I see you've been ripped to shreds by DT for posting this thread and trying to sell your merit. It might do you some good to take a peek at how other users are properly distributing their merit. This forum and it's new features (restrictions) are not always an opportunity for you to capitalize and make money off of it. Sometimes it is as simple as there is too much spam, merit will help combat that; you are literally trying to defeat the purpose of their entire merit system and turn it into a pay-to-win structure that awards nothing except money. While this would act as a deterrent of it's own, it is foolhardy and would result in a disgusting forum.

Lock this thread, recant your statements, adjust yourself accordingly. Message the DT members that have tagged you and ask if there is anything you can do moving forward to get their ratings removed. You just stepped on a lot of toes and show you care very little about the health of the forum or the guidelines we operate under.

You can come back from this, what happens next is only on you.

Exactly, some people are not able to think through long-term perspective. They just want immediate good wether it brings long-term sorrow. This is a classic example of a money-centric approach which often neglects the pursuit of knowledge and its importance. As you rightly pointed out he should ask for DT to reconsider their action and move ahead in the righteous direction.

[Pulithey1986]

I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed since the merit system isn't fair and your told there is no need for you to keep this and you are encouraged to give them away, why shouldn't a person decide to sell them if they wish?

Because it goes against the very integrity of why the Merits were created in the first place. While it’s not “illegal” (you won’t get banned for it), many DT members will red tag you for trying to “game” the merit system if you try and blatantly sell them.

And for the record, I totally think the merit system is fair. The ones that say that it isn’t generally only shitpost and don’t actually contribute to any dialogue carried out on the forums, IMO.

I wouldn't even say they are acting resourceful or greedy, they are acting as you would expect them to, desperately. It is a big problem and extremely disrespectful when the same people that were spamming shit-posts around the forum prior to the merit introduction are the people buying and selling their merit. It is pretty sad, but they won't get far with this strategy, their very small pool of merit will dry up and then it will be distributed as intended.

I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed since the merit system isn't fair and your told there is no need for you to keep this and you are encouraged to give them away, why shouldn't a person decide to sell them if they wish?

I love the "2-wrongs make a right" mindset that you are operating with. Even if we agreed with you that the merit system isn't fair, how does that justify taking advantage of it and exploiting it for monetary gain? You are trying to make it seem as though what you are doing is correct and it just looks pathetic. The merit system is as fair as anything, those who post high-quality contributions to the forum will be rewarded while those who do not are not.

By the way, it is allowed there are just certain members (a lot of them Merit sources) who think this behavior is toxic and would ruin the forum/merit system, which it blatantly would. They are correct for tagging merit sellers, just as it is right to tag trust sellers; It removes all integrity and purpose for the system in place.

[F2b]

For sure, people selling merit points is not a good thing, and I think it can ruin the system.
However:
- we know that the merit system as it is today is not fair, for several reasons : firstly, from my point of view, merit will be given mostly to OPs, but less for the people posting brilliant answers ; then, more merit will circulate in high popularity thraeads, with lots of people reading them, but the guy that take on his time to help people that ask questions on less popular threads will never get anything. The problem will be the same in the local sections, with less trafic, so less merit points circulating (we are currently talking about that in the french section).
- people will continue selling merit points. This is only the beggining.
I'm sure that we will also see new behaviors in the near future that are really bad for the forum, like people asking for merit.
By the way, if you liked this post, give it a merit point!  

[bitsticker]

one may say that the system is imperfect, though he should also point that low quality posts degrade the forum. one way or another some filtering system has been expected. it will work its way out to a better quality i believe

[bill gator]

Who is "we"? We do not know that the merit system isn't fair, because it simply is fair. From what you're saying people that post unique OP's that are extremely popular and helpful will get more merit than people asking questions in those same threads (or other less popular, helpful threads). I do not see the problem. People that post popular, helpful, informative contributions to the forum deserve more merit than somebody that simply had a tough time understanding the discussion. I fail to see your point.

If this person is helping somebody in a less popular thread, then the person they've helped can merit them or even another user that also found their post helpful; you know, the entire point of the merit system? Merit means you've earned it through competence, if you earn less than that is strictly and exclusively your fault/problem.

The problem will be the same in the local sections, with less trafic, so less merit points circulating.
- people will continue selling merit points. This is only the beggining.

Less Traffic = Less People to give merit = Less merit circulating in local sections; Again, where is the problem? Should local sections be given additional merit, just because they can't contribute elsewhere? Those that sell merit will be tagged by DT, will not become a significant source of merit and will disappear within 2-weeks. I've seen multiple people tagged and run-off the forum for this kind of behavior already.

If less people find your post helpful, you will receive less merit; if there's less people in that section then there is naturally less people that are able to find your post helpful, therefore you need to expand yourself to other sections of the forum if you plan to progress past the merit levels offered in the aforementioned sections. Again though, forum ranks don't even matter... Why does it matter and where is the problem? It just seems like you and everyone else complaining about merits is worried they'll never earn merit, quick tip You are the problem if this is your concern presently.

By the way, if you liked this post, give it a merit point! 

I'm sure that we will also see new behaviors in the near future that are really bad for the forum, like people asking for merit.

You are a cringe-machine, this is not funny. Asking for merit isn't "bad for the forum", it's just bad for the person asking for merit; they won't receive more merit because of it, and I'd be willing to bet it has the opposite effect.  Behavior that is bad for the forum will naturally get scratched out by the DT members that do not allow for this kind of nonsense.

Yea indeed, the move he made was quite selfish those merits and smerits are given to improve the forum from signature spammers posting on bs topics.
And he tried to sell that hope. You're correct it's his mistake and an apology might work in this case and will be an example to smerit sellers in future.

Someone is trying to mess up the system again.

We should be more considerate and have more respect on admin/s implemented the new rule.

By the looks of it, the DT members disapprove of this practice, and your trust just took a hammering. How could you not predict that this would happen? In any case, do you actually think 26 merits would be worth $50? Merits.... $50? Doesn't compute.

If people really wanted merit, they would post highly quality material here on the forum, the merit sources aren't exactly stingy with their sMerit. If you post something worthy, you'll be merited. Anybody receiving merit suspiciously (e.g. indicating it has been purchased) is likely to take a hammer just like you.

But such account is a bad influence on the forum. Off course, a member that goes all the way to sell merit and with multiple red tag would perpetrate more attrocity with the same account if allowed to continue.

I guess an existing account continues to generate merit (if not stopped) which obviously would be used irrationally and inappropriate. Is just a bad influence.

[Pare1981]

So how does this actually work, when I reach 240 activity and my merit is short do I make a post and ask members to provide me merit to move up to Snr Member or do I just hope and pray someone gives me 150 merits which is next to impossible to receive from users? Lets be honest this merit system is just like the DT0 where Theymos is in control and there is nothing you can do to get on it but to be friends with the guy, I wish to see only 1 person who went from Full Member to Snr Member or from Snr Member to Hero or from Hero to Legendary ever since this Merit system started, which I highly doubt has happened.

Personally, I think it's similar as selling one's trust. But can trust ever be sold? Trust is earned and has to be worked hard on it. It's never a good idea to sell one's merits as your merit is something like a prize, a trophy, or an achievement of some sort. But sometimes you can't just blame someone selling something like this as life becomes harder these days and will do so to profit for anything that can be made as money. No different for other people selling their chastity just to earn money.

I would have to disagree with some parts of your statement, most people on the forum only received a few merit and that is about 50 if your lucky, so when Theymos says you need 750 Merits to move from Snr Member to Legendary do you believe it to be fair and attainable? It would be great if there was a way to earn merit automatically and not given to a few members to control who will move from 1 position to another.

What I have seen with the merit system only friends and people who don't need them are the ones who are sharing them and not giving them to the ones who need them, someone should be in charge of this system and review who deserves to move up, but it would consume way too much time so I don't believe it would ever be possible, form my point of view this is a screwed system that will destroy the forum unless people decide to check you Activity and not the position written on your account.

If you doubt that these people are sharing the merits with each other simply check below:

Merit stats
Top-merited topics, all-time
Top-merited users, recent merit

This is quite pathetic to see that a market has evolved out of merits now. This was posted on bitcointalk and hence it got notified but what about those who might sell it on reddit or on other forums. Merit system works well if the users are ready to play fair and contribute in a way so that the people who are new to crypto may feel safe, informed and learn a ton of knowledge within few weeks from this forum. Hope merit system is not abused to a higher degree.

The purpose of creating a merit system, to my knowledge is to encourage members in this forum who care about their level to provide good quality posts. Your level is far above me, but with the topic you make that way by offering merit buying, I do not know if you understand or not the purpose of the merit itself.
Even if you sell merit at a lower price than you offer though, sorry I do not want to waste my money. It just makes me stupid and does not want to learn to be better.

After having read this OP I have realized we should start to have a Crypto Darwin Awards for idiots like this guy who has managed to suicide his Senior Account by trying to earn a few bucks in the open attempt to destroy an useful system of merit which has been introduced for the purpose of rescuing this forum from the proliferation of idiots and garbage.

[LuanX3]

No point really for anyone to get his merit as it would result to anyone receiving any merit from him to be red tag. Actually, he just created a dangerous precedent as he could just send merit to anyone and possibly get the receiver red tagged for no apparent reason whose only fault was receiving the merit. Anyway, hope this ends here and no one gets hurt.

I also feel if you make the effort of disrtibuting some merit on good posts you should get a small merit reward yourself.

As it is now I feel it is a little counterproductive and it might backfire as the active use of bitcointalk seems less attractive for new members.

For young members would be great incentive to look into merit if they get a rewar of 0.1 or 0.2 merit each time they give someone else merit. Not sure if that is technically possible.

Good luck!  You (and the others too, including me) certainly won't be full member before a few years.

I believe  merits not  for sale....but people  will not still give it out.... Even if you provide  good but still members with merits will not give you... Now you guys have end up selling  them .....the Supreme  being is watching you guys

Why are people with higher rank acting like this when crypto is in such a bad stage. really , selling the merit , i think the merit was implemented by the forum admins to make quality post from users.

Dude, this post is 7 months old!
Why do you continue answering to it???
Besides you're just saying the same as the others, so your post is pretty useless.

By the looks of it, the DT members disapprove of this practice, and your trust just took a hammering. How could you not predict that this would happen? In any case, do you actually think 26 merits would be worth $50? Merits.... $50? Doesn't compute.

If people really wanted merit, they would post highly quality material here on the forum, the merit sources aren't exactly stingy with their sMerit. If you post something worthy, you'll be merited. Anybody receiving merit suspiciously (e.g. indicating it has been purchased) is likely to take a hammer just like you.

Anyone who will buy or sell sMerit will probably get negative trust rating and if I were the admin like Theymos I will ban those account doing that.

Look like thread starter already banned.

I understand your point of view and I totally agree with you on this, but can you be nice enough to award me with just one merit out of the goodness of your heart, I really need this pls?
