I'm starting a blog about my life here as a merit source.

I've just put B2evolution onto Talk Merit, and i'm going to use it to write a blog about my activities as a bitcoin talk member, merit source, domain name dealer and Bitcoin investor. My main purpose in doing this is to try to improve the quality of the posting on Bitcoin Talk.

So what type of articles would you guys like to see in a blog?

If it is your blog how possibly it concerns bitcointalk members? I supposed this is the wrong board for your idea I think it is suitable in other section off-topic or serious discussion IDK. Sorry if I misunderstand something about your post but I thought meta only a discussion about bitcoin forum can you explain this sir Jet Cash on a more in depth details with the same benign custom.

So what type of articles would you guys like to see in a blog?

How about start with a good introduction about bitcoin in general and advance with a more complex technology as a domain name dealer?

Why would I want to post an introduction to Bitcoin. The forum is full of threads about that.

I thought posting about hunting for post to award with merit, policy on awarding merits, problems with reading and reviewing boards. I'm also interested in working on a way to isolate some mebers from the merit system ( as far as I am concerned). All of these topics would seem to be forum wide.

I don't think there is a more suitable board, as it will cover all boards, and forum policy. I hope it will also be useful to a wide range of members.

As usual, I admire your drive.

Maybe touch on the shitposting problem as you see it and how difficult it is to find good posts to merit--especially among the lower-ranked users.  I probably would write a little bit of an account of how you're trying to help people improve their posting abilities, in the form of FitToTalk.

If it was me, I'd probably have a Shitpost of the Week, and probably a Top 10 Shitposts on Bitcointalk, or something of the kind--but you're a much nicer guy than I am.  I'd use a blog to name and shame, not to chronicle being a merit source.  But I'm sure you'll find enough enthusiasm for whatever you're going to do, and I wish you luck.  Hope your wi-fi connection is solid.

Edit:  I find the life you're living to be an interesting one, more so probably than anything you could write about life as a merit source.  I'm not sure what exactly you've disclosed on the forum, but I think you've said that you're cruising around and so forth.  I'd like to hear more about that.  Maybe you can intersperse some of those experiences with the merit source ones.

There are too many shitposters to bother trying to list them, and i just put them on ignore.
The things that members may find interesting are items such as my latest possible problem. I think that one of the global forum spammers has picked up a newbie's BT identity to join Fit to Talk, presumably he intends to spam the boards there. As I don't have BT members' email addresses, he can use any address for his application. These spammers and thieves are a massive problem all over the net.

I'm not sure how to get around this problem. Maybe I'll start to PM members here when I receive a suspicios application, and ask them to confirm that they want to join the project. It's points like this that led me to believe that this thred should be in Meta.

It would be good/helpful for us if you post something like:
How to make a quality post?
What is merit?
How to obtain merit?
Why we should avoid shit posting?
We we have to avoid sheet poster?
Why we can get negative trust?
Why we will give negative trust?
Merit and demerit of trust score.
Merit and demerit of merit system.
How to avoid merit abuse? And many more think like this. It is just my opinion. Thanks.

Thank you for your list of topics. Most of them are more suitable for standard thread posts rather than blog entries, but I will touch on a few of the points in the 'daily' comments. Some I have already posted in various locations.

I started a thread at Fit to Talk entitled 'How to create good posts, and build your reputation at Bitcoin Talk', but I didn't get any feedback on it, so I haven't added the last few posts, - https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php?topic=27.0

There isn't a comprehensive description of the new merit system, and this is something that I plan to write in the near future, There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding of the system, and how it is of great benefit to the forum.

I'm not the best person to write about trust. I don't use it, and I don't have a deep understanding of the system. I believe that the more general and nebulous concept of reputation is more important. I may discuss that.

Merit abuse is a serious problem in my opinion, but there are a number of members here that are making valuable contributions to help in its reduction. The statistical analyses are obvious example.

With the exception of a number of basic points, ways of gaining merits is a subjective opinion. There are numerous guides here that have been created by merit awarders, and I started the Fit to Talk project to help people to create meritable posts. The paucity of members utilising or signing up for these projects shows that very few are prepared to make any effort, but expect merits to be provided to help them with the difficulties in their personal lives. I will post the results of a few cruises through the boards as I hunt for decent posts. These could act as guidelines for the few that are interested in working for merit.
