Sending merit to merit worthy posts to team members. How would you look at it?

[Pandu Geddon]

I see some casinos merited their brand accounts and community don't complain about that.

that's because those casino accounts earn their reputation. those who give merit mostly do have experience playing or participating in campaigns with good payouts.

I don't think what the OP meant was anything wrong. as long as it doesn't support scam brands.

The thing is very simple, if your meriting pattern conforms to the required standard of the forum rules regarding merit then i think you're fine, so here i think all that is needed is to read the required rules for Meriting a post and if you're within the coverage then fine, but as for me the only standard i know is to merit a quality post, don't merit your alts and don't beg for merit, while you should also be reminded of your right in meriting some, you can decide who to and not to merit base on your convictions on their post as quality post.

I can see something different done by some other business accounts but they have good interaction with users and they are also quite used to sending merits to other users like Best_Change or Bitcasino.io Support and some other accounts do. I've seen them post merit a lot, but as a business account they're bound to have limited interaction on many topics other than just focusing on their own business. This is one of the reasons why I don't send merit on business accounts often enough, but I can still do it when I need their help and they do it well and help.

When I thought about business accounts which actively send merits and interact here, Best_Change comes to my head first. But you have good point can have limited interaction, they rarely go outside their ANN/Discussion topic

Meriting a team member whose post is worthy of been merited is not bad at all. They’ve contributed to the forum and their contributions is worthy of been merited, so I don’t think it’s a bad idea. You’ll see legendary members meriting each other when one of them gives response to a post and find the solution to a question been asked. Some who are team members (merit source’s) also give merit to each other on deserving posts and response. Adding good value to the forum is one of the criteria of been given a deserving merit.

Exactly what I wanted to point out,  most project accounts rarely post outside the project announcement thread, and most important part is that this type of account have no guarantee of remaining active on this forum for a long time, most especially those in the Altcoin Ann board.

 It is very easy for such accounts to abandon the forum as soon as their project become either -
~Successful and they see no need to remain active on the forum
Or
~As soon as they abandon the project,  they also abandon the project account.

So when one considers the two scenarios above,  meriting such accounts even when they make a good post in their ANN thread feels like a waste of Merit.
So personally,  I feel the op has a good point,  and I also think the scenerios I mentioned above are among the reasons why merit sources don't pay any attention to Altcoin board.

I am going to restrict myself meriting on the ANN thread. This should be a safe practice for me as I really don't want to have a double mind at all.


Off-topic:
Unfortunately our ANN thread moved to the Securities board :-(
It's understandable but question is aren't all ICOs are a kind of Securities?
Maybe this deserves a new meta discussion, not sure yet though.
