I know that it is not good to accuse higher ranks for a bias giving of merits. It is not good to generalize high rank users for the bias of giving merits.

Then why do it? This is just yet another pointless thread whining about nothing and we've been over these arguments dozens of times.

awarding of merit standards will be bend for a bit even if there were mispelled words and grammatical error.

So we shouldn't give merits if there's misspelled words or grammar errors? I think I've met very few people online who have perfect grammar (including myself) and don't make typos every once in a while, but that doesn't change the content of the post. It's the effort and point of the content we should be taking into consideration. As long as a post isn't pure spam or crap then it's up for being merited. Merit is just a system to stop the worse of the worst from rising though the ranks and it works in that respect. Sure, it's not easy to get merit but I don't think it should be given to people just for bashing away at a keyboard.

The users of this photo had a good post and recieved lot of merits and I do not know if there were any lower ranks could be able to receive lots of merits like this.

Some context would be nice. What are we meant to do with three contentless posts? They could be the best or worst posts in the world for all we know and you may or may not have an argument here but context is key.

Edit: Roll Eyes

at the ones you have used as examples. Those are all threads that do deserve lots of merit. I think if a newbie account would have posted them they would have got a similar amount. Believe it or not there are actually newbies that come here and make good to great posts. They're just dwarfed by the gazillions that come here and have no clue what they're meant to be doing here. I've literally seen dozens of newbies come and there first post is what do I do here, or how do I earn, because they've literally just been told they can earn good money here but have no idea what bitcoin is or how they can get it for free, and that's why we need the merit system to curb that behaviour from those sorts of users. If they came here and made a worthwhile thread then I'm sure they'd get appropriate merit, but they usually don't. Stick around and contribute and you'll likely get some pretty fast.

Thus, bias giving of merit will only apply to high ranks users. And if you are a newbie trying hard to start a thread for merits then you will end up getting a lot of negative reply. I have seen some post started with newbies or lower ranks in their merit related post and definitely get a negative feed back.

Negative feedback as in comments? Well, yeah. People are tired of the same old merits make the rich get richer and people only give them to the friends bullshit just because they haven't received any merits. 9 times out of 10 they don't deserve them.

NEWBIE + GOOD POST = IGNORE
HIGH RANK + GOOD POST = MERITS

I wish this would fit in my personal text.

Kinda ironic that you complain about bias but use a very biased selection of threads to complain about without direct links (possibly in attempt to obscure the content in them?)

I know, right? Didn't even include the content of the actual posts. It seems at least one of them is for reporting plagiarism. If someone makes a post that exposes accounts copy and pasting then the time and effort is usually considered meritable. Sometimes people post dozens of accounts in one post, but because you conveniently left out the content we can't possibly comment further on that.
