This forum consisting of learned and disciplined members

I would like to disagree with the thing where low rank members are ranking up, I have been posting for awhile and 10 merits is the only thing that I have accumulated, it may sound like I am whining but no, there are other quality posters out there buried in the second page of any quality thread and people do not care about it, most of the people that is getting a merit is either they know from the forum for a long time or either they have a convenient answer to a thread, the only merited thread that I respect is those that work on busting scams and forum abusers.

One of the best things implemented to our forum is the merits there are a lot of spammers today are now struggling to earn merit because we have the spam busters that take immediate action and report the thread and the account of the member too. Also, merit is one of the good things to filter out the good contents of the member the number of merits you have the number contribution.

If you are planning to stay into the lower rank go disregard the merit system but if you want to go into the higher rank you must need to make construction and helpful threads to earn merits

Yeah, I agree on all your points but this forum also has a lot of scammers pretending to be legit developers and sometimes we find this all too late, yet we are doing everything to get rid of these scammers, this is an independent forum and scams and questionable projects are not moderated everyone is given a chance to defend themselves, it's a fight between good and bad members.

Those things are avoidable but their are more people who easily trust since they think that once they see a good presentation on certain platform they can earn a good cash on it. There are so many like this in this forum so we need to be more careful since this is the bad side of the forum and we need to became more aware and knowledgeable by using this forum.

I think this is outside the concerns of OP,Because scammers only victimized  Noob and Greed that is the sad reality here
so counting them here is not appropriate because we are losing in scam as  our own mistakes.

Look about my perspective ,I have often ask seniors here before making  investment,once the coin get my attention?i make sure that  some  Good in investigation will take on it first before finally  putting money,in this way  at least i have  small chance of  being a  victim?


Like what OP says,It is the Merit system that make this  forum more cleaner,i wouldn't ask for  more  now because  our  Bitcointalk.org environment  is  now becoming  one of the cleanest forum in all crypto sites.

They can defend themselves for hiding their true colors but since this forum is transparent and there are active users who are willing to bust them then they will not succeed on launching fake projects. You can see a lot of projects on the scam section that are busted even before they can invade here.

Those things are avoidable but their are more people who easily trust since they think that once they see a good presentation on certain platform they can earn a good cash on it.

Maybe this people are the one who are really just here to earn money. Never ever considered visiting good boards to learn something. For good users, they will impossible to fall on such scams. Only those hunters who dont even research if a project launching is legit or scam.

Importance of the merits
Merits is a very good thing because it will makes this forum clean, making it full with quality threads, if the merit is not implemented, there will be more spammers and people that post uselessly will abuse the forum, I like the merit for this reason.

Yes! it really does, if you were here 2 years ago, you won't believe how this community has grown by implementing the merit system. From that day on, users with the willingness to learn are the ones who actually left until today. those who only came here just to earn some money which they though are easy to do. are long gone because they cannot stand the difficulty on how to earn single merit. As you can see today, Our forum has become less on spammers than before. thanks for the tireless effort of our mod and admin, for thinking new possible solutions to improve our community.

to OP:
Actually I think merit is a quantitative and not a qualitative tool. That is, a member here must earn a merit for being cultured and disciplined! is fine, but how do you measure that in the result of a post with a merit?.

The forum is social interaction between people who come to give their opinion, sometimes uninformed, sometimes very well informed, in some cases that information is ephemeral because they acquire it when giving an answer, that is, their post is the result of that learning.

But if you receive a merit it does not mean that you are already educated and if you do not receive it, it does not imply that you are not doing the "task" well, but in that process if you achieve something important "learning" in the bitcoin topic and the beginning to be useful (or disciplined) ) in the forum.

The decency of this forum is on like no other I know. These I attribute to the moderators though, my comments might seem in significant but then, the job been done is quite commendable as the lesson learnt from this forum doesn't only ends within the forum but also sets the individuals literally life style on the best path.
