Merit source application (French local board)

[TryNinja]

Sorry but I don't get the point of doing that...

Giving some HQ posts a chance of getting merit? Sometimes the merit sources miss a good post, so putting a few of them in a single post makes their life easier while helping the good users getting a few merits.

Except it's in french. So there's no interest to do this. Our moderator see them and the others merit source don't speak our language.

Not necessarily. I've seen Jet Cash using Google Translator and meriting a few posts from another language when it was clear that they were HQ.

Also, what if the merit source misses the post? Collecting a few posts that didn't receive any merit (or didn't receive enough) shouldn't be a hard task.

I hadn't thought of that.

i have miss this thread i support F2b too

[Coin++]

My support for F2b to be a merit source :-).

[Hellmouth42]

Total support for F2b, it is a member whose contributions are balanced and full of relevance.

For the record, our new moderator for the French section is "simple" Member and the section has never been so well organized!

The advantage of giving some responsibility to relatively new members is that they have a fresh and up-to-date view on things (and no positive or negative liabilities with hundreds of other members!).

In short, F2b source of merit would work more naturally for the "common good" !

[dave111223]

I also support F2b, especially since merit seems to be a real problem in the French local board

[Laeltin]

I am Full member for almost 6 months so I also support F2B. The French local needs a new source of merit.
Thank you

I see a lot of people quoting looong threads when they apply to be a merit source.

A post doesn't need to be long to be valuable, some posts are just long and re-iterating the same things posted on this forum for years or just summarizing obvious things.

I would challenge all merit applicants to find 5 posts that are 2 lines long and are merit worthy.

--------------------

Going back to your application, it's good that people want to step up and help make a local forum more active by distributing more merit, but I would still want to see a more established user being assigned as merit source.
You may think you already know a lot but the thing is you simply don't.

A more established user, in my opinion, would be at least Sr. Member.

Following your logic, you don't know what you're talking about and your opinion is worthless.  

He has the activity of a senior, just sayin'.

[Shitcointalk]

Thanks for your contribution vlad230, it's nice to see some support here.

So in order to help the OP, I just found the first two lines long post which is merit worthy : the one just above mine !

[linkdefeu]

Hello F2b. I didn't see this thread before.

Of course, you have my full support for your walk to become merit source.

The French section would grow with another merit source. So if you candidature can help, it's great !  

I hope you will be heard and chosen !

Thanks for your feedback! I understand your point of view. I know the Member rank is a little bit low for a Merit source application and I put a few words about it in the OP.
I hope I could rank up to Full Member pretty soon, even if it's still not ideal it would be better (again, earning 150 more Merits to become Sr Member with only one source for dozens of members seems quite difficult).

Your comment about two or three lines posts is very relevant. Even if I don't think the posts I selected are "re-iterating the same things" or "summarizing obvious things", I agree with the fact that I didn't choose enough short valuable posts.
So challenge accepted, I will try that (but I will also include 3 or 4 lines posts, that's still very short).
I just need to mention that, like in the OP, these posts will be in French too.

[Aerys2]

This is indeed something the french section would need

[Halab]

Hi, I am the moderator of the French section and I approve this application

[vlad230]

Following your logic, you don't know what you're talking about and your opinion is worthless.  

When did I say someone's opinion is worthless?

This is mainly about time spent on the forum to understand things and get involved in what's going on here.
I remember when I was a Member here and though I knew it all in a few months but the fact was I was wrong.

Thanks for your feedback! I understand your point of view. I know the Member rank is a little bit low for a Merit source application and I put a few words about it in the OP.

Please take my comments as constructive criticism.
Yes, it's definitely going to be a challenge to rank-up. But see it like an "initiation" or a "journey" you need to pass through that is going to bring you more knowledge about the crypto currency world & BCT.

I'm not saying your selected posts fall into that category. It was just an observation of the posts I have seen mentioned in merit source application threads.

I do, don't worry about that
Again, thank you for your feedback. Trust me, that's not useless.

Hello everyone 
I am new in this forum and, sincerely, if I am still there, it is clearly because of the great french community.

I would want to support F2b as a merit source because in fact he is already doing this role.

I posted a lot of controversal posts (That I will soon translate in english) to start many debates about the technical and financial situation of bitcoin and F2b was always here to frame the debate and reward without any bias those who take time to share and participate with the community. I also read the older posts, and I can confirm you that he is doing a very good job since a while.

[qwk]

Well, my French is a little rusty (3 years of school, more than 20 years of forgetting), so it was really tough going over part of your post history.
Nevertheless, from your posts I conclude that you're probably "the right stuff".
Give it some time, though.

Also, here's some extra merit for you to rank up and also to have some smerit for distribution
