Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.

It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.

My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.

You should be happy that you are alone here. If you had a friend and he gave you a merit just because of this reason, both of you might have got red trust.
It is funny to read about your discussion, today the merit is getting more and more high because people have developed very good trust about bitcoin, so they are investing very high so with time it is increasing the merit very high, those who are treating bitcoin as an asset but with gradually they will find bitcoin as high merit currency, price will be high and you will get fast profit from it, it is the need of the time to get involve crypto currency because if you will not dot this then after that you will lose the chance and your surrounded people will get more profit than you.

My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.

It will be unfair for those people who just started right now but those who already are in a high rank then they will just look down on you, merit is only bad if there are legendaries or other high rank that will take advantage of it.
Uh, I don't look down on anyone simply because they're a newbie here.  When I do, it's because a person proves themselves to be an idiot, by shitposting or scamming usually.  You people think you're being persecuted, that you're somehow purified by this persecution--and that ain't the case.

I'd also like to point out that it's the newbie population which is abusing the merit system the most.  Not legendaries.  Legendary members don't need merit points.

Look at where all my sMerits went.  I didn't give them out solely to Lauda, Vod, actmyname, Hilariousandco, TMAN, DarkStar_, Joel_Jantsen, aTriz, Yahoo62278, adroitful_one, and a handful of others that I respect around here but whose names are not coming to me immediately.  Most of them went to users I've never interacted with but whose posts I liked.  

Of course I'm only speaking for myself, but my point is that all the merit abuse I see going on involves low-ranked accounts that are most in need of merit.  Not the high-ranked members you feel you've been somehow victimized by.
today the merit is getting more and more high because people have developed very good trust about bitcoin,
Instant ignore.  You have no idea how poorly written this is.

In my opinion  even me i said that merit system is so unfair for all the newbie member here in forum like me, but i realize if without merit theres a lot of member here will become a high rank and all the earnings that we get in bounty program will decreased because we will be crowded here in forum.

I would say it is fair if actually the backend/moderators delete spam post and  also create a better means for giving merit to persons when quality post are being made. It can be really frustrating for those who really need to rank up and have been making good post. The best way to control spam posts and non-quality post is by deleting them.

I think merit is very fair with the merit of a lot of rank seekers who only focus on the rank to participate in bounty campaign is not able to move again and with the merit is very little to get up the rank up to legendary board administrator is also likely to limit the legendary member. so the conclusion I do not have to be afraid to not get a merit you will surely be able to get merit if your post is unique and useful.
Yes. I do believe we should not give up and need to keep dropping good posts and people will notice them once our posts help them. I understand the feelings of OP though regarding how people keep hoarding merit and how it is unfair to those who are just joining newly.

Nevertheless, we have to understand that this forum is not just only about making money, but to share and learn and if you can easily do that, without worrying ourselves too much about merit, we will always get it.

There's nothing that has advantage that doesn't have some element of disadvantages also. The same is also true for the merit systems that has been introduced. As we known low quality post/topic will be knit in the bud with this introduction, also spamming has been drastically reduced with the merits system. In my opinion it is a good thing for the community. However more effort should be made to develop a system where the merit you get should be solely because of the quality of your post and not just a combination of the quality of your post and friends you have which can also help to increase your merit point.

The change has been implemented and a new feature has been added to this forum and we should appreciate the thing instead of discussing whether it is wrong or not as we can't do anything about it now. It will help to post good topics of knowledge instead of posting anything stupid. So accept the change and be part of it.

i thought it is fair enough to make spammer in this international forum to repent their sinful act that bring nothing into this crypto community. well, you've got the point that people tend to being selfish and not to think about other and for newbie or newcomer is kinda hard for them to rank up. well, life is hard too. keep struggling.

I totally agree with you. The merits principle concerns a real problem: the multiaccount and it is a real scourge for the forum and for the bountys. Unfortunately, I find this system unfair and penalizing, especially for those who were ready to move up... You should have distributed the merits according to the activity and not according to the rank...

yes the merit system is useless
I think it would be better to divide many ranks for each rank. for example: JR member. 1 star, 2 star, .. 5 star. The same is the other rankings. It retains the rules of post and active. instead of applying merit. if they have team teams. They can share merit for each other without regard to post quality. But I think the forum operators have rules and other reasons to apply merit. We will have to obey the rules.

I feel you but merit is for us also for the sake of improvement of this forum we need to follow the new rules. Yes it's so unfair because I'm also who is affected because of merit system. As you can see may activity is for full member but because of merit I'm stock.
Yeah i will agree this is the sake for our own good because the moderator knows how to make an improvement to this forum activities.

Do not worry, with time, you will also make some friends here. BTW it is not a good practice to give someone a merit just because he is your friend.

I definitely agree. Although merit has a good purpose,  but it isn't effective. People who know well each other or those who are close friends will compromise to give merit to each other which I think that's not fair. As my suggestion,  merit isn't supposedly given by other bitcoin users,  but it should be given by the system of bitcoin forum, the moderator of the thread,  or create a team that will give merit to bitcoin users.

Yes that is true because if i were a newbie out here and them the merits are been established, then i will never have a chance to be in my rank now which is a full member and because of that merit i am never be able to go in a senior member which is just a week away back them if just the merits are not come to reality. It is hard to get a merit by other people even you have a wuality post because.me personally iw ipl not even bother to merit someone even if i like his or her post. Give beginners a chance

My friend its not unfair if merit would exist because multi account was started to expand and the leaders do this to prevent it.This is the best thing that they implemented so that we can continue our journey for this crypro currency.

I'm kinda agree. Although i'm already senior member, and it's enough already for me, since i can participate in bounty and such. But i think it will be hard for new member. They can't participate in bounty, and will have a hard time to up their rank. Especially since they're new, they're hardly know anything, and kinda hard as well to make great quality post.
Although the purpose for this system is good, but i think it's making some people have a hard time as well. And moreover, there are still spam posts around.

Dude I understand the pain behind it. But you have to adapt to it.  What I can do for you is,  send me your link that has a quality post.  I ll merit you If it's worth.  For your information, we have many now coming forward to give merits in Service section and others too.  Just keep providing your best.  Good things will follow you.  
At first I felt the same way, but then I realized that a rule is a rule. And this was created because it is a must because we need an additional control for spam. I do not have merit yet but I really try my best to create a constructive posts and i am hopeful that I will acquire my very first merit sooner.
