i have a problem i did not have sendalbe merits 

[Doell]

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?

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

I appreciate your friends words and strongly agree that share the most important merit is the best post that should get a merit even if it's a friend or don't know at all ,I have given some merit for those who are entitled to get merit with my personal judgment for a quality post

[diva.man]

People of high rank have their own circle of friends, and they get Merit by sending Merit to each other! This could be a Merit system problem!

It is very difficult for JR members to get Merit.

[Branko]

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!

I totally agree with you..as I was in exactly same position as you prior to merit introduction.
My proposal was to give initial merit proportionally to how close you're to next level (so for
example you and me would get about 240 instead 100) but I was bashed hard by people who,
suprise surprise, made account week or two before you and me and just ranked up got 250 merit

At this rate you and me are set back about 3 years

Well, you just trade with your merit into someone better to start posting a good one so many people will appreciate your work.

It is very difficult for JR members to get Merit.

Its difficult for everyone, its just so happen that those who are in a higher ranks make their name popular so they can easily get it but of course they deserve it also.
But if you look at some Sr/Hero account (like me), they still have no merit or lower merit because its really difficult to have it, its a matter of time and we can have want we deserve.

[scorpionso]

I found merit system fair but I don't have a hope for being a full member after all. nobody giving any merit. you should have contacts or knows somebody to earn. 

[TrumpD]

This is very possible. But I don't think there is a clear rule against that, even though it is not right. Merit is a new system introduced this year on the forum, so there would still be a lot of loopholes people can use to get around it; for example this. Also selling merits is has not been explicitly ruled out, but its frowned upon, and in the earlier days when merits were introduced this was happening, but has slowed down now. However, you have done a good job in spotting this, but there has to be proof. Once there is proof, the mods can now learn from this and tighten up ("regulate")the Merit system. I guess our own arses are being bitten up in here. Out there we are mad about crypto regulations, soon there would be merit regulations in here...

[Baoo]

Well, the scammers are everywhere and after the creation of the update ( Merit system) , I see that many users have become traders of merit point , Moreover, some of them have multiple accounts and they give to  themselves many points. But thanks to merit system, Many of them have been punished by neg trust , also it is good that  the rank up is not easy  and there must be a lot of effort to achieve that, contrary to before.

In addition to that, I think the appropriate solution for the traders of merit points is the simple click on report to moderator, and it's certain that after a while of time, those traders will be punished.

Yes you are right it can be definitely a good question merits system is find only for the development of good and valuable post but higher ranking persons will be use merit points for their friends circle only .

[tapayharum]

To me, it is their own right if they want to send anyone they want inside bitcointalk.org. As long as there is no evidence of selling or buying services, and of course, there are systems and processes that can review all the rewards that are sent if it is accountable for grant. it is difficult to get a reward because it is so limited.

[bachanhlac]

I have same question like you.Thank for many great answers.
 But i have more question. How can we get a merit?

[Semleho]

Sorry just want a little opinion for this issue.
Previously I apologize if my conversation is stale, please be advised, because I am a beginner or can be called also like a baby who has no sin.
With reason, because I want to know more and how about the policy of smerit points that have become the current cryptocurrency rule.

I want to ask.

Does Crypto's regulation of this crucial point come back like the origin of an unprecedented muala?

If only I could choose a good and straight path. I choose this smerit rule would be good if it is not there as it used to be. But if this can not be changed,
Whether you want it or not,
I have to accept with reality.
And until whenever I will never STOP to do this job

And I will always be patient for this process.

Hopefully this party provides policy for beginners.

thank you

This is the advantage for those people who already established their names on the forum on where earning merits would be easy as pie but theres no doubt towards into their post quality because its justifiable and not questionable.I have seen lots of them which they do really deserve a merit but we cant really avoid the fact that merit abuse would be there,sending back and fort could really give some presumptions,its possible but would really need a strong evidence towards those accounts.

[coinadon]

very interesting, I also hope someone can give merit to me. Because I think it's a hard job to get a better ranking than jr.member.

Can merit owners sell merit? I do not know for sure about this, hopefully, I get a little enlightenment by listening to the comments on your thread. thanks

[Shamie1002]

I think it is quite hard to accuse people exchanging and abusing merits.
My own judgement is based on:
>If they have given merits above 5
>Merits above 3 given to a useless post.
>Exchanging of merits of two accounts or three accounts connected.

For now these are my basis, Unless two accounts are proven to be alts, it is hard to accuse someone abusing the forum itself.

Selling and buying merits are not allowed. Though many are doing this today hidden, it is considered as abusing the new system and you can be tagged by the mods when proven. Also, begging for merits is another thing that irritates the mods so be careful when discussing about merits or they would ignore you for the rest of their lives. Just try to be more informative, not FUDs and try to make sure that your posts are not just duplicates.

Everyone is working here for earning money. But definitely there must be some standards that have to keep an eye over quality and sense of the post.

If everyone is just coming and posting something about bitcoins or altcoins or anything related to crypto that will be demerit the crypto world. So better is to mark according to the deserving right of the post, without having any sense of whether altcoins or bitcoins.

As they came here to make money but in a legit way bro. Merits system is not in the part of earning money, it make sense whenever you make posts in the right place and for your ranking up as well. Please check the threads you know and make the post on those thread if it is really needed.
Else you need to ignore the thread go with the different one.
Deserving posts will be needed in every thread but all does not following that here mate.

Yes everyone needs to look at the good quality posts and give them an appreciation by the merit points otherwise no one will getting higher rank the toppers only in toppers and the lower ranks people are always in low rank.

There was a recent ride upon altcoins meriting within their accounts. All these account were given negative trusts and they were taken out of campaigns. As you said, this is not far. What will people with a single account would get merit. Everything needs to be counted. Though we have mates assisting the members to rank up by giving merits to accounts, its one's responsibility to contribute and gain as many merits as were quire.

[Tenderino]

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!

I totally agree with you..as I was in exactly same position as you prior to merit introduction.
My proposal was to give initial merit proportionally to how close you're to next level (so for
example you and me would get about 240 instead 100) but I was bashed hard by people who,
suprise surprise, made account week or two before you and me and just ranked up got 250 merit

At this rate you and me are set back about 3 years

I have to admit I did not read how this merit system is working. But you have a point here that we were one step to Sr Member and getting 250 merits instead. Now we have the same position like someone who just reached Full Member.

I just see that you have the same Activity like me, even though you already received 16 merits. So how much merits do we need to rank up to Sr Member?
