One idea/question about the Merit system, I think many are hoarding their sMerit while waiting for a genious post or can't spend any because they don't have some anymore. Wouldn't it be better to give everybody a few to spend every month to get a flow into the system? I have often had the case that I would like to have given away sMerit if someone helped me, but perhaps not wrote the ultimative post. Or is it against the system to reward a helping person?
Nice idea but then there's the following problem,
If obtaining sMerit become a matter of time, then spammers/bots/etc with high rank will also become a matter of time.
All they'd need to do would be to shitpost with multiple accounts and then use their accounts to merit themselves.
Makes sense to you?
Yes that makes sense, but the Admins just have to watch if somebody gives away Merits on a non legit way ... like they do now.
I have doubt!!!!!
So it means i need to have/gain 500 merits to get ranked up?
You are not alone, I should have been a Senior Member 5 days after they implemented the new Merit system, it is as it is now. Be proud to be a Senior Member already.
