Topic: what is going on with the forum - page 2. (Read 462 times)

Life is not fair man. Many high rank members are shitposters but they have been active in this forum for a long time. So when theymos release merit system, they automatically received merit equal to their rank. Forum is too crowded and staff members can't handle all member activities, for a better forum, we need member's awareness, good attitude.

I agree to this part. Yeah, its true. It doesn't mean that a particular post is a "shitpost" just because it has no Merit. Some post are just being ignored by other Members that's why they can't notice that a certain posts is meritous.

There are 3 reasons (in my opinion) why a particular post can't receive a Merit.
1. Post being ignored.
Like what I said, some post are just being ignored that why it has no Merit. Although a particularly post is a Good Quality Post or Informative, if readers ignore it, then it won't really receive a Merit.
2. Because it is posted in Megathreads.
If you're one of those Member who always liked to post in Megathreads, your posts won't really receive Merit. It is hard to read post in such threads mostly if the thread is flooded with spam posts. Most of members who give Merits for Good Quality Posts doesn't visit Megathreads too much, that's why there is a possibility that no one Merit your post there. But sometimes, some Members do.
3. Spam post.
This is the common reason why no one Merits a particular post.


Besides that, about the other thing you were trying to say.  I can't barely understand what you want us to understand. Or I'm just a little lazy to understand it.

I thought many times about making this topic but i said to my self sure why not?!  It's a free country I think serious discussion is the way to go for this topic first I like the merit it helps improve this forum it stopped farming accounts and ranking up became for the worthy members only but unfortunately it got the power in the hand in some
people who don't deserve it  some people think the self's helping by attacking any member they think he (shitpost) and if you look back at their post history you will find like 4000 or 7000 posts are none of those weren't shitpost? Or unnecessary written? I don't like to spam the forum so I only make 1 or 2 posts a day I know my posts aren't of great quality some people would call them shitpost
I think the ranking up should be in the hand of the admins and moderators they rank up who they see fit with keeping the merit system, of course, I am sure that some legendary members are helping the forum by attacking spammers,  account sellers, scammers.. but some of them have gotten way of board they want to invent a new system and start judging people and I don't think that's cool.
 i hope am n't writing Chinese with all due respect, of course, it's total English in here
by the way i don't look for merit don't care about getting merited or ranking up and i am open to discussion any post attacking my personality will be reported to moderators thank you
