The new merit system: The good, the bad, and the ugly! The good: Only the quality posters will rank up. The bad: Even if you post quality contents you may not get many merits by the people. The ugly: When you post great content many people are lazy to click and go to the next page and add the merit(s). Share your thoughts about this merit system latest development, thanks How ironic is not it? there may be a possibility to level up for the newbie to the member level, but to climb to the next level is very difficult and takes time. It is true that you say, most people are just busy to comment on and are too stingy to donate merit, although there is, it is good to be given more than 1 merit, although they have a lot of sMerit.

Users should not ask for how many merits for each of their high-quality thread. Why? 1. They might subjectively think that their threads are high-quality, but in fact those threads might be actually low-quality. Therefore, those threads don't deserve to earn any merit. 2. In case of their threads are actually high-quality ones, they can not earn merit ore more than one. Why? It is due to the fact that one thread might be useful, helpful with one person, but it might not with others. Different users have different background of knowledge and have different problems. How many merits they give you depends upon the level of satisfaction with your threads.

I strongly agree with this one. It seems that even how hard I exert my effort in making a good quality posts, I'm still ignored and rarely get merit from the others. Honestly, I'm less motivated right now to continue my account here because I suffer a lot from adapting this new system but i still choose to continue because I believe that the real loser is the one who surrender. What I always do to remove that negative thinking is I always convince myself that this point is not my limit and that I can do better.
A member here also inspired me to keep going, he is "hugeblack". He still could be able to rank up despite of the implementation of merit system, he only proved that nothing is a hindrance as long as you strive hard.

Until right now some people are still holding their sMERIT, i don't know what concern they have that they're holding it. And some comments are not seeing by the quality any longer. Say if you make thread and get amazing comments, why you don't give MERIT to them. And i think if the moderator give us MERIT if us have quality in our posts.
sure some people are hoarding merits, but checking out this page of the thread everyone is posting coherent English and on 1st glance is not a moaning pajeet shitposter and each member has a few merits. So in time as sources are replenished the merits given to these posters will increase as the circulation increases - this may take 6 months or more, but in time the less "famous" posters will also see an increase in merits. No pain no gain and all of that Jazz

Well i know it is hard, but it is not an impossible task. At first i i was being skeptical too with merit, but i just keep going and do my best. Here i am now, waiting for my activity to go up to Sr. Member rank, and if the data of OP is right, i maybe in the 0.1% of people who can rank up.

Me too. I strongly believe in the merit system. With it, eventually constructive users will be ranked up to higher levels, and spammers will be consequently stucked at lower ranks, merit farmers / account farmers will be found and banned. Unconstructive users will be eliminated over time. Due to merit system and new rank requirements, users need to be more constructive to move up which result in general higher quality of the forum threads/ topics. With old ranking rules, users have to spend around 3 years to reach Ledgandary rank. I think 3-year-perod is long enough to earn 1000 merit points. It's obviously possible challenge.

It's very hard raiting up now. This system should be slightly changed, for example, given to members with a high rank every month a few merits.

I agree that it should be changed. I think there should be a restriction that any member who makes a post containing the word "merit" cannot be awarded a merit for seven days. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

This way, the changed merit system will go further away from its original purposes. It is harder to rank up due to merit system, even if you want to reach Ledgandary position. To reach there with old rank system, you will need about 3 years after creating new account. I don't think you can not earn 1000 merits during the long 3-year-period. Shit posters can not get 1000 merits even if they have 100 years joined the forum. However, constructive users can earn those numbers of merits.

I thought this merit system and all the discussion about it was over from long time now but I guess I was wrong , I do understand the people farming accounts and working only for signature campaigns and bounties are very upset with this system , for those people I have only few words : just fuck off and leave this forum alone . This forum is for people who care only for bitcoin and cryptocurrency development , it is not for bounty hunters God damn it .

You too, you should leave the forum because you are merit beggars (50 merits for what a normal topic). Your merit history shows that you likely bought those 50 sMerits for ranking up. However, you seems to try writing longer and longer threads in your last previous pages (I don't want to evaluate your post quality at all). Constructive, useful users will certainly rank up with merit system's challenges.

Yes its hard but I am hardly trying to post a quality to have merits from others.We should follow the rules because it will help us in the future either posting constructive and high rank up.

unfortunately, most people have little smerit and they hardly give to others, i think we may rise to Jr. member or Member, but its very hard to Full member and its impossible to Sr. member, we can just see those shitty hero/ legendary members to get huge rewards from this merit

As a matter of facts, I see lots of quality posts here and 2-3% of the posts were merited. Also you should understand that merit is offered by people on their opinions about your opinion.
