[CHARTS] Monthly Overview Of Nigeria Local Board📈 Monthly Merit Reward

[SatoPrincess]

This is interesting. Just to clarify, are you a local board merit source or a merit source for the general board.

I am both, but we Nigerians should see beyond local boards. Nigerians are still Nigerians.

I was not told to be a merit source of any board. I can send to any post on any board I see quality posts.

Oh chim. So that is how it works, thanks for clarifying that.

What igebotz posted make good sense, he is receiving slightly more than 10 times smerits that we are receiving, I think around 500 to 600 smerits monthly. Compare that to other moderators. We all do not see what he is receiving.

How did you know how about Igebotz merit allocation? If not for this thread, I didn’t even know what you nor the other merit sources were receiving. It’s no problem to me as long as the merits are being circulated in the local board.
Obviously I’m legendary rank, and don’t need merits to rank up but I remember how this board was when I was a newbie. The forum was tougher then, local board was smaller and there was decent merit circulation. Nowadays I’d argue merit backscratching culture have taken over the board, that’s why you hear sorts of accusations about the board belittling the efforts of good posters. That’s a topic for another day.

How did you know how about Igebotz merit allocation? If not for this thread, I didn’t even know what you nor the other merit sources were receiving. It’s no problem to me as long as the merits are being circulated in the local board.

I do not know it, I am only guessing it from the total merit he is sending and receiving. That is the reason I also included that I can be wrong. So my guess may not be accurate.

This is interesting. Just to clarify, are you a local board merit source or a merit source for the general board.

I am both, but we Nigerians should see beyond local boards. Nigerians are still Nigerians.

I was not told to be a merit source of any board. I can send to any post on any board I see quality posts.

I have been reading through this thread for a while now, and frankly speaking I am little bit disappointed. Because, How can we have five merit source from Nigeria local board, yet merit distribution is very low in our local board. Or is it that, you guys can't learn from other merit sources from other local boards?

Go to Bangladesh board, Philippine board, Arabic board, etc and see how merit sources who are from those local boards are distributing merit over there.  For them, there is nothing like, I was not told to be a merit source for a specific board.  merit sources from other boards always distribute good number of merit in their local boards even if they were not assign or told  to be a local board merit source, but general merit source.

Frankly speaking I don't know the point you are trying to prove or point out here @Charles- Tim. Because it is already cleare that, you guys who are merit sources from our local board are not distributing good number of merit in our local board. Now here is the question, who will distribute merit for you guys In your own local board, since you guys except @igebotz is claiming that they weren't told or signed to be a local board merit source? Or are guys expecting merit source from other local boards to come and distribute merit in your own local board? Make ona try wake up life no be so. Nigeria as a country is always bless with opportunities, but the blessing dey always mis road.

[SuperBitMan]

[If you can be honest to yourself, the main reason you were given a merit source in this forum was for Nigeria local board and not any General board, sending out only 19 merit for good 2 months to the Nigeria local board is very poor and you should not try to justify yourself,

Try and understand my post better, I do not have to explain myself again and again. If you do not understand, you just have to forget about it. We are not in basic classes on this forum.

I read all your argument and the point you are making is that you were not given a merit source Only in the Nigeria local board, so even if you are made merit source in the Nigeria local board and the general board, you decide to give 90 percent of your Smerit to the general board, because obviously that is what you are doing, what happens if you even do it 50/50, and tomorrow you will complain about Nigeria bad government.
The forum management will be counting you guys as Nigeria merit source, to them we have 5 merit source. And I’m sure they will never give any Nigeria that apply for merit source under our local board or other board anymore because they believe we have enough, meanwhile we have nothing.
It is well. Maybe we will plead with theymos to give us real local board merit source.

[igebotz]

Nigeria as a country is always bless with opportunities, but the blessing dey always mis road.

Was this part necessary? This got me laughing out loud in the middle of the night   you're not far from the truth, but we'd get there.

The forum management will be counting you guys as Nigeria merit source, to them we have 5 merit source. And I’m sure they will never give any Nigeria that apply for merit source under our local board or other board anymore because they believe we have enough, meanwhile we have nothing.

We don't stand a chance, he has given us enough. 5 Nigerians are merit source, some local don't even have up to 3. Going for more is nothing but greed. theymos knows where he assigned everyone, if you're not doing what you signed up for, you're never getting top up. I'm expecting my 3rd top up soon cause I'm doing exactly what I signed up for.

My problem is; don't use the community to climb if you're not ready to serve them.

Btw the board is doing great statistically than other boards and the other sources are doing okay too. I noticed they're struggling to manage their source because of how they're using it. They're trying to manage it by over spreading it and that's killing it.

[Charles-Tim]

@Joy- maker and SuperBitMan
I think SatoPrincess has understood me, read my replies from where we started the discussion and not post like you are jumping into the discussion.

For them, there is nothing like, I was not told to be a merit source for a specific board.  merit sources from other boards always distribute good number of merit in their local boards even if they were not assign or told  to be a local board merit source, but general merit source.

Is this illiteracy? SatoPrincess asked me a question, I answered her but you turn it into something else. I know you on this board as a trouble establisher.

I read all your argument and the point you are making is that you were not given a merit source Only in the Nigeria local board, so even if you are made merit source in the Nigeria local board and the general board, you decide to give 90 percent of your Smerit to the general board, because obviously that is what you are doing, what happens if you even do it 50/50, and tomorrow you will complain about Nigeria bad government.

Maybe you can request someone to teach you what this means:

we Nigerians should see beyond local boards. Nigerians are still Nigerians.

The forum management will be counting you guys as Nigeria merit source, to them we have 5 merit source. And I’m sure they will never give any Nigeria that apply for merit source under our local board or other board anymore because they believe we have enough, meanwhile we have nothing.

Just only you received 10 merits in January to now from Nigerian merit sources, maybe you need 100.

Joy- maker still received 3 merits from me in the last 120 days, but SuperBitMan did not received merit than once from me which can make him to be frustrated about me, but we have 5 merit sources and he received merits from three of them, but he posted that bolded part that this local board is like we have no merit source.

I am tired of this illiteracy discussion from Joy- maker and SuperBitMan. They will not even know they reversed the discussion back to what we have discussed about earlier.

Yeah I know we won’t get any more merit source even if we pleased with theymos for more, I’m just being Bluffing to see if I can get Charles-Tim to understand that his duty and role is meant for the local board.

Sure they will surely increase your Smerit because you are using it very well, and this is what I was trying to let them understand that, the forum management are watching them and if they do there duty they may actually increase their Smerit.
They thought theymos is not watching and reading some complains, if they continue this way they may end up losing being a merit source, but we don’t pray for that.

From your point about the over spreading of merit in the other local boards and how that is killing it, well the reason is because they are meriting shit posts that’s why, I visit those other local boards sometimes and shit posts are being merited by there source which is not suppose to be so, if you spread out merit to quality posts it will make everything grow stronger.

The forum management will be counting you guys as Nigeria merit source, to them we have 5 merit source. And I’m sure they will never give any Nigeria that apply for merit source under our local board or other board anymore because they believe we have enough, meanwhile we have nothing.

I will not answer you again on this matter since you feel you are more smart, I have made my point and I believe you understand what I’m saying very well, and I’m not asking you to merit me and yes I receive from other local board merit source and even from our merit source here, I want you to give merit to other people in the Nigeria local board, that’s your duty as a merit source all you have to do is to do it and stop complaining of small allocation, you are not a Nigeria politician except you are telling me you are one now.

[Joy- maker]

@Joy- maker and SuperBitMan
I think SatoPrincess has understood me, read my replies from where we started the discussion and not post like you are jumping into the discussion.

I read all your replies from the beginning, including other people's own.

For them, there is nothing like, I was not told to be a merit source for a specific board.  merit sources from other boards always distribute good number of merit in their local boards even if they were not assign or told  to be a local board merit source, but general merit source.

Is this illiteracy? SatoPrincess asked me a question, I answered her but you turn it into something else. I know you on this board as a trouble establisher.

No, It is about interpretation not illiteracy. and yes SatoPrincess asked you a question and you answered her. And i gave your answer my own interpretation. So why are you now offended?  Further more, I am not known in this local board as a trouble Maker, as you claim. I only put people in their place if necessary, nothing more. So calling me  a trouble maker so something I find inappropriate.

I read all your argument and the point you are making is that you were not given a merit source Only in the Nigeria local board, so even if you are made merit source in the Nigeria local board and the general board, you decide to give 90 percent of your Smerit to the general board, because obviously that is what you are doing, what happens if you even do it 50/50, and tomorrow you will complain about Nigeria bad government.

Maybe you can request someone to teach you what this means:

I never said this, so please check it, and quote correctly.

Just only you received 10 merits in January to now from Nigerian merit sources, maybe you need 100.

Joy- maker still received 3 merits from me in the last 120 days, but SuperBitMan did not received merit than once from me which can make him to be frustrated about me, but we have 5 merit sources and he received merits from three of them, but he posted that bolded part that this local board is like we have no merit source.

I am tired of this illiteracy discussion from Joy- maker and SuperBitMan. They will not even know they reversed the discussion back to what we have discussed about earlier.

@Charles- Tim nobody is having any illiteracy discussion here, It's just that the things I said don't really sit well with you.  And  I never said you don't distributing merit in the local. I only said that merit distribution in the local board is very low, while we have five merit sources from our local board.  And I never said, I had not received merit from you. You guys who are merit sources from our local board are really trying, when it comes to sharing merits to good Posts in the local board, But we need more effort from you guys. I know it is not easy to navigate the local board and distribute merit to good posts, but you guys should try. Or is it too much to ask?

[Btcdeybodi]

Also I applied for both general board and local board, not just local board.

General board
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg57945007#msg57945007

Local board
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5360200.msg62595307#msg62595307

Charles-Tim, you are too big for these things you are doing. If i were you, i would rather not reply to every quote.

YES, you applied for the general board merit source since 2021 but was your application approved? NO

Was it not when you applied to become the local board merit source that theymos approved your application?

Have you ever reasoned why Smartgold and Mia Chloe's merit source applications were approved immediately after they applied? isn't it because they applied to be a local source even though Mia Chloe is claiming that he was accepted as a technical board merit source and the local board source. Do you know the numbers of merit sources in the technical board? if i'm not mistaken, the technical board has the highest numbers of merit sources in the forum so do you think that there was any need for theymos to approve more sources allocated to the technical board? let us deliberate this issue in a matured way and not behave like our politicians who makes a lot of promises during campaign but when they are elected into public offices they turn back on those who supported them.

You are a good poster and a reputable member @Charles-Tim and i respect you for that but do not forget that charity begins at home. One day you might still need help from the local board so consider a scenario whereby you need the help of local board members in the future and they turn back at you, hope you will be able to contain the disappointment.

[Charles-Tim]

I will not answer you again on this matter since you feel you are more smart

I can see how you are proving you are not smarter for posting this after you received merits from merits source that are Nigerias I repeat:

The forum management will be counting you guys as Nigeria merit source, to them we have 5 merit source. And I’m sure they will never give any Nigeria that apply for merit source under our local board or other board anymore because they believe we have enough, meanwhile we have nothing.

YES, you applied for the general board merit source since 2021 but was your application approved? NO

Was it not when you applied to become the local board merit source that theymos approved your application?

I applied for local board merit source in 2023, I was taking in 2025 which was exactly 2 years after. Since I applied for merit source in 2021, Theymos did not select any merit sources until 2025 and he selected me. Theymos did not choose merit sources since 2021 except igebotz in 2024. I applied for local board merit source in 2023.

You are a good poster and a reputable member @Charles-Tim and i respect you for that but do not forget that charity begins at home.

Check my merit history, I either send 1 or 2 merits, I posted that the 2 merits went to 99% Nigerians yet there are many 1 merits I sent them also. That was the reason I posted that Nigerians go beyond local board, but they did not understand.

[Nathrixxx]

Now I don't need to quote anyone here or direct the talk to anyone either. Still, we are all affected and most concerned in the challenge here and don't think the merits sources alone, I will be talking from the entire perspective of both the sources and the local board members, so if this hit you, don't take it personal, instead only adjust and let's move on, because we are all human and to err is human.

It is a wrong mentality that every member should think only merit sources should be responsible for merit distribution to other members, the forum quite alright allocate a particular amount to them to distribute, but we all know that not everyone posting deserve to be merited and is not a right or a must to be given, the judgment on whom to give or not depends on their final decision and without being questioned by anyone.

Individually, are we not also being stingy to ourselves in giving merits, how many were able to give merits to other fellow members, are we saying that only married sources should be responsible for marriage distribution, even the little we are earning from them can also be given to them I've seen some of these merit sources also lacking merits because members are not giving them even though they are doing much to give to others.

While this goes to our merit sources, I can't deny the fact that you people have been doing well because why I'm saying this is not showcase myself or aplaud you wrongly, but come to think of it how the local board was previous year, two years ago, 3 years ago and so on like that, from the statistics you can see how the local board has been increasing in numbers, which means the more we are having new members to the board, the higher the responsibilities for this merit sources to be distributing merit, because the local board wasn't the same way it was some years back.

At least I expect that all members should first be grateful to their relentless efforts in meriting users that are qualified for meriting with quality post and not to always complain, because complaining cannot solve the problem, else it leads to a rebellious attitude and such could be instigating against one another, I know of some people that if the way to be sources, their own will be more worst than we ever experience.

If you think you need more, appreciate the little you are getting so that you can concentrate more on quality posts and less on consistent mutiny.

[Mia Chloe]

Even if this entire board has 50 merit sources you guys will still complain because what you really want is different from merit flow. I looked up the stats and no single Nigerian on the entire board apart from igebotz send me merit the way I send out to people on the same lb complaining I'm not sending merit and funnily I barely send him merits too. Now regardless of the fact I'm a merit source, I spend more than my entire allocation on this board alone owing to my earned smerits.

I'm still thinking what you all want from me? I'm not earning merit form local members but I still end up sending merit to local members so I don't know what the topic has to relate with me. For experimental purposes if you all want I can stay away from meriting lb posts for a while and see how everything goes. Majority of you complaining have. Buck load of smerits you haven't even touched.

Yet me who ought to be a source with more to send out doesn't even have a single one left to send out for now both on my earned source and monthly allocation.

Theymos have made it clear that merit sources can spend their merit as they want using their own judgement. You are already doing well so don't be bothered by criticism which must come irrespective of how good you are in anything. Just use the various complaints as motivation to do more and not something to discourage you. In public service,  it is always like they, people will always complain nomatter what you do.

[SatoPrincess]

~snip~

I don’t see why you should be offended by my questions.  I started this discussion because of the merit stats, and in the beginning I said this:

Yes, among the new local merit sources, Mia Chloe does seem to spend the most merits, not sure if her allocation is more (which I doubt) or she spends the smerits she earns on the local board. I say this because from the 2025 stats, she sent over 1000 merits while yourself and SmartGold sent about 250-340 merits.

Charles-Tim and SmartGold have already explained why their sent merits is low compared to yours and Igebotz.

[Itz-prisigold]

I have been reading through this thread for a while now, and frankly speaking I am little bit disappointed. Because, How can we have five merit source from Nigeria local board, yet merit distribution is very low in our local board. Or is it that, you guys can't learn from other merit sources from other local boards?

Because it is already cleare that, you guys who are merit sources from our local board are not distributing good number of merit in our local board. Now here is the question, who will distribute merit for you guys In your own local board, since you guys except @igebotz is claiming that they weren't told or signed to be a local board merit source? Or are guys expecting merit source from other local boards to come and distribute merit in your own local board? Make ona try wake up life no be so. Nigeria as a country is always bless with opportunities, but the blessing dey always mis road.

I think there's some real frustration driving this comment and I think it is motivated by a genuine desire to help grow the Nigeria local board as strong as possible.

That being said, I will still say that we should be careful not to turn the discussion into a comparison contest with other local boards just like you mentioned here on your comment. Each board has a unique culture and posting style and each has its own history. What works well in one board does not necessarily work well in another

Merit sources do have discretion when it comes to an exact posting location, and there is a reason for that, so they can reward quality wherever they genuinely see it. However, it is also fair for members to expect a local merit source to support their own community, most especially when they applied from that board.

Therefore, I think we should just shift our discussion from "who is right/wrong" to "how can we create a better balanced ." And rather than trying to blame our merit sources, we should be thinking on how we can promote more quality posts in the local board which will naturally attract more merit opportunities.

Ultimately, merit follows quality. If we focus on improving the quality of posts coming from this board, then the distribution of Merit will follow.

[Joy- maker]

~snip~

@Mia Chloe, you don't have feel offended whenever people are dragging you, or speaking negatively about you on the ocal board. Because you are probably one the of leaders on the local board. And as one of the leaders on the local board, you have to be open to criticism, why because, members of the of Nigeria local board will always criticize you, no matter what what you do, be it good or bad.

Let's take @igebotz, for instance. no matter what he does on the local board, people always criticize him, but he does not feel offended because, he understands what leadership is. So I will urge each and everyone of you to follow his footsteps, and open yourselves to criticism. Further more, saying that you will stop sharing merit on the local board for a while, is something I found inappropriate, remember you are a leader here. So if you don't distribute merit on the local board, who will distribute it? You guys should stop this, I am offended, I am offended. And open yourselves to criticism.

Early today, i tried pointing out somethings to @Charles -Tim, concerning merit sources from other local boards. And  How they are distribute good number of merit on their own local boards, despite they were not assigned to be a local board merit source. But instead of him to see the points,  I was trying to prove or make he became offended, and started asking me silly questions, and he called me local board trouble maker,  just because I contributed my own two cents.

[Lida93]

~snip

My allocation isn't that big compared to other sources what kinda makes it seem to measure up is my earned smerits. Funnily I don't even earn up to 20% from LB members regardless I still spend literally over 60% on the lb. The technical board was the section I was actually allocated to but I just try to recognise the LB more.

I want to know please, did you applied as technical board merit source or you applied as local board merit? Because from the assessment of your application it's more of local board reference posts from you that made most part of your source application. Honestly, you're doing great in the LB with the number of merits you're receiving each month but saying the technical board was your main allocated source board it's incorrect.

We all know those merit sources that are doing the right thing in the local board and I would encourage you keep it up regardless of what others ain't doing or doing.

I would suggest that our merit sources assign threads or sub boards among themselves to ensure that merits are evenly distributed. Post quality is personal and same is merit sending. I applaud our sources and our moderators. But we can do better!

You do not understand, 50 smerits is not enough. You can apply under the igebotz thread for merit giveaway or so instead, provided if he unlocks it. Most of us that are new merit sources, the smerit allocation is not enough. I can use 50 smerits in just 4 to 5 days out of 30 days which was what I did when I become a merit source. Quality posts are easy to see but where are the smerits to send when they are not enough.

Baba first the share the 50 nah before you say is not enough because normally stats says differently from what you have sent out from the total given the past month. Even if it's one-third of the 50 going round in the local board would still be felt.

You and other merit sources can also assist in the igebotz thread for merit giveaway once a while if you think roaming around the local board for quality posts seems stressful to do.

Even though say some of us don't usually talk we know those merit sources way the try well and those way the try small and those way no the try at all.

I remember when CryptopreneurBrainboss was the only merit source from Naija local board, all this complains about merits not enough or small or this and that excuses weren't heard of, and with what he he was being allocated to monthly it still goes round to quality posts in the local board.

[Rockson1]

I read all your argument and the point you are making is that you were not given a merit source Only in the Nigeria local board, so even if you are made merit source in the Nigeria local board and the general board, you decide to give 90 percent of your Smerit to the general board, because obviously that is what you are doing, what happens if you even do it 50/50, and tomorrow you will complain about Nigeria bad government.
The forum management will be counting you guys as Nigeria merit source, to them we have 5 merit source. And I’m sure they will never give any Nigeria that apply for merit source under our local board or other board anymore because they believe we have enough, meanwhile we have nothing.
It is well. Maybe we will plead with theymos to give us real local board merit source.

How do you think such will be possible, you think theymos is not observing what is happening here, for crying out loud we have 5 merit sources what do we want again, some persons say it is only 50 they allocate to them fine and good, has our local feel the impact, I think the answer is no, is it that there's no quality post in our local board, what is the excuse, I have come to understand that even though we are been given 50 merit sources, nothing will change, more excuses will come, too bad, it is unfortunate that even as a merit source, some persons will still come up with different excuses, who knows why theymos has not increased the allocation of some sources, the truth is that Nigerians are not supposed to complain about merit source again because theymos has given us much and those involved should swing into action to do what they signed for, let's know this, every source that is from Nigeria is seen as naija board merit source just as you have said already whether you spent it outside or not, our merit sources should have a rethink, that is all I can say.

[Finebone]

I have been reading through all the comments here, and all I can say is that it's a good thing that we have this conversation, because it's greatly needed.
@Mia Chloe, I have been seeing your work in this local board as a merit source, and to be honest, you are doing well, but what I don't like is what sir igebotz is also piss off about. The main reason you were made the merit source was because of the support you got from the naija local board, so trying to discredit the support you got makes no sense at all.

I wouldn't be saying much on @Charles-tim because a lot has been said already to him , and I am certain that he is intelligent enough to get the message that has been passed by other forum users.

While most people here are complaining about Charles-tim but they fail to talk about @Smartgold that has been the worst merit source in the history of this forum, and left for me, na only him matter we surpose talk here because him own merit source activity no dy manageable at all.
If no be the work of sir igebotz, cryptoprenuerbrainboss and Mia Chloe in this local board, i no dy sure say this local board for grow like this, but this discussion dy necessary for the growth of our local board.

You just said everything that was on my mind. I really love the fact that we had this kind of discussion in our local board, this conversation is just to encourage responsibility,  not to discredit anyone. I swear down if not for this discussion I never knew that someone named Smartgold is actually a merit source on Nigeria local board. I am very shocked to find out that @Smartgold has been one of our merit source on this board.  I rarely see that kind of present or any kind of contributions and activity from @Smartgold that would warrant being considered a merit source. Merit sources are usually recognized with continued contributions and involvement.

Additionally,  recognition should be given to those who have been contributing to the board's development just like the names you've mentioned above,  as the development of this board did not just occur randomly.  Conversation such as this one should not be viewed as disrespectful to anyone, but rather as a way to hold each other accountable for the board.  If we truly care about the growth of this board,  then open and sincere observation like this one will help grow this community as a whole,  and not continue to divide the community further.
