Is new merit system really success ?

[Smpdytz1]

In bitcointalk forum there are really good posts even that does not earn atleast single point of merits.and there are many spam and off topic posts that earn bunch of merits.

And even some forum users does not give merits for quality posts and they share merits with only there friends for some shit posts

Some forum users who tried to make quality posts are now demotivate with this situation

You do not need to open a new thread on this topic, just browse for a while the Meta section and you will find the answer.
Many complaining and some are happy with it, but the most important thing is that it's doing what it's intended to do, blocking the shitposters to go up and eventually discourage them and make them quit.

It's too early to decide whether or not the merit system works.
Remember that the thread you post in won't die right after you post in it. You might get a merit a week after you've made the post if it's any good.

I see lots of people complaining about not getting merits from something they posted 20 minutes ago which doesn't make too much sense.

Why does merit matter to you? If you came to this forum to learn about Bitcoin, participate in discussions and just get involved, then it really shouldn't make any difference to you.

Give it time, quality post will earn merits in the long run if it is deserving. It is a fact that merit is a limited resource and for this reason some users give it only to those they seem worthy of it and helped them. Those off topic posts that earns merits via merit abusing will be given red trust by default trust members anyway sooner or later, so don't be jealous of them. Rather, if your post contributes to the community, then just continue what you are doing. Those who do good post mostly are not demotivated in the situation at all, in fact some are challenged by it.

The system is far from perfect but at least it stops those who are only here to earn by trying to rank up in the laziest way possible. If you put the effort in then over time you should earn the merit. If people are just going to give up and get 'demotivated' after only a month of the system being implemented then they won't be missed.

this merit system does have weakness , that is good post but none appreciate.
it would be nice in this forum to have a team or something with the task of seeing good post and suggesting other members read it and give it an award.
maybe it could give its own comfort for the members here.

[El Il-mythos]

You know just trust the new system implemented by the administrator,whenever there is a new implementation both sides are affected but the good ones always understand the situation.
I believe this was imposed just to teach everyone specially the new comers to become aware and avoid themselves to create shitposts. Just choose to have a good feeling if you are making a good post for  you are part of the solution and not on the side of problem makers. It is to early to say anything that is let us calm down and wait for the next changes.

your account has ranked that is safe if you agree if your account is still a newbie

Yes, rank is meaningless to me. If you check the date I registered you'll work out that I would easily be Legendary in rank by now if I had been interested to do so. You can also see that my posts have been awarded 103 merit points in the 26 days since the merit system was introduced. That means the system wouldn't have made any difference to my rank if it had always been there anyway, as that's a lot quicker than activity could be gained.

The only reason to care about rank is if you are here primarily to earn money for posting. I'm getting paid for my signature right now but I see that as a bonus, not a reason to be here.

[Throwing Daggers]

While reading some informations about merit system, it is the best thing that theymos do for our forum. The purpose of it is not only for dissolving some shitposts and nonsense topics in our forum. Theymos really wants newbies/jr. members/members to be more powerful for having more information in just a rank of this. Growing up that is trained in this kind of method, posting some quality and informative post which really helps our forum.

Regarding about sharing merits with friends, time will come when their sMerits become zero they are not eligible now for giving merits unless they receive merits too when they post something good.

[yudiana]

I agree with this system for various reasons
improving post quality, rewarding good post, avoiding bad posts, becoming more grown up with new systems

the quality of posts will be more appreciated by the merit to think daan get involved in this forum not just looking for profit ..

[mohammadzayadi]

Merit system is enforced with the aim of reducing spammers, but this makes newbie always ask about this merit system. In addition, many new topics are created just to get merit, this causes spam to occur anywhere. I think this merit system has not worked.

too fast to judge about the merit system that much in question now.
because it is still being discussed by many parties related to the negative and positive of merit system.

[pecandubtc]

I see a lot that the merit gives her a friend of herself instead of someone else

How do you know that? It is quite interesting that you said something like this.
Even if what you said is true, i guess it is fine as long as they have a decent post to be merited.

if you say it is true, you are wrong .. because in meringgnya munculkannya to avoid spam .. if that way then the spam will not stop

[Creating N Action]

Of course, they will not do that system if it will not be a success. The merit system is not just for newbie, it is also for somebody who are in the field of bitcointalk especially for still spamming. These system administrators are very strict because they are lagging behind the shit posters and those who breakdown against the merit system. We are all capable of spreading merit but do not abuse this system and do punishment for violating its rules.

[markdario112616]

To be honest, As I see it the merit system is still work in progress, a dry-run in which the mods or the admins are trying to enhance not only the forum but also the people in this community. This merit system like as said by some has its flaw/s especially in giving merits, Well not all can appreciate a good post/s (it's given). But the idea of the system is relatively great since it helps not only to prevent others to spam the forum but also to enhance or the maximize the potential of each and everyone here in the community in terms of understanding the industry and doing constructive posts.

Let's just see this system as a tool and not as a punishment. It will benefit us in the long run, especially in using the English language.
