Merit broke my life

[Cobalt9317]

~snip~

It looks like case closed by nullius

I also test the new merit system but a 50 merit to a random users is like receiving 0.05BTC on my hidden wallet.dat
Not like I can send 50 merit or 0.05BTC anyway

I didn't go through all the 4 pages, but OP already realized, that he does not have 1000 Merits to send to other people, but 200?

Giving 50 merits is not a testing but rather a clear abuse of using merit. Seems soniclord dislike the way of merit system while nullius enjoying merit.

Yes Merit broke my life too, even my post are constructive no one can merit me, lonely no one cares for the newbie or jr.member how do we ranked or earned merit, what should we do? For now many ICO are accepting participants that have a merit or Member up, newbie and jr.member are now suffering.

Your posts are all pretty much just two liners. Not the worst I've seen but they don't really contribute anything constructive and this is the problem we had previously. Anyone can just create as many accounts as they want, write a few words or at most a hollow sentence or two to make it look like they're putting in the effort then hey presto over time you've got yourself a handful of Full Senior/Hero Member accounts. Try offering something with actual thought and not just in two sentences. I think if all your posts here follow some sort of pattern - which yours do - then you're doing something wrong. Your posts will now need to stand out to get noticed and when you're just writing generic two liners they're just going to get lost and buried in all the other spam.

I'm always creating two liners post, and whether it is helpful or not I kept posting like that, I deem the contribution to a constructive post is when you know the statement that you construct is decipherable for a human being not by a robot.

My opinion is that merit is a very controversial tool. I do not want users to be able to influence the fate of other accounts. This can lead to serious abuse and manipulation. Even if the merit of destroying one person's life, it has no right to exist. The bitcoin has gained recognition due to its decentralization and deregulation. I am surprised that the forum where each member is a user of cryptocurrency introduced regulatory elements. I may be wrong, but that's my opinion.

Hello everyone!

When only merit entered on the forum, I started testing - I sent various amounts to different people (I tested the functionality). The next day, comrade actmyname lowered me to the trust with the words:
"Gave max merit to a post that clearly did not deserve it.
Likely alt. ".
I maintain my account from 2015 persistently. My account is my work and life. I wrote actmyname, but he ignores me.
Can tell me how to proceed? Yes, I am guilty, but not so much :-(
I sended PM theymos too, but he is silent too.  
why this attitude towards people has become on the forum?

I think I am the right person to answer this. I used to do SEO for clients and all my work used to come through a single forum. I was banned there for a small mistake and all work (about $5000 monthly) was gone. It took me some time to recover but I learnt one thing, it is not a nice idea to depend for living on something that is not in your control. This account should not be  your work and life.

I think 50 Merits is really Big can be accused with Merit farming. but on the other side still the merits that you're going to give to a single post is still your decision right? Most likely Theymos would be really silent about that. you can talk to lauda and actmyname about your issue with your trust. prove it to them that guy deserves your 50 merits.


50 Merits is really big just to test it's functionality why not even try sending a single sMerits to your desired post/person just to test it out.

I think members who did it within 1 -2 days after the merit system was launched can be given benefit of doubt. It is very much possible that they did this by mistake.

[Tyrantt]

After reading the topic, OP has mistaken his sMerit with Merit, therefore saying "So I had 1000 merits so I tested all the possibilities" or "I had 1000 merits, for me 30 do not mean anything.".

But even if that's so, why would you give it to some random dude when you can find some quality post to give it instead, even to that HODL post. Sending some random user 50 merit just for the purpose of testing (like sending 1 merit instead of 50 isn't practically the same thing) is plain dumb.

Clicked on a random user +merit, typed in 50 and pressed "send" by mistake...

I just saying this not on me but the other member here "now I am pity", I know that you are veterans in this, but I fight for the feelings who are trying to make themselves better on this community/forum, I want to say this that many of us are here to be notice but no one cares because not post but also in ranked, I think someone can moderate/managing giving merit those who are trying their best. Sorry dude but I can't help it my feelings.

Alot of frustration with the new merit system, but it was needed!
I too will get a delayed rank up, and dont see much difference in my posts that are helpfull or just my opinion on coins.

But instead of complaining, try to see which posts get merit and try to achieve the quality thoose users provide Before rank was just time and posts, which made it a paradise for bots.
I got so tired of seing posts like "great ico, cant wait to invest" on pure mining coins i actualy appreciate the merit system even though it takes longer for me to rank up.

This whole topic is amazing, money can't buy you Merit, therefore you can't buy reputation or "power". You have to work and earn for it.
It eliminates the rich from attaining all the reputation.

My dear seniors fast I respect and then question please suggest and guide me, because I am in New just enter rank - Jr member just seniors to help me to foram how to merit in rank increases. Suggest me..

[blackmagical]

just tried, but you gave 50 merits, that is too much for a try. Have you ever read theymos's thread? Merits and sMerits are used for respect only. But anyway, a negative rating for the first time is a little too  tough, I think it should be a neutral.

First of all you need to improve you English. This will help you on other online forums as well and may be with your job as well (depending on which field you are in). Since it will take some time, you can try to get merits by posting infographic on unique topics here.

I do not know which 50 merits are you referring to. As per your current rank, you are a Jr Member and have 4 merits. You only need 6 more merits to reach to the next level. I checked your ratings and you have got no negative trust as well .

From the looks of it, no he didn't read it. What do you mean about: Merits and sMerits are used for respect only?
Correction: Merit can be compared to as a Respect, not a synonym of sort. And sMerit are used to gain Merit.

We appreciate your respect, but to be frank mate, you should first improve on your communication skills before we can provide you help.

Nope, you're wrong about that. It is very obvious that many politicians gain more power if they have more money. Let's say you are a candidate for being president, but you don't have the funds to support your campaign, therefore you're powerless.

He's right, take a look at this:

In fact, merit system and merit points don't break anyone's life if they don't join the forum only for getting money by spamming.
Spamming endemic to earn money in the forum is coming to the end.

Thanks Theymos for launching merit system.

[TMAN]

indeed the question about the rules of achievement made by the people responsible for this forum of course we can not do anything to reject it, although this gift rule can make it difficult for us to raise our rankings to move up to the next level, we should certainly keep abreast of and appreciate what has become the rule here.

Did you use google translate to make this post? I am interested as the language used seems strange to me, this cant be how someone is taught to speak English surely?

[mobilazy]

This is one of the advantages of the merit system. We won't have "legendary" members like you anymore.
