Merit not for sale!

[hahay]

I just want to add, merit can not be mocked just by a friendship or partnership, there may be some in this forum who have partners to manage campaigns or whatever. Keep behaving justly at all, there is no good reason to give a merit to a close friend or work partner, it's the same as selling a merit in my opinion.

[nolestiket]

I completely agree, the status should be deservedly received. If they had not introduced Merit, the forum would have turned into one big bounty company.

[winwinmaimai]

I do not know how about merit update.
Can anybody tell me how to see merit upgrade. I see my merit is 10 and no raise to higher.
Why is bitcointalk upgrading more merit, it only makes multiple acount clone support each other.
If update, I thinks better is using code 2FA

[Fantastic33]

Merits are given to posts that are useful and constructive. Yup its hard to get a single merit but we need to work hard for it. We must improve our post/s and make sure that those are of high quality, and can give us additional information or new knowledge. Lets all be fair when it comes to this merit system. Its not all about ranking up, but what we can contribute to the world of digital currency.

[whirlcoin]

Yes,I agree merits are really not for sale.
But why the people keep repeating the sane asnwers over and over.The implementation on merit system is to stop the spam posts but now people are spamming with merit system.

OP LOCK THIS THREAD TO STOP SPAM POSTS.

I completely agree, but I think it's okay than selling your merit. Cause selling merit, sound like buying the service of others to get your account famous for an instant. Instant is good but hard work is worth it and favorable on my own view.

This will how the forum runs from this day on, yeah there's still some who'll give merit to others that really have a good posts but the majority will just be a friendship merit.
I understand what the moderators are trying to do and it's good tho but the system won't run the way they wanted it to be.

Sorry but,I just observe this, having a merit points is not easy.Because as you can see, many of us ignore the merit system. Some bitcoiner make thread like this just to make some noise that "HEY, I HAVE A GOOD POST THAN OTHERS(its long paragraph) send me merit now" by providing their own link post. How cruel...

 Common mate anybody has different view of this new feature, and for you to know I am not promoting any of it here. I want to speak out loud to let people like us that we don't have to do buy and selling merits, even thou its easy or hard for any individuals.
 let us always remind ourself that we should show professional courtesy to ourselves and to others.

It is not easy because people like you are not sending merits. You shouldn't ignore system.

Don't be jealous.

[Daboy_Lyle]

Yes we all know that selling merit is not prohibited by the administration.  You can get merits by constructing a very useful post and meaningful. Merit is the points given to you by the other users if you helped them by your post.

I don't know why people keep on whining or seems to be jealous among others post. Instead on minding others post better to mind your own on how you do accumulate merits.This would really be a test differentiating a good quality and a shit poster but it cant really be avoided that someone or people do abuse this system which we have seen already.

[richardsNY]

I don't know why people keep on whining or seems to be jealous among others post. Instead on minding others post better to mind your own on how you do accumulate merits.

It's obvious, people look to rank up by getting the required Merit count, where they see how others are being awarded Merits for their posts, even if the post is indeed written for the sole purpose of receiving Merits, and how they themselves aren't getting anything. It's simple, people want to rank up to make their account be eligible for signature campaigns, and when they see others are doing better in that regard, it stings them. And yes, they should be minding their own business -- if people opening threads spend as much effort into getting their posts quality up, they would probably have earned a few Merits already....

[Chikitita2004]

I also dont like this merit system. There are disadvantages to it but as you have said, we need to abide by the rules and besides, there is not much we can do about it but obey. Anyway, maybe one day theymos will change his mind regarding this matter and i hope he will make some better changes on this. 

[sohel436290]

Yes, I think so, merit is not for sales I stopped Like this think as I know very difficult to get merit points but it's necessary to legality for Bitcoin Forum. this way is very important for all, merit system will probit good result for hard working and no way for the shortcut. I think it's very bad to think merit selling and buying maybe some people will choose it but it's not the right way. finally, I am happy with the merit system.

If you see someone spamming you could just press the "report to moderator" to submit those posts that made you think it's spam and add a comment saying the post is a repeated/paraphrased answer so the mods could quickly understand. If OP lock the thread then other users including newbies won't see the thread anymore.

If the merits gave a negative impact on the forum maybe he would but for now it's unlikely that he'll make some changes to the merit system.

how to get merit?

[rickadone]

there is no good reason to give a merit to a close friend or work partner, it's the same as selling a merit in my opinion.

Rewarding merits to insubstantial posts or rewarding for the reason for friend or anything else must be a breach of forum rules and which may lead to get negged. We need to understand the true purpose of merit system and we must contribute up to the level we can for fighting against spamming.

how to get merit?

Just write quality posts. As simple as 123...

[AltheaHeart14]

I felt sad regarding this issue, the purpose of merit is to improved ourselves to give quality post. Selling merit is not helping' you just torelating them not to improved themselves, it is a part of the rule so we need to follow.

But that's not always the case that people do easily get merits even on good post made by them they aren't still getting some merit which it would really be hard on ranking it up. Somehow I do think off that if you are a person which don't have any friends or not quiet popular then it would really be a disadvantage for you but yet there are still people would really recognize your good post.
