Today I received a message from a user on telegram about a user in the winz.io campaign who was buying merits. I spoke with the user and told them, "Without proof there is nothing I can do".
After speaking with this user, I also decided to message the person he was referring to as well as look into his merit history. While looking into his merit history I seen 2 suspicious profiles
I don't know, but I suspect that the merit requirement for receiving payment would have a lot of consequences, forcing the merit buying and selling back to telegram and the forum. Not having merit does not necessarily mean that the poster is shit or that the post content is not good enough; in the gambling section, we have tons of quality discussion going on, and we are used to the fact that gambling posts rarely get merit because we do not have a merit source. I understand you wanted to try something different than other managers, but the rules will not benefit the forum in the long run unless you enjoy your participants putting in effort only to walk away with half the money for failing get a single merit.
I'm a full-time gambling poster, and I can tell you that the gambling board accounts for only 0.2% of my total merit, despite the fact that i posts their the most since I became Peter Drury and buwaytres is ( Jim Begling). Don't you think the merit requirement is too stringent? Personally, I would have preferred a monthly target of at least 5 merit for a member to remain in the campaign. Life on the gambling board is more difficult than you think, especially for those who came for the merits..
your campaign, your rules but theymos will not like members getting tagged for merit exchange.
If I recall correctly, I had a similar conversation with JollyGood about having a merit source on the gambling section. I can't believe we have so many good posters on that board and yet the merit distribution is the lowest among other sub-boards..
