[RUPL] Ranking-Up Pipe Line of Forum Members

[DdmrDdmr]

<...>
From your list:
185 users have 10 Merit
20 users have 11 Merit
13 users have 12 Merit
10 users have 13 Merit

As expected, the majority of the list has exactly 10 Merit, which makes it very likely they don't really deserve it. Comparing to the number of users with 11 Merit and more, I would exact at most 30 users with 10 Merit. That would mean 5 out of 6 bought their Merit. <...>

Yes, the grouped distribution certainly shows the 10 Merit group as outliers of the surrounding norm, although I did somewhere post that multiples of 5 are much more likely to be given in TX than the surrounding numbers (i.e. 10 is much more likely than 8,9,11,12) , with the exception of 1,2 and 3 sMerit TXs if I recall properly what I wrote.

The issue is really using this to prove with certainty rather that probability, and then the fact that the penalty is red-tagging at most unless ties to other offences can be made or connections to fraudulent alts. I went through a couple randomly and it’s not easy to discern. A few of them had positive trust of a kind, another was awarded by a legendary also with quite a bit of trust, that awarded 10 sMerits to multiple accounts, etc.

[fonship]

would be interesting to see how many members have the merits and not the activity to rank up.. myself (come on theymos - give me legendary) - but I imagine there will be a few other outliers as well

Quickly derived from the Dashboard, based on awarded sMerits:

* 3 Heroes pending move to Legendary: TMAN , hilariousetc , Last of the V8s
  (all have the minimum activity -> in the range of 775 and 1030 and enough merits). Since activity is a range, I guess we can’t be sure when the exact moment of up-ranking will take place.

* 10 Sr. Members lacking Activity (not Merit) to get to Hero: joniboini, micgoossens , xtraelv , GameKyuubi , krogothmanhattan , Piggy , RichDaniel , RuSS512 , Hell-raiser , jimmyk

* 8 Full Members lacking Activity (not Merit) to get to Sr. Member: DdmrDdmr , sncc , theyoungmillionaire , bitmover , zentdex , laszlo , pitipawn , zeded

* 9 Members lacking Activity (not Merit) to get to Full Member: 1miau , ChardsElican28 , doudou1110 , etherclassic , choubao0514 , Story777 , tam31 , Technor , pafu (strange case)

* 311 Jr. Members or less lacking Activity (not Merit) to get to Member (long list).

Thanks man - interesting

As I was telling this merit system is a joke, i just review one person from above list micgossens, look how he got merit, can someone make me understand on what basisthis post deserved merit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg43578603#msg43578603
I did not feel to spend time to review whole merit is is getting everyday just from one thread and he also gives merit on same thread ONLY.

[fonship]

The account which gave micgossens merits have behaviour of giving repeated merits to same people again and again: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=379487
check his merit giving pattern.

[fonship]

See how even legendary member handling their parked account:
See this merit record: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=368591 , post this link as well bcoz merit record will go after 120 days: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053293.msg12204754#msg12204754

The guy gave merit is legendary and he gave merit to a 2015 post, straight 10 merit to move up his parked account.

That parked account is also from 2014 only with 50 activities.

Now lets not pretend that merit system works, only good people are suffering.

I only picked one account from above list.

Now what action will be taken against such legendary members?

I don't think you understood how Merit system works. When I looking to your profile it's full of underworld bounty reports. If you ever contribute to the forum or do you ever shared your knowledge with others? If so I'm more than happy to give you the first Merit. So post your best shot for me or other members.

However you better to "read" sticky notes in the boards and always try to use "search" function before posting.

[fonship]

i can see how smartly my comments were ignored here, when you dont have counter, ignore.
Because truth is little bitter who wants to take steps to improve system, everyone is busy getting merits afterall, thats why i hate this merit system bcoz people planning actions which can give them merits.

This include write more about merit itself, making new thread, doing analysis about merit, interact on meta threads.

Guess what?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I've been struggling to get ranked up. Pls who can help me as I feel frustrated already.

It's no wonder you haven't gotten any merits, as all of your posts are of nearly the same short length and aren't any good.  It's obvious you're posting with an eye on the number of characters--obviously for your campaign minimum.  Don't you think you ought to improve your writing instead of whining about not ranking up?  Put a little more effort into your posts and somebody might give you some merits, but what you're doing now is obviously not working.

Also, when you're quoting a post, reply underneath it.  That's the forum standard and I'm not sure why you haven't picked up on that.

Alright thanks so much for the correction, I will try my best to improve on the lapses.

I've just created a Google Sheet with the 311 cases and most of the variables I've got (as of last Friday):

The ones with exactly 10 Merit is what I'm interested in. If they would have earned their Merit through honest means, I would expect about the same number of users with 10 Merit as with 11 Merit.
From your list:
185 users have 10 Merit
20 users have 11 Merit
13 users have 12 Merit
10 users have 13 Merit

Yes I've found a lot of them abused with friends or even their main account, some cases are still reported here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2896910.200 but since we have have a small number of cases where DT put a red tag on abusers, I've simply stopped to report those "small" merit abuses, it takes hours to find all of them and basically for nothing.

You can do the same with 100 and 250 merits, you will probably find the same % where the x00 number is dominant, and not is not a coincidence.

The list is perfect to both help those users who deserves to rank up and catch the cheaters too, hope we can keep this thread up to date.

Out of sMerit for now. I'll come back again when I can give to those who deserve.

[bitart]

Still not possible to decide if a hero is waiting only for the merits to come, when his/her activity is somewhere in the middle between the min/max range of the required to become a Legendary?
I know it doesn't make any difference if that hero is waiting for the merits or the activity, but anyway

Hi,

Is it possible to add this user to the list ?
shitcointalk

He just got his 90th merit and has the activity to be a full member.

Actually, I created this thread only to help the users who deserved to be ranked up, But now I can see some of the members still retained at the same merit level where I include them in the first place. Sometimes it is surprised to see how they got that merits too. You are right and I think now we can identify the cheaters too.

He will be added for my next update and he received his 90^th merit after my latest update.

as I have said a few times people need to stop fucking bitching and learn some shit..

1) that whole thread is a totally different world to the rest of the forum, its like a clique within a clique within a world of its own.. I suggest reading about it and either integrating there or shutting the fuck up.
2) read the fucking rules spaztard, 3 posts in a row isn't allowed - even newbies do not do this
c) you are a joke - Merit is life.
f) better yourself instead of worrying about others, who gives a fuck if you have time to check into the largest thread on the forum
12) I dislike you and your attitude
z) did I tell you to read the rules yet?
