Should merit system be kept?

[ranochigo]

Let's zero out the ranks, and see how the people on top again reach the legend.

Let's remove the signature campaigns and bounties. I'll be interested in seeing how the quality of post would be.

IMHO merit system did not make forum better. We should have some system to prevent shitposters from make their work. Better to have anti-merit system. When you could give negative mark to a shit or useless posts. All know that more than half of all posts here is made for signature campaign. And a lot of this posts is useless for all.

A simple scenario: Oh no, I don't agree with his point of view, DEMERIT HAMMER! / Oh no! I don't like him! DEMERIT HAMMER!

It's not easy for the community to function this way. It's a lot easier to find some of the more constructive posts than all of the shitposts. Either you get loads more whining or leave the mods with a huge mess to deal with.

I do not like this system, I do not see the point of it. Who has a lot of merit and good grades consider themselves almost gods, few will crawl to them now. I fundamentally do not want to give anyone a measure now, I'm afraid, as a friend told me how he gave a measure to a person for the post he liked, he thanked all his posts in gratitude and also gave for what he liked, so both of them were painted in a red trust and called "multi" . On how many in the course, the disassembly does not give any results and to prove at this forum its validity in general is unrealistic. I found out that the forum has its own "mafia", which is called chezhoschikami, which everyone can accuse of anything, as someone can give them a measure for such work. It would be better if the forum made a normal appeal service and clear rules that you can write on the forum, do and what not.

"NO" voting will win. The reason is simple: very few people, who are really interested in crypto-currencies on the forum.

Shitposters and account farmers ganging up to vote No. What a joke this place has become.

People interested in and interested in cryptocurrencies don't necessarily have an opinion that coincides with Yours) Many of them do not have literary talent, but this should not make their people second-class citizens.

So the no votes should be divided by 10 (guestimate at average farmer accounts) looking at that it's a surprising yes. Keep merit

I'm not sure whether you've noticed, but even OP is an account farmer: https://archive.fo/zbTtG. I just found this myself.

Please check the date for that post. That time i even didn't knew the forum rules and even i made a another post recently about it and also i will never ever try it again. Also you can check my posts after that. I don't even look at the threads encouraging spam now. I just find various ICO projects intresting now and always try to go there. The post there can't be deleted so it is untill now but i have reported it to the moderator a way back. I always try to improve my mistake. Hope the forum and you too would like to give me a chance to prove my self.
Thanks.

The system Merit only harms the forum and stimulates competitors to create an alternative. I think you need to reward truly useful and quality posts, possible early grades, and not to freeze grade 90%, as happened in fact with the introduction of merit points.

What are you talking about? Are you mad? Merit system help the forum, makes it better day by day. Since it's launch, the system has performed well and demonstrated it's impacts on bitcointalk users, both lower- and higher-qualitied users to be more constructive.
Spammers seems to reduce posting spamming threads and might give up when they realize that they got nothing from spamming the forum. Account farmers feel hard to survive and keep their farm running. It is much more difficult for them to earn money from the forum.

It's really unfortunate that we can't even hold an honest poll at this point. It was something like 20 votes Yes and 1 vote No last time I checked. Now all of the sudden it is overwhelmingly No, which tells me that the merit system has abusers on their heels. If the merit system is making a lot of people upset, well good, that was an expected outcome of this.

It's not like a poll of "public" opinion is going to matter, when it is the public we are attempting to adjust and improve; also, it matters less when the "public" could just be 3-people in total. The poll is irrelevant, and especially unfortunate when we can't even do that honestly.

IMHO, People interested in and interested in cryptocurrencies, in general, ranks are not are important). To write a good post, it is enough to have the necessary information, and to understand it. Just need diligence.

So I propose to encourage people not to freeze the rank of the bulk. It turns out because of spammers and suffer normal people, merity can earn very, very few)

This is not true. Spammers buy accounts with a high rank and continue on, and suffer all the others. With the introduction of the merit points the situation has not improved and everybody understands it.

Lol, you said that simply because you can not contribute to the forum with high-qualitied posts; hence can not earn merit points. That's all. Keep spamming, complaining, crying about merit system; no one will pay attention to such a thread and never give it merits. Accept both the merit system and the fact. Good luck.

Stop spamming this thread with lies. Go away.

You just don't perceive the opinions of others that differ from yours and immediately call them spammers, it makes no sense to continue the discussion.

you write a good informative post, but no one says" thank you", especially not merit. High ranks put merit each other, they are not motivated to do it for others. See the comments in this topic. All high ranks agree with the system merit. But a year later this forum will not have many high ranks.
It's simple.The system of merit is protection against competitors in Signature companies

p.s. Do not be surprised if after this post I will put red trust

Russian spammers are quite annoying. I'm waiting for someone to top the *~200 office employees* Russian spammer. Go whine somewhere else.

You are posting in the Russian section. You are a spammer. The same applies for multiple users in this thread. Data =/= attacking nationality. Go away already.
