In this case, i do get your point... But what if somebody that used to be very active and a real asset of the forum took a leave of absence just before the merit system was introduced and wanted to come back right now? Wouldn't he/she be entitled to the same perks as the rest of us instead of being stripped from his/her merits just because he/she didn't log in for 5 years? There are plenty of cases of really helpfull people that just went away, but they used to be super helpfull. I'd still like those old accounts to be able to wear a sig, even if they haven't posted for years... And if they come back, they should still have their merits, their signature, their rank,...

If you want solutions, there are solutions. The forum could put a signature ban until people earn 10 merits and in those cases that you are saying, those who returned to the forum would be able to earn 10 merits in no time. They would have their merits and rank intact and their clickable signature right away.

But i do get your point that it's frustrating to see people that have never earned a single merit spamming just because they have been a member for so long that they didn't have to work for their merits... I'd personally just hope that such a person gets banned or receives red trust sooner or later, that way their spamming days should be over...

The guy in the example has red trust, but it serves him to get paid to write garbage, although I don't want to focus on that as I said before.

Thanks for that. I am going to report him.

Apart from wearing a scam gambling casino site, the fact that the user has not earned merit in the last 5 years is a clear indication that the person is making meaningless posts that may result in bans.

The question is whether there are few to no reported posts by that specific user, allowing him or her to be exposed to banning, which could serve as a stepping stone toward improvement. Or the forum has become less stringent in dealing with these types of people.

Staff do not want to hand out bans for unconstructive posts but if we feel that you as a user are continually making very poor or unsubstantial posts due to your paid signature the following bans will be issued:

First offence: 7 days
Second offence: 14 days
Third offence: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban

The forum is free, the campaign manager can decide whether to accept such participants or not. The more shitposters the manager accepts the lower reputation the campaign and respectfully the project has.
If the site is a scam one then it's completely unsurprising to see that.
Remember that the forum moderators do not deal with the scams, as proving one is a hard procedure. Uti cerebrum and all will be good.

Next time you better respond to what I am saying and not something else that has nothing to do with what I am saying. I'll make it clear to see if you can see it:

I will leave aside the fact that he promotes a known scam site which as we all know is not moderated in this forum.

I am not talking about signature campaigns or 1Xcrap.

I'm talking about that kind of people who have not been able to earn a single fucking merit in 5 years should not be entitled to wear clickable signatures by the simple fact of their registration date.

Let's see this profile: S A KHAIR

I will leave aside the fact that he promotes a known scam site which as we all know is not moderated in this forum.

What strikes me is that in 5 fucking years he has not been able to earn a single merit and here he is getting paid for writing garbage because the account was created before the merit system was implemented.

I think consideration should be given to either derank such accounts or give them a signature ban until they are able to earn the 10 fucking merits that enable them to wear clickable signatures, as it happens to accounts that were created after the merit system was introduced.

To earn 10 fucking merits in 5 years is clearly achievable even for a low-quality poster who cares to contribute positively to the forum.

Edit: in light of the discussion, I think the solution would be to remove all airdropped merit as NeuroticFish suggests.

Edit 2: you can find many more morons on page 2.
