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

[yojodojo21]

OP is a level racist HAHA. Full members and up also need merits but, as what you have said your competition your rules.  As what I have expected before entering into this thread that there will be complains about it, and wish come true. It is also a challenge for us full members to achieve enough merits, by doing constructive and quality post. But, Dev knows the best (thanks to admin theymos).

O.P. to the next level.

Bud let's work on getting some of the lower members up 1st. If enough senior guys get involved we can do higher levels

I don't understand why they're referring to you as someone who is "racist" when all you just want to do is to help those who are unappreciated due to their rank. Just because he is requiring English posts, that doesn't automatically make him a racist. He is just being practical as most of the threads here are in English and in order for you to be hired in a signature campaign, it is important that you can write cohesively in English as most of the local boards don't count in the requirements of a campaign. I appreciate your kindness and how you thought of encouraging the lower ranking members that they have a chance in this forum. Thank you for noticing their efforts and for giving them a chance to prove that they can earn merits, TMAN. Let's all help one another here, especially those who needs it the most as we all had hardships in achieving our ranks.

It's hard to us to grow up in crypto currency world, especially now merit was needed to ranking up. I guess even how many activities you have in the following days or months if you can't get some merit you can't ranking up.

In my side it was a big challenges to us this merit system, I guess we need to improve more our post to get some merit from the other members.

Like the others I'm giving only my merit if I got some knowledge or information to the poster. I don't want to give my credit merit to the post who have low quality.

Thanks bud, just remember pay the merits forward and think about your posts then you will earn more.

I've been lucky as I have been active in meta the last few days and have been given a ton of merits for supporting the system. But when this all settles I will need to take an extra 30 seconds on posts and not just button smash if I want to get to legendary

Right I am so fed up with all this stupid moaning..

this is the new structure..

Rank   Required activity   Required merit
Brand new   0   0
Newbie   1   0
Jr Member   30   0
Member   60   10

so I will offer to level up a brand new, Newbie account or Jr Member to Member... only 1 person will win this challenge, the requirement is that they must be a native English speaker and make 40 constructive and relevant posts..

so - newbies.. post in this thread, then make the necessary number of posts and re post in this thread. i will check back in a week and chose my winner, if I am not satisfied with the quality of the posts then no winner will be chosen and I will roll it over for another week until a winner is chosen..

so people, stop bitching and contribute..

hopefully this will encourage some of the newer members to stop moaning and start getting with the program

EDIT..

As people have been raining merits on me like money mayweather in a strip club.. this thread will stay alive for a while.. i will check in on the regular, but I can see this being a permanent thread if people keep on raining them down on me I will have to keep on paying it forward.. for all the naysayers this thread will be proof that the system works..

cheers

This thread isn't for spoonfeeding people who can't read. People need to help themselves a bit before I will help

I've been stumbling in my haphazard way through the forum and I noticed that (Merit abusers aside) the only place any merit is moving around in any quantity is in Meta. Granted, I don't have the time nor inclination to do an in-depth analysis, but that's what my cursory exam of the child boards I participate in shows.     There may be updates, but don't hold your breath.

[TMAN]

It will spread. I bet 75% of the forum still don't know what merits are yet

[goyal.dkg]

good step indeed . hope you are also a smerit source who keen to help new members to rank up with quality posts .

edit - I am not applying for rank up as i am already a member . 

[lok8nusa]

An aside to my earlier reply (#51):

I only had 169 page of spam to filter this morning, which is down from the >200 I mentioned yesterday in another thread.
I'm not making attribution; I'm hoping that there is a connection between merit and numbers....

I am not a source fella. If I was it would be raining merits more than it is.. I gave out my initial sMertis and most of the sMerits I received from others.

I'm doing this as I want the forum to be a better place. Go back 4 years and it was a cool place to be, not so much any more so if I can chuck all the merits about that I get then I feel I am doing my bit to help others

[JinCrypts]

I'm joining to your challenge, hopefully will get the chance to win lol. But still im gonna keep posting constructive post in this forum

This is the real essence of sMerit because when you received a merit you'll be given a chance to give out to. Keep up what you're doing sir we all want a better and cleaner forum in the future. Kudos sir TMAN

[tuanbct95]

That's the point, TMAN.
I have also written a thread which propose some minor adjustment for merit system. Please check this one if you have free time.

Of course, the merit system is unfair with its original rules. There are lots of low-qualitied Members, Full Members, Senior Member, Heroes, and Legendaries whom simply ranked at their current levels by old system of the forum. We can judge them about anything in the past anymore. All of them passed the ranking system before merit system launched. Ok? We have to accept the fact that now they are high-class in the forum.

As a result of that, I think Junior members should be allowed to join campaigns, including signature, bounty, airdrop, in the forum. They deserved and should have a right for those ones.

First of all, cheating is one of basic instinct of human nature. That's not strange at all. The problem is how to correct original rules of merit system in order to get rid of and at least control those cheating behaviour better.

I have missed 4 more activities to be a Member next week, as a result of merit system, my progress will be delayed for a while, might be long time. Of course, I feel very dissapointed, I cannot ignore my true feelings.

However, let's take a look at possitive effects of merit system, which help me to write better, higher-qualitied posts. Those sort of posts which I have not ever written before, it's good, right?

I am very optimistic about the significant impacts of merit system.

Thanks admin Theymos for the great one!

Not bad. I think the merit system should adjust and do the following two things:
1. Limiting the maximum merits which each post can receive from one user.
2. Limiting the maximum merits which each user can send to another per day.

Those two will help us to control spammers, cheaters a little bit better. They can buy/ sell/ exchange hundreds of merits daily to only one user.

In addition, I think the system should be adjusted to give users, paricularly lower-rank users, such as Junior Members like me, a period-gifted merits. The number of automatically allocated merits should be discussed more. For example, 1 merit per month. It's not much, but it will give new users motivation to join the forum. For newbies, new users, I guess it is a little bit hard for them to write such as meaningful, constructive, high-qualitied posts, right?

They should have another chance. It's simply my opinion.

The limitations on maximum merits donated per user per day sound good, and should be taken into consideration too.

The idea is good. I would love to take the challenge, but can we reduce the posts required? I mean 40 posts a week is quite a challenge itself, and that might generate some spam from users trying to be up for the challenge and not being able to make them constructive. You will probably reject them but the forum cannot reject the posts made by them. So I think it would be a better idea to reduce the posts requirement for your challenge. If you do that, I'm taking the challenge, but If not, then I let others to take the chance.

I put 40 posts so people are trying to make a large quantity of posts (as in signature campaigns) with the restriction of the posts being more than shitposts... so if people cannot do that then they should not be in a signature campaign so have no real need to level up.

I know it may sound slightly harsh to some, but if people just want to be part of a community and learn from this place then they can.. but they wont be getting merits and level up help from me.

[TMAN]

some of the subs are just cesspools

+1 on this, it feels like most of the currently active users are either shitposters, spammers (both these tend to moan the loudest about the recent merit introduction) or should have never left their local boards in the first place.

I hope making 40 consecutive posts that bring any value to the forum will make the prize of the challenge redundant to any participants. Either way - good luck everyone!

Right.. I know it is a little early, but I have gone through the posters in this thread and you are the man... you are trying, it comes across in your posts bud.. so you get the 1st level up.. its a cheap one for me as it is only 4 merits. This shows that others are recognizing quality posts which is fucking awesome..

if it keeps on like this and people keep on meriting me then I may be able to bring the next level up even sooner!!

well done Cry4Crypto - in future I hope I can assist in leveling you up to 100 merits
