I don’t know on what forum you have been for the past months but the merit system was created to reduce spam and shitposters, if you give everybody equal right to vote they will use that to make money by posting trash. Mainly using alts, as @bitperson says.
Can't we develop so mechanism like Reddit or other forums where every user have equal right of voting on a post.
No. Equal rights don’t work on a forum where anyone can create an unlimited number of sock puppet alts. 
Hi guys,
Can't we develop some mechanism like Reddit or other forums where every user have equal right of voting on a post.
Bitcointalk was made overcome the problems of the cypto domain arrise due to lack of info where user can help each other.
Now it has become like a system of monarchy Where some members are behaving like a king and announcing like they are throwing food(merit) come and beg to them.
If there could be a method to rate such post I should have down voted these posts. There is no way to resist if higher rank holders misused their positions.
Earlier there were cases where higher raked member banned lowerone and sending them to btc address and asking for donation for removal of ban.
How this merit system will stop the spam it has nothing to do with that. There are discussion selling merits https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/people-might-sell-theyre-merit-points-2825620
In other words this merit is a new way of earning for high ranked members.
Pls save this forum...
