Getting merited on post made on local board

[Barcode_]

Good posts are not necessarily long-form, short and fine articles can also be a good post. Complaints are normal. It is normal to complain when changes occur.
Yes, you did spent a lot of time and efforts, But I always feel that you are not interacting with them. Although you communicate with them, you always have a distance from them. You lack a friend-like interaction with them.
They are always afraid to say the wrong words, although you are not terrible, but I realize that they are afraid of you.Don't know if you feel it?

For your information, I did not come here to make friends on this forum, so if there is any Chinese users who are thinking they could avoid getting punish for breaking the forum rules if they are on good terms with me, they are totally wrong. I am a very firm and strict person and I will take the required actions against any users whenever I found them breaking the forum rules on the Chinese local board. In the past, due to the lack of moderation on the Chinese local board, many account farmers have took advantage of the situation, and they have managed to farm so many high ranking accounts with tons of plagiarism posts and threads, their accounts range are from Legendary to Jr. Member rank, and the numbers of accounts farmed by them are insane.

I don't think Chinese users don't like discussion. Just because of cultural differences, Chinese users are more accustomed to discussing issues in QQ group or WeChat group. I have joined many WeChat groups, where I have daily voice conversations and discuss some deep topics, such as Yesterday we discussed a lot of problems with ADA, XLM, RSK and other altcoins. Maybe they prefer some instant social platforms.

I do not understand why are there some users who are always using cultural differences as an excuse when they are clearly using a forum that is not made in China, I have already explained this issue so many times on the Chinese local board, you should not confuse the rules between different forums or social platforms, if they truly want to use this forum, they should learn to respect the rules and regulations of this forum in the first place.

This is actually a good solution. Don't rush to send your Merit. When you want to send to some members Merit, you should observe at least one week.

I will only merit a user who is willing to show me that he is truly putting an effort to change his posting behavior if his posting history in the past is mainly consisting of 85% one liners posts. Users who are unable to write exceptional good threads or posts could focus more on writing posts that are of better quality to show his own opinion on discussion in any topics, I would still merit their posts at any period of time.

I even used the example below to try and convince those Chinese users to embrace the change but it seems that all my efforts have gone to waste.

Your efforts are not wasted, I have seen some changes.

Yes, my efforts are not totally wasted, there are still some Chinese users who are willing to embrace the change, I can see it too, but I knew from the bottom of my heart, there is still a very long way to go in order to improve the overall quality of the whole Chinese local board.

Comparing with other forums is their freedom. If they thinks other forums are better, they go to other forums. If they want to stay here, just follow the rules here.
You work very well, don't care what others said, just suggest that you have more interaction, don't always be so serious,should more relaxed communication.

In addition, I add that I am only analyzing the data. I don’t think that you are working badly. Don’t misunderstand.

I am always a very serious person whenever there are issues that requires my attention on the Chinese local board, there will always be some users who are trying to take advantage of people kindness, I have already given enough warnings and friendly advice to all the Chinese users on the Chinese local board, if they are not willing to listen and learn about the forum rules, I believe the harsh punishment given to them is the only way to let them learn when they are constantly breaking the forum rules.

Actually, the charts above are really @zentdex’s. I created a couple of months later a post on the matter (see Forum Metrics - Section/subsection sMerit breakdown in detail), although I find it more illustrating to look at the Merit Dashboard to see the numbers at a glance. Specifically, The tab labelled “Section Subsection” allows us to view the complete aggregate of sMerits awarded to local boards.

The nice additional feature is that we can filter by month, and get a view of how things are going recently. For example, if we filter by the month of September 2018 (up until last Friday’s data), the local boards have gained:

Russian (1.828), German (919), Turkish (878), Indonesian (487), Italian (238), Spanish (215), French (203), Croatian (93), Portuguese (61), Arabic (57), Philippines (48), Romanian (30), Chinese (19), Greek (18), Japanese (eight - I wrote it in text since it comes out a a smilie), Indian (5), Polish (5), Dutch (4), Others (27).

As we can see, during September 2018 there are large differences between local sections (but really the above data should be compared to the number of posts made on these sections). Let’s see if the added merit sources can up-lift these figures…

Thanks for your observation ddmrddmr.
You made so many merit analysis that I thought that one was yours too.


I read somewhere that he new added sources would have only 10 smerits per week. I hope this information is wrong, because some local boards have almost zero smerits circulating perdaynow.. :/

Well, the total pool size is now of 23.045 sMerit per 30 days for the 30 merit sources, and I gather was 19.500 sMerits before for 84 merit sources. The overall picture is a win, with 3.545 more sMerits potentially awardable.

It’s likely that merit source allowance varies from one source to another, and that possibly the newly added ones start-off with modest allowances to see how they operate from there.
Looking at the increase in the total, I’d say that some of the original 84 merit sources also had an increase in their allowance. I’ve looked at a few on the Merit Dashboard and some of them have an awarding progression in the past that may be related to an increase in allowance.
