[RUPL] Ranking-Up Pipe Line of Forum Members

Allow me to remove you from your own list Welcome to Full Member territory!

I checked fine99's merit history, and I wouldn't be surprised if he bought his 245 Merits. I don't think this post for example deserves 50 Merit. He's already tagged by Staff member dbshck for merit abuse.
He's also on my ignore list, which most likely means he's been spamming one of my giveaway campaigns with invalid entries and/or multiple accounts (about 2 years ago). The plot thickens: the post under his post with 50 Merit, which was made less than 3 minutes later, is also on my ignore list.
So my question is: should users with likely merit abuse be on the RUPL?

Congrats to your new rank vphasitha01, you just got the key to the ivory tower !

And thanks for adding me to your list. I didn't want to show up here as I don't want to beg for sMerit (which imo kind of defeat the whole point). But Kenzawak (thanks to him as well  ) did it for me.

Thanks for removing me from my own list and at some point I would be thinking whether I should include myself in the list or not. But finally I thought I just scraped the data and it's not a situation where I feeled conflict of interest. Thanks again for ranking me to full member.

I also think it's clear cut case and he should be red tagged by DT member. So I think it's better to remove those Merit abuse users and inactive users(not active last 3 months) from my list since it will save the time of other members who willing to spend their sMerits.

Thanks @Shitcointalk for your kind words.

This thread is not a place where you beg for Merits, but for giving little help for members who actually deserved to be ranked up and I think you're one of them. I'm hoping that you will be ranked up sooner(you deserved it). Sometimes gaining the last few Merits to ranked up is the toughest and in my case LoyceV ease that path for me.

I think Zapo deserve full member rank. His current merit status 97. More 3 merit need to become Full member as well he have enough activity. Perhaps you can update your list. Eventually I can say he is doing good job to prevent signeture spam.

For reference 

Regardless of who you are I want to thank you for actually doing your job on this campaign. You're pretty much one of the only new campaign managers that is doing what they should and vetting users beforehand. If everyone did this then the forum wouldn't be in such the state it is. Keep up the good work.

Zapo reached his Merits limit after I updated the thread(after the latest merit data dump at last Friday). @Zapo really deserved to be ranked up due to the way he is doing his campaign job and how about this way? I will give him two sMerits and you can give the last one.

BTW I still remembered who ranked up me from the Jr. Member level to Member level

Looking through my merit history when I found this, gotta say, thank you!

Much appreciated

This is a good initiative OP, I have noticed a sharp decrease in merit awarding too.

I've created a thread about it here: Has the Merit faucet dried up? Solutions?.

I was a Jr. Member when the merit system was implemented so, I got 0 merit from the start but I was able to gain all of my current merit and managed to rank up to Full Member before having the necessary activity. Not sure what happened all of a sudden, now I have the necessary activity but I'm lacking merit... 

I believe I am posting the same way I did it in the past, but it seems my posts go unnoticed. If you guys have time, take a look at my post history and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

OP, any chance I could be added to your main post?

I'm also lacking merit in order to rank up and would appreciate more attention to my post history since it seems like making my posts visible enough is a big issue for me.

Just to note here, that this is a list of people who need 1-5 merit to rank up / depending on the rank of course/. In your case you gonna need to wait until you reach 245 merit. I hope you don't need to wait to long as I'm familiar with your posting habits.Looking forward to give you the missing merit to rank up

Aaa.... ok I missed that "small" detail.

I though OP was just creating a list of people who are missing merits to ran-up, didn't check their current merit rankings.

In your case you gonna need to wait until you reach 245 merit. I hope you don't need to wait to long as I'm familiar with your posting habits.Looking forward to give you the missing merit to rank up

Thanks for the encouragement but from the looks of it, it's going to take some time for me to gather the extra 80 or so, merits...
I have been trying to make my posts more visible these days, let's see how this works out.

Don't know why, but since I gained the necessary activity, I'm seeing getting the required merit as a challenge.

Well, since you were not so active the last months the lack of merit is completely understandable. If I remember correctly you stated with 0 merit, right? So more than 170 is quite an achievement and 80 more should't be so big barrier. I'm pretty sure that i'm gonna see you on this list soon.

Back to the OP, You need to update the merit scores. BTW How often you do that? I have some merit left but I cant find anyone deserving.

Merits given away in the first few months after the implementation of the system were way more than the latter months till now. The distribution has since been decreasing, and a possible reason for that is that Merits are cut into half when given away, because the receiver only gets to give away 1 sMerit after receiving 2 Merits which have probably caused the existing sMerits to shrink somehow. As soon as more Merit Sources are chosen, that amount would gradually increase, hopefully. Other than that, the posts that are constructive or even mildly constructive are unnoticed because of the spam that is posted after them which covers them up, and a person carrying sMerits to give away don't get to see them unless they care to surf multiple pages in search of a post worth Meriting. And that is very big reason why some people being constructive enough are lacking Merits.


To @OP,
A little shameless self-promotion-- Is it possible for a person to get a place in the list if he lacks more than 10 Merits to rank up?

Thank you for adding me to the list. I was hoping to get listed in this list (where we are posting right now) because I thought it has more active members which may help me a little bit to get the required Merits to rank up. I think my posts are good enough for that, but maybe others don't think so and I don't always meet their criteria for a quality post.

[vphasitha01]

Back to the OP, You need to update the merit scores. BTW How often you do that? I have some merit left but I cant find anyone deserving.

Sorry for the late replies. I have been busy with my family for the last few days and now I'm back. BTW I have decided to update the merit score and the member's list in fortnightly because I'm somewhat busy with my workplace in these days.

Don't bother to look at merit score If I'm already updated the remarks column

You are doing great and you will be surely added to my next update if you are able to get those 2 merits to be eligible

Don't press too hard mate and just do what you have done previously to gain 88 Merits. I also felt sometimes that we don't get merited even though our posts are good enough to be merited. Then I realize there are way better posts/posters also still not getting merited and sometimes those posts are hidden between the spammer's posts or getting unnoticed by other members. But don't be demotivated and always try to see what you have achieved.

There are 200 000 recently demoted newbies that need 1 merit to rank up. Work on that list..

Sorry for spamming your thread, i just couldn't help myself.

You can easily find few of them (actually it's becoming a trend now) by looking at threads recently created in Meta .

Don't be surprised to see if first few pages will surely be clogged with Newbies Prayer Massages in the next few days. @theymos can we have a separate sub-forum for those who got demoted recently?
