how you guys think about MERIT ?

[shibaji]

Well to tell you truthfully... I really feel discouraged in this MERIT system they are putting in this Forum... for me it is a big discrimination to low ranking members like us... you deny us the opportunity to earn more and you deny us from being promoted to a much higher rank, I guess all those high ranking members will gonna still gonna receive the highest payment in every Signature Campaign and all of those low ranking members like me will maintain the most lowest payment in Signature Campaign.

How you guys thinks about MERIT? good? or?
any opinion ?

For me the idea of merit is good it will helps clean the forum from spammers since people will be required to make a quality post to rank up and join signature campaigns but it made me worries because the required merit is quite difficult to achieve since fewer are giving their merits while we our in need this to rank up I hope sendable merit will increase so we can meet our target

Well it's too bad the garble-babbling, shitposting, signature-spamming NOOBS ruined it all for you.  There is a very good reason the merit system was put in place, and it's a crying shame it's not convenient for you.

With this new system, it's calling on everyone who needs merit points to rank up to seriously up their friggin' game.  That's the bottom line--you really have to work harder to rank up now, and yes you are at the mercy of other members to provide those merit points.  It's led to what I can see as a big black market for merit points, but some DT members are tagging people who've obviously purchased them or who are sending them back and forth between alt accounts.  I've got to decide whether to get on board that, but I've been chained to the toilet with flu for the past week and have not had much energy for reading on bitcointalk.

I'm still thinking it's a great system.  It's still making me smile.

This is a good example of a typical shitpost that'll never be deserving of merit.  All a big, garbled, run-on sentence with no punctuation or thought put into it.  Great job, Sofishitposty@@.

Interesting how defensive you are, given that you yourself went up to the rank by shitposting. Just from this response, you should get a de-merit - may be we should start that too - then you will just have 'L' left from your rank.

Still confused why people keep moaning and crying like a baby. They don't understand, this system is new. And, We don't know is there any changes with this system, so now just do what you should. Agree with you about this system is Great, any reward for quality.

PS. : Hope you Get Well and yah, Flu is annoying

hi guys i am new in this forum, how do i get merit please help me

Read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350

But to be honest, you won't get any if all you can do is post bounty entries.

... and who decides a "shit" vs "good quality"? It is my opinion, and I have expressed it. It is your opinion that it is wrong mentality, so be it!

The users who care about this forum. If you keep making good posts, you will get merits at some point.

And before you ask what is a "good post", I would say that if you make insightful posts insted of posts whose sole purpose is to increase your activity, you are in the right track.

thank you sir for the information and it really helps me to be more careful and make a better post to get merit, although I think it's hard to get

[Boybugwal760820]

All I can say about this MERIT thing that you are adding in this Forum is that it really makes difficult for a LOW ranking member like me to be promoted to a much higher rank so I could say that this MERIT thing is like a discrimination for LOW ranking members like us to be able to be promoted and reach the highest rank such as LEGENDARY rank. Gaining MERIT is a near impossible to achieve because who will bother giving you a MERIT when almost everybody in this FORUM are busy doing their own thing to finished the assigned task on them from all the bounties that they had participated.

[FoBoT]

I didn't know what is merit is all about or what is the use of it but i have merit in my profile. Anyone knows what is merit for?

Find my discussion in this trend. Meriting Introduction is to scrutinize the forum by reducing or cubing low quality posts in order to boost activity ranks and more like that. Furthermore, to increase/improve the forum standard and encourage every member in the forum to be pro active. Anyway, I feel it's high time we stick to the forum with important ideas of constructive wordings.

[goigiacmove]

excuse me no much time to search now
what is that merit ? i have 100 and i see that some people have less, what is the reason?
what is that for?

This one
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0
However, if you don't have time to search for information, rules of the forum, you should leave.
Why joined the forum but don't have time to read new rules. It sounds terrible! Additionally, the forum is a place for discussing ideas, learning from each other. What are your purposes to join the forum, fella?

It should be difficult and it's not discrimination. Is it discrimination when people require you to have passed your driving test before you're allowed to drive? No. Now only people who have earned their right to post by making quality contributions will rise through the ranks. Ranks should mean something other than you just made one post every fortnight for a certain amount of time just to become x rank etc. Now ranks will actually be earned by both time and effort as previously it was far too easy for anyone to farm as many accounts as they wanted just by posting rubbish. The system now prevents that. Make great posts and you'll be rewarded over time but if you can't make great posts then you'll probably struggle.

Good, if everyone in this forum when reading a thread he should also read the comments of the thread. And if he finds a good quality thread and comment post that I hope is he gives merit, which I fear people on this forum are stingy to give merit. With the merit it is expected that bitcointalk users can contribute and provide a good understanding of people who want to know the world of cryptocurrency, as well as a source of world information crypto.

[Jigsawman082076]

What I can say about this MERIT system that they are implementing in this forum is that only the HIGH RANKING MEMBERS are the ONLY QUALIFIED MEMBERS for a HIGHER PAY in SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN, I doubt if these LEGENDARY MEMBERS will even reach FULL MEMBER if there was already a MERIT SYSTEM during those times when they are still NEWBIES or LOW RANKING MEMBERS like us. MERIT SYSTEM are just being made for the benefit of the HIGH RANKING MEMBERS or let me say to those who are already in this forum for a long time. MERIT SYSTEM serves as a WALL that BLOCKS the low ranking members like us to be PROMOTED.

[Yankae]

For me, I really think that putting the merit points to be able to be promoted is a big discrimination to lower ranking members like me and it is very unfair also for us, lucky for those people who where here long enough I'm sure they got promoted already without any problems and discrimination because there were no merit points during their time and they can easily get promoted no hassle, no problem at all.

Stop complaining and just be thankful that you're still here,this is for the good of this small community.Higher ranks should deserves those merits as they are the pioneers of this forum.

I think the merit system is the best think what could happen on this forum. Im on internet forums more then fiveteen years, and i never saw something like this. So many people are just spaming the board the reach a rank or just to have their post done for the bounty campaigns. The poor mods cant handle this amount of spam. When you look at the any new airdrop topic, its a horrible mess. They post the same airdrop 10times with each a ref link even posting ref links are against the rules. So this merit system will stop the spamming and bring back qualitiy post!

[Jigsawman082076]

I am really disappointed about this merit requirement thing they are putting in this forum... So I could not be promoted anymore because I'm sure that I will never get the required merits so that I will be promoted... no one cares here to give anyone a merit, so this thing merit requirement is just a big obstacle for low ranking members like us to become legendary members just like you! For now low ranking member like us don't have any chance anymore to be promoted one rank higher.

I think you are missing something. Merits are being used in a quite a large amount. Just look at the Merit statistics. It is all public for a reason.
Stats: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats

If nobody cared to give merits, this whole system would've been a bust when released. Instead, we see a flood of qualitative posts and people appreciating them.  One great example of one user who has exceeded with merits is nullius. He is a newer member of BCT, yet has 225 recent merit awarded.

I think you just are not looking at the right place.

Remember though, the point of you being on the forum is not to rank up. It is meant to have a good discussion about topics, and gain some new information through it. That is what merits are meant to do. If you are on the forum just to rank up, you might want to realize that that is why merits are not being awarded to you. Please just take a look at your most recent posts. Do you think you would award yourself merits and state that your posts are qualitative posts to be recognized?

Stop complaining, crying about merit system because you can not change the fact that the system was launched and it will be there forever. You have to adapt to new system and rank up.
Furthermore, I have spent a couple of minutes to look at your post history. What I found is most of your threads are on Alt Discussion, Bitcoin Discussion, and Bounties boards. I don't thinks those boards are good place for you to get merits because higher ranked users rarely visit those boards.
The final point is you should not begging for merits, instead focusing on your contributions to the forum.

To be honest I'm a weak person, I'm very difficult to get merit, I do not have the skills, so I have to get merit it with difficulty I will continue my learning will not despair,
Actually merit benefits very well, helps the intelligence so that no origin of the post that could be spam, so the benefits are very positive though deserve.

You are a Full member and still consider your self as a low rank member ? I am still a junior member and more than happy with my performance here. This might be favoring the old senior rank members currently but with time all this will get even. Also, we may see some changes to the merit system is future and if that happens, the senior rank members who are posting useless posts should be targeted. There can be a rule like if a senior member is not able to get 5-10 merits in 6 months, he will move to lower rank.
