People might sell they're merit points.

Yes people might sell their merit points but with time situation will get better. The merit points will get scarce with time and will be in hands of higher level members who will not risk their account credibility for earning few bucks by selling these merits.

Basically, the new system is designed in a way that will keep getting better on its own. Also, some of the members also got negative trust based on suspicion for merit farming. So, the higher ranks members are already doing their best.

Merit need to considered bitcointalk forum is world largest communicated forum with earning opportunity it should have its legacy forever

[pxo.011]

in my opinion if this will happen it will be a bad system of criteria, how about the people give effort in every post to give a chance or hope to be ranked up. so if this issue happen then sorry for everyone that cant afford to buy merit.

Hello guys i saw some newbie has a merit points haha.what do you think?they buy it or not?because anyone who had merit points can be transfer to other people or sell them to other people.

I think the newbie has a merit it's because of it's quality posts or maybe they also have alternative accounts and they gave their account one merit. And if someone sells merit it is certain that anyone who sells merit will be blamed. mr. Theymos upgrade the system to control shitposts, spam posts and specially to offset the quality posts. Selling of merit is prohibited.

I do not think we need to buy or sell merit because it will make us risky and become unfair, all we have to do is make good post and quality so it will be advantageous for us if anyone give merit to us.

[cosmoo]

I think people will use this opportunity and moderators or developers of this forum will stop it somehow.

Really ? Thanks for your information. I think this is great, forums will be safe from spamming accounts, so we do not have to fear one day the number of posts we will be deleted, because the thread we reply is spam. And also great for reducing the workload of moderators to take care of dummy accounts.

I think you would buy it , and basically still researching this what so called the merrit (smerit). And people who have merit have a chance to rank up you need a merit same as your activity right now. So ofcourse many people will sell it just to rank up.

I will like to quote your post just so that it might get notice by new members that are reading this thread, you seem to answer most of the concerns that are being posted by users below you. I think this is one of the reason why the merit system was created in the first place, people are not reading previous posts, they just seem to answer questions that are being posted by the OP and not interact with posts that are being posted before them. I'm just new here but I've notice this happening in a lot of threads.

it is prohibited to sell merits becauseit was mention by luptin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0. ..and its unfair for the users that doing their best to help the forum and accepting no merits,while those nonsense account that only do spamming and shitposting would gain merits because of buying from other accounts.this is not tolerable at all

The only unfair thing about merits in m opinion is making it a requiremnt to ranking up, there are plenty of poeple who are constanly posting some productive posts and people don't give them merit, so they don't rank up as fast as others, while people with multiple accounts who are always spamming the forum could abuse this system and get into campaigns and rank up before those who actually stick to the rules.

What Shenzou said is on point and I totally agree. Some of the people here have been posting constructively ever since they joined but they go unnoticed since they are unpopular. A lot does not receive the recognition they deserve and I hope the merit system changes that. Also, I do understand that this will encourage people to construct valuable posts. However, it would be hard for the new members because they are not yet considered as credible due to the fact they are new. I hope they get a chance to prove themselves and have a chance to gain merits so that they could move forward in this forum.

Yes I just thought out if someone is posting some valuable post and created constructively and because of unpopularity he/she can't rank up I think that merit score should not be a requirements for ranking up or maybe merit points can be earn automatically if the systems detects that it was a valuable post something like that because it's become hard to someone to earn merit scores if he/she got unnoticed in the forum. Because if merit score will be earned from someone then It was really hard then.

just my opinion I hope it will be get better.

[ellabanana]

Selling smerits is possible, well, others may use it to earn more, but it is something that must not be done. If this situation will happen, the essence of this new system will not be valued. Actually, I was against at first with having this new system in which, you need to receive merits to rank up because it's quite a hassle, but, after some time of thinking, it might be good for everyone. With this, spamming will be prevented and having multiple accounts will also be discouraged. So, let's just look forward for its good effect in this community.

[Tszunami98]

There will be always people who will abuse the sistem...there are people doing it for trust rating, account farming and such. This doesent mean that the sistem is not good or something... just be fair and stop thinking at these kind of things.

[almaroof]

How do i earn the merit point?

[edsnow2017]

people that will be found out that were selling and buying merit score just to earn money and get higher ranks should be banned in the forum because greedy are polluting the forum.  

[adjudicator]

Hello guys i saw some newbie has a merit points haha.what do you think?they buy it or not?because anyone who had merit points can be transfer to other people or sell them to other people.

Yeah,I think that too. Newbies that have a new account has a merit in which some of then are selling their merit to earn money. I think if this will spread all over in this site, I think they must be banned or what so ever.

You did not consider that a person might be a newbie here but not in cryptoworld. Also, newcomers might have a different and smart perspective.
