of course, merit system does not bring us any breaking technological feature, but it help us to change the bitcointalk forum. In addition, the system help us to control spammers, prevent them to rank up and become shitty-Hero and -Ledgendary in the future. New rank requirements related to merit system are good, too. Haha, sorry for saying this. I think Theymos did a good work for the forum, generally. sorry, I cant help myself...this stuff is just dying to be mocked...look at the merit given out to the OP, for creating a thread about merit...any new tech here??...anything that will advance the world of crypto??...perhaps a new economic philosophy that will change everything??....nope, just simply announcing a new hierarchical system....
Most of them send their large number of merit points to Theymos at earlier days after the launch of merit system when merits are not extremely scarce like at the moment. Moreover, this is one of the way they show their respect to Theymos for his great work! I don't see any serious problem with this. turned into an opportunity to create an echo chamber of the same idea, where the uber accounts can take turns patting each other on the back, shifting merit back and forth and throwing the occasional bone to some noob that's willing to kiss the ring....honestly, 50 merit points for simply announcing the new merit system??...from 6 different accounts??...what a friggin hilarious puke-fest
You should change, if not you will never rank up in the forum. Good luck my friend.

You should not waste your time on people who thinks he is right about everything and always mocking a system where it can help something to be better although the system is not perfect.

I like you, fella. Yeah, done. Thanks for your nice tutorial, which save my time and help me won't feel annoying in the future. Yeah, you are welcome. I start doing this ignore thing since i have seen some high ranked people ignore other who can only whining about merit yet they are not doing something to make theirself better. It will save us a lot of time and emotion, and save us from meritting wrong person in the future.

Merit points are awarded for good posts, not for valid reports to moderators. The problem is non-existent as the reward is non-existent. You didn't understand how the system works. Read the OP again.

Merit is probably good decision, because there are a lot of new members here, who want only earn here, but I think that required merit is pretty high.

Well there are some people who think that the merit required to rank up is low and need to be higher. For me, the required merit to rank up for each rank is okay, you can attain it if you are worthy enough mate. Learn and contribute, then you may find it is not pretty high.

Well, I see you are tryharder, you are very good at gaining merit, but there aren´t many people like you. They are here to spend free time and don´t want to stress with merit. No offense

No offense Why not reach those required number of merits? I think Theymos set up appropriate and reachable merits for each rank. For example, to rank up to Full Member, user will need 120 activities and 100 merits for the period of 120 days (around 4 months). I don't see any problem to earn 100 merit over 4 months. Haha, it's a little bit hard than before merit system but it is possible.

Yeah, for real constructive, helpful, knowledgeable users, the current required merit to hit each member rank in the forum is fine. I believe users have enough long period of time to collect merit points to rank up. Take it easy and think positive. The merit system and new rank requirements are achievable tasks. It is only un-achievable tasks for spammers, account farmers.

No offense Nah, none taken. But i guess the best free time spent is when that free times give you something or make you earn something, example, earn merits. It is better rather than you dont earn anything in your free time. Just a thought of mine.

Can anyone explain why I am still stuck at 28 Activity even though the 2 week period has already lapsed? Do I need merit to become a Jr. Member?

You are not. I'm seeing 34 points of activity. It takes some time for your activity/rank to update.

Make some good posts and do some contribution in your local board and i believe there will be people who appreciate it. Although it only increases the chance to get merits, it is still better than having no chances..

This new arrangement means newbies,and jr members have to do a lot more interesting and eye catching activities on this forum to increase their membership ranking, while hero members upwards can be in a much more relaxed and laid back position regarding their activities and posts.

Yeah, you should have right attitude about merit system and new rank requirements. It will help you to feel more comfortable when dealing with harder ranking requirements after the launch of merit system. You can not do anything (including learning new knowledge, helping others, sharing your experiences, etc.) if you keep such negative thoughts about merit system. That's my general recommendations for you. I was just told over and over that I wouldn't be getting merit because of my attitude...nothing at all to do with the validity of my ideas (which proved my point)...
There are lots of massive merit farmers, merit abusers have been found and punished with permanently bans from forum moderators. That's final destination for abusers. If they abuse the system, some day they will be punished for sure. the bottom line is that we now have a system than can easily be abused and is SANCTIONED by the powers that be...
No one can stop you (at least with current rules of the forum) to keep creating shitty-threads, topics about merit-related issues. However, you should remember that you will get nothing by doing this. It is simply take your time for non-sense. what is to stop me from opening a new account...going to the merit-related threads...and posting kiss-ass comments about the merit system??...
I understand your feelings, how hard it is. I almost rank up to Senior Member level, but due to amazing effect of merit system, I have been stucked at Full Member rank. Nevertheless, I strongly support merit system, which will help to build up the forum as better place for clean discussions, wipe out most of shitty-threads (mainly come from spammers, farmers, etc.) The period of time required for a Newbie to become Senior member is around 250 days with old ranking system (250 acitivities equal to 250 days). That means newcomers will have more than 8 months to collect 250 merit points to meet requirements of new ranking system. 8 or 9 months are long enough for such a difficult task. I don't say it is easy, but it is possible. Good luck, fella. I will be a full member by the end of summer...easy...and what makes you think that the sock puppets have not already figured that out??

I was just told over and over that I wouldn't be getting merit because of my attitude...
Who told you this? The reason I ask is because that's generally an untrue statement--you can be contrary till your heart's content, but your contrarian thoughts had better be written in proper English. And formatted properly. What you wrote here is kind of a jumbled mess of words that aren't structured into sentences. Normally this is something I'd probably just skip over. I had to look, because I swear I left you merit before. I guess I didn't. But I've left merits for people who've vehemently disagreed with me, and I have no problem doing so. It's the scammers and shitposters who aren't going to get merited (from me). You've already earned more merits than a lot of members of your rank, and that's because you can write English fairly well. You just need to clean it up a little, and that's only my opinion. You are free to do what you want and argue with whoever you want. edit: and I would like to know your opinion of the point I mentioned above about the guy w/ a 95 day old account w/ merit of 104...mostly for posting about the merit system over the course of 60 days...which is 1.73 merit points per day...thanks
I wasn't talking about you, and I don't know why you took this so personally. *Oh, wait, I had to read further and recall blasting you for that quote* What you wrote was total nonsense, and it sounded like the generic shitposts these idiots keep writing to satisfy quotas. You'll have to excuse me if your irony/sarcasm/whatever sailed over my head, because I don't know who you are yet. It's not the first time I've shot off my mouth without first saying hello. I don't have an opinion about the 104-merit-guy, because I haven't looked at his profile yet. Is there a link that I'm missing? But I would point out that some people can be brilliant writers, like nullius, and they can earn merit very quickly. That's super-rare, though. More often than not, when you have a guy with that much merit and that much activity, it's a consummated merit trade. People know how much merit is worth and they're stingy with it. There's no way in hell that a typical shitposter is going to be given merits UNLESS he bought them or it's a friend or alt account. That much I'm sure of.
