Topic: Merit & new rank requirements - page 37. (Read 167726 times)

Going back to 4k weekly.

I think it is just that everyone has got used to it now it has been in place so long.

The same thing happened when Activity was first introduced.

There were lots of threads and complaints about it until everyone forgot was it was like before the change.

Sooner or later, they will come back, and dump their shitty complaints.

Maybe... when cryptocurrencies shoot high and the I-wanna-get-rich-fast people get back to the forums, many of them realised they are stuck in low level accounts and others just being new here, they might come back here to bash the system or beg for merits.

Unfortunately, we're still getting spams and shitposts from multi-account holders who were given free merits to all their old accounts.

But I imagine that the situation would be much worse if we didn't have the merit system at all.

As promised, I keep updating the very inactive topic in Meta.
Once upon a time, it was the hottest place in Meta, so we should keep it updated.
Sometime later, it will return to be the hottest one again, I believe.

Yesterday, I earned my 200th merit, so it is the right time to do something.

Here is a time-series plot of my received merits, from 28/2/2018 to 19/2/2019

just advising those users begging should stop make use of GIVEAWAY THREADs instead.

Please explain to me why you're PM-begging for Merit. I don't leave red tags for that, but only a neutral.

merits you have to earn yourself here. if you post good and interesting
topics merits also come by themselves. only those who are good in school
get into a higher class. so it should be . and if you are big you also
have to work to get money. that's real life. there's nothing for free

Probably

Please explain to me why you're PM-begging for Merit. I don't leave red tags for that, but only a neutral. If you've begged others too, you're likely to receive red trust.
I'll also report the PM to Admin, chances are you get banned for a while.

I'm posting this here as a Reference post:

Checking your post history, you're not even the worst spammer, so you may actually stand a chance. Good luck.

Sure it didn’t end up in one of your Alts ?

What happened?
