Wanting Merit in your quality post is treated as a CRIME ??

[cho99]

You don't need merit points anyway in this forum . If you are a newbie, a Jr member or even a member in this case I only advice you to forget about getting merit to rank up , if you search for payment from signature campaigns just forget about it , if you're here to get some extra cash just look closer into the forum , there are opportunities , subjects that they may help you to get money , mining , dealing with altcoins , airdrops and ICO , a lot of opportunities that can be a source of increasing your portfolio , I don't think the 100 $ that you can get from signature campaigns monthly should be a big deal for you , you must see how to get real money not this shity tips that you can get .

Yes I think too. But to be the merit source we have to be after member ?

You are very unlikely to ever become a merit source. I mean this without insult, because almost nobody will ever become a merit source. This is reserved for a very select few members that have proven themselves worthy of the responsibility to create our most valuable resource against spam out of thin air. These people have the fate of the forum in their hand and it will be determined by something much more significant than "being past member".

You will not be treated like a "criminal" for adding a comment "Merit this if it was helpful", but I will tell you that merit is on the forefront of everyone's mind, unless they are unaware that is has been implemented. Everyone is excited to use their merit, almost nobody has simply forgotten that it exists. I would be willing to bet that adding a comment like this to the bottom of a post would most likely have the opposite effect, though; you will receive less merit for saying this.

It is treated as a crime to buy/sell merit, but it is treated as strange to mention it at the end of your posts. My suggestion, Don't do it, you will be a cringe machine. It is a standalone system and doesn't need to be coaxed out of people.

It's just a small pet-peeve of mine, but the formatting of this post has been giving me chills, you should keep it simple, it doesn't need so many colors and strange happenings.

What is crime? sources are not allowed to sell their sMerits, I think sources should sell merits but not to the shitposters, anybody who has quality post and wants to rank up, should pay to rank up to the forum.

These people have the fate of the forum in their hand and it will be determined by something much more significant than "being past member".

You should cry for a community where the fate of it's forum is in the hands of somebody like me. (fate of a single beggar who needs to rank up from a jr into a member in 2 years).

because almost nobody will ever become a merit source

Not everybody is willing to be a source, but you could if you are at least a hero member.

This is reserved for a very select few members that have proven themselves worthy of the responsibility to create our most valuable resource against spam out of thin air.

This is going to be a self moderating forum, if you could only rank up by getting merits from those few, you don't need any moderators, they must stay neutral, I believe that we should merit any reasonable and understandable post.

Thank you guys , i got my answer , I was just to conscious about the Merit factor. And wanting merit in deserved post is crime or not. It seems it is not crime. But certainly i will not run after merit . I will just deliver good post as per my ability. That's all.

You (and everyone else) should do that.  Wanting merit is not a CRIME, obviously.  But if you ask for merit, you may get negative trust from DT.   

"DT" stands for Dumb Trolls, right? Because only dumb trolls would abuse the trust system and use it as a weapon to penalize for something merit related.

People will give negative trust for any reason in the world, least of which relating to a failed transaction. Merit will absolutely turn into the same thing.

I don't think asking for merit in a post is a crime, people that are offended won't leave merit. Why do people keep trying to complicate things with so many implied rules?

It's redundant. If your post is meritable people will reward you as such without you having to ask. I don't really think asking for a post to be merited deserves negative feedback, but I mentioned elsewhere that I think the admin's should come up with some rules/guidelines on this behaviour because I don't think it should be allowed. Doing this is essentially begging and in my opinion should be treated the same as begging for bitcoin and the posts either edited to remove the offending part or the post/thread just deleted entirely. Hopefully theymos will share his stance on it as I'm sure he doesn't agree with people leaving negative for it as this behaviour is why the activity system was introduced in the first place.
