Application to be a Merit source for Bengali Thread

[Timelord2067]

Hope you are successful in the local boards - you might want to look in on this post of mine (and the proceeding page) - there's a handful of UID's that evidence would suggest are alts who have on their profile pages they are Bangladeshi and so might hit you up for more merits.

Just want to thanks all of those lovely and supportive users who help me to reach out the rank of "Full Member". I know, I'm only doing bounty post and not even making any quality poats. But it's the end of Bounty from myside and I'm going to focus on our local board to make that more informative as well as I'll be in global section .  Just only one thing,  Love you 3000

Bumping the thread to get attention from the admin theymos. Can we get an update as our local thread is in badly need of a merit source? The number of quality posts are increasing in significant number. With more merits there, I think we can get a spam free thread.

[Sparrow96]

I am supporting your application to be a Merit source. But you have bad sides too. You are too inactive in the forum. As one of the Legendary Member of Bangladeshi Community, we need you active in the community. But you are very hard to find. At the time of writing. I see you were active 12 November 2020 last. 2 weeks ago! I am continuously reporting previous low quality posts. But they hardly get deleted. I expect you will be active again leaving all obstacles.



Nowadays, Bangladeshi forum has quality posts. They deserve Merits. So, Bangladeshi Community needs a Merit Source badly. I wish your application will be successful.

[BitCoinDream]

Thank you everyone for supporting my merit source application. Whatever I got from this thread, most have been distributed on my local thread. Now, I am low on source merit again. Bangladesh local thread is also going down in terms of Merit shared on board.

Bumping. Sadly, we don't have someone to share merits there. It has been long time since OP applied for being merit source but no step is taken from the administrators. Can our local thread get a merit source? I think it’s needed immediately.

Looks to me as though BitCoinDream is/was a merit source, since he wrote this in his last post:

Now, I am low on source merit again.

His last activity date was only a few days ago, and the last post I can see made by him was from April (though I can't see posts in the Bangladesh section).  I don't know if he quit being a merit source or what, but he certainly hasn't sent any in the last 120 days.

Little Mouse, why don't you apply to be a source?  You've been around long enough and seem like you'd be enthusiastic about the position, so perhaps you should ask Theymos to consider it.

Looks to me as though BitCoinDream is/was a merit source, since he wrote this in his last post:

I think he is either messing up spendable (sendable) merits and source merits. Both are different. He is not a merit source as far as I know. And this also makes no difference since he is not much active.

Little Mouse, why don't you apply to be a source?  You've been around long enough and seem like you'd be enthusiastic about the position, so perhaps you should ask Theymos to consider it.

Having one merit source for the local thread we have is enough. BitcoinDream has already applied and that's why I didn’t consider to apply anymore.

Not accounting for merits awarded to post moved elsewhere or deleted.

The above nevertheless is uncontextualized, and the context should be always interpreted by local board inner knowledge (number of posts, post quality/interest, number of posters, number of sources/meriters, etc.).

No hate to anyone, but BitcoinDream is quite inactive and LittleMouse's engaging into others conversation regularly. So it'll better for our local board if BitcoinDream becomes more active to engage with us. On the other hand, maybe LittleMouse should talk to BitcoinDream if he wanna give the position for that application. As always, we really need a merit source for our local board.

No. I am/was NOT a merit source. By source merit, I meant sMerit. Probably sendable merit would have been a better term.

His last activity date was only a few days ago, and the last post I can see made by him was from April (though I can't see posts in the Bangladesh section).  I don't know if he quit being a merit source or what, but he certainly hasn't sent any in the last 120 days.

Below is my last post. It was in last week only. Not April.

London fork countdown timer এখানে চলছে - https://etherscan.io/block/countdown/12965000

হয়তো কোনো সমস্যাই হবে না, তা সত্ত্বেও বলছি, fork time এর অন্তত এক ঘন্টা আগে পরে Ethereum on chain transaction থেকে বিরত থাকাই বাঞ্চনীয়।

I do not post/login here frequently. Unlike many, I do not wear a paid signature either. But I actively monitor the Bangladesh thread. As soon as my sMerit went down, I reported here. I did not get any top up. So, I could not distribute any further.

Apart from this, there is another issue with Bangladesh thread. Most of the people I rewarded Merit, hoarded it and circulated within a closed circle. I dont know whether they know each other or Alt of a few. But, very little Merit comes back to me in Bangladesh thread. So, this prohibits re-circulation further.

Let's look at the data provided by LoyceV almost a year back. Despite contributing to the Bangladesh thread for 6+ years, I was not among the Top 12 Merit receiver in that thread. But, I was the top Merit sender along with 2 others. And this is before my application to become a Merit source.

Most-merited users:
11 Merit: Sr. Member Little Mouse (Trust: +1 / =0 / -0) (288 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
11 Merit: Member Review Master (Trust: neutral) (23 Merit earned) (BPIP)

10 Merit: Member Salauddin1994 (Trust: neutral) (14 Merit earned) (BPIP)
9 Merit: Member ZaraCB (Trust: neutral) (91 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
8 Merit: Member NNRR (Trust: neutral) (13 Merit earned) (BPIP)
5 Merit: Copper Member Sultanar484 (Trust: neutral) (10 Merit earned) (BPIP)

5 Merit: Member Bazlur (Trust: neutral) (12 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
5 Merit: Full Member Fatemablabla (Trust: neutral) (6 Merit earned) (BPIP)

5. Most merit sender

12 Merit: Sr. Member Little Mouse (Trust: +1 / =0 / -0) (288 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)

11 Merit: Hero Member Murat (Trust: +8 / =0 / -0) (150 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
11 Merit: Member DTalk (Trust: neutral) (45 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
8 Merit: Legendary LoyceV (Trust: +27 / =2 / -0) (5484 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)

5 Merit: Member Review Master (Trust: neutral) (23 Merit earned) (BPIP)
5 Merit: Hero Member fillippone (Trust: +8 / =1 / -0) (3441 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
5 Merit: Sr. Member Mungurul (Trust: +0 / =0 / -1) (4 Merit earned) (BPIP)

In any case, Bangladesh is still a thread. AFAIK, no other thread has got its dedicated Merit source (I may be wrong though) so far. So, I doubt whether my Merit Application will ever be accepted. A Local Board request for Bangladesh is pending for 3+ years.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

The above nevertheless is uncontextualized, and the context should be always interpreted by local board inner knowledge (number of posts, post quality/interest, number of posters, number of sources/meriters, etc.).

Thanks for that data, as always.  I'm wondering how many active members there are on the Bangladesh local board.  Anyone have any idea or at least a rough estimate?  If there aren't that many, then the board wouldn't need its own merit source.  But if there are, then it's clear that there aren't enough merits being spread around.  Those numbers are abysmal, but that's assuming that the section has a lot of active members and they're making good posts.

By source merit, I meant sMerit. Probably sendable merit would have been a better term.

Yes, it's a better term because it's the correct one.  Source merit refers to sMerits held by merit sources.

As soon as my sMerit went down, I reported here. I did not get any top up. So, I could not distribute any further.

You didn't get your sMerits topped up because you're not a merit source.  If non-merit source members could simply request that they get more sMerits, the whole system would be pointless.

According to https://ninjastic.space, 21 member were active in the last month (from July 9th till August 9th) and they wrote ~60 posts combined which is not a lot.

Bangladesh topic used to be quite active, but sometimes at the beginning of this year their numbers started going down. First time I included in my brief monthly overview of the local boards activity they had ~240 posts written, and for the last few months their average number is around ~50. It's a steep decline and not a good thing if they wanna get their own merit source or local board.

AFAIK, no other thread has got its dedicated Merit source (I may be wrong though) so far. So, I doubt whether my Merit Application will ever be accepted. A Local Board request for Bangladesh is pending for 3+ years.

Nigerian local thread does have merit source (CryptopreneurBrainboss) but he didn't become one by applying to be their merit source, but for Altcoin and Beginners and Help boards. I think your chances would be much better if you were more active on the forum, both in Bangladesh thread and in English part of the forum. I mean, in the last few years you wrote less than 100 posts, so no wonder that theymos is hesitant to give you a merit source status.

[Little Mouse]

But, very little Merit comes back to me in Bangladesh thread. So, this prohibits re-circulation further.

Let's look at the data provided by LoyceV almost a year back. Despite contributing to the Bangladesh thread for 6+ years, I was not among the Top 12 Merit receiver in that thread. But, I was the top Merit sender along with 2 others. And this is before my application to become a Merit source.

So, you are complaining against us, we the people who are active in the local thread in posting, sending merits? Not sure from which point of view you have said so. Let me share the post stats.
You have posted/contributed 23 times till June 21, 2020 from the creation of the thread.

    54. 23x (Legendary) BitCoinDream

After that, you have posted ~16 more times. So, with the previous records it's 39 in total. If you are not active how would you expect to get merit back?
And you are complaining people are spending their merits to close circle? Before saying so, you would have looked at the stats and find out how many people are active and how many of them posting quality post. In fact, the total circle is very close, limited to 21 members in the last month and very few of them post somewhat quality post which deserves merit. Then, how do you think the circle will not be close?
You don’t agree that you are not active, you always say that you are contributing to the thread. But it’s a shame for us that we have a Legendary member but have never shared a Legendary post/guideline/technical discussion. Well, you are not obliged to do so. You certainly have done a great job by creating the thread (I really respect you for that), other than the thread is YOURS, there's nothing else. Sorry, but that's the truth and I'm really sorry for saying the truth. You could be a great asset for the newbie but you have never been that guy.

@LoyceV, you can please share us an updated stats of total post by individual? I think my counts for BitcoinDream is wrong as I have done it manually.

No. Don't try to put up words in my mouth. All the people posting and learning about Crypto in Bangladesh thread are most welcome. I am nurturing them for 7+ years now and I will continue to do so. Problem is a few of you, who pop up every year to try to get control of the thread after a short stint of regular posting. I am just disgusted with you, who received Merit from me on multiple occasions in the Bangladesh thread itself, but never thought of returning the favor. It is not that no one returned the favor. Some did and that topped up my sMerit to get redistributed in the thread itself.

No, I do not need your Merit. In fact, I do not need Merit from any of you, unless you expect Merit from me without me being a Merit Source. But, the guy who received most Merit from you is now vouching for you to become a Merit source. Anyone surprised?

Not sure from which point of view you have said so. Let me share the post stats.
You have posted/contributed 23 times till June 21, 2020 from the creation of the thread.

You did not understand my point of view. Right? Ok, let's quote the data by LoyceV on June 21, 2020 again including your data to make things clear.

So you made 25 posts in Bangladesh thread, received 11 Merits and spent 12 Merits by June 21, 2020. I made 23 posts in Bangladesh thread, received nothing and spent 12 Merits by June 21, 2020.

So, me doing 23 posts makes me inactive. And you doing 25 posts makes you active. How so? I'll also provide some snapshots to the community regarding my quality of post in this post below.

Moreover, let me know, without being a Merit Source, why should I keep meriting a thread, which is a black hole to me? But, still I did. And some of the people returned the favor. Once LoyceV posts his latest data, you'll know.

And you are complaining people are spending their merits to close circle? Before saying so, you would have looked at the stats and find out how many people are active and how many of them posting quality post. In fact, the total circle is very close, limited to 21 members in the last month and very few of them post somewhat quality post which deserves merit. Then, how do you think the circle will not be close?

You are self-contradicting yourself with your previous post here. If you know that current posts are mostly low quality and does not deserve merit, why are you saying that Merit Source is needed immediately?

Bumping. Sadly, we don't have someone to share merits there. It has been long time since OP applied for being merit source but no step is taken from the administrators. Can our local thread get a merit source? I think it’s needed immediately.

I know, without an active merit source in place, the quality of posts in Bangladesh thread is gradually going down. That's obvious and that's the reason I did not bump this thread now. When I applied to be a Merit Source and even when I bumped this thread declaring that I am low on source merit, things were much better than what it is now.

You don’t agree that you are not active, you always say that you are contributing to the thread. But it’s a shame for us that we have a Legendary member but have never shared a Legendary post/guideline/technical discussion. Well, you are not obliged to do so. You certainly have done a great job by creating the thread (I really respect you for that), other than the thread is YOURS, there's nothing else. Sorry, but that's the truth and I'm really sorry for saying the truth. You could be a great asset for the newbie but you have never been that guy.

Thank you so much for raising this. Not sure why the other trolls, that tried to pull me down, did not ask this question!

A forum moderator, does not need to create content for the forum. They are supposed to manage how contents are organized. I not only created the Bangladesh thread, I also self-moderate it. A lot of garbage had to be cleaned up to bring it to what it is today. Those thankless jobs are done silently. But thanks to theymos, an indicator at the top of the thread keeps a track of that. So far, I had to clean up 1413 posts by 192 users so far. For the benefit of newbies, I have also collected set of posts by various users in Bangladesh thread in OP and I constantly look for new posts to add. This requires regular monitoring of the thread. As per June 2020 data, I am also one of the top Merit sender to this thread. Moreover, contrary to what you have said, I have made posts, that I felt to be helpful for the community. Below are some excerpt from just first two pages of my post history...

Interestingly, I am not the only Legendary member from Bangladesh. But, I am the only one, who has consistently maintained and moderated a thread for Bangladesh for 7+ years. I even went to other platforms to gather users here. Funny thing is that, after doing all these things selflessly, I get some 2018 samples like you, who feels like Hero immediately after turning Hero Member and thinks he can get away by slinging mud at anyone. Just to let you know, I'll keep building the Bengali Crypto Community with or without you within or outside of BitcoinTalk.

@LoyceV, you can please share us an updated stats of total post by individual? I think my counts for BitcoinDream is wrong as I have done it manually.

LoyceV, if you can provide data, please provide all the info that you provided last time, i.e.

1. List of users who have posted in Bangladesh thread. (Link of last data)

2. List of most merited users in Bangladesh thread. (Link of last data)

3. List of most merit senders in Bangladesh thread. (Link of last data)

I am just disgusted with you, who received Merit from me on multiple occasions in the Bangladesh thread itself, but never thought of returning the favor. It is not that no one returned the favor. Some did and that topped up my sMerit to get redistributed in the thread itself.

No, I do not need your Merit. In fact, I do not need Merit from any of you, unless you expect Merit from me without me being a Merit Source. But, the guy who received most Merit from you is now vouching for you to become a Merit source. Anyone surprised?

You really, I mean really need to grow up. I mean grow up by knowledge about how merit system works. It's not like favoring anyone, it's not like returning the favor. It’s for deserving post. Why would I throw away my smerit to a post which isn’t of high quality from my point of view?

So, me doing 23 posts makes me inactive. And you doing 25 posts makes you active.

It’s foolish to compare my stats with you. I have joined bitcointalk in 2018 and within 2 years I have posted 25 times while you within 6 years, did only 23 times.

Edit- and here you go with the updated stats-

    1. 177x (Hero Member) Little Mouse (481 Merit earned (history)) (BPIP) (deleted posts)
   
   15. 39x (Legendary) BitCoinDream (97 Merit earned (history)) (BPIP) (deleted posts)

I was asked to respond here.

maybe LittleMouse should talk to BitcoinDream if he wanna give the position for that application.

I've never seen a "Merit source status" being transfered at a user's request. Any somewhat established member can apply to be a Merit source.

Most of the people I rewarded Merit, hoarded it and circulated within a closed circle.

I'd say you shouldn't even check what they do with their sMerit. As long as you Merit posts that deserve it, you're doing good.

I dont know whether they know each other or Alt of a few.

They can decide on their own what to do with their sMerit.

But, very little Merit comes back to me in Bangladesh thread. So, this prohibits re-circulation further.

This shouldn't matter: you shouldn't Merit a post expecting to be Merited in return.

I am just disgusted with you, who received Merit from me on multiple occasions in the Bangladesh thread itself, but never thought of returning the favor.

I made a thread for this: [parody] Merit Backstabbers: who stabbed who in the back the most?. Note the word "parody": it shouldn't matter! I've Merited at least 1600 users who never Merited me. That's okay
You've sent 4 Merit to Little Mouse and didn't get anything in return. Don't worry about it, Merit is for good posts and it shouldn't matter who wrote it.

So you made 25 posts in Bangladesh thread, received 11 Merits and spent 12 Merits by June 21, 2020. I made 23 posts in Bangladesh thread, received nothing and spent 12 Merits by June 21, 2020.

This doesn't prove or disprove anything without reading the posts (which I can't). But given how long you've been around, chances are you made those posts before the Merit system even existed.
Feel free to posts some of your posts in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source, but the language makes it difficult for most Merit sources.

So, me doing 23 posts makes me inactive. And you doing 25 posts makes you active. How so?

@LoyceV, you can please share us an updated stats of total post by individual? I think my counts for BitcoinDream is wrong as I have done it manually.

I'll collect the data. Update: see this post (and next page).

LoyceV, if you can provide data, please provide all the info that you provided last time, i.e.

1. List of users who have posted in Bangladesh thread. (Link of last data)

2. List of most merited users in Bangladesh thread. (Link of last data)

3. List of most merit senders in Bangladesh thread. (Link of last data)

I'll see how far I get, this sounds like a lot of work.
Sorry, I didn't keep my script for this, and don't want to recreate what I did last time.

Problem is a few of you, who pop up every year to try to get control of the thread after a short stint of regular posting. I am just disgusted with you, who received Merit from me on multiple occasions in the Bangladesh thread itself, but never thought of returning the favor. It is not that no one returned the favor. Some did and that topped up my sMerit to get redistributed in the thread itself.

Am I understanding you correctly that you expect people to "pay back" the merit you sent to them in the Bangladesh local board?  If that's the case, there's no way in hell you should be a merit source.  In fact, that's akin to wanting a kickback--and that's shady behavior in itself, regardless of whether you're a source or not.

Members in your local section should be circulating their merits, yes, but that doesn't mean they should be favoring any members who sent them merits. 

From looking at the data Rikafip presented, it would appear that the Bangladesh section isn't very active at all and probably doesn't need a dedicated merit source (unless it was a member with a relatively low allocation of sMerits).  I'm sure some of the members cross post in the English section and earn merits there, which can then be used to reward members in the Bangladesh board.  That's what's probably going to have to happen, as I doubt Theymos is going to tap anyone as a merit source specifically for that section--unless it was a member like Little Mouse, who'd make a good source in general IMO.

No, I do not need your Merit. In fact, I do not need Merit from any of you, unless you expect Merit from me without me being a Merit Source.

Source or not, you should no give merits in the expectation that the person would return the favour. No one expects merits from anyone in particular, you just merit what you find worthy of merits.
I support that this behavior is unfit for a forum user, much less for a merit source.

WoW! Congratulations @Little Mouse for successfully creating chaos & confusion regarding my Merit Source Application.



I am well aware of the fact that Merit should go to deserving posts with expectation of no return. It is a Reward System and NOT a Medium of Exchange. But, the problem here is, because I am the thread creator, I am being dragged into the scene and held responsible for dearth of Merit at Bangladesh thread.

I think he is either messing up spendable (sendable) merits and source merits. Both are different. He is not a merit source as far as I know. And this also makes no difference since he is not much active.

I am being accused of not being active, as if, it is my duty to actively post across the board and earn merit to give it to Bangladesh thread. As per my understanding, my posting regularity should not be a matter of consideration here. As long as I had sMerit earned from my usual activity, I regularly gave it to the deserving posts in Bangladesh thread and when I was low on it, I reported here. So, to respond to the allegation quoted above, I made the following statement...

I am just disgusted with you, who received Merit from me on multiple occasions in the Bangladesh thread itself, but never thought of returning the favor. It is not that no one returned the favor. Some did and that topped up my sMerit to get redistributed in the thread itself.

No, I do not need your Merit. In fact, I do not need Merit from any of you, unless you expect Merit from me without me being a Merit Source. But, the guy who received most Merit from you is now vouching for you to become a Merit source. Anyone surprised?

This in no way means that I expect Merit back, when I am giving it away. But, if someone accuses me for dearth of Merit at Bangladesh thread, then he/she is also responsible for the supply of Merit to me.

Moreover, the time frame of posts in Bangladesh thread should actually be counted from 2019. Before that the thread was a shit fest of account farmers. Important posts got regularly buried under shit posts. After introduction of Merit system to uplift Forum Rank, these spam attack somewhat came down. Then cleaning up the garbage became feasible, which led to the removal of 1413 posts by 192 users so far including some recent ones. One may get a view of how things were in earlier days from the initial responses in my Local Board request for Bangladesh.



@LoyceV, @The Pharmacist, @Upgrade00 I tried to put forward my rationale above. Please check it and share your opinion.



Note to theymos: As it appears that at least 3 trusted members of the community doubts my understanding of Merit system, I would request you NOT to consider my Merit Source Application till they are sanguine about my understanding.
