Hello bill gator, I'm actually trying to do something similar, but with a little twitch, since although I review the posts and threads, I intend to use it more like a personal filter. You can still check it out in case you would like to participate, but I'm not searching for a review on that one (Thread here).

The thread I'm actually submitting for review is (This one). Although it's actually good to receive merit for what we do, what I really hope with this is that maybe my thread will be more visible, and I think that's important (otherwise I wouldn't be doing it).

Thank you.


EDIT: Forgot to add this one. I think it could be important since the merit system is quite recent (Thread here).
It's just my opinion, but maybe it could help other users.

I don't see any of these as particularly helpful. There is some half-decent information, some misleading information, some burred replies, but overall I would expect the OP to merit you if they consider your post helpful to their predicament.


It seems that your posts are always a bit vague. While they may be helpful as a starting point for somebody that has absolutely no knowledge about bitcoin, security or trading whatsoever, I doubt this is going to be the case for almost anybody that reads the post. If you elaborate, clarify or create more helpful points then I would happily reconsider.


You posted in the wrong section and made suggestions that are not well thought out whatsoever. I don't know who you believe this information to be helping, or why you believe it to be high-quality. I will not be giving merit for a post that doesn't argue it's own point very well, doesn't follow forum guidelines and just sounds like a whiny entitled post about how people should play by your rules instead of having freedom.

Please take your time to review these posts:

I have given this thread a Merit, because while it has been said before a million different ways, this will give me something to link newbie's too (or PM them) when their thread gets out of hand. As you said, too many questions get answered too many times and turn into mega-threads filled with spam and people activity farming.


I could not read the local thread translation for the guidelines, but I'm sure the local board attendees will hit you with some merit for your effort. The other posts, some were interesting to read, some made me chuckle and some went way over my head because I am not that smart. I have a feeling that a couple of these may have deserved merit that wasn't acquired from me, simply because as I said before, some just went over my head.


There are a few that I wish I could've merited, but these posts unfortunately will not be receiving merit from me at this point. My merit is running out, and so my criteria is becoming more stringent. Keep doing what you are doing and you will farm up that merit like no tomorrow; You are having conversations worth having, disagreeing in meaningful ways, plus you put thought and effort into each and every one of your posts.


I have given each of these posts Merit, unfortunately I am getting a little bit low on merit and this is causing me to be a bit more conservative than I would like to be. You post very thought-provoking and interesting posts, very regularly. Your posts about whales, price manipulation, price correlation all of it is very interesting and I have "Watched" a bunch of your topic, because I hope to get involved in the conversation at one point or another. It is always stressful to read through dozens of posts, but I look forward to reading your posts in all honesty.

I don't understand any of these posts, at all. They are one-liners or just show random information that isn't helpful to anybody (except maybe OP). I see OP is giving out merit for what they are specifically asking, which is why you received merit for that post, but other than that I don't see why these posts deserve merit from anybody. I won't go into grave detail, but these posts are not creative, high-quality, constructive or helpful in my opinion.


One of those posts is deleted, so I can't even see what it was, but I'm willing to bet that it was not very high-quality if it was deleted/removed. The rest of these posts are pretty garbage in all honesty. Two of them are talking about social media and not even in a complex, sophisticated or intriguing manner, just simply "which is best?!?!?" Not interesting and not a fun conversation to even read, I was extremely bored even trying to find where I could give you a merit. If these are truly your most "meritable" posts, then you should not expect to rank up, period. Put some more thought and effort into your posts, and then feel free to come back and re-submit your posts.


The marking $100 bill thread made me smile, because it's just hilarious to have someone running around with $100 bills that say "Bitcoin is better". The statement is true, funny and will make people say "What's that?". Probably not the best way for spreading the word, but it got a smile out of me and I figured that's almost as good as a merit. The other thread is in a language I cannot understand, so I won't be able to tell whether or not it deserves merit; therefore, it does not receive merit from me.


You are wrong about sending bitcoins without any fee. This is not impossible as you've explicitly stated in your post, it certainly is possible and used to be the case. One post is literally just asking for the link to a signature campaign that accepts newbies... That alone makes me not even want to click through the rest of your posts, because you're clearly either trying to waste my time or have no conceptualization of what a quality post actually is. I suggest reading through the posts I have already merited, because you keep coming in here and throwing up a dozen shitposts at a time, hoping one of them will stick to the wall. Some are the 300+ reply to a mega-thread, all in all your posts are just disappointing. I don't know why you waste your own time. I would give the "Top 5 Bitcointalk Users" post a merit, but there's just something off about it that I can't put my finger on. It doesn't look like the rest of your posts, which is a good thing, but bad in the sense that it seems to be copied and only slightly edited. I also don't know why you mention a test "admin" account as one of the "best" or most influential users around here, when this certainly is not the case. For these reasons, none of your posts will be getting merit this time around. Please try to narrow your submissions down into your absolute best posts, because reading through posts asking for a link to a newbie signature campaign will most likely cause to me instantly decline the rest of your posts from here on out.


Please stop formatting your links in ways that make it impossible and annoying to navigate. Line-breaks, hyperlinks, lists, all of these make this process take longer; they add extra work for me and I'll probably add a local-rule that if this is something you do then you will be instantly rejected. I understand trying to make your posts look pretty and formatted, but just don't, please. I have to select each stupid tag, push backspace a million times, it's just a headache, please don't do it. This is at least the 3rd time I've said something about it, so I have no sympathy for the posts that will be deleted from here on out because of this. I'm also going to make a local rule of a maximum of 5-posts being submitted at a time, too many people are giving me like a dozen links to look at in one period and most of them are garbage. It makes it so I put a lot of effort reading posts that I really shouldn't even bother, and if I forced the submission size down then these users would be forced to trim off the excess fat.

I know nothing of the lightning network, so I cannot be throwing around merit for technical discussions that I have no input/information on. I'm sure these posts are quality, but again anything that goes over my head won't be merited. I would love to give you a detailed explanation for each and everyone of these links, but it just isn't something I have the time for. A lot of these are decent enough conversations, but they seem to be just that, conversations that are mostly opinionated. There are obviously facts and information being circulated, but one of these posts is the 380,000th+ response to a thread. Things I don't understand, posts that are buried in a thread, repeated information and simple back and forth conversation are not something I will be meriting.

Discussions about Monero don't belong in the Bitcoin discussion section of the forum. I can't be giving merit for posts that are breaking guidelines. It is nice to have your post information about bitcoin not being anonymous, however it can be if used correctly. So I would say that your title is at the very least misleading. These limitations have already been made abundantly clear in the earlier days of development and testing; so while it's nice of you to be posting this information, it is not unique, new or creative. Your explanation of the lightning network was not satisfactory in my estimation. I have read dozens of posts about the exact same thing that did a better job at what you are trying to accomplish. You also post a random thread about "What is Onion and Ripple Coin" when these aren't your projects, have been explained numerous times and the point of the thread is to "pick the best coin for 2018", without even describing what your criteria is. I'm not going to give a description for each and every post, but none of these have earned merit and it is mostly because you are repeating information that has been said many times and is mostly likely not news to very many people. Expect merit from anyone you help, but as for me, no.


It seems like you've been getting some merit from the people that you've been helping with your information. To me this information is not particularly helpful or creative, because whenever I start to hold/trade a new coin this is the first thing I do. It just seems like common sense to me, but as I said there may be those that don't agree with me and they will be the ones to give you merit.


None of these posts deserve merit from me, but that isn't to say that they aren't helpful to someone else. Although, posting about "good" ICOs and the other simple things you've been posting about aren't something I would encourage. I would only promote ICOs that have something extraordinary to offer, and most ICOs these days are just pump and dump cash-grabs.


I will not be giving merit for any of these posts; Some are buried on deep pages, but mostly it just seems like you are having a conversation with OP or whoever else. It does not seem like you are adding depth to the conversation or analyzing different levels of resoultion. It just seems like you are doing what you can to get a post out, there are many typos, which make it hard to understand what you're saying sometimes and there isn't anything helpful, interesting or particularly high-quality about these posts.


You are not 2-weeks away from senior member with posts like this. You will not receive any merit for 1-liner posts that are primarily made up of 3-letter acronyms for new ICOs. None of these deserve merit, not only from me, but from anybody. I would be impressed if anybody actually gives you a merit for these posts; you need to step your game up a lot if you want to have an impact around here. You need to explain, elaborate, clarify and justify everything you are saying. You can't just say  
some current ICOS im looking at... NEO ICOS are the big rave right now
APEX, NEX, ORBIS, VDT

check those out
and expect any merit. You are acting as if you are entitled to your rank up to senior member, which you are not; I would expect to make big changes or remain at your rank for a long while.

Hi again,
Here, I gathered and organized all the threads I found about members evaluating posts and giving merits. For each one, I did a little introduction of which post shall be evaluated.

PS: it is in Portuguese Section.

I have given this post a Merit, because I have seen this question asked a million different times. I have not seen very many adequate answers, and most of them just say something like "The government wants all your coin" or "It's bitcoin, you don't have to pay taxes". All of the answers I have seen are not legally sanctioned, legislated or even good advice. Your answer is very thorough, it explains the situation, the caveats and contingencies. I like seeing a well-written, well-thought out response to OP when it doesn't seem like they're getting it from anywhere else.


These couple posts are of a similar vein, but they just don't stand up to the first post, so they fell a little short of receiving merit from me. They are not as informative, helpful or have their foundation in legislation in the same manner that the first post was. I would not mind reviewing your posts in the future, because you're an interesting read.


Neither of these posts will be getting merit from me. One is complaining about KYC from bounties, which I disagree with, but is not relevent or helpful to many members around here. KYC is primarily for financial institutions operating with clients from particular regions. The other is talking about potential vulnerabilities in the ledger, without any explanation case-study or research cited. I can't say these are quality, or helpful, so you will not get merit.


Way too many typos, which make it almost impossible to read your posts at all; let alone decipher what you are actually trying to say. Threads like "Do you believe in crypto?" "Buy or Hold?" and "Pump & Dump" are not threads that will be getting merit from me. Your posts are thoughtless, filled with mistakes and contradictions; these threads are boring, uninteresting and repeat themselves daily. Try to have an interesting conversation with somebody, instead of just responding to "Yes or No" questions and trying to expand it into an entire post.


None of these will be receiving merit from me at this point. Most of them are the 200th+ reply to a mega-thread, adding no new information, responding to nobody and helping nobody. The couple of posts that were not buried in a mega-thread were 1-2 lines of unhelpful conversation. They do not offer a nuanced or informative opinion, and they do not add any depth to the conversation. If you were not in the thread, they would have changed negligibly.


You share your opinion on what a constructive post is, without actually saying anything. You just mentioned the categories that a constructive post would fall into, which nobody refuted or said certain categories couldn't be constructively posted in. Then you proceed to talk about how you deserve more merit for your posts and are proud of yourself for tooting your own horn. The post about selling your coin, you basically just say "I agree" in a long-winded manner. In one post you talk about how decentralization is a catalyst and incentive for abuse and manipulation; I would like that point elaborated, because I think you're talking out of your ass and do not understand what being decentralized means for "abuse and manipulation". None of these deserve merit, but feel free to improve your posting quality and resubmit some better posts.

I never click on suspicious links, not saying your link is suspicious, but I am not on a VM right now and I never take a risk that I don't have to. I have never heard of that site before, which is perfectly understandable, because it seems like this is a project you have been working on. That being said, most people already have their casino(s) that they like to play at pretty exclusively. Obviously there are new members signing up and some old members becoming frustrated or just intrigued, so they decide to transfer over. With this being the case though, I doubt many people will find their casino(s) through your site, they will simply use word-of-mouth or other reviews that are already in place. I hope your site takes off, but at this point I don't see who it would be helping and I haven't clicked the link to know whether or not the site is high-quality.


I know you mean well, but I don't generally like to feed the ICO crowd, because they seem to act like stray cats. You feed them a little, then they come back for more and they bring their friends. OP put no effort into their question, and I do believe you answered their question better than they would've guessed. I just wish these types of questions and answers were not needed, because OP could have easily used the Search function, googled it or a plethora of other options that would've led them to their answer. I unfortunately do not know anything about IOTA, so I can't give merit to something I do not understand. I'm sure it is deserving, but hopefully OP will merit you as they should.


I have given you Merit for this post, because although the information has been presented many times the Bitcoin Discussion section is going down the tubes. I would much prefer to see conversations such as this taking place as an alternative to the spam and mega-threads we are currently seeing. Yes, you are coming to similar conclusions as other members, but there is nothing wrong with this; it appears as though you are trying to do some digging, figure out what's going on and then ask questions in the pursuit of improvements and knowledge. My one suggestion, would be to STOP begging for merit in a bright red color (or at all) at the end of your posts; it is extremely pathetic and will most likely cause users to avoid meriting you altogether.


It is not my job, purpose, inclination or desire to motivate you to become a writer. I'm just trying to get my merit to those that I feel have earned it. If you are motivated by your own success and the fruits of your hard-labor, then I'm sure we can find mutually beneficial ground that we'll both be pleased with. The posts about trading have been beat to death, so I won't be giving merit to either of these. I'm not sure if the Legal section was the proper place for this thread, and in all honesty it is a tired/boring conversation to talk about why banks might dislike Bitcoin.


While I can say it takes a big person to admit their mistakes and faults, I am a little bit disappointed by the conclusion you come to from the thread about "Merit opening your eyes". You have all of the right information in front of you to make a meaningful conclusion, you notice your posts are bad and unhealthy for the forum, but then the only reason you seem to want to improve yourself if for making money in signature campaigns. This is not a good motivation, obviously there is nothing wrong with being motivated to make money, but the problem emerges when you are specifically catering your actions solely for the purpose of sucking money out of the forum. The other posts are buried in mega-threads and add no solid information to the discussion. I will not be giving you merit for any of these submissions. I hope you continue down your path of improvement, but I hope you realize a better motivation.


You must be trolling me, going to delete your post without much review. You did not post in these threads, and there is no message linked (probably deleted) and the threads are absolute garbage anyways. So whatever you could have posted in there, was most likely not going to receive any merit from me regardless.

Hey there, thanks for doing this! I don't know how you feel about foreign language posts, but in case you speak German I'd kindly ask you to review this post I made in a beginners' thread, comparing the exchanges Litebit and Coinbase based on my personal experience with both. If you find that you can't properly judge the quality of the content, I understand perfectly.

I don't know enough about these ICOs to give you a merit for organizing them in this manner. A lot of ICOs have proven themselves to be worthless scams that're desperate to grab money. I'm not saying this is the case with your list, but I would hate to give merit and be supporting the potential that is there. As for the second post, I do not understand whatever language that is so I unfortunately cannot read it. Since I cannot read it, I also cannot merit it; feel free to submit more of your posts though, because it looks like you put effort into your posts, more than 95% of the people I see.


With all due respect, you do not need merits. You need water. The first post is the 1000th+ reply in a mega-thread, the second post is the 200th reply in a mega-thread, the fourth post is the 1300th reply in a mega-thread, and the other two posts are very generic, boring and don't seem like there was any effort or thought put into them. None of these will receive merit from me, and I hope that you start to actually care about what and where you post.


I won't be meriting this post, because I'm not informed enough about all of the news, whether it's positive or negative I don't have the time to pay too much attention, unfortunately. I wish I could give this post a merit, but I will keep my eye on it; If I get the time to verify the current events and it seems like you are maintaining this thread then I will certainly merit it.


I have given these posts Merit, they are very high-quality and one of them seems to be very similar to what I am doing here. It doesn't look like you have been as busy as I have, but the idea is there and I can appreciate that. Thanks for sharing the wealth and paying it forward. I also enjoy your thoughts about the merit system, instead of crying about not being able to become a hero, you simply acknowledge and move on to the new system and how to properly adjust yourself into the new forum.


I give merits daily, sometimes I don't get to catch up for a few days; definitely more than once a month. None of these posts will be receiving merit from me. I did not even consider politics to be something I would merit, and I will probably add a rule not to submit political posts. I have a feeling that merit will be confused with agreeing or supporting your political opinion and I choose to stay away from that section of the forum to avoid the endless arguments and clashes of subjectivity and perceived identity. The other post was simply a post that could have been replaced by your meriting the person you are praising. The final post was just a link to an article that you said "I think will help". I'm just not able to see the benefit from any of these posts.


I have given you a Merit for this post. People are going to start thinking I'm biased, because I give you a merit for almost every submission; though, I will say that you are very good at writing up posts that are worth a merit. Every time I read one of your posts, I either learn something new, have a question or feel the need to jump into the conversation and have my opinion/stance heard. Feel free to continue submitting, because you are someone that deserves all of the merit that has been sent to you.


The one thread is way too simple and not enough information being shared to be worthy of a merit. This other thread "New to Bitcointalk" I almost want to merit you for, but it just doesn't feel like it is giving OP enough information; they are asking about signature limitations and you mention how to rank up, without actually letting them know how their limitations will increase, how long activity takes or even mentioning the new merit system which is just as important.

Hi again,
Here, I gathered and organized all the threads I found about members evaluating posts and giving merits. For each one, I did a little introduction of how the posts will be evaluated.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2841480

I wish I could understand these threads, because I think this a really cool idea. I won't be deleting your post, just in case someone else stumbles upon it in my thread and would like to utilize your thread. If I had a reliable translation software, or if I could speak the language I am sure you would receive a merit. This is a very interesting idea, and will help grow this idea of mine into a huge High-Quality posting fiesta.

Hey there, thanks for doing this! I don't know how you feel about foreign language posts
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2567218.msg29480462#msg29480462

I know this thread is a bit daunting to read through, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one. I will probably add a Local Rule in the OP so that people don't have to guess which languages I do and do not speak. I unfortunately do not speak German, but I have a few friends that do so I will leave your post here for them to take a peak at when they have the time. Feel free to submit English posts, though!

Everyone up to this point has been responded to, reviewed and either merited or rejected. Thread has been cleaned up (for the most part), if I have missed anybody, please let me know.

Thanks for the opportunity, i would be happy if you can review my posts :

1. My post about how people feel about merit system on Meta section. I gathered statistic from my thread and made an infographic from it.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822349.msg28909933#msg28909933

2. My infographic post about a suggestion on thread titled "solution for the spam problem" created by blazed

I got a little bored roaming around.
And since I have nothing left to do may I ask if some of my post can get merit from such a pro like you.

Here are some of them.

Ignored Local-Rule, I'm not even looking; all rejected.


I have given both of these posts Merit, and I have to say that I am quite impressed. It's always a pleasant surprise when I click a link and actually feel like there was work, creativity and thought put into the post. Your "Thoughts about the merit system" post is ridiculously awesome. It isn't going to get anyone rich, or solve world-hunger, but it gives a very interesting look at how people have been feeling about the system. The poll, the graph, the discussion criteria, all of it is very unique; I have not seen another member doing something similar and with as much effort/creativity. Keep it up, because your info-graphic is pretty cool too. I think there may be some flaws with the idea, or rather the flow of your algorithm, because of cliques, bias, etc. Regardless, I can tell you put care into this. You are bringing information and opinions to the table that others are only whining about.


I almost didn't, but I re-read the post a second time and I decided that I would give this one a Merit. It speaks honestly of the state we find our beautiful forum-home in, while criticizing your own demographic. It is simple to the point, mentions that some old members got lucky by being grand-fathered in and that newbies will simply have to earn their place.


I have not given merit to these posts, unfortunately, because they read mostly like a regular conversation; this is not a problem, but if I am not in the conversation then I would have to suggest that the merit comes from those in the conversation. Simply sharing your thoughts and opinion are not going to be something I regularly merit if I can help it. I want to encourage objectivity, or opinion with a firm objective stance and helpful information that may benefit somebody.

I have a lot of sMerit points sitting around. I would be happy to contribute some to the posts in which you find worthy. Please PM me when required.

Edit: I should have been more clear. This is a message meant only for the OP. Please do not PM me begging for sMerit.

I hate that I have to do this to you, but I am going to make an example out of this, because you are violating a Local-Rule that really grinds my gears. Don't add all of the tags and nonsense around the link, because makes it so annoying to use for my purposes.

Local-Rule : Do not format your links with tags, hyperlinks, lists or line-breaks. I will delete/reject your submissions instantly.

P.S. I probably wouldn't have merited anyways, so feel free to resubmit, but I would suggest different posts.


Thank you, for coming back and abiding by the rules this time around. First post is 3000th+ reply in mega-thread. One post is telling people to blindly invest without knowing anything about bitcoin; I can't say that this is good advice moving forward. Maybe something more practical, such as "educate yourself about bitcoin and decide for yourself". One is just conversation about trading, nothing particularly helpful or informative. The post about taxes I have no clue how that relates to the post you quotes, and I unfortunately cannot see the point you are trying to make. The last is just giving some half-assed advice about sometimes selling bitcoin for fiat under vague circumstances. None of these are going to be getting merit from me.


You broke a Local-Rule about languages, but I would've let that slide since there is still some I can read. However, it reads like these are some generic school project that someone was either forced to write for a school-project or paid a very small amount of money to write. Almost like a copy-past article of something, I don't know; there is just something odd about an account that started posting yesterday and is doing these strange type of posts that don't seem to be unique, creative thoughts; more like summaries and odd-essays.


No problem, that is my mistake for passing you; this is actually more work than most people might think. I feel bad that I have passed you the first time around, and then this time around I have to deliver the unfortunate news that I won't be granting you merit for this post. Although, this is helpful in the manner that I normally would merit, I don't feel like meriting posts that encourage low ranking and uninformed users towards signature campaigns is helpful to the health of our forum in it's current state. The OP should be meriting you for answering their question; you can't expect much more in this type of situation, but feel free to submit again.


Local-Rule : Do not post more than 5-links in one post ; therefore rejected. I'll say this, adding local rules has really helped me sort through the people that don't care enough about my time for me to care about their time. Feel free to resubmit and follow the rules; I hope I don't have to enforce a blacklist in the future.
