Is buying merit parmited

[cryptoaddictchie]

I guess OP would have thought of many ways on how he could get some merits if such could be allowed by the forum

Maybe his curious. Buying and selling of merits arent allowed, but doing for accounts is not advisable. This statement means its allow but dont discourage. If some of these guys wanted that merits badly, then they can just bought accounts with smerits. However without prohibiting the trading of accounts, this kind of modus wouldnt stop. So this rule must be created in order to avoid exchanging of merits.

There have been issues countless times with those involved in all these kind of acts including buying of account, I don't what some people take this forum for, but the best offer that has been a lasting solution was the moderation it has unlike other unregulated social media platforms they can carry out many illicit activities in there, how could a newbie taugh about doing all these if not that he was not given a proper orientation before joining, aside those that have already been used to all manners of scam related experiences right before joining by avoiding the due process for a shortcut means.

Honestly am new here and with my little time that i have spent in this forum i have observed,and i wanna ask the forum mate if that is posible because i saw it happening amonge the forum mate and the person that invade this platform for me,people in this forum who are connected in one way or the other are trading on their sendable merit not only the their sndable merit but orher way of trading on merit is going on in this forum,so my question is,is it good and permitted to do such on the forum,

Hehe...you haven't made more specificities on that, so how's that supposed to be true? Is it when you realized that it's almost impossible to get 'em coming more easily than what you thought? Cus ever since the last time lovesmay did a kinda philanthropy welcoming with one merit to start with, you haven't had any since then.
I'm not gonna say I haven't been observing some fishy activities in here, but again, that cannot be acted upon without valid proves... Thirdly, anyone could always decide to merit his favourite merit fan too if they've got nicer post - doesn't mean that's some proposed merit trading as you Said..  I've been meriting peeps and most especially, Chymist for every post review in question -does that mean we're trading?
Note: I'm not disputing the fact that it happens anyways.

What exactly do you need merits for? If you have in mind that after you buy merits from someone whatever the deal is and think you can join campaign later on then it's totally wastage of time because managers will also evaluate your post history which will tell the posts are not worth it so what's the fun behind it? The system was implemented to prevent spam posters but if you somehow get it by paying for it you didn't gain anything with enhancement in your knowledge.

you said it all.

If you have checked the forum rules before now, you will see that trading merits is not advisable here since you can get the merit you are think of trading or buying when you write good posts. The problem is how long would someone have to be buying merits and where do you think you are going to get it even with your money. There are many scammers here that would tell you that they will sell you some merits for you to rank up. These people might just be a mere scammers that are ready to take your money from you. You don't need to yield to that kind of advise even if they come to your DM to lure you. It will be wise for your ti do things in the right way.

[YUriy1991]

The forum has no control on it but as a responsible member, you should know that buying merits are strictly prohibited and should never be encouraged. Simply because that will not be your asset and that will not make you knowledgeable and become significant member in the forum. Merits are only given to those who deserve it, and not to be bought since your worth and quality will never be bought in the first place.

Forum controls it, that's why DT members give a red tag to the member who is buying merits. If forum has no control, forum won't respond anything to the merit sales.

Of course, every member mustn't sell or buy their merits, it is actually not a proper way. It is unfair to get merits without any effort, people get merits because of their contribution and the quality of their posts. It is the only way to get merits, buying merits can be categorized by cheating the merit system.

I agree that merits are only for the deserved members. Improve posts quality, more active, and do any contribution to earn merits. It is the way to deserve for merits!

That's right, here. All BTT Forum members have the same rights and opportunities to get merit. Btw, I want to say so too like you mentioned above  . Even if forum members get merit from someone, of course, somebody (Merit Source) must be have a strong foundation and many sides to read before sending it to either the topic creator or the answerer.

Yeah. Reading a lot and being good at drawing conclusions is the main thing in discussion forums. so there will be a lot of material that can be conveyed by those who ask or answer, try to be polite, orderly and clever and not go out of the way.

You are newbie here just exploring different threads is what you should focus on and when you write some quality stuff or even something useful like asking some good doubts also then you will get merits your way which is the best not to follow any such advice of whosoever is convincing you to buy merits.

It seems that newbies these days are very anxious about getting merits that’s why if some will attempt to sell their merits, they will instantly grab for that. That is a clear manifestation that they don’t care about the purpose of the forum but only to satisfy their greed and that is to get rich quickly. I just hope that they will realize that merit is not the only factor to qualify for signature campaign. It’s actually the posting habits and performance of an applicant that will matter the most, and not merely on how many merits you’ve received.

[Mpamaegbu]

is it good and permitted to do such on the forum,

Nope, it's not. Nonetheless, your observation couldn't be wrong. Sometimes you get to find loose and unworthy posts get heavily merited and you ask why, only for you to look closely and see a return to the same user who had merited the other. I think it's called something like "returning favour or scratching my back and I scratch yours" type of thing. I don't think it's an offence if the posts merited are deserving of merits but I find it an issue when outright shitposts are merited.

~snipped~

You maybe right, but I want you to know that some newbie make a quality post but it will not be merited but when some who is influential make such kind of post it will be merited why?

You're right with your observation and you don't need to look far for the "why". It's called double standard. It's the same reason some users don't merit members outside their circle. This is why I continue to maintain that meriting posts is rather subjective than objective.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

OP, I can tell you that buying of merit is not a wise thing to do if you are considering doing so. If you are considering buying merit, that means your intentions here are just to rank up and perhaps join a campaign and be like some users that are very professional in shit postin. Well, I think that one reason why the merit system was introduced was to reduce the level of shitposting and encourage users to make more quality posts. So, if you are buying merit or BTT account, you are automatically telling the forum that you are a bad poster that is not sure if you can make any good and healthy contribution to the forum. IMO, having to sell merit in exchange for money is bad, you could get a Neg tag.

A known behaviour for sure but, I never knew there was a name to it “Double Standard”.
Now the question remains is that a good thing? Perhaps the beginners in need of merits should go get a circle… that’s nonsense.

Having either of these in a way undermines the idea behind merit creation as one could easily neglect a merit worthy post for an unworthy one. Although yeah, you count tell what post is unworthy as, it’s not your own Smerit that would be given out and what’s unworthy in your eyes might just be the information that is relevant in another user.

That’s just the sad truth about merits!

[Lida93]

Buying merit is a let down to your brains for something which you can easily earn by using same brains to give solutions to someone's plight to useful and valuable information. The early stage in the forum for everyone is always difficult as a newbie with no knowledge of how the forum operates, where to disseminate or imbibe informations. Still it doesn't warrant the monetization of the merit system.

OP should bother himself more on how useful he could be to the forum cause your stems of growth in the forum depends on how useful, resourceful and informative you are to the needs of users queries about cryptocurrency challenges they encounter, and general knowledge outside crypto altogether. Don't engage in merit buying it's not allowed.

[Viscore]

Yes, it’s always possible to buy merits since the forum admin cannot control the members if they decide to sell their merits privately. However, know that it’s highly improper and self-degrading to buy merits knowing the fact that merits are only given to those who did great performance by posting high quality and highly significant posts. Other than that, those who settle for poor performance would stay at low position until they start improving the content of their post and start receiving merits because they deserved to be rewarded as well. While buying merits is strictly not allowed, but I believe some still chose to break the law due to selfish and personal desires.

No- I do not think that buying merit is acceptable in this forum. Not only do you cheat the system but you are also engaging into a fraud activity.

Given that merits are discretionary acts, a person may freely merit any post/thread depending on the situation. But if you are planning on buying merits, be ready to face the consequences. While it may be relatively difficult to prove the degree of participation in buying merits, once enough proof has been compiled then your account may most likely be banned.

It is highly discourage and once they are caught doing this act, they are facing severe consequence. There is also that fat chance of their accounts being banned by the moderators if overwhelming evidence has been proved that they indeed bought merits.

Merit is not for sale, it is not justified in forums. Merit is only to reward members who are able to contribute to the forum by posting informative, constructive, innovative or better known as quality posts. Those who carry out merit trading are a bunch of idiots who have no intention of growing or don't believe in their own abilities. Just imagine how much money must be spent to buy 100 merits in order to reach the Full Member rank. Expand your knowledge to contribute to forums, merit will come to you when you are able to produce quality posts.

If members decide to sell their smerit to people secretly it will make the forum to tough in earning merit and no amount of qualities you write in forum will be award a merit, and secondly merit will be very scarce to earn because everyone will be likely to make money with it's smerit, in which such implementation is not proper in my sight and I believe many people who know how the merit system was initiated will not like such implementation

you earn merits through good and quality post, merits dont just come you have to work to earn it, in what you are trying to say here i don't get to understand, but take your time to correct those words i marked out in RED so what you are saying can be understood by most newbies unlike the advanced users on the forum.

Merits is made by the administrator to reward for those user here in forum contributed well. And also as a user here in this forum we must obey the rules and regulations we don't need to cheat in order to reach high ranks, we don't need to cheat in order to see ourselves successful, but we can work hard in order to reach those goals. Buying merits or account here in forum is like you are cheating in your self because you now that you can not earn it through your hardwork that's why you want to get it in an easy way.

Merits is not made by by forum administrator merit made by forum system.

There are 110 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 33989 sMerit per 30 days

23035 merit was sent in the last 30 days.

Where 110 people have merit sourced in this forum.  And they are distributing thousands of merits every month. But they do not give merit to anyone out of love for relatives. Merit is given to those who post good quality and whose post is helpful to any user of this forum. And users other than merit source also distribute merit because when a user earns merit 1 Smerit is generated for every 2 merits in his account. and if one holds Smerit in his account then his account does not get any extra benefit. For this almost everyone distributes his Smerit without holding it. so getting merit is very easy task.  So it is better to try to get merit legitimately without buying/selling merit. DT members will not hesitate to red tag someone's account if merit buying/selling is revealed with their account.

[HajiBagi]

Let's say you buy merits, you need a lot of it to rank-up, signature campaigns are looking for a minimum effort in the quality of posts to get paid, if you don't make that effort, buying merit points won't change anything.

It is a scam because other users get tired of creating high-quality posts while you get for merits for free are therefore merit is not a commodity to be bought or sold.

You will not be banned for buying/selling merits but may get negative trust and many will ignore your posts.

You have already stated exactly what I was going to say: No one will ban the account is either they give him negative trust, buying merit may seem like a way for some people to think that once they have merit, they can participate in any campaign they choose, but signature campaigns have many rules and regulations, and when they explain some of them, you won't want to become one of their victims. Additionally, quality posts are one of the best things that people look for before you have merit, even if you went out and bought merit, If you don't have a campaign, I think your buying of merit is meaningless because no one will permit you to join one because of your posts, which are also subpar.

The forum is not a place to rush things, so my advise to new members is to be patient in order to get a merit and write a quality post. If any forum members read it and truly understand it, they will automatically award you with a merit for it.

some new members, or maybe those who are old but have problems with their previous account, create an account and buy Merit to quickly rank up. useful or not I think it will only help them reach Full Member, or even just up to Member rank.
the goal is clear to join the bounty or signature campaign. that is why there are also some who buy accounts instead of buying Merit. and make a post then they make a post to the source of merit to ask for merit.

 If you need a honest answer to this thread then the answer is no, although theirs so specific way to punishment against those who buy Merits but it could bring trust issues amongst members like in a case where there's an agreement between two members and one refuses to comply, but them why would you be thinking of buying Merits when you still have more important things at hand, since you're still a low ranking Member your focus should be on learning from your seniors on how to create and come up with informative and educated topics that would fetch you Merits for free.

  However, come to think of it, if selling merit was allowed then the forum would had come up with a board where members would be allowed to buy and sell their merits, the well was created as a reward by the forum to members for good contributions and not as an agenda for buy and selling, it's a good thing you're beginning to understand some negative on-goings in the forum so as to avoid them  but I hope you also learn how to make good contributions as well so you'll begin to get Merits.
