skarais - Merit Source Aplication

[Findingnemo]

Indonesian board is one of the very active local board of I am not wrong which I noticed from some of the statistical based threads but personally I don't understand the bahasa (language) but I have/had a lot of friends from that country who were working with me in my past so I just know few words but don't understand it properly.

Still I will support it if its really needed, and already lot of others shown their support so hopefully theymos will have a look at it and decide what will be the best.

sent 427 merit 389 times to 107 profile dan menduduki 281st user ranking in terms of sending merit be proof of @skarais very good achievement. The Skarais initiative created a thread [HELP]Bantuan untuk menaikkan Rank (Newbie s.d Hero) V.2 [UPDATE] is proof of Skarais concern to help local Indonesian users earn merit from quality posts on local thread.

As one of Indonesian local users, I strongly support Skarais being a Merit Source. During ± 4 year joining the forum, Skarais reputation was quite good. Currently he is one of the most active Indonesian local users in sending Merit to other users, of course on a quality post.

The reasons I support skarais being a Merit Source:

• Sent 427 merit 389 times, to 107 profile. 70% sent via local indonesian board.
• Skarais is quite active in helping new users in terms of experience, understanding forum and services (Merit).
• Language limitations by other Merit Sources so skarais deserve a chance.
• Indonesian local councils need additional Merit Sources to increase the number of merit distributions on quality posts on Indonesian local boards.

I hope the skarais application can be accepted Theymos, Currently the Indonesian local council is in dire need of additional active Merit Source.

Sorry I just answered you today about my previous comment. I just meant to invite their local users to support this app because I think that's what the OP is hoping for. I don't know who the real OP is, but so far I've send it merit several times on decent posts.

I have expressed support for the OP's merit application as well as when Charles-Tim submitted his application. I will only support anyone who cares about this community regardless of where they come from. As long as the contribution is good for the bitcointalk community then I will be willing to support it. Today I've seen some local users support this merit app, good luck to the OP.

Is very obvious that their is no way his local community won't support is objectives, because for he to become a Merit source for his local board, it's the community people will be of benefit mostly, so from the onset i knew that his people will definitely come out massively to support his proposal, many people is looking for a way for their community image to come out in cryptocurrency industry, myself I'm not from there but i gave him my support.

[skarais]

I have relatively little support from my Local Board community compared to my non-Local community but that's not a big deal in my opinion as each user can decide for himself what is good and what is not. This application is just my initiative to contribute more to the community, both local and non-Local even though the title says specifically for the Indonesian Local Board, so this is not a fame race from my side. If this application is never accepted then I only hope that I can still contribute to community as usual without any change.

To everyone who support, I just hope your support can help me get a chance to be a merit source in this community. But I just want to know if if I'm not on anyone's trust list so far then my chance are much less than others? What I mean is that I have never been a DT and have not been trusted by anyone DT1.

That should be irrelevant, and even a separate matter altogether. One thing is your ability to judge the content of a post, and another totally different one is whether people trust your criteria leaving Trust feedback. A different matter would be if you had negative Trust feedback yourself. Despite Trust ratings being commerce related (in principle), it does affect one’s reputations, and I figure would bear some weight on the decision.

[skarais]

You are right DdmrDdmr, and you are the second person to say the same thing about the lack of relevance between the opportunity to be a source of achievement and my involvement at DT. I recognized it as something different even though someone had previously told me.

Currently I have several other posts that will be submitted in this thread, but it seems the number is still under 5 posts. So have to wait a while to reapply.

[skarais]

Bump, I'd like to hear if there are other possibilities and support for this app. So far I have successfully distributed nearly 500 merit since the merit system was introduced. I don't know if I could do more as the amount of merit I get fluctuates greatly every month depending on the quality of the posts and who wants to help me with the merit.

The following is the history of the merit that I have shared, hopefully it can be taken into consideration.

I support this application because I do believe that the applicant is eligible to be a merit source, first, he did many things here in the forum he is a good contributor, he always helps those people who are in the stage of learning and in terms of giving merits he spend his own sMerits to a quality posts/reply.
And if we talk about reputation I think he is already qualified cause this user doing great in this community.

Good luck buddy hope you will be accepted.

I have been off the forum for a while. Almost 3 years has passed. Then the issue of merit was fresh and many have yet to get the full understanding. I loved the introduction of the merit because it some what put sanity into the forum.

However, I have observed that merit now play a significant roll for anyone who want to join a good paying signature campaign. Therefore acquiring merits can take a new dimension.

Again, climbing up the rank is very important. And you definitely need merit points to move from one rank to the other.

The forum does not give a criteria for what constitute a quality post worthy of a merit. So a more liberal board can be having more merits than others. And for a local boards, there can be better expression of ideas and taught than one who is struggling with English.

At the moment I am just speeding to catch up with the forum again.

Welcome back to the forum. As a old member, I think you already know a lot about the merit system since you stopped being active in October 2020 ^{[more than 2 years since the merit system was introduced].} You've also received and sent merit during that time and you definitely know how this system works.

The merit system is not moderated where you can send  and earn on any post, but of course when you spend it on unqualified posts, people may accuse you of abusing the merit system. Quality posts depend on how you rate other users' posts based on your interpretation of whether you want to do it objectively or subjectively.

Again, I support skarais's application here, and I CC'ed Theymos on a response to a recent PM by skarais (hope you don't mind, but I thought it might do some good and at least wouldn't do any harm).

What's the harm of adding one more merit source, and especially one who's active on the Indonesian board?  There are probably merit sources out there who've lost their zeal for the job, ones who aren't active on any of the local boards, and some who've quit.  Why not just give skarais a chance here?  Obviously he wants to help members rank up and would probably do a damn good job as a merit source.

C'mon Theymos.  Give the guy a shot.

Thank you The Pharmacist for your support, I'm glad to hear that. Of course there's no harm in it and just hope it's useful too.  

So far I have managed to get the attention of one of the merit source (Ratimov) to help Local Board users gain merit and have a chance to rank up the rank, especially he is willing to give merit to anyone who asks for a review in the thread I created. He's helpful, I'm happy to be able to take him to the Local Board and get him to contribute there, but I find it much better if we can have 1 additional merit resource from one of the Local users as well. They should however consider everything including how I distribute merit at the moment, and if he wants to add then I'm sure not only 1 but several other applications will also be considered.

I have also seen skarais as good and effective contributor to the forum and have given good amount of merits to the users so i also support his merit source application for the Indonesian board.Personally I don't know what are the circumstances in the local board but to the extent i know from the discussion there is need for one source to help members grow on the forum.The fact is he will not help anyone directly but will give merits to those who deserves them as local boards lack in merit generation in comparison to overall forum boards.

So you are right that theymos could give him a chance and it won't harm anyone but on the contrary there could be some Indonesia local board members growing on bitcointalk.

That's good that as we grow on forum it's our responsibility to help the other deserving members also rank up which is possible with smerits.Ratimov has helped lot of members to rank up with his own threads and by simply giving out merits to some others i directly and indirectly.

Hope you will soon get response from theymos and once again i also support your application.

Of course, I just hope to get this opportunity from admin and theymos will consider all your support for my application.

It might be strange to request that applications only be a merit source in Local Boards because ETFbitcoin and Husna QA are still quite active in distributing merit in Local Board where they are ranked first and second as the most active merit senders in the past year starting on January 1, 2021 until now . I'm only ranked third based on the data in the merit dashboard because the number of sMerit I have is not comparable to that of the merit source.

Since the merit system was introduced I have distributed 75% of my total sMerit on Local Board, the other 25% are also distributed on some other boards like meta, B&H, economy and some other boards. So maybe I will not only help on Local Boards but can also help anyone on other boards when it's really valuable.

The main point is helping out small members but only to those who deserves it means making quality posts and making forum a better place to have healthy and useful discussion.I am also giving out merits but not at faster pace but will try to improve as hoarding smerits with ourselves have no point and you distributing merits in local board is absolutely fine as they also need recognition from High rank members like you.

You might get response soon and good news to be appointed as new merit source along with the others.

[Falconer]

I came to support your application after I got proof of your contribution on the local board. Some people have previously lost interest in distributing multiple merit to local board each month, but you have struggled with other merit source to keep local distribution of merit enhanced and maintained. I express support and help you with some of the smerit I have, wish you good luck.

I see this application getting a lot of support from both merit source and non-merit source. Hopefully theymos can consider your application sooner or later. I am trying to get some data about merit distribution which you updated last year in local board, there are around 2442 merit distributed by merit source and non-merit source in local board in 2021. Hopefully after theymos receive your application the number of merit distributed in local board will increase to reach 3000-5000 or more as Indonesian local board still have an active user base above 750 in 2021.

Of course, it's getting the support it deserves, the forum usually offers their support for such applications when the user is capable and well deserving of the position, just as is the case here. Hopefully Theymos will respond, it may not come too soon as we already know, but it's never too late, there are a lot of good applications in the pipeline waiting for response from the 'boss', and I believe they will all be considered, I wish Skarais all the best, so he can support good forum users from his local board and other sections of the forum as well.

[skarais]

Bump.

I still hope to have the opportunity to be a merit source. Although currently no other users are added or subtracted from the total merit source (111 users) but I still want to wait.

The increase in the distribution of merit on the Indonesian Local Board has already begun. This is a great success that I could have hoped for earlier. Some users are quite active and some are starting to improve the quality of their posts, this is a good reason to expect additional merit source.
