I don't like negging people personally because I feel it gives a far stronger impression that I'd typically like it to be, unless its actually someone who is attempting to scam money.
I would sooo love to neg those guys, because I agree with you. However, I heard Theymos's post loud and clear about tagging merit abusers and it's driving me nuts. I solicited advice about this and got the message that these idiots shouldn't be tagged.
I hope that over time, with more cases found, more strict punishments implemented; we will see less merit abusements in the forum. It might be good for the forum, generally.
Just stop it. This is a great example of a shitposter trying to write what he thinks merit-givers want to hear. I don't think you're being honest about what you think, though I obviously can't prove that. Merit is going to be nothing but a hindrance to you, unless you buy it or trade it with friends. We'll see in a year, if you're still around, whether you think the merit system is rah-rah, and how much you've abused it.
Other examples of saying what you think people want to hear, picked out of threads on the 1st page of Meta:
I think this new merit system provides a new, innovating, and exciting way for us to openly discuss how aweful the merit system is.
as a "common people" what we can do is accept this system and try to addapt or we will be left behind , in my opinion this system requires us to think before we post something good , and yeah mostly do that to get Merit point , and I think that good to reducing low quality post
We have observe some nonsense post in the forum but people are getting banned for some meaningful post as well which is making people loose intrest in making comment here..anyways more app are coming up to avert this .. thanks
You need to post with the high quality.they now that merit its hard to get so may you have to realize it.
I reached a conclusion about Merit. Merit is a topic that will automatically come when you will be able to get it.
And I go to the profits of those who are getting Merit, and I see why and how they earned their Merit.
The feelings will be great if you even get one merit. but the rule still holds, make post that are worth merited. learn from others and think of merit later. merit is not gotten on a silver platter. so stop talking about merits because that will earn you non.
Thanks. Now I'm posting some good quality post. Don't talk for merit, talk for a good quality post. In posting feel freely so that your post will be constructive as well. Just go on with the topic and not to become a spammer in somehow.
we all know thats its hard to rank up with this new merit system but, thats what keeps me trying to rank up the challenge , thats what keeps us defying our selves by improving after every post we publish.
There is no shortcut to get merit have being working all days some of my post are not counting so i have to be patience for them to count my post...
If my answers will help someone , if they understand my answers and my ideas , if I can fill there needs which they asked in the forum, then I can get merit points.
Post good quality posted, explore other sections in forum, make post useful and helpful to other people's and wait merit will come.
Do not do spam posting, negative etc. Just share something in your mind also can get merit. Try to do good posting not by merit, merit automatically come to you.
I don't think if full members still find it difficult to find merit. Right now, I've changed my mindset not to pursue merit but keep trying to improve the quality of posts. if our post is good will someday be there will give us merit.
...and on and on. These are all crap posts as well, poorly-written and with very little thought put into them. These posts have no reason to exist, and of course they're not going to earn merits. You guys who post things like this ought to take your ball and just go home.
