here is link:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources


Hence,It is not feasible for 80 people(merit sources) to review such(8571) no. post on a daily basis,
So, this is my humble request to the moderator/administrator of the forum that there is need to increase the no. Of merit sources.

of the 8000 posts 90% of them will be shit, so I think its fine as it is fella.

[Talk merit]

I agree with TMAN - don't increase the merits, but reduce the number of posts. After all, this is why the merit system was introduced.

I am also agree with your opinion,but how can we decide without seeing them.Atleast we have enough resource ,so we can atleast review all of them properly.After that we can decide ,it is good post or not.

80 sources/8000 posts = 100 posts a day.. give it a chance to work before suggesting any changes as a thinly veiled way of asking for merits

[bitmover]

I agree with TMAN. As most of the posts are shitposts, some merit sources can do the job.

But I think in local sessions we still have a problem.

I was taking a look at zentdex's Where the Merit Pours? and found this image

There are clearly local board with lack of sources. My local board for example, Portuguese, has zero merit sources. Turkish, Russian and Indonesian has plenty merit sources, much more than the other boards.

I will try to make some better analysis of my local board merit with the merit.txt data in future.

[coinlocket$]

I don't know if we need more merit sources depends how numbers will go this month (on March we got -30% sMerit from start to end) but for sure we need a better distrubition, some source use merit only on one topic or few topics.

I have only received 50 sMerits to distribute from the day one as a merit source. fella now so far I have received 2 sMerits in April. not all sources get equal amounts of sMerit. some humble members like BTCforJoe distributed more than me. merit source is just a name, I'm not really helping. I don't know if I have misused my source merits for not getting more or I'm just not trusted. I don't merit my friends like other sources.

I don't know how much merits as a source you should get but are you sure that you are a merit source?

Sorry maybe this is a stupid question but from what I see you don't know too much about merit sources so how could you be one of them?

I think there should be invitation via PM or something with an explanation when you are chosen as merit source and you seem to have no idea about this.

[TheUltraElite]

LOL, Merit sources get their sMerits refilled every month so that they can distribute them for that month.

A stupid question indeed. In fact you need to learn more about the merit system first. The Merit sources are in the forum among us and those who are merit sources were, when selected during initial implementation were informed by theymos. Others who apply as merit sources wait for their applications to be responded to by theymos. While digaran themselves publicly said about being a merit source, you can cross check this by looking at the merit stats here:

Are you sure that you are not farming accounts or an alt of somebody else? because you seem sure that I'm not sure if I'm a merit source or not. why should we care what you think about the merit source selection process? have I benefited by being a source other than making don and his birdies as my enemies? should I be the one to blame if you are the one who is not sure what he is talking about?

From what you see, what is it that you can see in my post above indicating of my ignorance about merit sources? you didn't check my merit stats to see that I have sent out more than my initial 86 sMerits and my own 36 sMerits. you just wanted to say that I'm stupid and don't know what I'm talking about.

very good discussion.
I also strongly agree with your opinion. but to solve this problem, we must study deeply so as not to blame and mislead others.
and together looking for a solution

No Digaran, I don't want to say that you are stupid or insult you in any other way. I just asked if you are sure because I thought that each merit source should be informed about everything that is needed to work as merit source and about merit system.  

This is:
-how much merits you get,
-how to award members,
-etc.  

You were not sure why you get not as many merits as other sources that let me think that maybe you are a random member who thinks that he is a merit source and in reality, he gets few merits together with his high rank when merit system was introduced.

That is why I asked my question and from what user TheUltraElite says every merit source was fully informed.

... The Merit sources are in the forum among us and those who are merit sources were, when selected during initial implementation were informed by theymos. Others who apply as merit sources wait for their applications to be responded to by theymos. While digaran themselves publicly said about being a merit source, you can cross check this by looking at the merit stats here:

Once again never wanted to insult anybody and I never said that you are stupid Digaran.

Peace.

I sometimes spend hours trying to find posts to leave merit.  Trying to find intelligent, helpful posts around here isn't the easiest thing to do.  I don't think lack of merit is the issue, at least for me.

[OgNasty]

Like me, I still am not a quality poster but I'll just keep on posting until someone can finally realize that I've been trying my best here.

I just glanced over your recent posts to see if I could leave you merit for something.  Here's what stuck out to me. 

Then what do you think of it faggot?

Well this is only possible for IDIOTS.

[Theb]

Let us not adjust on the basis of new members registering on the forum, for all we know some if not most of those accounts are alt accounts of some users. If we increase Merit Sources in order to give more sMerits to the new users I don't think it will be a good idea as the quality of post would be lower because the chances of as having merits is bigger once we increase the number of Merit Sources.

Also the process of being a Merit Source is a tough one we cannot rush the process as the admins need to see the applications one by one, they need to see that the member is worthy of becoming one of the forum's merit sources. Members need to be screened and we cannot give the power of regenerating merits into the wrong hands.

One possibility is that you have been using up your initial sMerits which also (unfortunately) count against your source merit. If you were actually caught misusing your source merits, I don't think the punishment would be a reduction in source merits.

Also, I just realized that spending your own sMerit also counts against your source for the following 30 days. That's a bug, but I'm probably going to have to completely rewrite the sMerit-calculation algorithm to fix it...

If I am not wrong you will get the charge back after 1 month, not on the same day but when you spent it. For example if you spend 5 smerit on 05/04/2018 and 10 on 15/04/2018 you will get 15 sMerit but not on 1st May 2018, you will get 5 on 05/05/2018 and 10 on 15/05/2018

There is no need to review every single post. When I see something like this:


Edited 2020-11-29 to fix a broken image

I can skip the other 8 posts while being quite certain that I didn't miss much.

And theymos is adding new sources so your thread is quite redundant.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Let's not forget that the 18000 merit is actually 36000 merit once you factor in complete distribution and sMerit generation.
