yeah, I also prefer to do the 1 smerit thing. So I see that that naturally comes with difficulties when you have a lot to distribute as a merit source.
Sometimes I just thought, and probably users like nutilda as well, "why is JJG meriting this so obviously merit farming account?"
Which might be not so obvious when you have to go through many new accoutns and decide if to merit

It seems to me that nutildah likes to be a bit of a drama queen, and perhaps even thinking that "he's got it all figured out," and sure, perhaps there are advantages to publicly calling out matters rather than trying to go about it in some kind of a less public and/or diplomatic way.

So, yeah, members have rights to "call out" other members publicly instead of reporting (or maybe supplementing their attempts to report such members), yet it seems that he's trying to be too imposing, and yeah, sure maybe it helps for some merit sources to see how nutildah or others might whine about their smerit sending practices, so whatever he is doing is not completely without affects on how some source members might reconsider their smerit sending practices... and you never know, on the margins too, there might be some ways that nutildah complaining might affect some other more credible members to complain and then theymos might decide to take some action to attempt to address the issue as it had been presented.

Perhaps? perhaps? or there could be some Streisand effect, too... depending on how matters might evolve. I have frequently thought that part of the solution would be to have more merit source members, yet I doubt that would even resolve the problem that nutildah is trying to get at and for some reason he thinks that ongoing whining about me might someday have more benefits rather than disadvantages.. .. .since surely there are some members who agree with his position, so it is not like his fantasy ideas are completely without support... and sure ever once in a while I like to call him a dweeb or to tell him to fuck off, but if I were to only stay with that kind of a response, then some members might start to agree with him more because they believe that I am required to make some kind of a further explanation in regards to his ongoing and fairly regular inflammatory attacks implying that I am being abusive or crossing some kind of an imaginary line (that's in his retarded head) that I am being too liberal in my smerit sending and supposedly not engaging in enough due diligence or whatever.. fantasy requirements he would like to informally impose since theymos is seeming to not inclined to be giving nutildah an smerit Czar position (at least not so far, lucky us (meaning the forum))..

I think instead of focusing on the way somebody complains and the affect it might have or not, it's more important to find out the reason why people feel the urge to complain.

The WO content has changed quite a bit when compared to the time before the merit system.
OGs came here (and some are still here) since 2013-14 for the old style WO, and not for consuming the low IQ copy paste shit of 3rd world merit farmers who need a second income.

And frankly that's also nothing what I like to see in my beloved WO!

I always enjoyed the intelligent and diverse input of highly individual crazy people that were buying Bitcoin when everybody laughed at them. Yes the freaks, and I quote, some of God's own prototypes. Some high-powered mutants of some kind never even considered for mass production...

That's what made the WO so special for me. And every step away from that makes me feel sad...

well it is tough bitcointalk has allowed many poor people not be poor due to signature policy.

So to hate JJG for giving merits to farmers is kind of mean spirited.

Also BTC was p2p not hodl

look how I feel doing p2p and using coins to pay while not doing hodl as a choice.

Look at my signature address it handled 700 coins over 10 years time.

One could argue the WO hijacked BTC due to hodl hodl hodl hodl mindset.

and now wants to fuck little third worlders out of some small amounts of coin via farming.

Sounds like uptight asshole take the ladder of success away from them mindset.

...

You say suck it up, so some poor people with absolutely no interest in conversations about BTC can shitpost here, in order to get some coin?

Why do they have to shitpost here in the first place then?
You can just give them the BTC if you want to help them. Don't destroy part of the WO for it !

Most of these 3rd world farmers have no interest in BTC. They just wanna improve their lives. Why do you let them do this meaningless work (shitposting)? Sounds like quite some condescending supremacist shit to me...

Worse than some rich guy who is proud of generously giving some poor migrant the "opportunity" to scrub his toilet. I mean that's at least some productive work.

If you wanna do wannabe virtue signalling do it without destroying things people like.

Same goes for passing coins around... why destroy parts of the WO for that?

Such wannabe moral arguments make no sense, sorry.

okay you are right who am i to judge you or anyone that does not like a cut and paste from x.
