Merit system is introduced to nullified low quality posts in the forum. but something is going exactly opposite to this.
I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but I'm going to have to completely disagree. The merit system is not meant to do anything to low-quality posts; the merit system is a form of positive reinforcement, because it rewards good behavior, it does not punish bad behavior. Therefore, the merit system is meant to reward quality posts. You say the opposite is happening, so you believe that the merit system is encouraging low-quality posts? I'm not sure how you can say this confidently, there is no evidence for this. I am seeing more rubbish posts, as everyone is trying to make more and more posts which shows the insecurity among them.
You're saying people are spamming more, as a result of the merit system. Do you have any statistics or information to support this theory or are you just talking out of your ass? I would hate to think you are speaking only off of an anecdote. Do merit system really make a difference in this forum?
Yes. I have seen many spammers run-off crying from the forum already and it has given me new ambition to actually come hangout again. The merit system makes it so ranking up is extremely limited, as it should be, especially when it comes with any sort of perks.

Overall now I have felt the benefits when the system is implemented. Now the spammers are getting less and also alt accounts have started thinking because they can not do it as before and this has started to decrease. The subject matter also has the value of good quality because everyone is motivated to give the best. We all think that when we can get a merit point then we will have the opportunity to be able to increase incredible and well qualified account we have. This will help us to get some income, this system makes the account that we have will be highly appreciated by others.

The merit System is a good one strategy for everyone who are making and creating posts and replies with a sense, compared to other that just making conversation on the local board (gat curious and open some local board), some just saying I'm from this country, some one will reply 'same here', 'hi', 'helooo', 'how are you!', 'how was your day?', that's the post and replies I saw! Then compare it to other boards wherein people struggle to make post then both of them gat activities after every update and rank up at the same Time??!!!!
What is this, why not create a chatting discussion outside the furom and they can just chat all day.

Yes merit purposes is too get rid of low quality posts in the forum, and it will happen in the future. And you can not judge the system now because it is just only 2 weeks from the update till now, we need time to make it fully functioning. I am seeing more rubbish posts, as everyone is trying to make more and more posts which shows the insecurity among them. As they all wants to show on the top of the discussion where they have a little opportunity of getting merit points. Do merit system really make a difference in this forum?
What you are seeing now is because merit system is forcing people to make posts. It is natural that people join popular thread to get merits. But later on if they only do low quality post, they will realize that it is hard to rank up and eventually they will leave the forum or they will step up their game, and we will only see normal to high quality posts later on the future, but not now. And to make it works, the system need all of the forum member (especially who can give merits) to give merits to people which is worthy of it, it is kinda like encouraging people to do good things, it is a simple things but means a lot to people. And FYI, there are some low rank members that is happy, agree, and confidence with the merit system even on your thread, and of course in my thread too, i even make infographic for it, feel free to check it at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2822349.0

as a "common people" what we can do is accept this system and try to addapt or we will be left behind , in my opinion this system requires us to think before we post something good , and yeah mostly do that to get Merit point , and I think that good to reducing low quality post

Stop critizising a system that did not even have time to create any effect whatsoever, let alone prove whether it actually works or not. Do merit system really make a difference in this forum?
It will make a difference. After a while, shitposters and whiners such as yourself will notice that they efforts are a waste of time and produce nothing. Therefore, they will gradually quit/stop and the place will become better. Definitely Yes jerry!
Wrong. Was reading one of Naitiks shitposts on another thread and realised he had the cheek to discuss the merit system while passing merit between his naitik account and his jerry29. Can’t believe you missed this ALT 😀

I think first, you should improve more your posts quality to gain some merit points, and they I think you can answer your question and know if the merit system really make the difference in this forum or not. I think a lot of members with lower ranks will stuck a long time to reach next rank, because they can't make any constructive posts because they are too poor in English.

The merit system launched to reduce or at least minimize number of rubbish posts (as you called). However, Theymos can not control spammers to make their posts. Of course, shitty, one-line threads will be deleted sometimes (hours or days) by the forum (by moderators, or bots - I am not sure about bots for automatically deleting shits). In contrast, merit system has performed efficiently to enhance the quality of the forum in general, including quality of each users' thread and of the forum (of course, it is only right with construtive, contributive users). The system has also been good in terms of help users to get more knowledge faster, get helps easier because lots of users tried helping others due to effects of merit system. So, let's think positive; let's change yourself; let's stop thinking about spammers. If they can not rank up with merit system, they will not our problems in the future, for sure.

Complainment about the nre merit system is full of this board, why not the administrator take a measure to solve this problem? there is no use of this merit system but cause people disappointed to this forum, scam post will forever last if the forum run, stopping user from rank up is not a good idea indeed

I really wonder why those people that dont like the system are still here while they can go away find another forum that suites to what they like or maybe make their own forum and do whatever they want? Gotcha! Its all because of the sig campaign... then why hell are you complaining about the system if you are going to get profit from it. Gotcha! because you are a lazy dumbass who wants to just shitpost and gain profit from your trash!
Move on kid.

It's not, it makes no sense. They can post 100 posts per day without any of them being constructive or without quality whatsoever, and with all those posts they won't be able to rank up.
Give the new system some time, it will all clear up. Tho spamming is obsolete now, the only thing I see going on will be the account selling prices going up.
That's right, sooner or later those shit posters will eventually give up on making their way up to the rankings and will be forced to join social media campaigns as they will realized that they will not be happy on what they will earn on signature campaigns with their current ranks. The time since the new system has been implemented is not yet enough to eradicate all those members but we can see that it made a change significantly.

You are missing a point! They won't give up because they don't really have to rank up to higher levels to earn money from the forum with current rules. Why is that? If you have experienced enough in the forum, you would realize that signature payments for Member rank usually double of for Junior member rank. Yeah, that's the point, shit-posters don't have to try to rank up, they have another option, which seems to be better, more comfortable for them. 2 Junior member accounts instead of 1 Member account. That's enough. Keep posting shits and get money, instead of putting lots of real efforts to rank up and get the same amount of payments. That's right, sooner or later those shit posters will eventually give up on making their way up to the rankings and will be forced to join social media campaigns as they will realized that they will not be happy on what they will earn on signature campaigns with their current ranks.
Merit system will keep shit-posters stucked at their current ranks. In the future, when more and more campaigns require minimum number of merits to join, shit-posters will be eliminated somehow. When they can not join any campaign in the forum, they might leave and find others better places. The time since the new system has been implemented is not yet enough to eradicate all those members but we can see that it made a change significantly.

I think it is right time to lock the topic, which seems to be perfect place for spammers to get here and join discussions to increase their post-counts and ask for merits. Simple and basic principle: Garbage in, garbage out! No need to discuss more. Rubbish was produced by shit-posters (most of the time, equals to spammers). Merit system has not produced shits, spammers have did produced shits.

I think merit system is good but it cannot be implemented well here. Also i have seen people not so keen in giving merit to others and mostly merits are used for account farmers to help their accounts grow.

Why? Would you mind explaining more about the idea. I think merit system is good but it cannot be implemented well here.
In contrast, I have seen lots of meriters who has sent their sMerits away to so many deserved threads which published by different users in the forum. Of course, there are merit farmers, but they will be punished with really strict punishments like this one: More mass merit farmingAlso i have seen people not so keen in giving merit to others and mostly merits are used for account farmers to help their accounts grow.

It's not almost, it's totally impossible to rank up if you're just a shitposter and don't help anyone in this forum. Merit created to prevent this kind of member and only shitposter are leaving this forum just because of Merit system. If you feel there are no chance for you to rank up, you can cheat the merit system if you want to, but I think you know the consequences of it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
