I am sorry for the late response. Let me go back with all your questions.
newbies don't only seek merit from him but like a toddler on his mother's breast suck some tangible knowledge, it will help you after this merit giveaway is over.
True. I do it because I want to help the future of bitcointalk and also would prefer to bring some feelings of fairness to low rank users. It is the start of their adventure not the ends. I do hope that my 1 merit to each of them will keep them going forwards with better posts and contributions to the community.
Great, you have a good initiative to help other user by distributing sMerit on quality posts by reporting their post link on this thread. 1 sMerit for 1 user is the limit that you will distribute and that is the local rule in this thread. I just want to know why you are limiting your sMerit distribution to beginner, junior member, and member ?
As pointed out in OP, I was listed in the future of bitcointalk list, and I intend to help users who are in same period for now. It is same as campaigns, some restrict participants to Hero/ Legendary; some open their gates to at least Member rank. It is subjectively decision to run campaigns, contests.
Merit must not be limited to rank and it must be oriented to the quality of the post made.
It is true, mate.
If i may ask, was Lordhermes' thread rejected because the users email isn't hidden? Can't be, can it?
You have a reason for it in your post. Another reason from my side is the poem reflects too general message, that I don't like. Honestly, I surprised that the poem get too much merit. Anyway, congratulate him on what he received from the poem.
In merit giveaways threads, you'd have a better chance to get merited if you apply with an unmerited or under-merited post
Applicants should do this but it is not my local rule. They are free to apply with their best posts (max to 3 posts).
Oops, bad. Thanks anyway for the advise, I have already hidden my email as you instructed. Good luck on your merit giveaway program.
No problem. Glad to help.
Now, it is the part for applications. Let me go through it.
Ok. Good posters get merits from me. For users who did not receive 1 merit from me, try you luck next time in this thread or in other merit giveaways.
Have a nice weekend, I love you all.
