A cools feature sir ~xd.

I guess, by seeing these we are gonna have a lot of intellectual & intelligent people coming from bitcointalk. All these folks are gonna to dominated cryptocurrency by creating the next bitcoin & next level of #MEME token.

BITCOIN FOR INCREASE THE LITERACY OF READING ~XD KEEP READING FOLKS, MERITS ARE COMING FOR YOU.

[retreat]

You almost got me there LOL.

Nice trial, Theymos. April fool, and happy new month! You actually got me, waking up to see merit. There has been an increase in my profile without any notification, Which after a while it start reducing.

[Poker Player]

For now, good, because I see that I have increased my merits, the shame is that they do not generate smerits and that tomorrow I will not have them. On the other hand very funny to see some with negative merit.

Edit: lol I see my merits have gone down now.

[julerz12]

So to counterbalance the penalty, I also added a system whereby you will earn a bit of merit just by reading posts. If you want to write a lot, you'd better do some reading as well!

How much merit is 'a bit'? Say if I read all the 63,842,969 Posts in 1,377,195 Topics by 3,604,538 Members in this forum, will I earn a God-like rank and a bazillion merits?

[ARTOIS]

Even before this changes my goal was to read and learn more, and now I see my merits evaporating and I continue to lose them as soon as I enter and exit the forum. What happens? Please explain this

Thanks Theymos, you have April fooled us!   However, if in real something like that could take place then it's much better to make some changes where users who make high quality posts gets some auto-merits for their time and contribution.

Let it end in an April Fool to avoid further complications. An automated system can only do what you wish for since there are no moderators checking and rating posts manually. Even if there are, the work will be too cumbersome. And this automated system may create more issues than the ones they would be tasked to solve if care is not taken.

I got a notification on the Telegram bot that my account was banned, but after I opened Bitcointalk everything was fine. Is this also part of April fools?

Bro, expect the worst surprises today, it litters everywhere now.

When I logged into the forum this morning and saw the Merit count increase on my BTT profile I felt good. But whenever I tried to post more I was surprised that my merit number was just going down. Tears started to fall, seeing such exceptions in the profiles of even more unique people like me, I calmed down. Later I realized that today is April 1st "April Fools".

[Agbe]

, he doesn’t add merit sources and has come up with a new system to make it harder for accounts to rank up. Sad day for bitcointalk.

I was expecting a surprise like that but all hopes are dead and surprised only with the April fool text. Lolz those who have not experienced it before would have read some texts or threads to fetch some merits but the April fool caught them up. What will manager AB de Royse777 will come up to spice the fun of the day. Is it [OPEN] BITWINUP Bitcoin PVP Prediction Game Signature Campaign | upto $90 but slots were open so it can't work again then he might use another signature campaign to butter the fun. I saw a complain in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5488206.msg63885123#msg63885123 and also saw the complaints rank changed and I was like have they gotten new rank in the forum? And I came here to see the whole melodrama. theymos Merit Sources and Moderators are needed.

[laijsica]

It's a very good....

[fillippone]

What a trip:

I hope this reverts!

That would be the real April Fool!

[Russlenat]

I didn't realize until I see this post.

Damn, happy April Fools day Theymos and everyone here who were victims once again.

No problem with chars( + -)... but man I'm reading more now.  


Now it was deducted again after this post. I just stop posting now.

@fillippone... you're certified now.

[Mpamaegbu]

Let me know what you think of these adjustments.

I told a forum member last night to look out for another theymos' April 1st prank. You didn't disappoint in that 😏

[LoyceBot]

Finally I received the recognition I deserve!

[Samlucky O]

Finally I received the recognition I deserve!

Does this also affect bot? Lolz I was thinking you should be in right position to handle situation here but it seams you are not different from others   . I really felt for this because I wasn't expecting it soon. I nearly had a HBP I think thymos must apologise for this because some people might be in the hospital after trininja dropped a notification that we have been permanently ban from Bitcointalk. Anyways all work without no play makes jack a doll boy. I can feel the vibe everywhere.

[amishmanish]

For all the years I have been here and Theymos still comes up with something that I can never imagine.

God there's so many people smarter, wittier, more intelligent than me in the world. Wish I was as smart as half of these idiots..
