A proposal which will claim even a bigger problem for those newbies who can't make such quality post.

A post from Mind Control regarding those on the high rank that uses alt accounta just to farm some merits.

If they can't find all the users who abuse the system then the possibility of theymos to raise it will be on the edge. Therefore a lot of them wont be able too last with their alt accounts and this will also guarantee that the newbies will make alot of effort to grow and improve their quality of writing.

Watch out for Lutpin and Blockeyes Campaigns!

I see my thread was noticed in our local board and I appreciate this recognition Cool

I see my proposal could give bigger problems to Newbies (the real Newbies), however, it's just a fair policy since the forum is seeking for quality posts

Thanks for the credit, but I need Merits. LOL! Cheesy

This is just a joke, don't take this seriously Grin

It is a good idea, though it is also a bad idea. Not all of the jr. Members here in the forum are alt account of a higher rank member. Remember that when you make an account here in the forum, you need to pay for it. Increasing the required merit for ranking up will just create more complains.

I am quite aware that Newbies are true Newbies, however, many are just an alt of someone with high-ranked account/s.
Not all accounts made in this forum has to pay, it's only applicable to those people who used an evil IP upon their registration.

This is a private forum, if they are to complain about the forums policy about ranking up then they can always leave.

Mas lalong mahihirapan ang mga jr.members para mag rank up kung dadagdagan ang required merit para sa pagiging member dahil sa 10 lang ang required na para dito madaming new accounts ng mga alts ang madaling nag rank up sa member. In favor ba ang community at si theymos sa mga proposal na ganyan?

Nag-aaccept naman si theymos ng proposal. Pero depende na sa kanya/kanila (kung sino man ang magdedesisyon) kung ito ay makakabuti sa forum o hindi.

Ang point naman ng merit system ay hindi pahirapan ang mga tao kundi para matuto ang mga tao dito na magpost ng may kwenta at nakakatulong na post sa community.

Scary but should be. It's a way of professionalizing the unprofessionals. It will really be a tough one though for us newbies but that should challenge us to learn more about this stuff and prove our worth.

I like your optimism regarding the proposal, accepting changes as a from of challenge. Many might get discouraged but to those people who wants to help and learn will not pay attention to the required merit in order for them to rank up. This is because, like I said in a different thread, ranks are just ranks, merits are just merits.

No bro! Increasing the merit will never be the answer para ma-stop ang farming accounts at posible pa dumama ang pagbebenta ng accounts Dahil madami ang matutukso na bumili dahil Hindi nila kaya na magrank up. Ang sa tingin ko na magandang gawin in theymos ay limitahan ang bilang ng mga newly registered accounts at taasan ang activity at panahon ng pagrank up, bukod Jan wag hayaan na magpost agad ang mga brand new accounts para magspent sila ng pagbabasa at ng maiwasan ang mga paulit ulit na tanong na dahilan kung bakit dumadami ang spam messages na isa pa sa mga problema nila. Dahil din sa allow and newly accounts na magpost natutukso sila na gumawa ng maraming spam messages para din agad magrank up. At dahil nakasanayan nila ang ganitong gawain itutuloy-tuloy na nila.

There will be no concrete policy that could stop account farming 100%, unless theymos will impose that alts will be banned or make bounties and signature campaigns be banned.

In time, mauubos din ang mga sMerit ng iba. Kung hindi man nila gamitin eh madedecay din sila so sino ang magbebenta ng merit? Merit sources? Hindi ito mangyayari kasi si theymos mismo ang pipili ng magiging Merit Source at kung may mapatunayan mang nagbebenta ng merit eh siguradong red trust agad.

I see many Jr. Members easily rank up to Member because the required Merits is only 10.

Pagdating dito wala namang problema kung trinabaho talaga nila ito sa pamamagitan ng pagcreate ng mga quality posts.

Wala naman talaga, pero mas maganda kung daragdagan upang machallenge ang mga Newbie at Jr. Member para magpost ng makabuluhan at hindi para lang madagdagan ang post nila para sa signature campaign o para mag rank up.

And I can see many merit farming (an example:
see here).

Ito sa tingin ko ay kasama sa mga dahilan kung bakit may merit, para mahuli ang mga farming ang dishonest person.
Over all walang Hindi tama sa 10 merit para magmember ang isang accounts. Ito ay napakapatas na systema at mainam na panghuli sa mga madaya and abuser although Hindi parin lahat but at least may nagyayari at nare-restore paunti unti ang kalinisan ng forum.

Wala namang hindi tama sa 10 merits, wala namang nagsabing mali ito.

Ang nakikita ko is that dapat magkaroon kahit papano ng merit source ang bawat local forums since hindi naman lahat ay native english speakers.

Dapat balance ang allocation ng merit kahit hindi ito nasa English dahil sa mga local thread mas madaling iparating sa kapwa natin ang impormasyon na nakaTagalog at kung ito ay nakakatulong rin sa kapwa natin e dapat mabigyan rin ito ng merit.

Ang labanan kasi sa labas e pagalingan maipresenta ang iyong opinion na may saysay at makabuluhan sa English na nakakabawas sa change ng kapwa natin na earn ng merit bukod sa sarili nating board. Nababasa ko rin kasi dito sa thread natin na may mga nahihirapan makaintindi sa mga pinaguusapan in English na hindi sila ganun kagaling na makaintindi at makareply agad sa mga threads outside ng local board natin kahit na ang 2nd language natin dito sa Pilipinas ay Ingles.

May merit source din sa mga local board, si sir Dabs at rickbig41 ay merit souce dito sa atin. Obvious ito dahil marami akong nakikitang binibigyan nila ng merit partikular si sir rickbig41.

Medyo mahirap na nga maka earn ng merits sa tulad kong Jr. Member. Pero kung sa ikagaganda naman ng diskusyon dito, pabor ako dyan. Yung iba kasi maka post lang, ayos na. 25 merits sakto na sa pagiging member.

Kapag ba nagbigay ka ng merit, mawawala sayo? O baka naman kasi iniisip ng iba na mababawasan sila ng merit kapag nagbigay. Kahit naman yung mga high rank members, naghahabol din ng merits.

Kung mahirap maka earn ng merit, mag basa basa at mag-aral pa tungkol sa crypto, et. al. Salamat din at nakita mo ung perception ko regarding my proposal.

Hindi nababawasan ang Merit. Basta kapag may merit ka eh sayo na un. Ang nababawasan sayo kapag nagbigay ka ng merit ay ang iyong sMerit (spendable Merit).
