I totally agree that agree that Merit is unfair. Because its unable to produce more merit.
You get 0.5 sMerit when someone Merits you, plus he looses 1 Merit. But what will be when there is not enough Merit to grant, and no one can give his sMerits.
One day all Merits/sMerits will be spent and can not be replenish. That means that the forum will be overcrowded with newbies and Jr. Members with 1000+ activity.

I did not say that system is unfair.
I said, it is totally unfair.
I have the right to complain as much as I want.
I have the right to say my opinion as much as I want.
You don't tell me how to behave, I am old enough.
"Grow up" to your friends, please.
If you want to educate yourself, start from your fundamental rights.

Yeah, it seems that it's your choice to behave in the forum. Contribution to the forum and forum users is key to get merit scores from others. I have spent minutes to look at your post history, most of them are not high-quality, not useful (sorry, it is just my own assessment, maybe wrong); main part of them written in Russian. I don't think that local boad is a good place to get merits. One of your posts got 10 merits from one user, but honestly I guess it is not deserve to earn 10 merit points.I said, it is totally unfair.

Anyway, thanks for your discussion. Hope that you can rank up and get merit legally.
Hi Guys,
This is to share my thoughts on this matter.
1. Merit is to promote quality post.
a. I agree. Post is reviewed for it to be counted as an Activity? why add an additional Merit?
a1. Unfair to the newbie that came to this forum for knowledge and possible earn. Those guys who have been earlier were not required to have this to ranked up.
2. How will you that merits are given only to those with quality post?
a. How will you know that merit are given only to those that deserve it. What if they give it for some other purpose like selling them, or they give it to people they know who doesn't deserve it.
3. How will you compel to who have merit to give to give it out?
Sorry I just feel that the merit system is unjust. Bitcoin is the foundation of our forum. Being decentralized is one of the best features of bitcoin. Adding Merit feels like we are centralizing power to those who are on top!!..

MERIT IS NOT UNFAIR!
I object to what you are trying to say. The moderators just wants us to post better things than ever. We need to post like Nullius so we can earn merits. It's easy as that, the sad thing here is Nullius had no life. We need to forget our life to post like Nullius or get a merit, easy, no sweat.
Improve your post quality, learning more to be more helpful, more knowledgeable; then users will recognize merit is fair system. If not, they will think that the system is unfair one. It's very simple. Please stop complaining about merit system.
Accept its rules, grow up and get merits. That is my advice for someone who think that merit system is unfair.

Merits will never come immediately after your threads published. It will come later, might be hours, might be days, might be weeks. The important thing is you will only have chance to get merit if your post quality is high; and it should be published in appropriate contexts, and it is informative, helpful.

TOTALLY UNFAIR.
I spend almost 3 days to write a very good post in English,
I posted it,
got very good comments,
very positive feedback from everybody
and finally got 1 merit!
It is just not working.
I am not here to earn anything.
I spent my valuable time to help people.
I am newbie in the forum, not in life.
I got a crypto portfolio and doubt if Hero members have ever dreamed.
Hello Administrators, Moderators. Do you know what "Equal opportunities" means?
Are the rules of the Bitcoin forum above constitution and fundamental rights?

Unfair for those new ones,because there are less chance of getting rank up in the future,those lucky people who was here are the only beneficiary of the merit system,especiall those account farmers from the past who managed to have multiple accounts,a lot of people are complaining but im sure theymos will adjust the system because not all the people will rank up.
That dialogue is so last week, we've moved on from that in the merit thread bump posting.

Merit is a little bit like the nirvana, when you will stop searching for and and start focusing on giving to others and to the universe the nirvana will present itself to you.
I must have merit for next "stage" (Jr Member) ?
I think that is unfair
But now i'm Newbie, i will try

Think of it like a college test. You have to do your course work, and you get marked for it. If your marks are high enough, then you get a pass, and you can move on to the advanced course. Is it unfair if you don't pass because you don't do the work, or you submit low quality papers.
I think you misunderstand. Theymos introduced merit as a means to stop spam and shitposts that were commonplace here because people wanted to rank up to get into signature campaigns. He didn't introduce it so that"we are centralizing power to those on top" Yes, i agree, it is harder for people to rank up and some quality posts are not merited, but don't you think that the incentive for people to post quality content is worth more than having to work a little harder to rank up?
I'm new here, and after reading some issues about this merit thing I think it's unfair specially to new blood like me. The objective of putting the merit system is great, but I think they need to put a more balance system on it.
Even if I write something here that is very relevant and worth reading and even if my English is superb, I think I won't really going to get merits from other users because of that. I have seen and read posts and comments that are really good but I don't see that they're getting merits that they deserve.
I just hope they will find a new way or system to identify those who really are worthy to rank-up.

The merit system is very interesting, but it's not my place to talk about it yet because I'm still a newbie now and it has been over 2 weeks. A long way to go to have a need for a merit.
Was it unfair that I gave you a merit for speaking the truth? 
Yeah thanks, maybe you also understand what i mean above . Make us feel free from the target rankings so that we can enjoy all the knowledge that is in this forum.And I also agree with these words for everyone who came to this forum for knowledge,
It's not that hard, there's no rank restriction to read posts. there is no ranking restriction to ask questions that are not understood.
no it wasn't. they are only preventing scammers to have plenty of accounts just posting trash and be able to earn from it.
Let's make it easy for most people reading this. The forum was started to discuss Bitcoin matters, not to rank up to be able to participate in signature campaigns. The signature campaigns came much later and this should be seen as a value added, extra feature.
When you contribute constructively to this forum in a natural way, you will get rewarded for your inputs and your effort, but when you are "hunting" actively to get those rewards, you might be disappointed.
Just relax and post naturally and if you get merit for that, you should see it as a added bonus, not a right.

Merit is one of the best strategy that created on this forum for rank up because many people of this forum are posting non constructive words. Soo the merit can help a lot by pursuing people to posts constructive posts to get merited.
it might be difficult to get merit and climb up the ranks but i also think it helps regulate the kind of posts written. the quality of posts are better because of the desire to scale up the ranks, that's a good thing because the posts are not only informative buy also constructive, which helps the forum members grow their knowledge
When I began posting on forum, even I had a same feeling that Merit is unfair to newbies but then as I became more active, I changed my opinion. If there is no merit system then some people would spam the sh*t out of forum to rise up the rank ladder. We surely don't need the spams for petty gains of others. Merit does provide check on such spam so I guess, it is fair for this forum.
