how you guys think about MERIT ?

[Jet Cash]

I don't understand why people find the merit system here so diffcult to understand. If you aren't intelligent enough to read the main stickies and undertand them, then what chance have you got in understanding anything about the world of crypto,

Also, it is obvious from the complaints, and the creation of rubbish threads about merit, that the main objectors are the newer members who feel that it stops them from collecting money from the efforts of the long term and senior members here.

If you can't comprehend the merit system, and the good that it is doing for the forum, then please leave and get a job as a cleaner or McDonalds burger flipper.

How you guys thinks about MERIT? good? or?

Merit is good and also a bad one. Merit helps the forum for spamming and also for having a good quality posters but the negative effect of merit is farming and abusing those sMerit to their alt accounts. It is very unfair to us, we're just new to this forum and even I am having good post I didn't receive merit.

I certainly agree that merit helps the board for spamming. I see that you polluted a thread by spamming and embedding that massive infographic, presumably this was in the hope that you could scratch a bit of merit. The reality is that if you do it too often, you will be put on ignore to preserve the legibility of threads.

See the merit abusers who you are thinking are getting into alt account farming is actually being done for the greater good. These account farmers will use their merits to rank their accounts - which can have two possibilites :

1. They will be caught and read tagged by DT. OR,
2. They will run out of merits sooner or later.

The first option will negate those account directly from trying to make any money from shitposting. The second one will actually put those accounts in a doldrums state - because they are inherently shitposters and wont be able to rank up their accounts further. They will remain stuck until then improve post quality and all.

It is really easy to find merit farmers due to magical designed of merit system and its mechanism. As you can see in the following link, there is a massive merit farmers was found, and all of componental accounts was banned permanently.
More mass merit farming
Spend seconds to read your thread gives me a feeling like you are merit beggar with negative attitude about merit system. It's not good generally, so you should change your attitude and your approach. If you can't do this, you should leave to other forums. This one is not appropriate place for you.

Merit system has both advantages and disadvantages. Its really hard to get merit for normal person with low skills. It is very tough to get merit for good post. Though its quite hard in the begining, its very satisfactory when i contribute a post with quality. Though it takes time to receive merits, its appreciated to continue giving out quality posts as much as one can.

Do not give incomplete picture here. It is true that some of the members tried to abuse the merit system by giving merit points to their alts but what happened thereafter . Most of these profiles got recognized and were given a negative trust by the senior members. In other words, merit system indirectly helping in eliminating these alt accounts from the forum. I agree that the merit points sent by them got wasted in the whole process and those merits should have gone to deserving members. Consider it as a sacrifice for betterment of the forum.

[tbct_mt2]

Agree.

Merit system has both advantages and disadvantages.

If they don't have enough skills, they should learn more, practice more, experience more to become more skilled, more experienced, more knowledgeable. I don't see any reason for hurry to get merits.

Its really hard to get merit for normal person with low skills.

Sometimes high quality threads will earn merits, sometimes they won't. Consequently, please do pay too much attention on merit system. You should do your contributive threads, someday in the future, you will rank up to higher position.

It is very  tough to get merit for good post.

The merit system is working perfectly. Less spam, less shitposts, less megathreads. Now people are not just ranking up to enroll in signature campaigns. They are contributing to this forum for its own sake (Not all of them). In addition, I do not know who gave Theymos the idea of the merit system. But if he came it up on his own, then I salute him. And although many people are still complaining about it, it really is helping others to make good quality posts.

I personally welcome it. I don't know how others would feel. Though it takes time for me to get merits, I am satisfied with the way I post and the quality I give to my posts. I do refer data, sites and other stuffs before posting new thread bit questionnaire . I have changed the way I post. I skipped getting into the sections with Discussions as these said to be spam areas though there are valuable threads.

Eventually, merit system will control all spammers in the forum, keep them stucked at their current ranks, makes them dissapointed and might leave the forum forever. At earlier stages after launch of merit system, they complained, cried a lot, but over time they have to accept the fact and have to adapt to survive in the forum, to rank up or have to leave the forum.
That is magic impacts of merit system.

[mdayonliner]

Well, I think it really needed to stop the posts like you did on the OP.

Mate seriously (?) to find the opinion you had to create a new thread on the section.

You would not needed the whole lot of time that you have spent to write the OP, if you were looking around just on this meta section for your answers.

We need to shift our focus on something else than merit now. 

 

[jeruk nipis]

good, with merit, then inevitably the person must make a post that is informative and useful to others so that they can take the rank. If only the post made carelessly until whenever they received no merit and could not rise to the higher rank.

[Gembul0705]

in my opinion it is a positive thing. Because with the merit then at least we will reduce the posting of less quality or spam. And for beginner or newbie like me, I will try to make a useful post/thread and can provide usefull information for all member in this forum to raise my rank.

[lovepale]

In my opinion it is good in general if the purpose must followed. But you know why sadly I get red trust because of merit that I didn't mean to have it. I did not cheat, I did not copy paste but because of my massage about merit I have red trust now. 

[BlackPanda]

For the higher ranks, yes its good but for the lower rank it's not. For us lower ranks, it's really hard to gain merits. We don't get merits because they don't think that the topic was constructive but you think it was. It depends on the merit source. It's really hard for us lower ranks to make a high quality posts that meets the standard of the merit source

You should not think like, because then your mindset will not be motivated to be able to contribute to the forum. And many opportunities to get merit, I think in this forum many people are smart and professional, so you do not worry when you see your condition is still at a low level. Merit is still growing and now you should be able to do much better to get merit, you just need to contribute and also make a quality post and also useful. Believe that when you do your best then you will get the best too (Merit point).

System merit created to help the development of the forum because some time ago scammers and spammers very much at all, in fact now it has all been reduced. Merit has made many changes much better and we should support this useful move.

Is it just me or does anybody else here also thinks that these accounts are made by some account farmer trying to farm these accounts and/or trying to asslick the merit system like the old pajeet shitposters do in general in order to get some merit in a sneaky manner?

Regardless, seeing all these threads about crybabies tell merit is good merit is good - only shows that people are forced to accept it and are now forcing themselves to make some quality posts.

Watching.....

[mdayonliner]

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

Honestly speaking, after seeing the number of posts by you, I thought lets see why you did not receive any single merits (Hoping I will give one if I find a good one).

But seriously!!!

Find me a reason and point out me for which one you deserve a merit please.

Please stop doing such things. You are giving a bad name to this forum. This a community where we talk about blockchain, decentralisation, bitcoin etc. We help each others to prepare for the future technology to make a big difference in the world.

[pandaki85]

Merit is a good thing, this is important to quality our activity I think. Because Bitcoin players views as essential for all things.

Let's make quality posts and get Merit!

[Sova_tmb]

Merit it is a good idea for this forum , but to my opinion not fully considered , many people sell merit its a very bad. i think may be if every user to get merit once a mounth it will be good. Number of getting merit depending of forum rang. For examle: 1 merit for Junior 2 to member and so on. It may be a reduce interest in buying the merit.
