Merit Cycling

[Hamphser]

So I was interested in how to obtain merit and so I looked at a few profiles of members with a large amount of merits (250+) and saw that a few seemed to be sending merits backwards and forwards to each other repeatedly. I’m assuming they were either to friends or his alts but surely this is against BCT rules and should be cracked down upon?

I think to obtain merit, having a lot of friend here who trusted you so much was an advantage for sure. Then, if you are a newbie and don't have any friend here in the forum I think it would hard for you to gain merit. Because, in my opinion smerit is depending on your discretion or decision on which topic or to whom who gonna give a smerit whether it is constructive or not.

If you do have a friend then its quiet an edge but its not really necessary because you can earn merits if you are really good on what you are posting.The entire community would able to recognize it.You shouldnt focus or confident that if you do have friend considering how many merits required for you to rank up and they cant pass up bulks of merits which would result into a violation.

I'm just a newbie, I've tried to learn more about the rules, and some other information relevant to how we could be a full member of this forum... Merit is just one factor to be full member... I hope sooner there will be someone to give it to me...

can someone answer me this? how we could get a merit, is it in a post/reply to someone OR should I make my own thread to get a merit?

Yes, unfortunately I've noticed that too. It's a pity that there are signature campaigns, at which payments may depend on merits and such people with low quality posts, but high merit work there. I hope forum moderators will deal with it.

The circulation of merits is very important, people will be able to send merits only if they receive merits, therefore, the merit circulation is very important. But there would be a time when all the members will run out of merits as a person receives one merit when the 2nd person sends the 1st person 2 merits which means the sMerits keeps getting halved. So maybe at such a time, it will be just the admins and the moderators that will be left with an unlimited source of sMerits.

I am a single poster and it was clear that I can not compete with merit exchanging groups or friends. And there will be probably also some kind of market for purchasing merits.

When the merit system was introduced, I was one stage prior to reaching Sr Member that requires an activity of 240. Now my activity is 280 and I am still Full Member and probably will forever.

I have seen a lot of shit and and spam posts on this forum without any consequences and as a honest single poster you have now to pay the price for not connected to inside teams!

Do you really believe that all merits are always sent on a fair and neutral basis?

If not, do you think it is fair that others who have started or joined activities to get merits earn more in signature campaigns than single posters with a probably better quality?

[pedagang2]

I think your assumption is very good. should this topic let me directly discussed the same BTT admin. LOL

that number will greatly reduce soon since DT2 members are serious on this issue, i notice a lot of accounts getting red tagged in the past few days. Don't worry this forum will be cleaned out as the time goes by, only serious users and interested person on cryptocurrency will stay on this forum.

It is better to focus on getting the higher ranks in the beginning as this is more important thing and that you need it the most even than that of getting merits. Right now, you need to burn your midnight oil and that you need to keep on learning as many things as you can and that you need to gain enough knowledge which can then help you out in having some basic knowledge about the things. With time, you will manage to get merits as well yourself.

There will be always cliques on anonymous forums like bitcointalk.

But you are right, they have already started to clean up what you can see when visiting Reputation.

Curiously, even though the worst posters are already cleaned and the normal posters should have a better chance now, the number of available signature campaigns is unlike lower like it was before.

You have 0 sendable merit why  now 3 week past but same massage ?

Welcome to the club!  

I had seven sendable merits and thats it. As far as I understood everyone has a certain number of merits to send, depending on the account level. Higher ranked accounts have an unlike higher number of available merits. Unfortunately, newbies are disadvantaged.

I think I need two more merits to rank up. Come on!

Our journey to this merit system is just like the endless horizon to the sea. You need to explore and explain well all the land we may encounter, but most of the bitcointalk user don't care enough what is that f*ck*ng thing you want to say. Oh you also encounter this in the sea shore , kind of crab, crab mentality. lol . Good luck folks, hoping that you find an island that full of understanding and new wonders.

Unfortunately, the introduction or addition of something has to start from somewhere. The merit introduction to the forum couldn't have waited for everybody because you have members rank being updated every 2 weeks depending on when registration was done. So if you had crossed or myself, it would have caught other users.

The best thing we have to do is to put more effort.

Oh, and I think your account is caught too , proofing of your red mark flags.More effort, yes you're right but also you need to avoid some fishy kind of moves or transaction to avoid wasting you've started. Sad life folks specially this merit era.

That's actually the goal ofmour moderators that at least lessen the spammers and those serious serious will remain as this isn't a big joke. Likewise, it's really hard to earn a merit especially we're hundreds of members here and we're lucky enough is someone will appreciate or at least read pur post however this shouldn't be the hindrance to not make quality posts. With or without merit we should make this forum well informative to all of us.

You can see most spammers in alternative coins section, just to promote different kind of tokens, newly created. Most common thing is creating a newbie account and post same content then spam. I report all the account doing that kind of shitty works.

[kisscoin]

If one the user gives merit different for any his a useful post or comment, what poorly in is, that the other in the answer will pose him +merit?! Of course there may be an agreement, but why not... I don't see anything illegal about it. Purchase - Yes, forbidden, but I as a newbie would not prevent this legitimate function

Trading and sharing your merit to your friend with a very good post is not prohibited as long as the post that that you have merited deserves, meanwhile as you stated that there are illegal thins which was try to be done in incognito but don't worry if somebody will get busted they just have two awards to receive it's either red tag or being ban. So if ever you caught one don't hesitate to post in the reputation section with a valid proof and is 100% accurate. Your reward will not be in vain as long as you do the right thing mate

what you say is true, sometimes people always exchange rewards (reward each other), but in their posts are not very qualified, for the sake of their promotion to give each other. but in all of this we can not accuse each other because it is very difficult to prove this.
