It's not like a regular like you do on facebook or other social media platforms.
At bitcointalk.org, high merit score means that you have high posts quality, it means that you comments are really worth for some people because you got honored for them.
At bitcointalk.org, high merit score means that you have high posts quality, it means that you comments are really worth for some people because you got honored for them.
On those platforms (FB etc) likes are also showing meaningfulness of the post or the page. So it's the same in the start. Difference only in amount. Here if you earned 100 merits you are godlike
and on FB you need 10k+ to be like trend maker, isn't it?)It's going to do a simple thing, high rank is going to have a direct connection with the quality post, you won't find Hero members posting comments with non-sense as it's common to see now.
why not?) what will prevent any member from posting useless post except they don't want to lose their time) the only thing could be done with it now is to make their trust negative, but it's obviously too much. I think paying merit for posting could do something, but it needs much more merits to circulate in system (may be we are moving somewhere there in long term?
)It's not the same, because at facebook high amount of likes would mean high exposure rate, and on facebook you can give unlimited amount of likes to unlimited amount of people, so high exposure rate would directly mean that you are going to have a massive amount of likes.
Unlike on bitcointalk, where a high exposure rate wouldn't necessary mean that you are going to receive a high amount of merit score, you would need your post to be at a high quality as well.
It's much easier to receive likes on facebook then merit scores on bitcointalk.
