Providing a good posting quality is essential to keep Bitcointalk’s role as an important source of Bitcoin-related content, with hopefully some new people signing up here and of course, established members staying active and not leaving Bitcointalk.
Since Merit is not limited to prevent spammers from joining Bounty Campaigns, Merit was also introduced to encourage more interesting content and Merit Sources are advised to facilitate and reward good content, while discouraging bad, uninteresting or flawed posts such like Shitposts.
I’ve tried to incentivize a good posting quality in our German local board by my 1miau Merit criteria, where I’ve outlined points resulting in Merits and points making it much less likely to receive some Merits.
Some examples:
Merit Contributions (translated)
You can get massively (more) Merit by following simple rules:
For new topics:
Comments in existing topics:
For new and existing topics:
Anti-Merit-Offenses (translated)
Anti-Merit-Offenses will reduce your chance for Merit massively:
But, since it’s unfortunately not enough to increase posting quality in a meaningful way in our local board, because some people are extremely lazy and saturated from their weekly shitposts rewards, I’m planning a new campaign where I’ll be trying to improve posting quality a lot more.
By doing so, we are planning to increase self-awareness of how a good post should be composed / what should be avoided. We are targeting several points:
Most points are very easy to follow but still some people are far too lazy…….
Translations to local boards

Important:
Part of the task is to review our German and Romanian topics and create your own topic dedicated to your local board, not a translation of the Meta announcement.
As a reference, your topic should be unique and customized for your local board.

Some examples:
Merit Contributions (translated)
You can get massively (more) Merit by following simple rules:
For new topics:
- Presentation of guides / tutorials / insightful topics where many people could be interested in
- Innovative giveaways
Comments in existing topics:
- Is your comment helpful for OP?
- Contributing interesting content and providing insights instead of just rehashing what’s already been said / uninteresting fluff / guessing needlessly
For new and existing topics:
Anti-Merit-Offenses (translated)
Anti-Merit-Offenses will reduce your chance for Merit massively:
- Unnecessary use of "Denglisch".
- Spreading fake news or badly researched content
- Sprading unserious stuff
- Spamming text blocks
- Avoiding nonsense gibberish like "Dachbereich" ("Roof area"), use appropriate wording instead.
- Excessive advertising for dangerous (centralized / scammy) Shitcoins, such like Ripple, Tron or Libra (Facebook)
- Flawed identification of sources (plagiarism) for your quoted content. Please use at least Bitcointalk’s "quote" function and add a link, where the text is copied from. If your article is (almost) entirely copied or translated, add a link and hint above (not below) your topic or it might be considered as „Merit fishing“ (because you’ve just copied / translated the content and it’s not yours.

- Shitposts (according to Relnarien)
- Begging for Merit for shitposts (according to Relnarien)
- Begging for Merit
- Bad / unnecessary Memes or GIFs (we are not in Las Vegas)

- Presenting interesting and well researched content
- Presenting your content in a way that people can read it easily
- Avoiding meaningless shitposts
- Avoiding illiterate gibberish, write in a proper and good local language
- Avoiding useless „Denglish“ / „Romglish“, where English and local languages (German (Deutsch) and Romanian) are unnecessarily mixed. When there’s a certain word existing in your local language, please use your local language for this word, not English
- Avoiding pyramid-quotes
- Avoiding off-topic / trolling / derailing threads
- …
