Members, reputable members. Was it better before back then when this forum was without merits or is it better or even much better now with merits? Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) What do you mean better? Has useful information stop being spread here? are there not still very many helpful topics created by still very quality writers? The forum is good, and it just strikes me that if the merit system was added to the forum when it was not a part of the original plan, then it means it was meant to make the forum better as an improvement. At this stage I the forum where things has remained like nice and running with the merit system, the forum will feel odd if the merit system is abolished. OP is fond of creating topics that make little sense or coming up with fabricated stories. Sometimes he ends up deleting the thread when caught in his lies. Anyone who has been on forums before or spent a few weeks on bitcointalk will come to appreciate the merit system. Though at first newbies may feel the merit system is working against them because they are not getting the merits they think they deserve. Hence the resentment and suspicions of older members hoarding merits or only giving merits to high rank accounts.

You're right. I remember the time when you were growing up and were extremely worried about your posts, so much so that you probably wrote not only me by PM but also other users to check your posts. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) But the reason is that people grow up differently here. Some beg for merit or are extremely concerned about quality, while others create content that cannot exist without user approval.

When the merit system came every individual is in struggled to get more merit through his posts and his better activities on the BitcoinTalk so his BitcoinTalk ID could be in the front of the last of the better users who were active there, and their posts quality was even better. It has a better impact on Bitcointalk as users can help each other by sending merits and giving merits to each other's posts regarding their qualities. This way, the community of BitcoinTalk is growing day by day and engaging in different talks here in different forms.

I wasn't around when the merit system was introduced. But I do know that the forum was filled with spam and garbage posts before the merit system. So to fight this off, theymos implemented the merit system. Correct me if I'm wrong.
To be honest, I think merit system made quite the impact to the forum. Mostly to the users. They are trying to improve their post qualities in order to earn merits and rank up. So yes, there were many changes after all.

When was it possible to start enroll in campaigns on the forum? Was also that a positive change? For the reason now an account can actually make move in a respected way (Post high quality posts) so it should also make the forum a bit cleaner from spam? I checked too a few years ago when my curiosity pushed me to as finding out if the forum started hosting campaigns from its first year. Nope, it didn't. Signature campaigns weren't even a thing until around 2014 or before it (I can't be sure of what year I discovered then now). Even then, campaigns were run mostly on monthly basis and some campaigns would demand that participants reapplied once the 30 days period were over. The pay wasn't much to write home about then but that same pay now is humongous if we compare it with what value it has now. Human traffic was minimal too then. So, I think this forum grew from nothing to what it's now. I also believe that more changes also await us in future at BTT.

Before you boast of your material acquisition, take a stroll to a morgue and there you will find those who were once better than you're. Only fools think they've it all. Stay humble 🤔

Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The merit system as I know was introduced in 2018 of which I got into the forum in 2022 which clearly indicates that I didn't experience how the forum was regarding to discussions/threads quality as at that time before the merit system but by the role and purpose of the merit system as established common sense alone will tell you that the introduction of the merit system was to solve a recurring problem called spamming and low quality posting and it has made things much better in the forum than when it wasn't in place. Simply put, If before when there was no meriting system was so great than now then there wouldn't be a need for enacting merit system. With the merit system spamming has been been reduced to it barest minimum as merit stands as a reward for quality delivery in posts/comments.

Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) although i joined the forum at the stage when merit system is he guarantee for your ranking up, I feel that it's what is best for a forum as this. Let's assume you just need an activity of 100 to rank up, it would be very difficult for bounty managers to select those that they will accept no a particular campaign since the number if persons ranking at the same page would have been much. But using the merit system, you can easily access the quality of a particular users post by going through his merit history and checking the post that ranked him up and it's going to be easy to know those that spam the forum and those that don't. I feel that the challenge is that the number of merit source might not be all that much and sometimes ranking up might not necessarily be all that easy but the fact that quality threads gets you merited help one to out in the effort to making contribution that I of high quality and that can help some users that comes across your thread or replies

So to fight this off, theymos implemented the merit system. Correct me if I'm wrong. You're right, some of us weren't around when all this happened, but we met the story on ground about what led to the introduction of the merit system, i learnt that it was later as well that the altcoins sections was seperated from the other bitcoin discussions section to also confined all those spammers and trollers in the same place. To be honest, I think merit system made quite the impact to the forum. Mostly to the users. They are trying to improve their post qualities in order to earn merits and rank up. So yes, there were many changes after all.
The merit system has made the quality delivery of members to increase and post what make sense before they can earn merit and that same merit is what will make them rank up, if you're not a spammer indeed then you will concentrate on giving your best in quality post.

But anyway I would say the merit system has saved the forum from being worthless. Otherwise, the legendary rank holder who ranked up by shitposting would have reached millions by now, ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Anyway, I won't say that merit system is directly removing shitposts/spamposts from the forum or is implemented to remove it, I think the main reason for employing merit system is to stop those shit posters from ranking up. ![](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/evil.gif)

Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Beyond all reasonable doubt, the merit system has helped reduce the population of alt farmers, Plus the fact that strict measures are being taken should anyone be found in the very act -- note... it hasn't ELIMINATED them, it only created a boundary that'd take only a guru to bypass.. which would most likely be revealed with time.
I wasn't there before the merit system, but with the evidences from most prominent members at the time, I feel the forum was assumed the worst place if you ever wanted to read on some crypto valuables... Theymos made a Good decision. Sandra 🧑🦰

Of course, this can't be a perfect way of moderation but it tries so well as we can all see and has lessened the work of the moderators too. I wonder how the forum would have been if this had not been implemented. If too many shitposts and spamming were not happening then, there will not be a reason for implementing the merits system. As it is now, it is really working with no regrets, only that those who have sMerit should continue to use it judiciously and not partially so that it will not be difficult for those deserving it to get it. This is the only issue about the merit system, the distribution could be partial and some who deserve it most might not get it compared to those who deserve it less who get it more.
