Whenever you see a quality post then give out some sMerit to that poster because he/she has contributed QUALITY to this forum.
Just do your duty by giving sMerit and that's your contribution to the forum as well. Quality poster + Merit sender = Quality Contribution for this forum.
In other words, we have to encourage the quality posters by giving sMerit so that he/she can keep up the quality posting and contribute to the forum.

Do not give sMerit to those posts which you think are spam and shitpost. Simply we will be going to discourage the spammers and shitposters.

These are the only Do's and Don'ts for the Merit system.

But in future, we will also be going to see that some people will abuse the system by giving sMerits to their favorite persons instead of giving sMerits to quality posts.

It still won't help system/mods to control the junk posts from BOUNTIES..
They will still spamshit and will just use alt to add merit to his own account that wanted to rank up.
the mods will overwhelmed by ID farmer that will open new thread that basically anything that they can post to gain merit.
and almost all of the local region section is the most overwhelmed section so far..

I hope you add not just Demerit button for moderators but also a demoted button/system..
So all the bounty hunter can post high quality post not just shitpost and repeating shit over over over and over in a thread without have them read all the replay has been made.. basically they just changing words.

Exemple: in a thread and there is a replay like this
"Wow that so cool, you are awesome people" - by someone

Then not for long it's going..
"You are awesome people. that so cool, wow." - by shitty
"Wow, you are that awesome people, so cool." - by shitbrain
"Wow Cool people that was so awesome." - by shithead

This method of awarding merit to quality and contstructive post will surely increase the level of good posting in the forum,

i but i do feel that there should be demerit as well for post that are considered "shittypost" or "spamming post" rather than negative trust to such post,

Having some members able to generate merit from nothing to some certain limit, hope this wont be takeb advantage of by such members.

If you can see in the image Theymos has already acquired some merits which will eventually take up some space of your screen. If you acquired too much merit from different user here it will be annoying to the eye and obviously Theymos will do something about it and will have to add minimized option or hide.

Hypothetically, abuse from user will happen for creating such group in the following months or so, and another "great chase" will start to happen leaving yet another hard job for DT`s and moderators.

It may seem viable, but there are still some flaws towards the new merit system and for sure abuse will come along next to it.

People are so innocent when thinking that someone will give Newbies and Junior Member or even Member some sMerits. LOL

Still have the same advantages as before?

Why wouldn't we?

Yes, wait. Patience, please.

There are sources which arent natively english, thus local boards are also considered for merit rewards.

I find it difficult to conclude that there is something missing because Gavin chooses not to participate in this forum?   Does he want to vouch for Craig Wright?  Or does he want to fabricate some emergency that bitcoin is broken if an immediate blocksize limit increase is not accomplished?  No one is stopping him from participating, but if he is spreading disinformation and making up shit, then likely peeps here are going to call him on that, no?

Yeah, likely easy money from airdrops or Segwit2x  
P/S: Try to make a selling sMerits topic and you will get easy 5 sMerits from others.

I clicked on reply on page 3, any body posted in the other 20 pages are denied from receiving a merit point. why complicating things for us? no body has the time to read every post on every page. what if half of my posts are my personal opinions?
What if people don't like me?

This will not stop shitposting, this could become some sort of endorsement for some projects, if members with high merit points post in a thread.
A lowlife beggar like me could never receive a merit point, not because of post quality, because no body reads my posts a.k.a constantly begging people to buy my activity tokens a.k.a stay tuned for merit tokens with more features.

Quickseller, I can help you to demerit Lauda, if she is a newbie, she would be a vulnerable kitten, that's where I'd come to save her and hopefully marry her.
It is time for me to forget about prostitutes, no merit could be earned being a fan.
