is there a penalty for the merit giver?

[paxmao]

I'm still new in this forum, I don't really understand how this works.
can someone review the history of my post?
I hope to get at least 1 merit. I have tried to make the best post according to the knowledge I have about cryptocurrency and a little about my economic knowledge.

terimakasih banyak

Oh my, I think you just got on the ignore list of 3 merit sources. Go to a merit review thread and pretend that this post never happened.

And also... pretend that this other is not yours

I have been thinking about investing in ETH for sometime.

Should I invest in Ethereum now or wait?
currently the price of Ethereum is $ 3.50, this price is the same as in 2016.
I thought this was the right time to buy, I bought Ethereum one week ago."

Edit: you may be referring to your local coin.

Abusing Merits or trading it isn't allowed so users who will be caught doing such things will be punish for sure. They will receive Negative Trust, since Merit is not moderated they will not be banned (if my memory serves me right).

Based from the title itself, merit giver won't be punish as long as you distribute your sMerits in different good ways and it is much better to not receive any Merits than to get one from trading it.

Anyway, the answer for your question is too obvious. Making thread for topic like this is unnecessary. Please try to search and read sometimes.

Same with the above.  As far as I know, you can only receive negative trust rating by merit abuse.  Can anyone cite an example that a user was banned or suspeneded becaue of merit abuse?

I think it may not be an issue as I believe it will be the newbies effort to make good constructive  postings to be able to achieve 1 merit.  People should move on and just continue to do what is right.

I suggest a solution to fight against slightly abuser on merit system, especially Junior Members who got 1 merit for non-sense thread to satisfy the new rank requirement launched several days ago.

The start of new ERA!

Feel free to find and report abusers!

As you all can see in the table and chart above, merit distribution has been almost double last week.
Very impressive effects of new rank requirements (and of course, more merit sources accepted and acted actively).

I also give the link to helpful topic which created by @LoyceV.
List of demoted Jr. Members who were ranked up again
As the author stated, being listed in the list there don't mean that those ones are abusers.

The rules on merit awarding are much stricter for merit sources.

Really?  I've always felt encouraged to give it away to as many legitimate users as I can find.

I'm impressed by the sheer number of newbies you have helped rank up.

There are many newbies that are not shit-posters that also don't make super exciting posts. But they do have value to the forum because they are clearly
interacting with others. I think it is good that merit sources are helping them out of newbie hell.  It is annoying for them that they cannot post images.

I think it is great that you are looking for reasons to give. Perhaps some people over-think it.
