Ideally, all posts should be good. I'm still considering creating a thread in which I delete all posts that don't earn Merit, but it doesn't really fit any board.
All posts start out as not having merit and some posts don’t earn merit for some time after they are written. Also, it would be difficult to have a conversation if some posts are getting deleted because no one gave it merit. |

The demerit-idea would be used to get rid of undeserved Merits.
....
OK, but how can we prevent deserved merits, not to be demerited because of revenge, hate, different point of views, etc? If there will be some groups, who will start to demerit the other groups' members, the hard earned merits could vanish in a very little time... |

What we could do is create a token on the HowieCoin blockchain. People may purchase tokens, and if they want to demerit someone, they can burn a token or two or a million and the smart contract will automatically demerit someone. Bitcointalk will be the 1st to give HowieCoins a use case. I think implementing Demeritokens will help the marketcap of HowieCoins soar to the moon and beyond. I will go to shutterstock to assemble a team to get to work on it ASAP. Anyone know of a some good white papers that I can "reference?" |

I see we still do not need what you propose, it can still be represented by the existence of a trust system, where if we do not trust a member or make some bad posts then we can give feedback to the member by giving red trust because in this system we also give reasons for giving feedback.

Neutral - perhaps. Red - no. |

I say use the same system. I have 10 sMerits and I can either use them do downgrade someone's merit or I can use them to increase someone's merit. Will there be rampant abuse? Probably. That doesn't make the idea any less solid.

It is because looking for a valuable thing in a place full of garbage is much harder. If you are going to look around and all you see is garbage you'll just be ignoring that one.
If we are going to use a "demerit" system then for sure there is no enough sendable demerit for all the trash we have here hmm.

Sometimes you just come across posts that are bad enough, that you just wish you could do something.
This is what the report to moderator button is for. I think the OP isn't talking about spam or plagiarized posts here. OP is talking about posters struggling to make a point in a post but then can't because of their lack of coordination or inability to use well the language of communication. |

Instead of demerit for a bad post, a 'karma' tag should do to indicate the post is worthless.

I would rather have a convertible activity points to merits if possible than point systems of bad posts. Maybe we could convert 20 activity to 1 or a half merit.

You mean an indicator that one has made some bad posts? You know what if nor for money we could all do posts good but because bounty managers requires more or less 15 posts per week and the hectic schedule with work then it will just be possible to spam more or less 15 posts just in one day. This is the actual scenario I always encounter. Besides, the forum is not suitable for large number of users and you could expect a load of posts in just one day.
Bad posts or good posts you could not expect to read it all with tons of it everyday.
Yet, you have also a good point OP but it would be embarassing on our part labeled as shitposter..LOL
