A Request For The Other Merit Sources

[JSRAW]

Do you have time to visit Gambling discussion board? There are some members who deserves merit but they do not get attention from merit sources I think.

I have that board blocked, but it wasn't always like that--I'm just not a gambler, but I used to read some of the threads in that section and I know there are some decent posts being made.

If anyone wants to PM me with links to posts they think are merit-worthy, please feel free to do so because I have plenty of sMerits to give but not enough time or patience to go searching for the gems.  I've made this offer before (multiple times), but I barely get any response.  I don't consider it begging if you link to a post, because I may or may not merit it and you're not asking for merits for nothing.

May I Pm you my posts? I am active in "Cricket related threads". they are not Gems tbh but surely are my best effort in cricketing thread,

There's a reason we all were given 50 merits to start with, you have to prove you're capable of managing the little you have for more to be given.

I don't know the proportional allocation of Sendable merits for each newest merit source, but I guess each new merit source has different sMerits allocated per month. That likely depends on quality and trust of each new source (on the head admin's perspective). 30 sMerits or 50 sMerits for each source, that depends. If you all said the truth, cabalism13 received 30 sMerits per month, and you received 50 sMerits per month.

Are you still interested on hearing about our economy and others things that can also relaye to bitcoin and other crypto?

Yes. I've become a bit disenchanted with politics here. Topics seem to be restricted to street level discussins, and my puppet master posts seem to be deleted. I'm interested in world politics and the current changes, and I'm becoming active in a few projects. I' looking into starting a wildlife trust for example. So topics about the environmental problems you are having would also be good. I'm not sure where to post them though - maybe serious discussion or off topic would be suitable.

I am also frequently out of both source merits and my own merits, so I'm not sure I can give you much help here. What I would say, however, is this:

If someone links me to a good post in a language I don't speak, I'm more than happy to run it through Google translate or similar and work my way through the (usually quite poor) machine translation to get the general feel of the post and award it some merit if it deserves it. However, translating entire threads and reading spam comments which have been made even worse by being machine translated is both time-consuming and headache-inducing. My time is usually better spent searching for good newbie posts in the English boards. I would suggest creating a thread to list good Filipino posts which sources (or other users) could refer to.

No doubt the 50 smerits isn't enough that's why I developed a strategy myself after finishing my source merits in less than 3 weeks after I was appointed a source too. That you're made a source to you local board doesn't mean you should go around meriting every post you see, set a daily limit and also set some high standards. There's a reason we all were given 50 merits to start with, you have to prove you're capable of managing the little you have for more to be given. Also try to earn more individual merits and make use of them wisely.

It's too soon to complain, you might be sending the wrong message, learn to manage the little you have if not you might misuse the large allocations when it do come.

I can't hardly disagree to this fact. And yeah, I also thought a way on how should I preserve it for a month. So I might soon disregard finding JUST GOOD posts and proceed to the better one.


Edit:

If you all said the truth, cabalism13 received 30 sMerits per month, and you received 50 sMerits per month.

No, he also received 50 smerits via source allocation and it only changes after you have showed some management quality. I'm sure there are some old sources still on the two figure allocations. Don't expect theymos to hand over hundreds of smerits to newly appointed source as they have to prove they can manage it properly by managing the lower amounts first. If you're a christian you can relate to the story of a king giving different servant different talent based on their ability and those who prove they can manage their talents got more.

Though I also thought about this, if theymos has really find us managing our 50sMerits  well, then he could have also not give us a chance to have a large pouch,  for he might think that 50 sMerits is already enough for us, for we don't find good posts.

Whatever he may think, I will just try to hoard it until I have a large amount of sMerits to give and will just have rely on other Sources who does have a huge amount of sMerits.
In fact, I already have a list for me to keep track on good posts. I'll just disregard GOOD POSTS for now, and if granted upon request, I will come back to my lists. So I humbly request for the other's help.

I would suggest creating a thread to list good Filipino posts which sources (or other users) could refer to.

FULL LIST OF UNMERITED/UNDERMERITED POSTS (PILIPINAS)

I'm still on my way reviewing posts within the first 10 pages of my board. So I haven't updated the list yet, but any moment of this day(Wednesday) I will have it updated.

I guess you are talking about local section so most of the other merit sources can't help you if they don't understand your language.

It's possible, A merit source from other section already spent merits to our local board even he/she don't understand our language. Using google translate is the key for him/her to give us another hope and opportunity to make a move again. Well, there are some points that merits is not the priority but it acts as a thing to motivate you to work hard and grind more, it will serve as your achievements too.

So it is better to propose theymos for higher smerits per month so you can use them for meriting all the worthy posts.

It's normal to have small sMerits in the first month, your sMerits is directly proportional to your number of months of being an active merit source. So I think waiting is the right thing to do than requesting to load you a huge amount of sMerits.

I am out of sMerit most of the times these days hence I struggle to merit the good posts in the Gambling discussion board.

[o_e_l_e_o]

your sMerits is directly proportional to your number of months of being an active merit source.

That's not accurate. You are correct to say new merit sources have a small allocation of sMerit, but it does not increase automatically. I have been a source for a number of months now, and my allocation hasn't changed. There are many other sources in the same boat as me. theymos manually adjusts the merit allocation as required, and some sources can see a sudden increase or decrease in the amount of sMerit they are given to spend, depending on if they are using it all and if he decides more or less merit is needed in circulation.

I kinda agree with what you've said here, it's all about managing your source smerits.
For the record, I've mentioned this earlier, I only have 10 smerits per month from my source and in the end I do actually manage just fine.

Now, I personally don't really hold posts to a higher standard because of the low amount of source smerits that I receive. When I see a post that I like, I give it some merit, simple as that. 
When my merit is gone, it's gone. If I see a great post when I don't have any left, I bookmark it (as mentioned before in this thread).

No need to create some additional ivory tower in my opinion, I also want the regular non-spamming members to get a chance.

This is a bit silly, but my 50 sMerits isn't enough to award posts wothin 30 days. Even if I only award posts by 1 Merit each, there are already countless of users that deserves to be rewarded by Merits.

So I'm requesting for help to other Sources to give us a hand until we have enough Merits to circulate across our board. I can assure you that the posts will be enough worthy for your unspent sMerits.

I know that some of you are just fond of hoarding it, but still I'm giving my biggest thanks for giving us your help. Recently, another Source has given my Board 300 sMerits so far. And that's a hell of a number. And thanks to that the Board is much lively again. I am thinking that with the help of the other Sources we can achieve what we aim for our Board. And then the only thing will be left is the cleaning of garbage post from back then.

I will gladly accept all of your suggestions, feedbacks and other replies  regarding this request. TIA.

@theymos just sent you a PM, I hope you will be able to see it sooner or later.

Well, if 50 sMerits are not enough for you, what I can say?
I have only 25 sMerits available for 30 days
That's why I'm also forced to choose posts and I can not reward every post that deserves merit, not just in my local section but in the whole forum.
Previous merit source from Croatian section had 100 smerits available every month.
I send pm to theymos about it but didn't receive answer.
So, I have no choice but to skip many good quality posts on this forum which deserves merit.

[finaleshot2016]

your sMerits is directly proportional to your number of months of being an active merit source.

Really? Then it's a bit of luck if you have a bigger amount of sMerits than the past. So the increase of sMerits depends on the action for being a merit source, I see. Thanks. I thought it's normal to have a small sMerits then increasing when time passed by. In this case, if our source really wants to be allocated a huge amount of sMerits and give more to our local, he/she should spend it to quality posts in the local.

I have only 25 sMerits available for 30 days

 
Can I ask how many source do you have in your board?

I'm the only one:)
Before we had another merit source with 100 sMerits available but he is banned now.

That's quite awful, if you want I can spare some Merits(from my own stash not from my Source) for your board, just give the links to it.
And it really such a waste after being a source, I guess that user was banned because from a mistakes a long time ago? Or not?

Too sad, a big responsibility has been passed to you but I know you can do it! Make your local lively.

Already give a few merits to your local board, I hope this helps. Google translate is the key.

I'm not the source but thank you for the boost! Our local board is staying lively because of those who always trying to help us. Hoping for the best and those quality threads should receive what they deserve.

I hope you visit our local too and shower them motivation.

Thank you for the offer but please save your merits since you are not merit source.
Yes,  our first merit source is banned because of mistakes a long time ago. You can read about it here in Meta,  topic about Regulushr case.

Thank you for your kind words and Merits you gave.
I'm doing my best in order to support my local Croatian community and I reward good quality posts with merits always  (if I have enough ).

He is a merit source from our local board.

No problem. It's a pleasure to help because we have a lot of sources helped our board, just wanted to give others too.

Well when I said high standard I didn't mean like that of the moderation of the mining board . And sure as sources we have to loosen up sometimes but I don't agree with you on the like a post before you merit aspect as doing so won't just be fair to the system.

I read through lot of spam daily as I'll be basing most of my June allocation (when I do recieve) in the alternative subsection because that was my board of attention when applying to be a source that's why I have set a little bit of high standard in order to avoid meriting the wrong set of posters although I have exausted my earlier source allocation too due to lack of proper management that's why I'm emphasizing on proper management so our source smerits can see us through the month and as newly appointed merit sources we should also try to earn individual merits to get some earned smerits for support.
