Threads like this should be outlawed in this forum, doesn't send a good message and it's beginning to look more like abuse. If you have Merits to give, nothing stops you from giving them quietly to the deserving posts.

1. Posting here, asking for recommendations suggests that you're incapable of deciding which posts deserves Merit, and somehow, needed help to decide. That makes you unqualified to hold those Merits.

2. 23 Merits is way too small to warrant all these punishments, making people scout through posts, just to find recommendations for your mere 23 Merits. Highest you could give is 1 Merit per post for 23 persons, and what do you think that is going to solve?

3. I see this as lacking in sincerity. An attempt to collect more Merits, disguised as a giveaway thread.

If you have merits to give out, give them and get over with it. The only time this could be warranted is if you have thousands of merits and are ready to give 50 or more merits to each person just to help them rank up quickly. Making unnecessary noise for less than impressive number of merits leaves bad test to your credibility.

lol!!! okay i will answer questions and criticisms since you are a "NEWBIE"

1. I am not incapable to decide which post deserves merit i just want to help someone to rank up i needed some recommendations from the trusted community members because they have the list of people who deserves to rank up. and also, these merits were airdropped when the merit system was introduced.

2. way too small? do you think i am giving 1 merit per 1 person? no. what trying to do is give the needed merits to the person i picked to rank up. this is also the reason why i needed the list of persons who were close to rank up to hero member and legendary members.

3. Nope. i just want to do this as a thank you for the bitcointalk admin and their team to recover my account. honestly, i don't want to be given nor receive any merits for this giveaway.

As theymos said in merits page:

There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

I hope you'll be satisfied for my answers for your questions, criticism and allegations against my giveaway thread and thanks for stopping by

with my kind regards,

List of users that collected at least 80% of merits to rank up to hero or legendary (from original list I've deleted those who already rank up). Why i'm not there too? ahh 4 activity blocks me.

Take a look at him:

nc50lc

405

He has lots of technical knowledge that he shere with community if needed. In his last 20 post i've fund at least 5 worth to merit. 16 merits short to become hero.

edit: More complete list of users close to legendary was posted below by DdmrDdmr - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5177856.msg52233498#msg52233498

Yes! I've checked his post history he is deserving to rank up meriting him now.
