TMAN's Level up challenge.-- UPDATED...

[fxstrike]

This is a good initiative to rank up members as much as we can manage

But I think this would hoard the 40 merit point into one single person and its not the point of the Merit system, its should be given to anyone deserving it including those post you not agree with, as soon as you see one, so far I've never seen one that I can categorically characterize as such.

I myself still haven't spent my sMerit yet but plan to spend it as soon as possible to get the system move just like an engine and economy in the real world, when there is part stop moving the whole system start to collapse and break.

I think a healthy Merit system is where Merit spending velocity should be at least circulate 10 times in single month to generate as much members going up their next ranking in one month, probably more than that would defeat the goal of the system. Just my quick estimation

As I am not native speaker, I may not able to take up the challenge but would like to see what come up from this initiative.

It would be fun to see how this system moves the merit, I think it will follow the same model how Velocity of Money determine how healthy the economy is.

WTF does all that mean?

and that??

If you know your English isn't any good why are you posting in a thread asking for merits where I said that non native speakers wont get merit?

You are just being mean, its simple English, not too bad but not perfect either, I just feel that it is interesting experiment to follow as I have some theory of how this will turn out, that is why I reply to the post so that I can find back the post later to check how its going on.

I did state that I cannot participate, I am just interested to follow the story

I am a native English speaker, and am fair with Spanish, French, Italian, Tagalog and six North American Native languages.

I'll repeat the question because I want to know: WTF does that mean?

Do you understand all that language to evaluate their posting, are you Filipino by chance ?

[STT]

He is talking about an economy and how often will Merit circulate.   The merit system is more like a commodity because its being used up along the way, velocity will diminish unlike BTC where the same 'coin' is never used up.    Its not really comparable then.  

This is all voluntary, if people dont really get the gist of what you post just keep on going.  No biggy really.   I'll merit whenever I feel like it or not, so yea completely biased to whatever post I appreciate or agree with but I'll take a look at fxstrike's other posts.

Its a very loose system, no economy or I hope not.

Hey It looks like this thread is still rollin, so I am a native english speaker and i am down to try to win this thing for sure. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is kinda my passion now, and I found work at a crypto so i could pursue said passion. I appreciate you for offering this reward.. You sure as shit didn't have to.

[imjustagirl]

Did I understand this wrong, wasn't this a "monthly" contest?
It's march and I have not seen a new list by TMAN.

[Zlatangu]

TMAN THE MAN. I like you already, not here for your smerit's though.

 Maybe no other person ever particularly mentioned this to you, but: the way your honest self works is really f****d up.

This is off-topic and TMAN will clean it up soon, but I'm not fluent enough to provide the service, even if I had the time.
I'm not Filipino; Texan.

How it is off-topic when we are discussing about Merit here which involve inspecting user's post quality, does it not involve understanding the language of the poster ?
And what are you talking about when you say but I'm not fluent enough to provide the service ?
What service are you talking about?
Why you have to be fluent to provide the service?
Are you working in Voice Assistance Service like when you call 1-800 some Asian people answering the phone ?

Maybe nobody here has earned his merits yet?

Speak proper English please or GTFO. What does that even mean in English?

Sounds like a potential candidate. TMAN, you need help evaluating pajeet posts etc, let me know?

I keep reading but don't see anything decent. If anyone senior sees anything I am missing out here please let me know

No worries, thanks for considering me! Though not ALL my posts are about gambling, heh. Like this one!

I guess a key distinction I'm wondering is if you really aren't finding any "constructive and relevant posts" as stated in your original challenge request or is it more the necessity of finding quality posts that are ALSO of personal interest to you? Your response to my post made me think it was more the latter than the former, but I could be mistaken. It's also your challenge after all so it's completely up to your discretion.

I only ask because at least one other member has a similar challenge, but requires that the posts be about his/her particular areas of interest. Not sure if that's what you ultimately wanted in your own.

I don't understand gambling so it is unlikely that I will merits posts there. As for the post above yea it's cool but if you had used search then you would see multiple other similar threads.. quality is also avoiding duplication

I'm back to rant on about the fairness of the merit system. Should rename the thread to TMAN's literacy awards 
I was just reading on the thread about alt accounts and the more I read, the more humiliated I felt about such merit give away threads.
There are old accounts just sending 10 merits to numerous alts, achieving member status in a snap for their signature bots, while there are real non-alt intelligent people in such threads going out of their way to prove that they deserve member status. Wish I had unlimited merit so I would award it to real people who actually contribute and write decent posts. I don't think the posts should be award-winning, I think they should have only two requirements: 1) be on the subject 2) make some sense in expressing the thoughts of the author. This forum is about bitcoins, remember? Not an English literature class. You don't have to be a major in literature to receive merit, seriously. The more of these threads I read, the more I realize how disgusting this is. These threads all look like older members bullying around the newcomers, because 90 % of the comments are something like "Sorry, I don't like you, you get nothing". Nothing personal TMAN, I just like your thread most, so I decided to express my feelings here. Everything I say goes towards 99% of the merit give away threads I have seen. I am still thinking about how it should be done and maybe in the end I will make a constructive proposal on the merit system change.
