Happy birthday to merit,
Especially thanks to theymos implement merit system. Its was a good step to reduce spam from forum. Although we are not yet achieve the goal but very near of the goal. I have joined forum after the merit system and achieved up to Sr. Member and I believe I can reach the next rank. I believe community got few good things from merit system.
1. Reduce spam from forum.
2. Motivate user to make quality post.
3. Reduce account farming.
4. Got lot of useful topics due merit system. Merit encourage to make useful and suggestional topic.
5. Merit determine user standard.
I believe we will achieve merit goal once a day.

Nice, for this one year I manged to rank up twice 
It was controversial in the begging but it seems that it does this for what it was designed for, to stop the new spammers from ranking up.
It was a good move, hope to see more good moves from theymos.

Happy birthday
we both did it... but I've even thought three times... think we got the most out of it
but it was already connected with a lot of effort compared to users who have been there a little longer.
and all the best to the system that gave me some sleepless nights
//edit: hey r1s2g3 you three times buddy
Nice, for this one year I manged to rank up twice

While I would disagree that it has already reached it's goal, happy birthday nonetheless.
Happy birthday merits - I didn't realise that the genesis merit was laid so long ago. Since then we have seen to introduction of the HalfWit blocks - the half witted sig spammers are finding that the lack of merit is blocking their promotion. We've also seen a couple of halvings as the initial merit shower is being reduced. There have also been some new wallets as the merit sources increase. The mempool for the merit beggars listing their posts in the donation threads seems to have reduced dramatically, and I think this is good. The addition of the extra merit sources, especially in the local boards, has improved the decentralisation.
The creation of merit whales with over 1,000 earned merits, has given the legendaries with IMO merits a target to help them to improve their posting.

Happy 1 year of merit ruin my life 
It was nice being part of this system, and proved to myself that this isn't a hindrance for me to rank up
Cheers Happy Birthday!
On January 24, 2018, the merit system was introduced on the forum.
The first merit was sent by theymos to AdolfinWolf at 10:12:21 PM
for the post in the thread What is the function of the "Merit" score?
This is a merit transfer transaction:
In my opinion, the merit system was a salvation for the forum. At this time many account farmers were posting garbage in order to increase activity and rank up their alt accounts. The administrator found an excellent solution.
Undoubtedly, the merit system has reached its goal. Nowadays only members who make useful posts, create interesting threads and contribute to the forum successfully rank up to higher positions. Since all merit transfer transactions are public and transparent, a lot of account farmers and merit sellers were spotted and red tagged by trusted members.
Thank you @theymos, and happy birthday, the merit system!
