Topic: My insight about the new merit system - page 2. (Read 357 times)

I understand that system should be in place for the members to put quality post.  My only concern is the credited merits.  It should be based on the current activity and not just the rank.  For those that are close to ranking up are getting the same merit as those that has recently ranked up.  The people who designed the merit system should consider the accumulated activity when they implement the new system.

Give it time - once people get used to the idea of giving out merits, there should be plenty flying around.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes you to a new window to give out your merits. I wish they'd do it with a pop-up form that dissapears when you have sent your merit.

the merit system is actually very good, reduce account farming and spam poster,
we'll see, what merit system is right on target!!

The only thing I don't like is the fact that the new system to work for 4 days before changing rangs. To many it has ruined the plans.

I'm not happy with this system too. The numbers are misleading thing. We see how they sell accounts. Perhaps in the future will sell them to the trust. Every man for himself determines the value of the post. I think that it is enough that the Manager of each company defines for itself the quality of the posts of forum members. Sort of a restriction of freedom and an attempt to legitimize inequality. I don't like this idea.

I totally agree that not everyone is helped by this system and I think majority of the users that are helped here are the well known managers and admins in this forum. The gap between those who want to start and the veterans in this forum just become wider. I feel sad for those jr members who just got an opportunity to join their first campaign and have to deal with this unfair system.

I don't mean any harm nor want to direspect anyone. This is just my insight about the new merit system. The new system is useful for removing spammers, but is not friendly to all mediocre users here.

1. Newbies are affected of all. They are not yet knowledgeable enough to have quality posts thus have low chance of being given merit points. This will make it difficult for them to rank up. Much more difficult and quite unfair since those who started here with the old rules ranked up easily (not to mention those who are already in Sr., Legendary, and Hero).

2. Jr. Members can't put links in their signature.

3. There are speculations of people buying and selling accounts here. It seems like the new merit system made some people in this forum even more toxic and greedy. Let us all be fair guys.

4. Some question other people giving merit to posts of other people saying "Merit points for that kind of post?!". I think giving merit points to other people is purely personal choice. If a person thinks that post helped him even in little ways then let it be. It was his own personal choice. A lot may think that there is nothing so valuable about that post but maybe to the one who gave it some merit, it is.

That's all. I think the old system and the new system have both positive and negative sides. This is just my insight. Again, I don't mean to disrespect anyone. This is my opinion only. If this violated any rule, I am more than glad to take this post down.
