joker_josue Merit Source Application - to encourage the Portuguese community

[criptoevangelista]

In the Portuguese local board we currently only have a single merit source.

We need more merits circulating in this local board, this helps to engage the Brazil/Portugal community and further encourages members to participate with quality content... based on this, @joker_josue has my full support for being a merit source, he has and already demonstrated his impeccable reputation and all his dedication to contributing to this forum.

@theymos I ask that you consider @joker_josue application, I'm sure it's for the good of everyone who thinks about building a better place here.

I think those 2 images shows our current situation

I would like to bump this topic, to mention that my application is still valid. I remain available to be a source of merit.

Once again I thank you for your support.

I'm surprised that you haven't been appointed the merit sourcehip position yet... I mean, how's that even possible? Theymos hasn't nominated anyone for the sourceship position ever since when? 2018?..

Joker_josue has been a quality contributor of the dev & technical board, and most important, a very generous merit giver. The Portuguese LB has been lagging behind; an illustration has been confirmed via charts and graphs. I think I can boldly support JJ on this one.
..and hey Theymos? How long do we still have to wait on you?

I think theymos gave me merit source in 2019 not 2018.

I gave joker 25 merits. because I like portuguese food. I also like his talkimg website it has helped us at bitcoin talk.

Even though I'm not active here, every now and then I come and read what people post on this board. joker_josue has been encouraging me to post, as well as helping everyone on our local board.

Although the merit ratio is very low on the Portuguese board, I always try to maintain the quality of my posts and topics when I post there. We have very good posters like bitmover, Pumared, Disruptivas, TryNinja and many others, as well as our prodigy criptoevangelista.

Also, even though I'm not a merit source, I'm quite generous when I send sMerits, usually sending more than 1 sMerit (when I'm high on sMerits).

We believe that you can listen our community @theymos, I believe this will benefit our community as well as maintain the quality of the forum.

Thank you for the merits, I will try to use them in the best way possible.

And since you like Portuguese food, take a look at my recent topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5497819.0  
I could even share this topic in another area of ​​the forum. But which? Any tips?  



Thanks again for the support.

Joker is a great member and I have no reasons to disadvise against his application, but I don't think the problem on the PT board is necessarily the lack of merit sources.

I am a merit source and, while I am nowadays more and more away from the forum, I still spend the majority of my forum time on the portuguese board even visiting it to do merit sprees. Don't get me wrong, there is rarily a post I would call spam over there, but *in my opinion* there is a difference between merit worthy <> ok post <> bad post. Maybe I just need to be more lenient and give 2x, 3x more merits at once, idk.

That is the point. It's not that he hasn't appointed Joker, it's that he hasn't appointed anyone else.

Thank you for the merits, I will try to use them in the best way possible.

Try not to hand them out because you like the food from the country of the commenting forum member, please.

[bitmover]

I think Portuguese board needs another merit source who merit good posts, help users to grow in rank and etc.

Giving merit takes some time and work... It is much easier just to read a few posts and merit none than to read most of them and merit some.


The post quality there is good. There are some good discussions going on there.
However, I am getting tired of meriting posts basically alone, and also receiving basically nothing even when making good contributions.

I will also suggest users such as sabotag3x (a former merit source), rdluffy and Disruptivas, which are all active users of the board too.

Only Portuguese, I know how to choose good food. 

And I also hope to know how to choose good posts, to give these merits.

In the Portuguese local board we currently only have a single merit source.

Hopefully that source is active and generous, and it's good that the Portuguese section at least has one.  I'm under the impression that's not the case for every local board, even some with large communities (though I could be wrong about that).

But once again--and I've written this so many times in merit source applications--it all comes down to what Theymos wants to do as far as adding new merit sources.  I don't know when the last application was accepted or even much about the statistics involving the number of sources, etc., much less what Theymos's thoughts are.  I keep wishing he'd drop a paragraph or two as sort of a "state of the merit system address" since he's the forum equivalent of the president of the US.  No doubt he's got other things on his plate, but he created the system and it's a damn good one that keeps shitposters and account farmers in check.  There are probably a lot of members, merit sources or not, who'd like to know what his plans/thoughts are.

Good luck OP and everyone else who's applied to be a merit source.

I believe that he will never comment on the merit system or anything of that kind... I think he prefers to keep the system flowing naturally as it currently is... if he were to go public, saying something, could directly influence the way merits circulate. . and perhaps he would like it to be organic, with people distributing merits in the most free way possible...
