I'm sorry, I really had to ask this question. The post links to be shared are they post links of the op(e.g my post links only) or people's post links that they think deserves to be merited? Or both? Because from what I can see on the thread lot of people are dropping links to only their posts which I think is not what hugeblack stated in his thread.
I think you are meant to share other people’s post that you think are worthy of being merited on your local board but i think you can still share a link to your post if you think it’s deserving. If the posts you share are quality enough and have impressed the OP you will also receive merit as a reward for sharing the posts.
I think the members who are sharing their own posts are don’t understand the rules properly because if that’s the case everyone will only be interested in sharing their own posts but if hugeblack considers their applications then i think it’s ok to share you own posts too.
@Hatchy, @hugeblack has already clearified that aspect on the rules her
You are allowed to add topics/replies from any user as long as they are in the same local board.
- You may get Merits if the links you shared here are useful.
It is clear that you share your own link and also share links of other members but must be from your board. So @Nheer does that share there links are not wrong either.
Great initiative!
But, I haven't seen anyone except Ratimov remaining active in such an initiative. I hope you are available with the amount of sMerits to dispatch them when someone is eligible. It has been going on for quiet sometime now, when a Legendary comes up with such an idea and fails to honor it. In the end they always struggle or they come up with wired answers to justify their failure or won't respond. I am hoping that you don't fall into that category, if you do then forget you would gather good reputation from users like me. I would encourage others like me who are lower in rank to follow this thread if I see you active and giving excuses.
Thanks.
There are other merit sources that actually have such initiatives currently on,
The Sceptical Chymist and
fillippone have there’s. Although some fell short I think with this initiative by hugeblack there will be reduction in traffic at there’s. This one is also for local boards that have less merit circulation so it actually narrows it down. Although this is an extra work for OP but I think he is capable of making it work effectively
