Attention Theymos: This is a sMerit holdup! Hands in the air!

[TalkStar]

It will be a golden opportunity for creative newbie members to earn merits through their lucrative posts.I really think if our forum most valuable members have got the right to give enough amount of merits for a good post than we will possibly see many more great posts and activities from newbies in future.

tryninja or bob could do with a showering of merits for their work.

I had to look to see how many times I've merited TryNinja, and in the past 120 days it's been twice as far as I can tell, but who is this bob of whom you speak?  Boblawblaw?  Bipolar Bob?  BobOnMyKnob?

In any case, it looks like TryNinja has enough activity to make Legendary status but is short quite a few merits.  I'll take a look at some of his posts and see what I can do, because he makes good posts and I respect his opinions on things.  He's just one who's flown under my radar a bit, but he's also a Hero member already.  I've been trying to merit lower-ranked members (failing sometimes) a little more, just so that the good ones don't get left behind and think it's impossible to rank up.  Rank on a discussion forum shouldn't be a big deal, but we all know it is on bitcointalk, so...

Is this Jet Cash imitating a shitpost?  It approximates one, but the grammar and spelling are not bad enough.  The run-on sentence is a good start, though.

Newbies have always been afforded the opportunity to earn merits unhindered,the more reason why it's the ones who put their heart to it and try to communicate on the forum who eventually find it a stroll in the park to rank up.
And I do not think merits should be the major incentive for one to come up with great posts
With or without merits,this forum would exist,thus with or without it,users should be obliged to treat the forum like HOME.

bob123, I assume. He is one of the guys I had in mind when when I was talking about users that do get some merit, but not enough for how good and helpful they are. He posts almost exclusively in the Technical Boards, which probably explains why you don't run in to him much.

Re: TalkStar, I think you are confusing with Talk merit.

Bob123 I meant https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=579628.

He has earnt little merit, his English is sometimes a tad broken but you can work out what he's saying just fine (or I can).

My point is to say that the Bitcoin boards don't get much merit on them to the good users who actually know the fundamentals. Something that, if you're not prepared to learn them or at least have some interest in them, you may as well pm a mod to nuke your account (we are a Bitcoin forum not a gossip about our ranks forum - sort of to the entire community as a whole)...


I was talking about appreciation not rank but trying not to make it look that way...

[LoyceV]

Bob123 I meant https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=579628.

He has earnt little merit

Bob123 received only 250 Merit from the airdrop, and has been earning Merit faster than Activity.
He's receiving a steady flow of Merit:

The point isn't how steadily someone is learning merits. Most people, on the old system, used to become legendary by about 800 activity points. Bob is very close to that and still more than 200 from the merit perspective.

If we believe this isn't an issue I'll disappear back to the technical boards quietly however it seemed something worth pointing out that there's a low distribution on the technical boards.

[Jet Cash]

Is this Jet Cash imitating a shitpost?

No - he doesn't understand when to use the word "amount"

My shitpost account is Flash Cunt ( TMAN is my hero ). but I've gone off that concept, and I'm more interested in tokenised securities.

I expect bob123 to have 1000 Merit before he has 1000 Activity. I thought most users become Legendary far above 800, but you have a point.
I'll try to do my part on those boards, and I've just started with bob123.
I took the lazy route though, by meriting posts that received Merit already.

I agree with this approach. I considered giving merit proportional to activity, but I decided not to because doing so would probably give far more undeserved merit than deserved merit in total. But undoubtedly some people got screwed by this, and if they have decent posts, by all means, give them the 250 or 500 merit that they need to rank-up.

I've quoted this post a few times recently, and bob123 is one of the users who shouldn't be restricted by the Merit system.

Dont expect too much privilege from theymos you  not SPECIAL HERE ,and you are one of those abusing the current trust system please dont pretend of being a nice guy by giving smerits to newbies as far as im here you arent giving a single merit to lower ranks from the past few months and you are just giving it to higher ranks that you know of and what makes your ass turn?

hHmmmm..other sources  has managed to distribute their smerits for months without whining to theymos.

[suchmoon]

Paging TP, sewer overflow on page 4, please lock this thread ASAP.

Why scared mate?  Be a man and post this with your main account and for your information he has been rewarded with higher allocation of smerit from Theymos and ask you can see he's also receiving more smerits from this topic. Also looking at his merit history I believe he's doing just fine.

That makes 111 distinct currently lower rank profiles merited by The Pharmacist at some point or other.

So what's burakike saying? Can someone search to find his main account because I'm force to believe this isn't.

[DdmrDdmr]

<…> please dont pretend of being a nice guy by giving smerits to newbies as far as im here you arent giving a single merit to lower ranks from the past few months <…>

Let’s see if The Pharmacist has given merit to the lower ranks ... Considering all Merit System history, and bearing in mind that these are the current ranks of those merited by him (and not the ranks at the time of the actual sMerit awarding) we’ve got:

Current rank   nMerited
Newbie          14
Jr. Member     33
Member         64

That makes 111 distinct currently lower rank profiles merited by The Pharmacist at some point or other. There are bags more of data I could draw-up, but the above is succinct enough to addresses and refute the assertion as it stands (and falls …).

Bad The Pharmacist. Not so bad The Pharmacist.

[vapourminer]

Whenever a merit source's source amount is adjusted upward or downward, it is immediately completely replenished. This'll be a factor.

my smerits were just increased. so the amount i just saw is the monthly smerit i have to send every month. does that also mean my replenishment schedule is also reset. like if i send all smerits in the next 5 days they are gone till 30 days of the last smerit sent, ie 25 days with none? it wont use the previous sent schedule of so many a day over the last 30 days?

i sometimes tend to merit in spurts till they are gone (well if less than like 10-15 or so) so i have tried to more or less time them to get some every couple day or so. i hate being out for days at a time. do i need to time giving these new ones out for the next month as to not to be out of new ones for days?

[suchmoon]

does that also mean my replenishment schedule is also reset.

Yes. Pace yourself

[Stedsm]

This, The Pharmacist, is the guy I believe I should hand over my merits easily (I don't doubt on my own efficiency, but watching a decent merit-giver asking for sMerits and he who always have been giving only with both hands, should be able to give more without any difficulties) as I believe that he has been very much active in this merit-sharing mania   and I feel he's the perfect crazy-enough guy who knows what he's been doing. Pharmacist, neither it's a help nor is it a favor, you needed them, now you have them. So, no more excuses and get back to work.  

[nguyet91btc]

I fully support this idea. For the first time I saw a source of merit complaining about not being enough of Merit. I would not mind if any source of merit depleted their distribution and spread their merit reasonably would have a trace. I hope in the future you can increase sMerit every month to reward low-ranking members like me who have good articles for the community.

Thank you so much for posting here! I just checked your post history for good posts to Merit, you can expect your reward soon.

[TalkStar]

Giving merits to some one isn't just a reward for his/her creativity & excellenc. Its also encourage that person to deliver more exceptional thoughts & ideas in future. There's maybe some users here who doesn't like to spend their smerit. Perhaps still now they haven't find enough worthy user to spend their smerit.

Personally i feel so encouraging when i get merit from someone here. I always ready to appreciate that i am a apprentice who is trying to learn and follow the lead of my seniors. In real senses one merit can change the entire view of a new user. For us merit isn't everything, we need everyones guidance & acceptation.

Sometimes it really hurts me when i see someone like me try to share his/her thoughts by opening a thread but many guys comment flawlessly that this user is begging  for Merits. Is it because we are low rank members?

I want to tell them plz don't take us as an enemy. Take us as your student. Maybe once upon a time you were someone like us but now you established your own reputation here. Inspiring new users isn't a scam. Obiously users will try their best to achieve their merit by showing his excellence not by begging.

Did you even take a second to anaylse what just happened here  ?

No one is undermining another here solely for being a low ranked member, If your contribution is genuine and based on your ideas it doesn't matter what your rank is.

 @nguyet91btc Just bumped a thread of over 20 days ago, which was already buried. And afaik could have gotten merits from Loyce if his his postbor post history were reasonable enough or just his ideas.
