Sorry no disrespect - are you echoing for yourself? I gone through the first three pages of your
post history. Except this (OP) post - I could not find any other post where you actually tried to put any thought before posting. All of them are in Altcoin Discussion (heaven for spammers) board with one or two exceptions.
Some of your replies:
As of the moment, I had stopped my day trading. It is very unbearable to watch the market bathe in red. I am now just focusing on my bounty campaigns and earning more crypto which I can hold as I wait for the complete turn over of the market. I have invested in some coins, too, but now that the market is unstable, I'll just have to rely on some of my other means of earning via fiat.
Thinking of quitting the world of cryptocurrency just because you can't handle a few minor dips is a good enough reason to think that crypto is not for you. In terms of investments, hodling and trading, it was never intended for people with weak hands. However, if you do decide to leave now, I am quite sure that you are going to regret it soon at the near future and will always scold yourself for giving up halfway through. don't lose hope.
I don't think there is a danger to crypto. The right term to use would be "risky". It is risky in sense that you could lose all of your investments in a short period of time, risky in a sense that it is anonymous, risky in a sense that it is prone to being hacked and risky in a sense that transactions are irreversible. There is a huge border that separates risky and dangerous. Although, both cases requires a person to be safe and be cautious at all times.
Don't you think people don't even bother to read these kind of repetitive posts?
First off, the language barrier. We all know the fact that English is the universal language, but it is NOT the only language there is. Therefore, creating a high quality post in English is too difficult for a non-English native, thus, they are having difficulty with their grammar and syntax. Sometimes, the language barrier is just too strong and English is not something one can learn in an overnight.
Now, one may say that, there are local boards where they can earn some good merits. But taking into consideration the relation between the merit source and the number of user in a local board, it is simply not enough. In my local board, no matter how constructive or great some of their posts are, it is simply not enough to earn a merit due to the lack of merit sources.
Nothing can stop if someone is willing to learn and apply. Here are a list of people who
achieved 100 and more merits from 0! All of them were either newbies or Jr. Members. Dig deep, you will find there are members who are not native English speakers as well. I do not see any excuse. The biggest excuse is the person himself, who is failing to get merit. The person needs to realize it that s/he needs a change. The system/concept is working fine. Don't blame it.
Third, I find the merit system more prone to spam since a lot of people are trying to post more, hoping for a merit source to spot their posts. I also noticed more and more threads are being created because of this reason as well. Although, it is nice to see that the quality of most of the member's post have improve.
Partially true but don't forget that everything has it's pros and cons. If the pros are greater than the cons then consider it a success. So far, merit system IS a success for the forum. There are few people who abused/are abusing it but comparing with the benefit of the merit system these negative impacts are really minor.
Jesus Christ! Another topic about the Merit system...
I would say this one is not as boring as the others we see every day. I found it a bit different. OP really had a lot of thoughts in it before posting it.
