Why it's needed? There are no merit sorting however... Posting time https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=last_post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=last_post;desc Views https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=views https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=views;desc Replies https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=replies https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=replies;desc Starter https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=starter https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=starter;desc Topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=subject https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=subject;desc I guess I know more... I will need to look for it.My heart bleeds when I see most of the people in Bitcoin Discussion section are spamming. Beginners & Help section also have the same problem but as a forum specialise in promoting bitcoin I guess we need more focus on Bitcoin Discussion section to keep it clean. I have no idea about Development & Technical Discussion section.

Good suggestion. I'd rather expect it to be implemented across the board and made default way of how threads are sorted in various subs.

Why is this your way to know what threads are trash and what threads are good to post on? I don't think this is a good idea as if done it maybe will be used by spammers as an advantage. They might filter out what threads have the highest merits received and concentrate their spam over there which I think is really a bad idea. This spammers don't need such tool as it won't really be a good thing for the community overall. Sorry but you must find the good threads on your own manually.

You questioned and answered on your own! No, I still have not got the answer of this Why it's needed? I am curious to know the reason for the sorting. I guess this creates two possible metric... 1. Sorting by total number of merits a topic received (including it's replies) 2. Sorting by total number of merits only the topic post have

Got that pal. I never had this thought, thanks. I need to spend more time on the forum.

Give this a go: use the Merit Dashboard, go to the Rankings tab, and filter at the top by one of the subsections you mention. The Top Merited Thread ranking on the right will adjust and show top merited threads sorted by total aggregate merits in the thread. You can additionally use the date filter to delimit the period of time that the merit aggregate applies to. The only thing is that you will then need to locate the thread on Bitcointalk, since there is no hyperlink to the thread in this case (there is a hyperlink in many other cases such as user profile or specific post).

If something like this were possible and the topics that collected the most merits would be the most searched, commented and visualized, eventually it would serve as a downvote, upvote. I think that would be a great option. Especially for users who can not access the forum daily. The "best discussions topics of the week"

True. Discovery of quality posts will be easier if this is how threads are ranked in various boards.

Well, I suppose, this would be a handy alternative to the original proposal.

Thanks for the suggestion. Though I am a newbie, I still feel that it would improve readability of the forum.

Going by what the OP is suggesting, it means certain sections should be proscribed due to their lack of merits and seen as spam warehouse. Are we all ready for that? I have come to realize that sections on technical discussion and Meta have the highest merit distributed but we all aren't tech guys. Some of us need the humour away from technical jargons.

Before you boast of your material acquisition, take a stroll to a morgue and there you will find those who were once better than you're. Only fools think they've it all. Stay humble 🤔

Does not seem like you understood OP's suggestion, which appears to be pretty good actually. OP said threads to be ordered as per merit in different sub-forum. That should not push you away from your humor threads in off-topic.

This would be the case where you assume that meriting is somehow an indicator to how important a post is? Sadly, on BTT it's a little bit different. If you need to find posts based on filters, you should try the search function.

You are denying the very purpose of merit. Moreover, merit based filtration does not prohibit anyone from traversing other threads.

In what ways are we going to sort the threads to find the meritable posts.. Is it going to be the duty of our MODS or a bot Even this boards you mentioned,each and every day, users get merited on such boards.. If only the BD section could reduce the crap that gets scribbled down there, then maybe our MODS would have the time to surf through for merits But for now they are actually surfing to trash threads,ban bumpers and lock redundant topics
