The system of merit doesn't work. My example.By design, rewarding the user with merit occurs when it will be useful for the forum and all cryptocommunity as a whole. A good comment or an interesting topic - and other users will gratuitously appreciate the efforts of such a user. It doesn't work! Where money keeps rolling, there is no place for philanthropy. Merits don't give simply just like that. Merits are selling.
Yes, you must write a good comment or create a useful post. But tentatively you must agree with the seller of merits, that he "appreciates" your efforts. Otherwise, your topic will drown in the world of spam BTT. Youll say that's not so? Well, let's play this game.
Here's an example of my topic, that I created specifically for this experiment.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5027519.msg45 .. - English forum
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025367.msg45 .. - Russian forum
If after this article they aren't removed, you will see them. The topic in the Russian thread was listlessly supported. Apparently, its difficult for the philistine, who came to do the signature, but he's not using his head for thinking. The topic in the English version simply drowned without the attention of society.
I'm confused about what point you're trying to make here. Are those your threads? Are you complaining that neither of them were merited? The English one is barely coherent and looks like it's just been auto-translated or even plagiarised from somewhere.
ps If you have something to say. talk on the topic. I specifically divided the text into the subtopics, for more convenient to discuss
It doesn't matter how much you divide something up when your English is so poor that nobody can tell what point you're trying to make exactly. I'm sure you could have got your point across in a sentence or two instead of needlessly waffling on.
Tell me how close I am with my translation: "I'm a bounty farmer and I now can't claim bounties because of the god damn merit system", or have I missed the point completely?
Being a newbie you cant do anything!
A newbie can post in the exact same way a Legendary account can. The only difference is the time limit between posts, but there's nothing stopping a Newbie making an exemplary post. The problem is they rarely do or at least are drowned out by the thousands of Newbie/Junior shitposters who come here every day just to make some spam to get paid and that's what we need to try curb.
And it's not about a signature.
No, it almost certainly is. What else has changed since September 17 other than you now need one merit to get a signature? Nothing. And that's why you're mad. You now have to make the strenuous task of getting one solitary merit over god knows how many accounts you have and that's why you're annoyed.
Your system sucks and it should be changed.
It sucks for the bounty abusers like you. What other system do you propose to stop all the abuse? I'd love a better system to be proposed as the one merit one doesn't got far enough.
I'm still a newbie to this forum because I just can't even read the posts that are written in, as you put it, the sandbox. People just typing messages. mindlessly, meaningless. In my view, the forum is communication, that brings pleasure or benefit. There is no communication. And I'm a too pedantic person to write any mindless nonsense. I need meaning. And two posts per day limited so much. When I see posts like: "a good article, I'll keep that in mind...." it seems that it is written by the Children of Sun, who are all happy and who don't have their own opinions. But no, it is written by people, who want to improve rank and don't want to think about the messages. I can't stop thinking. I don't buy Merit fundamentally. Cooper-member is also not going to buy. Vicious circle.
And this innovation is like an easy way to earn extra money. All became newbies, and a signature is necessary to continue to conduct, consequently, people are forced to buy merit or Cooper-member. Perhaps it's not so, but from the outside, it looks like so.
I take it this is op's alt account too? Funny how Julia instantly turns up in here to back you up and you both talk barely coherent nonsense and say "cooper-member" in the exact same way:
Yes, there's Cooper-member.
Cooper-member.
Julia also turns up in that thread you linked to in the op.
I'm guessing you have a shit load of accounts and the merit system has fucked you over from being able to get paid to post, right?
Is this another of your alts:

It received four merits. Send two of them to the Uesly_Future account, then he merits him one back. I'm sure this is just the tip of the shitberg here.
