Can somebody tell me why merits are not given in the bounty selection?

When I saw title of this thread, I thought - are you asking seriously? Merit for bounty reports? It's not true that Merit aren't given in this board. Bounty hunters often give Merit to bounty managers to liss their asses . Also, some users get Merit for their bounty reports - it's likely that they just bought Merit.
But in general, Merit aren't given in this board simply because there are no quality posts. Do you really think that bounty reports is Merit worthy thing?. If we would start giving Merit for bounty reports it just would beat purpose why Merit system was created - bounty spammers would get chance to rank up.

I can't stay in the Newbie, I am getting out already

You are writing posts with no value , posting social media reports ( in stupid manner, quoting your reports over and over again) and recently you have started to beg for merit.
These kinds of posts are not merit worthy, start writing good posts or you wont get any merit,ever.

And you think to post over and over your social networks, tweets/shares are something constructive that deserve to be merited?

Some bounty reports were rewarded actually.

Vou, this is a unpleasnt surprise.

I start my posting from the bounty selection of this forum after about 10 months of registration and ever since then no merit was given to me on all my posts. In my quest to know the reason, I find out that there are no quality posts in there to give merit to someone. My question now, why do the forum still allow the section to exist?
I can we scrap it from the forum since it doesn't give rewards to any post? I am very inquisitive to know why merits are not been given and the section still allowed to exist.

You literally made a new thread on the same idea?

Your last thread was this one : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5037345

And now you made another threads with the similar topic about "no merit for bounties". Like I said in your last thread you are trying to incite the members of this forum who are against bounty hunters spamming the forum. I would agree with that but that does not mean that the section is there for nothing. That part of the forum generates a lot of traffic for the bottomfeeder counties and thus a good source of income for the forum.

If you have a problem with that section just put it on "Ignore boards" just like people put each other on ignore.

Merit button should be remove from bounty and ANN board in order to prevent merit abuse. [...]

I think it would be also useful to forbid posting for all ranks lower than Jr Member in bounty threads.

I have suggested this suggestion a few weeks ago but there are no updates in it. Maybe we can see this happening next year or if there are no possible solution for spamming (disregard the removal of signature campaign). I want this to happen. Putting a rank required there. Lets wait if admins will implement it.
