Re: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
I was also considering saying something to Felicity_Tide in regards to his eagerness to get merits after ONLY a short time on the forum, and then when I did a quickie look at his prior posts, they were NOT as bad as some other newbies, yet at the same time, I did not look at them as closely as you did Igebotz, so yeah, that helps in terms of making some kind of an assessment regarding the sense that newbies do not really need to get so excited about whether or not they receive merits - especially since most of the newbies who are quality posters will start to receive merits in more or less natural ways - yet, sure there could be some cases in which the quality of posts of the newbies are being overlooked, and maybe even for reasons that are not their fault, such as their participation in threads (such as local boards) in which merit sources are not participating.. .. so in that regard, I am not really opposed to the idea of drawing attention to posts that might be overlooked, yet I had a similar sense as you, Igebotz, that Felicity_Tide was becoming overly eager.. and also Felicity_Tide's line about his not knowing whether his posts are quality or not seems a bit retarded, even though it does not hurt to have some humbleness in regards to quality of posts, so it is not completely offensive, even though that comment raised some red flags for me.
My sincere apologies to everyone if my statement came in an offensive manner. By saying " I can't really be the judge of whether I make quality posts", it was my own way of saying: I am not perfect in terms of writing something so as to remove any form of pride from my actual statement. Without any denial, I think I might have been anticipating for merit but I haven't done anything illegal to get it either.
Forgive me if am wrong, but It has come to my observation that newbies are expected to do more of questioning rather than creating topics that they might be conversant with. Personally, I would also doubt a newbie if he/she writes something that I did as I clearly understand that so many people can go extreme to get what they want. One of the rule I read in my early days here suggest that writing good post earns you merit, and I literally don't know the forum standard of good post, but choose to continue what am doing and also accepting corrections till I get it right.
Lastly, i like to ask questions, reply post and also create topics that would trigger correction from the forum members and aid me to learn more. In other words, I totally enjoy it when someone point out my error.
If the forum happens to limit newbies in creating post, then I am read to adjust and do more of replying.
. Not a fan of that either.So what's your reply to my previous question
To your question - you can forward your posts or posts of others.
Am always ready to learn from everyone and improve as well. Thanks for the advice.
