I have 10 merit to give for Jr.Members and newbies [ Finished]

[mikeywith]

I see a lot of complain from people that only high rank members get merit and so on, this is really not the case, many Legendary members have way less Merit than lower ranked members, if you are not getting Merit then your posts are very likely unworthy of any.

I am giving 10 merit only to Jr and newbies.


rules are

1- only 1 post per user.
2- posts related to ICO's will not be considered at all.
3- you don't have to say anything, just post the link of your post that you think i should merit

4: The post must be in English , i forgot to mention this but i thought it's obvious, i can't merit something that I don't even understand, i need to read it, and judge if there is any effort put into it, even if the post is merited by many other people i can't merit it if I don't get it !

* will lock the topic once the 10 merits are given out

current merit count = 0


I hope this will encourage some people to start posting quality posts.

Good luck

I tend to ignore most post offered to me for merits, they tend to be boring and of low value. It's much more fun to spend some time cruising through the indexes looking for interesting topics. You learn all sorts of new things that way. I find that it is often best to visit the third or fourth index pages for a popular board. That way you can avoid the low value threads that are being bumped by the bounty spammers.

In most cases i do not care about merit, but this time i will give it a try because seems like the rank system means something to other people.

Let's give it a shot then!

You did not specify if the posts must have been posted in the general forum. Hopefully, it is not a necessity
The post I've shared is a handful of compiled statistics about merit circulation on local Polish forum, created to
initiate a local community 'revival'.

There's an already existing thread doing this same act, you  can get the links there.  There's no need opening a new thread for this.  Just indicate your interest of contributing 10merits on the thread or better still send OP the merit as other users have done.
I'm sure very soon mods will have to start moving the merit related threads to Off-topic board.

It is not the same act, sir.

Here is a similar thread doing exactly what's he about doing why then flood this board with giveaways

It is not the same act, sir. In the thread you pointed out, the merit points are awarded to Newbie Members for a Chance to Rank Up To J. Member.
In this very thread, both Newbie and J. Members have a chance to be awarded a point

Exactly, mods have allowed this because admin allowed few such type of threads doing sharing activity until it doesn't look like the OP is trying to incentivize for their posting (as asking for xx number of posts to check before giving merits increases the possibility of huge spam being spread by newbies). If OP really wants to help and if their motive is selfless, they can give those merits to the person who is already doing the same thing before them already (just an advice). Else, if OP is satisfied with their thread going to off-topic section but are still willing to help, I guess they should keep up the good work and keep it going.

This is one more similar thread.

It would work better if members were to present posts which were not posted by them, this would curb those who simply look for their most presentable post, whether or not it's worthy of merit. But this wouldn't work either, as most will not burden themselves with that task, and those that do would likely be suggesting posts from their alts.

The best option in merit giving, is to take out time to scan the forum for quality posts.
If you regularly visit the forum and engage in discussions, the should not he tasking.

We already have those type in the forum and we don't need this board to be spam by giveaways. If you see a post worth meriting use the Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source or *FREE merits - CLICK HERE!!! * and for your good reports you might get some free merit as encouragement. (I'm a beneficiary of it)

the problem is this, i only go on a few boards, i don't have the time to roam around all of them, and some good posts might be there somewhere, so it would be easier for me to spend my Smerit this way.

better still send OP the merit as other users have done.

do you even understand how Merit works? so I send the OP you talking about 10 merit, he ends up with 5 Smerit so smart ! , plus this is clear that i want to help newbies and members rank up, i can't do this by Meriting someone who is offering to help other members rank up. it doesn't work this way.
--------------------------------------------------------
anyway i appreciate the contribution and i would ask people not to spam this topic , the rules are clear, if you are a newbie or jr.member post 1 post that you think deserves merit, if you want to discus an alternative way of doing this, start your own topic and host the talk there, i would like to scroll down and see only LINKS to posts so i can do this easier.

Thanks.

up to this point all posts have been reviewed, sadly only 2 deserve merit, but this is only based on my opinion which could be way off to say the least, so don't be mad , other people might find it worthy of merit. feel free to post something else and i will reconsider it, those who got the merit, please don't post anymore.

Is it legal to discuss merit this way? I don't know is it accepted or not by forum rules. I think merit is valuable for the valuable post. It's like an honor to the important and valuable post.

I guess it's not your headache to think whether it would be legal or not; as if it wouldn't have been, admin/s or a mod would have already sent it to Off-topic section where most such threads are being moved nowadays. If we don't discuss/debate on this, how will the average Joe be able to understand the concept that's been made understood a 100 times in many different threads? /s
