there is no such possibility it is not necessary to lie

(( Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text. ))

First, why do you believe it is necessary for you to make your points with bold and Red text? 

Second, you seem to be attempting to address points that theymos made in the thread that Jrashid quoted.  Why not raise those points there, and perhaps make them in a bit more reasonable and substantiated way?  If you yell with bold and red, then it is not likely that anyone is going ot want to merit your posts or to give you any credibility, and perhaps just label you as the kind of scammer and spammer that does not deserve to rank up.

Glad to see this merit requirement for Jr. Members has finally been put in place. Good job, theymos!

I'm curious to see if this will kill the spam in the infested Bitcoin & Altcoin Discussion forum sections since Newbies cannot display any signatures thus rendering their posts useless to bounty campaigns.

On average, merit sources^(now) have less sMerit compared to what the average was prior to the upgrade/additions:

19,500/84 ^sources= 232.14 sMerits
23,045/120 ^sources= 192.04 sMerits

That makes sense: some of the old sources have very high amounts, but most send much less than the average. In the last 30 days:

Code:

    734: suchmoon
    485: chimk
    399: Foxpup
    301: dbshck
    244: Vod
    234: hilariousetc
    231: qwk
    198: Micio
    196: LoyceV
    180: TMAN
    162: Welsh
    152: DarkStar_
    140: EFS
    131: Halab
    127: Jet Cash
    115: JayJuanGee
    113: BobLawblaw
    110: MaRSe
    97: LFC_Bitcoin
    95: DdmrDdmr
    92: bones261
    92: frodocooper
    90: OgNasty
    88: theymos
    87: paxmao
    83: hilariousandco
    75: Moloch
    71: teramit
    68: theymos_away
    67: iCEBREAKER
    63: nizamcc
    63: _javi_
    60: micgoossens
    56: Vlad2Vlad
    55: esmanthra
    54: Piggy
    54: vapourminer
    53: TrollCoins
    52: ETFbitcoin
    51: Gyrsur
    51: xtraelv
    51: o_e_l_e_o
    51: Matthias9515
    51: BitNow
    50: RegulusHr
    50: tomsmith26
    50: SebastianJu
    50: Jasad
    50: bumbacoin
    50: Johnny00

If my counting is correct, my source Merit went up twice until now. It makes sense to start with a relatively low amount, and increase if if the Merit source proves to distribute them properly.

Just noticed the new system, I've demoted to the newbie account too but I think this rule was much needed to countermeasure the excessive spams happening around.
I don't spam post and anyone can check that out.  😭
Feeling kind of sad but hey sacrifices are also needed for greater good and purification of this forum ❤️
Another thing I would like to add, you didn't take any measure to stop people from selling higher ranked accounts.
Don't you think there should be a rule for that too.?

Your posts are as bad as the average spammer in this forum. Your whole post history consists of redundant posts (which are basically just a rephrasing of things that already have been said multiple times in the 30+ pages before yours) that don’t add anything to the discussion. I would never merit any of your last posts.

You are not making any sacrifices... You are part of the problem we are trying to solve.

I'm not bothered that I've been demoted, and I hope I'll make my way to some rank someday. And the point is I'm not begging for any merits anyway, you can keep your precious merits.

What  bothers me that some of the higher ranked members like you who got into the game early when there was no restrictions and now selling their accounts for money.( I'm not saying you're selling though.)
 I hope they'll implement something to stop this too.

Why are you bothered about this? How does this make you more or less of a spammer? Start worrying about making real useful posts instead of disguised shitposts and not about other people trying to bypass the merit limitations.

I may have “gotten to the game early”, but that’s because I joined this forum cuz of Bitcoin and not to join bounties and make money. Actually, I’ve already received more than 250 merits since the system was introduced, which doesn’t make me better than anyone, but someone who actually has a brain and tries to do something instead of complaining all day while writing a lot of bs.

So you are accusing TryNinja and all the other high ranked members of selling their accounts? Well, you certainly know how to win friends and influence people (Dale Carnegie).

Oh, and there is something in place to discourage account sales: it's called getting painted red by default trust (DT) members. Once that happens hardly any bounty/sig campaign managers will accept you.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, and you can see I didn't accuse him for selling, I've mentioned '' some ''.

So I can't voice my concern! Is that what you're trying to tell me? you're more concerned about how disguised shit post mine are but not a bit about the people selling accounts and scamming people.

You can only rank up to Jr member if you get 1 merit. Also, newbies are restricted to wear signature and personal text now.

First of all I have always known this would happen and secondly I am not against the idea but my advice would be that each time a new account is created the account should be given access to a certain number of public thread where they can freely earn merit based on their post. The reason why I feel this would really be of assistance is because most newbies like me find it very defficult to identify a thread where merit can be rewarded for quality post. Once again I really think the merit system is a great idea

[parapencariuang]

I think, this new rule is very fair because it only increases the amount of merit for rank Jr members ... and does not limit the number of new accounts created every day.
Even if this happens (limitation of account creation) it is likely to greatly impact the progress of this forum.
Therefore, we must follow and execute this rule if we want this forum to be better in the future

I agree with you. This function will make more secure and smooth to this great forum. Also it as a way to set new created spam accounts by this way.

Many thanks for your advising, every one has responsibility to improve themself to be better.

I’m gonna give you a shot.

Take a look at your post history. Do you really think you ever helped someone or contributed with anything to the forum? What changed with your posts? Be honest.

[pawel7777]

Wrong. If you're here for the right reasons, it's hard not to get merit. You have zero merits because the system was implemented specifically to weed out people like yourself.

...have join in this forum for 4 months, i take an active part in this forum but it's too difficult for me to get merit. pls kindly help me 

Merits are not to reward activity, but quality. Your entire activity is limited to posting proofs for bounty campaigns.

Feel free to reply with links to few constructive/helpful posts of yours and I'll consider sending you one.
