Re: [Merit] Legendary To Newbies Distribution Concern & Problem!
C'mon lower some standard while meriting newbies.
Oh, hell no. There's no way I'm going to lower my standards, because if every merit source did that and just started handing out merits for mediocre or even shitposts, the merit system wouldn't function as it should. It's not supposed to be easy to earn merits. Never was, and that's the way it should be. By making members work harder to rank up, forum post quality has gone up significantly (IMO) since 2018, and account farming has been decimated.If you don't up your rank on a discussion forum....it ain't a big deal, really.
Don't play yourself! Everyone wants to climb the ranks while also making a positive contribution to the community.What about the merits source, which ignores B&H and Altcoin discussion boards?
I've got both of those sections on ignore, and I'm not apologizing for that. I don't have time for all the B&H bullshit, and though altcoins interest me, the few threads I've created to ask for information have fallen flat. That's likely because bounty hunters and assorted shitposters don't have any incentive to give thoughtful responses--and so my threads kept getting buried under a mountain of threads like "ETH or BTC???". Fuck that.
There is always one good poster in every spammer community; don't burn the community down because of a few bad eggs; try and SORT!! I would SORT if I become a merit source!For start, I don't use "Show unread posts since last visit" option at all and instead I just browse the forum for interesting topic in boards I usually visit. That's pretty much the way I browse all other forums so when I joined bitcointalk I just continued doing the same.
That's my favorite option on the forum.
