sacrifice. Anyone opting in to the old ranking system would have there signature privileges removed permanently, NO SIG FOR YOU. Now lets see all these whining shitposters and farmers opt in to the old system they loved sooooooo much... Thats a awesome idea. I could care less about the sig campaign. I wouldn't make it in one to begin with ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Yeah all the whining shitposters and farmers who doesnt like the merit system dont pay attention to what theymos stated before about removing signature and all kind of way to get money from forum if the merit is not succesful enough to decrease all the shitposter and spammer in this forum. I guess the really want that to happen.

The only real benefit of ranking up is a bigger signature with more styling options and an avatar. That's the reason all these guys are whining about it being difficult rank up. Not that it is difficult to anyone using the forum for its intended purpose, it's only difficult for spammers with no interest in Bitcoin.

The activity requirement for membership ranks should be removed. All it does is encourage the spamming of pointless messages, which leads to low-quality discussion literally everywhere in this forum.

What a silly statement. Activity is there to reduce the potential gains from spamming. In my day when I have become involved in some heated discussions in a forum, I've managed 200 or 300 posts in a day, activity is there to ensure that only an average of 1 per day would count for ranking.

I personally don't have the time to live on Bitcointalk.org. I work 50+ hours a week and login to bitcointalk.org about twice a day to sale misc goods. Now is this fair to me, or others like me, that we can't rank up because of this? Again, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. And I'm fairly sure you know mine. Point is, if Theymos can sell whitelist to be able to post more on Bitcointalk, then selling Merit Rank-ups should be no different.
If you only use the forum to sell stuff - why do you care about merit and rank? Thats really simple and a dump question both. Who will get more sales? Legendary vs Member Member with green trust would probably get more sales than Legendary with red. You really made an awesome comment here. Most of the members do not realize this and they talk bout not being able to get merits. Many among them do not need any merits at all (just like in this case). If I am getting a good service at reasonable price from a Junior member, I will keep buying from him. I also provide some online services on other forums and all buyers chat with me before placing the order. Any experienced buyer can judge you in minutes with the conversation you do with him. I had also purchased services from other members there and it makes no difference to me if the member has any special badge associated him there.

No one is really concerned about the forum and whether it is benefited by the merit system or not. I think the admin should make hings more strict for spammers with future changes and never ask for any suggestions from members here before making those changes.

So being able to buy whitelist is ok for Brand New members? You can't have it both ways.

Sorry for the double post (to lazy to edit the last one lol). TBH I meant this more metaphorically. Shitposters are here exclusively for the sig space and good members enjoy some passive income for something they are already doing. In reality almost no one would opt in for the old activity ranking system (with sig space permanently removed).

You want information about merit sources . What do you plan to do after getting that information as you have already ruled out the possibility for merit begging ? Will you go through their posts and start commenting there to get their attention ? This will not work with the merit sources as they are very much experienced and will easily spot this behavior. They may even add you to ignore lists. Forum admin has intentionally kept the identity of these merit sources secret as he was aware of the possible consequences of revealing it.

Because there was not enough time for potential investors to get acquainted with a few high quality posters. it turned into an industry but the forum kept the old policies of a classic community.

With that kind of post you more likely dont receive any merit. Try to keep making quality, constructive posts and you will surely be rewarded over time.

I do not think you will be able to survive long with this attitude. Instead of posting quality content here, you are looking for shortcuts to gain merits. You might not be aware but this might be very much irritating for the readers. I am sure that a lot of members will add you to ignore list because of this or in worst case you may get negative trust for this. Both these scenarios will result in exactly opposite of what you are expecting.
