Would have Merited this but, you know....

Good thread sir, add me to "please theymos more merit" list, I've spent merits a week ago or something.

At the moment I'm only merit source in Croatian section of the forum and have only 25 sMerits available to give monthly.

I believe I have told you at least 5 times that you are not the only merit source in our section

Excuse me, my mistake. Since you are rarely on our local part of the forum, as well as Lauda, ​​it is easy to forget that you are also a merit source who understands Croatian.

I am more often than you think, I just don't spam the same things over and over again But let's keep that for our local board, shell we?

If you will keep that to our local board, no problem 

[malevolent]

I also frequently run out of merits so you can add me to the list if you want to. It wasn't a problem until around March-April of this year, I wasn't as active for the first year or so since the introduction of the merit system.

Did everybody get a PM from theymos today?

[LoyceV]

Did everybody get a PM from theymos today?

I assume all Merit sources received the PM.

Merit sources:

There are 90 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 18821 sMerit per 30 days

I won't disclose the PM, but I can say I now have to double the amount I send per post:

As for myself: I don't feel like I need a larger source amount, but I wouldn't mind having to give more either. I try to keep my source amount as close to zero as possible, and I still have quite a decent amount of "my own" sMerits left. But it's less than 10% of the amount of sMerit I've sent in total. If my source would double, that would effectively mean I'll have to double the amount I send per post. If that's something theymos is interested in considering the posts I've Merited, I'd welcome an increase.

[suchmoon]

I won't disclose the PM, but I can say I now have to double the amount I send per post:

I'm torn about this. If I start sending 7 a pop then I'm gonna have to make it 12 when the next "automatic" adjustment happens. Should I not send as much?

Edit: actually the total source allocation target seems to be ~20k so maybe there won't be another adjustment like that as long as everyone plays nice and EMPTIES THEIR FRIGGING SAUCE MERITS EVERY MONTH  

[LoyceV]

I'm torn about this. If I start sending 7 a pop then I'm gonna have to make it 12 when the next "automatic" adjustment happens. Should I not send as much?

There's this:

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.

Theymos wants you to empty your source, and if you can't (LOL) find like 2000 good posts per month, you're going to have to send more per post

If the inactive sources were removed, and the active sources received an increase, that means we can expect an increase in sent Merit from now on. I think that's a good thing, and thanks theymos for listening to iasenko

Looks like there are less merit sources and generated sMerit now

The forum doesn't need inactive sources.

[philipma1957]

Did everybody get a PM from theymos today?

Yeah and since I have deliberatively not given a merit since October 18th  in and effort to fully understand my merit source size.  I lowered my average by quite a bit.

Worse yet I won't learn what my merit source size is since it just was adjusted.

As you can see not a single merit sent since Oct 18th

Sent in the last 120 days

My new merit info says this:

You are a merit source. The next 136 merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days. Unused source merit is wasted. It is not allowed for merit sources to sell their merit.


So I will be passing some out asap.

[LoyceV]

Worse yet I won't learn what my merit source size is since it just was adjusted.

When your source is adjusted, it gets reset to the full amount. So whatever you have now is your total monthly source amount.

That also means anything you use now won't be replenished for 30 days, so it's wise to "evenly spread out" your source in the coming days. After that, you'll receive regular replenishments.

[suchmoon]

The forum doesn't need inactive sources.

I hope he appoints some new ones. There are quite a few worthy pending applications and you know those users will be active senders, at least for a while.

[Deathwing]

The forum doesn't need inactive sources.

I hope he appoints some new ones. There are quite a few worthy pending applications and you know those users will be active senders, at least for a while.

In my opinion, merit sources shouldn't really be chosen by looking at applications. Stats usually speak for themselves.

No one check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources ?

There are 90 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 18821 sMerit per 30 days

Looks like there are less merit sources and generated sMerit now

If that 90 merit sources are going to do enough work and spend those sMerits regularly, that's probably better than having 150 in total with a lot of sMerit leftover. To be honest, probably better this way.

[OgNasty]

So I will be passing some out asap.

Let the merit rain.

[TheBeardedBaby]

As I read here, you guys got an increase of the source merit, is that correct? Shall I lock this topic then if the problem is resolved?

Thank you theymos.

Yep.

[Vispilio]

As I read here, you guys got an increase of the source merit, is that correct? Shall I lock this topic then if the problem is resolved?

Edited:fixed some typos

yes, it was a much needed general adjustment concerning most merit sources.

Without disclosing the pm, most sources got either an increase or decrease depending on their past merit activity...

[theymos]

When your source is adjusted, it gets reset to the full amount. So whatever you have now is your total monthly source amount.

Right, I should've mentioned that in the PM. After you received my PM but before you sent any merit, the source amount displayed was your total allocation.
