Topic: Are Legendary and other higher rank members abusing the Merit System? - page 2. (Read 509 times)

You've been here a week, and every post you've made except this one is a one line shitpost.

The thread you linked to was the thread where merit was announced for the first time. In the first week or two after merit was created, it was given much more liberally because of the initial airdrop. You can quite clearly see this from the merit data graphs created by various members of the forum which I have no doubt you haven't looked at. Using that thread as an example is misleading at best. You can equally go in to any ANN thread and see newbies being merited for simply reporting their Facebook posts.

If you want to earn merits, try posting something a bit more insightful than:

You have not done your homework properly. What I see is that those posts were from very early days of introducing the merit system. That time most of the people did not understand very well before they send merit to each others. I was not there that time however this is a guess using commonsense.

Merit does have a use to appreciate good quality posts, it's not just linked to ranking up. A good quality post does not have to be a very long and highly constructive. A single line comment could be a good post depending on the humor expressed on the comment.

No offence, but ever since i registered into this forum i have been observing some trend in this forum regarding the rewarding of merit to deserving post. I read that forum members should not beg nor pm other people for merits but rather make quality post and merits would be given.

One thing that i have observed is that Legendary members award themselves high number of merits even to any ordinary reply by his/her colleague makes on a topic. i am not against awarding merits to each other if it is deserving but i am just saying it is quite unfair to reward a fellow Legendary member high number of merits for just an ordinary post when another member can make a whole lot of research and just receive some few number of merits.
Just check out this whole thread and consider critically how the merits are being given out

For these two posts i just don't want to comment about it because it seems to me that, the rules are being broken for some people

I know someone may bring this arguement that any individual can give merit according to his/her discretion but the point is Legendary members are not ranking up to any further rank so why dash them that huge number of merits when there are other lower rank members who equally deserve to rank up with some quality post of theirs.
Let's all have a great week
