After ~10 months I can say merit system (imho) is working fine, the level of spam lowered and more & more users are getting banned everyday (autoban at https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php).

You have rightly said that since the introduction of the merit system, this forum has improved greatly. Because there are many spamer, those who have increased their ranking without any good post, and since the system has become more aware of those spamer and for which all are going to give good post on this forum.

So will the useable smerit get destroy every month if we don't use them.

smerits do not get destroyed (or decay) for regular members unless the member is a merit source member.

Currently, there are only 120 merit source members. See this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources

Merit source members have to spend their source smerits every 30 days in order to regenerate more source smerits. If they do not spend their source smerits within 30days, then the source merits will not regenerate until 30 days after they spend their smerits.

I'm very glad to learn that if we get sMerit points, then we can keep it without any problems. My some friends said that if I receive any sMerit by making high quality post or article, then I need to use it. Otherwise I will lost my all sMerits for ever. But after I see your reply regarding this, I understand properly.

Hello , I am unable to understand why people who have very high rank are getting merit for their reply , i am little curious.

Brothers, you know that sMerit is used for those who showcase many nice and helpful things before us. Those members of high rank who give sMerit if they do not see the quality of the newbie, then the next newbie will create spam for this forum by creating a small, unusual and helpless post, to earn sMerit. For this reason, higher rank members didn't like to give sMerits to newbie or lower rank members.

I think it would be better to have a KYC system to open a new account.Then you can not make spamming account. I think this is good comment for the site.

Cmon kyc for a forum? Do you give your data like that for free to anyone else?
Your data are money on the blackmarket, and if the forul will be hacked again?

Yes, I totally agree with you. If we submit our personal data on public then there have lot of risk with our personal security. So many negative persons have in crypto world and they will blackmail us for money or for others way. So, we need to focus on only quality post and spamless helpful post to make this forum more clean and good.

One of the most problem why people can't get merii it his own lazyness. Don't strive reading interisting information about cryptocurency world. But create many theart : how to get merit or give me one merit please. I don't accuse this people but if you really wont to recive merit , you should'n think about it and just be usefull and friendly for another members.

Absolutely right that so many peoples didn't get any merits because of their lazyness. There are many people who want to get more than just a little effort and they give wrong answers without seeing what others post because of laziness. In my opinion, this forum will not bring any good for them and they will not get any merits. So we have to avoid laziness and have to respond carefully to another post, so that others are beneficial.

The forum looks much cleaner when Newbies are unable to wear signatures, and forum users have to get 1 merit at least to be ranked up to Junior Member rank beside satisfying postcounts.

You are right, this forum has been very much improved since the changes in merit requirements .Those who always post low quality, they are now forced to post better quality and for which this forum has been spamless and clean and newbie become very careful about good quality post to get merits to rank up.

Quote from: Malam90 on September 19, 2018, 07:46:19 AM

New ranking system is actually helpful for getting quality post form the new members ( Newbies). All Jr.Members who have been demoted to Newbies for their 0 merit, can now purchase Cooper Membership with small fees to participate in signature campaign.

I think it is better to post quality post to get merits and rank up again. As I know so many projects don't like to accept "copper member" for their signature campaign. So there have not so much bengits if they purchase "Copper membership".

If so. No matter what contribution I make, I will always be a novice if I do not have merit. And my account became useless. Because almost no one spends time giving merit to newbie. Cry

Don't worry mate and don't lost your hopeless. Cause if you deserve any merit points then you will get it. But for this you need to make good and high quality helpful post. You know so many spammer trying to post smaller post to get activities to rank up their accounts. But after merit system they are not able to rank up their accounts by helpless low quality post. So work hard and don't lose your hope.

To get 1 merit this is really very difficult in this forum. i have join in this forum for 4 months, i take an active part in this forum but it's too difficult for me to get merit. pls kindly help me Embarrassed

I can see your most post was on bounty thread and your others post was not so much good quality. That's why still you didn't receive any merits. If you really wanna get merits then you need to make good helpful post not only on bounty thread. Hopefully you will work hard in future.

Quote from: doannguyen039 on September 17, 2018, 09:05:56 AM

As you may know, most of us are newbie in this field.
So we don't have too much experience to create some quality posts. We will try to contribute to the forum in our capacity. Wish you simphethise!

Yes you are right that the number of newbie in this forum is much more. Because they would post to participate in bounty without having a good post. So they could not earn any merits. You can try to create good and better posts, which will benefit everyone and that will obey all the rules of this forum. And you may know that there is nothing in this world that can not do people. So you have to work hard to make good quality post.

Good luck
