Yes, I agree. It's like finding good ICO to invest. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I've found one just a couple of hour ago, it's a very interesting post, very helpful and I think worthy of receiving merits. I'd like to merit it but I have 0 sendable merits. Here's the post, Where the Merit Pours?

Hello everyone,
Average registrations per day: 466.93 Average posts per day: 8571.87 Average topics per day: 345.21 Link to source:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats
There are only 80 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 17800 sMerit per 30 day, 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.
No one said that there must be reviewed single post. 80 source is more than enough. Now look that statistics in reality: From 467 average registration, 465 is potential spammer/unusable for forum. From 8572 post, 8300 is spam. And from 345 topic, 320 is spam too. Just look titles of threads, you'll believe my words.

This can be true, maybe than the number of sources is not the problem even if some areas of forum are very low "merited". What do you think than to set the min sMerit sendable up to 2 from 1? (for abuser noting will change, it will help the avarege poster.

If someone find a post worth more than 1 merit, then they can send more. 1 is more neutral than 2, because there are many posts that deserve 1 merit but not 2 merits in my opinion.

I sometimes spend hours trying to find posts to leave merit....
snip ..A lot of my merits have been spent on Members and lower ranks.... For the record, I also merit posts that I feel took a lot of time and effort to create, even if I don’t agree with what is being said... This is true, you and a couple of other members, award and search for posts. It is simply not enough for 2 million members forum. Majority of posts are not rewarded and that's why people complain. I think merit system should be introduced differently. You have to write quality content, do your best for the forum, to earn merits and rank up but there is no guarantee that you will be finally rewarded. In the future, more merits sources will be available, members learn how to use merit system and the situation should improve. I don't think every member understands this system properly. They think that every well-written post should earn them merits and after few attempts without an award, they open merit topic because something feels not right to them. With time situation should improve and more posts would be merited. You can try to help your luck and post in different forum sections, in the best time, on the first topic page, add a funny photo, etc. This can help in getting merit but it still depends on luck. Sometimes the revolution hurts its own children and that's why, we simple users of this forum, have to pay such a high price for getting rid of spam and abusers.

I agree with this especially in the "Bitcoin Discussion" almost all new threads are the same spam topics like "is bitcoin dead?" or "will bitcoin survive?" something like that. I am pretty sure this is one of the reasons they are cleaning or removing those shit and spam posts in every section of this forum. Regarding about the OP's request, I don't think it will do any better if you add more number of merit sources. Even though it might look like it is hard for them to look for quality post and give merit to them what I think is hard for them is that they can only see just really few quality posts that deserves merits and we cannot blame them for that reason. These merit sources have undergone application and got accepted because of their capability of finding quality posts based on their own standards and besides they are not the only ones who can send smerits to other members but also us ordinary members.

I wonder if it would not be a good idea if everyone, depending on their rank, would receive several merits per month to give away. This would certainly increase the amount of merit distributed and everyone would feel fairer. For sure it would be good for new users who can't reward posts they like because they don't have merits. I think that these are lost merits and only wasted time because someone will have to dig up these posts again one time and evaluate them to award them with merits. Which could be already done if a newbie has few merits to give each month.

The problem is not with merit sources, or with members holding sMerit to award. The problem is still the time it takes to wade through the rubbish repeated threads, and the unintelligible posts.How many of the people who are whingeing about no merits are on ignore with many of the merit awarders? I think the current system is pretty good and efficient, and posters should understand that the merit system was created to encourage members to create good posts.

For being a newbie some of the source dont believe in our sudgestion or informations that we've share. Merit is the basis to get into a higher rank. So i just reading some information in this forum to practice and i want to share it for the people in need and also awarded me a merit.

I can hand a free tip to anyone wanting merit and thats to use chrome browser for this forum and select English as the primary language and allow it use a dictionary on all your posts. Every time you post, click preview and it will highlight all the words that got mistakenly misspelt.
I dont think a grammar check is as easy to do but just correcting the basic mistakes is a good start. I cant really merit anything that isnt laid out properly or edited out mistakes. I mean if your post is pure gold then sure it can be over looked some and my writing is definitely not perfect but usually poorly written equates to worthless content unfortunately, its quite simple. People wont read it nevermind give merit.
Its good news that local boards will have merit sources, so long as its not exploited or has some oversight.

Excuse me Sir, English is like my 3rd language but how can you discuss about grammar errors when you use "dont" and "cant" "its"? (If i'm not wrong dont has no meaning and "cant" "its" can be used but have a different meaning without the apostrophe) Anyway, can we find anywhere if some of the sources are inactive? The projecton for this month is way lower than the sMerit sources cap (keep in mind, they maybe use all the rest of sMerit in this last week!)

I will quite happily overlook some minor spelling and grammar mistakes if your post is worthwhile and I can read it at a normal speed and understand it first time. If, however, I have had to read the first line 4 times and still have no idea what you are trying to say, I'm not wasting any more of my time and you are probably going on ignore.

I wonder if it would not be a good idea if everyone, depending on their rank, would receive several merits per month to give away. Receiving merits like that would mean those people wouuld rank up as well if we follow the same mechanics that sMerit for non-merit source members was given on creation. This would certainly increase the amount of merit distributed and everyone would feel fairer. It will technically make the system null and void because then merit awarding wold have lesser role. For sure it would be good for new users who can't reward posts they like because they don't have merits. The newbies are supposed to learn more and not act immediately. I think that these are lost merits and only wasted time because someone will have to dig up these posts again one time and evaluate them to award them with merits. Which could be already done if a newbie has few merits to give each month. Most people here dont think such. Except shitposter "Great project Sir" gang.

merit seems also an interesting topic to be discussed, well I do not know clearly about this merit but now I think it will be good also for me to know more about this merit. I've ever read there are some merit source, if see the data then the source will be nice to be increased for making sure the whole posts are reviewed and evaluated.

In 8000 post a day I think only 10% of this are meritorous and the rest are shit post. Let's take this one as the percentage of the 8000 posters. Newbie — 35% Jr. Member — 25% Member. — 20% Sr. Member — 10% Hero. —5% Legendary — 5% Newbie has 35% it's because they're more likely making questions in order to know more on this forum. And for the Boards this is What I guess for the counts of post per day in percent. Bitcoin Discussion —20% Economy —20% Other. —15% Alt Coins —30% Local —15% Why Alt Coins has the biggest percentage because there many bounty hunters and this results for a shit post. I just generalized the boards. 80 Merit Source can handle it because not all post are good enough to be merited. Posts are commonly on Alt Coins because even a newbies are participating it. 10% meritorous post and 60% shit post and 20% for spamming.

I dont know if Merit sources should be increased, but certainly better distributed. For example, in our local section (Portuguese) many users are already without or with few merits and I think in near future we will be stagnant. Some local members applied to become a Merit source, but without success.

I think you percentage above are coming from assumption as the figures are rounded in 5%. Can you provide with actual data then it can be analyzed deeper and more accurate? From your assumptions, I can not accept the conclusion even you think it is roughly but still better to have actual data.

I mean 1 or 2 merits for jr. member and only to award others. If not this merits are gone after some time. I have already discussed this in other thread because I thought it would be a great idea but high-rank members took me back on the ground when they explained how accounts farming flooded BTT. I didn't realized that scale of farming is so big. This is a good idea but not for Bitcointalk in the actual state.

This is a good idea but not for Bitcointalk in the actual state. It might partially. It depends on how everything goes. I think we might need to give the merit system more time. Its been 3months (??) only?

I thought that we have misunderstood and that is why I snipped part of your reply. This time I left all your answers visible. I agree with you that I don't know how big farming accounts problem is on BTT and I think nobody knows exact figures, we can only guess. I have seen topic were a farmer was caught with 200 accounts. This is just hard to believe. How much time do you need to post on this accounts and manage them if you are in bounty campaigns? This can't be one person only a group of people.
