Lately, it’s been looking like this place is just for the high-ranking members, especially those in DT. Let’s be real, how do you explain someone sharing a random image and bagging 10 or 20 merits, while someone putting in the effort with solid posts gets nothing? It’s like Theymos isn’t paying attention to what’s happening. The forum is slowly losing its purpose. Is this what Satoshi had in mind? A space where newbies can’t grow unless they ‘farm’ merits? Meanwhile, the DT guys are just cycling merits among themselves and adding each other to their trust lists.
I’ll say this, though: if you’re paying attention, you’ll see what’s happening. There are only few people who take their role as merit sources seriously. And don’t even get me started on the local boards, especially the Naija board. It’s a mess. Honestly, no merit source should even be assigned to that board because it feels like those in charge are using the merits for personal gain. The only ones we can really trust are Cryptobrainboss and Mia Chloe, and funny enough, they’re not even merit sources.
A few weeks after Theymos gave us a merit source and local board moderator, the guy shared a few merits for a while, then disappeared. Since then, no one knows how he distributes his merits. Is it a cartel? Feels like it.
Theymos, this is for you. The forum is turning into a political game. Are you a politician now? Because allowing this nonsense to continue says a lot. The ball’s in your court."
First and foremost, you are not speaking on behalf of the Naija community, rather your personal opinion. We in the Nigerian community are happy with the progress we have made as a local board. The Naija local board have been a very active local board, hence the reason we asked for additional merit source and a mod which were graciously granted by Theymos, so it is not appropriate for us to start complaining now as that will will be seen as being ungrateful.
Furthermore, we just had a cooking contest organised by Mia Cloe and another contest by our mummy @SmartGold01. There were lots of merits shared by both the Naija merit sources and others from other boards who came to support those contest. Did you participate in those contest and they refused to give you merits? Or you feel merits will be shared to you by just being docile in the local board?
Next time think properly before making this kind of posts please because it does not make sense at all. Engage actively in the local board and they will give you merits.
