About the 120 days merit summary

[Africolo]

OP the 120 days merits received thing was some kind of restrictions invented by campaign managers to give their campaigns some sort of standards, it has nothing to do with the forum. Your total merits received is what really matters.

Just use the BPIP.org extension. It does all that you need to see but if you hate BPIP.org extension and all those external tools for some reason, then you are going to have to do it the manual way

This is how the extension shows the merit data summary

If this was still worked on Google Chrome browser, I doubt anyone would have complained about what the OP is currently talking about.  It's a great tool, but mine stopped working sometimes ago and I had to remove it.

I've been waiting for an update on it ever since but I haven't stumbled on anything yet. The search option on Bpip can be frustrating at times, you make a search and it comes out empty most of the time.

Somehow being bothering, what is really the essence of the tag on the 120 days data capture of the forums in the merit summary?

If theymos should add every features to the forum, hence there will be no need for tools and script.

Let's use the forum as basic, tools and scripts exist for some reason, at best keeping some features undone gives this users the reasons to be creatives, that is how they came up with the whole tools and scripts we use.

I think this was my first take on this thread when I saw the complaint of the Op, although I can relate to why the Op is saying this which is because not every users has that time (lazy) to use the extension tools but the reality is a vast majority of the forum members are actively using the extra handy tools to get their desired satisfaction so why is the need to add it when a small portion of users if not only you is complain about such.  It is fine to complain if you aren't aware of such tools but knowing fully well the purpose for the creation of these handy tools and yet still demand and easier approach is exactly what is called the laziness users are referring to.

I think you guys are slightly deviated from the quote caption. I was indeed asked the essence of the 120 days merit summary of the forum and furthermore asked a simple question and suggest towards the detailing of the merit summaries.
That was not not complain because I am conversant in using those extension tool. My suggestion was rather made out of considering a short cut because if the forum could capture how many merits earned by users, it should had also captured sent and received Merits in the 120 days. I am not finding it difficulty to use the Bpip and it is okay if I must give it a remark.
But I think we all deserves respects for each other because I don't find it comfortable with you addressing me or a kind as a lazy user and I am sure you feel good with the approach because I am not one of the senior ranked users of the forum but to balance it up. I am not a lazy user as you may referring.

The essence is for you the account holder to know and have a 4 months summary of your merits activities, which you have received and sent to other profiles and those you sent or received from, while if we want to get more information concerning our merits activities, we can use the bpip for that purpose Ddmrddmr merit dashboard tools to analyze further about merits data, so you're right if you say then are deviating a little bit form what you intended asking.

Why does the merit count matter, whether it's 120 days or for years? Is this a concern for the forum actually? I don't think so. This isn't an important implementation for the forum at all. So far I can see campaign managers ask about earned merits like the last 60 days or 120 days. It depends on them, but nothing related to the forum, and admin don't have time to implement something that campaign managers require. Then a lot of things should be implemented.

So if you are concerned about joining the campaign and submitting your merit counts, you can simply find it on the BPIP website. No need for extra apps or extensions. I am not a fan of the installation of any extension. Whenever I need to see my statistics, then I simply check on BPIP. At least you have to struggle minimally if you need some extra benefits.

Remember the famous quote, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". The same goes for the forums' merit count/history! In my opinion, the current feature works just fine and doesn't require any other changes/additions! And also, this info isn't gonna help you in any way in your forum journey! Maybe you can track how fast u are getting merits, but that's all to it. Moreover we have bpip, yeah it's a 3rd party thing but who cares! I am also using the extension version of it and it shows all kind of data like, dt status, banned or inactive status, bpip rank, earned merit, airdropped merit etc..

Again, as indicated with the arrow on the image below is an indication of total merits earned by users but why can't we also have such quick map indicators that indicates total merits sent and total received in the 120 days without using an external tool or going through the process of counting the merits one after the other not check it?

In my understanding, it's simple, what I think is that knowing how many merit sent isn't as important as the number of merit received for the forum , apart from theymos using it to guage what merit sources are active to their responsibility of distributing merit and who aren't. Maybe he checks all that or maybe he doesn't. I guess that's a private evaluation he makes. But number of merit earned is obviously used by campaign managers to supposedly judge good posters. So, it's often their point of reliance in making their picks among other criteria.

However, I know that we can easily see the sent merit on https://bpip.org/Profile?p=username (insert username you want there) also.

Well let me just say thanks for the developers of the extension tools that has not only relieved workload for the forum server, but has made the forum more accessible where some features are not included in the platform.
But if we think every present features in the forum is completely satisfying with best regards to Theymos expectations, we might be getting it wrong. As the case maybe, some vital opinions of other users reviews can still be considered and implementable since the platform is still on the growing stages. Maybe that of this thread might not be necessary just as said about the interest of Theymos being only about total merits earned while 120 days counts would be interests of campaign managers.

If I got you correctly, then, you should know that this is for more accountability and quick read. It's perfectly fine that way.

I think it would save some stress if considered an added feature to the merits summary.

You raised a good point here, even though some people did not take it seriously, or has seen it as if we do not need the one that will be created directly by the forum and for the forum without depending on external website or an extensions. The features like ninjastic.space and bpip.org etc are doing the work, but I'm sure that some users do not know them, and even if everyone knows them, it doesn't change the fact that they are not part of the forum, and nothing can change that. It will be lovely if such feature is added.

It's just an example that op and his likes I mean newbies have little knowledge about the forum and when they find something difficult instead of asking different questions which will prompt an answer or even use the search buttons they automatically see themselves as genius who just discovered something the forum doesn't have and hence rush down to make suggestions only to realise that they are late or lack simply cognitive ability that would have allow them to figure things out without making f**ls of themselves

I think that there is zero 0️⃣ reason to show that particular number.

I have no interest in my merit total when I look at my merits given or received.

I am a merit source and I give hundreds of merits each month. I look at posts and my 120 days of merits to help decide what post to give a merit to.

So my thoughts are focused on the 120 days of info.

OP the 120 days merits received thing was some kind of restrictions invented by campaign managers to give their campaigns some sort of standards, it has nothing to do with the forum. Your total merits received is what really matters.

For some reason few campaign managers add the 120 days merit as a requirement although campaign managers are not part of the invention rather the forum already had the feature. I understand op point and if I’m not mistaking op is requesting for another merit detail to be added with the total number of merits (120) days, like many mentioned the 120 days merit is not really necessary but if there’s any need the bpip site is available definitely everything must not be added here personally it might look complicated, there’s nothing stressful just open a new tab then search bpip.

I meant it wasn't relevant until managers started using it as S.I unit to measure good posters from the average ones in their campaigns. Seems some of them are not longer using this factor.
