without merit how can YOU rate a post as a quality post or how can you appreciate a quality post?

Merit was introduced in 2018, it's been only five years. The forum is around 14 years old and we survived 9 years without any merit point. Haven't we had a lot of quality posters back then? We had. But at that time we had many spammers too who were easily increasing their activities and achieving rank.

When you will actively participate in discussions, you will be visible to others. When you give positive contribution, people will know you and appreciate your work. You don't need some points for appreciation or a post to make to say I appreciate it.

The reason for introducing merit was to filter spammers quickly from people who are at-least giving some efforts in their writing. I am not going to say it worked very well, there are farmers who are always trying to abuse merit to rank up. However with abusing merit you can not continue much far. There maybe some exceptions but the people who made to at-least Sr and above, a lot of them contributed well to achieve it. Without merit these members would still rank up because of their contributions.

How can you rate a post without merit? You can simply reply to it with a message like "I appreciate your post" or "I disagree with your point". Or something along those lines... And then, explain your perspective.

I think it's a straightforward way to express your opinion in online communities.

This is why there is a merit system, though it's not perfect it's actually a way to appreciate a quality post. Other alternatives could be "Thank/Like" as we mostly see on social media. But in the absence of that, a merit system is being used in their place.

But if there is no merit system like you assumed, then there is no way you would appreciate it other than replying to their post to show your appreciation.

That's when we have to make use of merit to rate a post.
But see it this way, without merit how can you rate a post?
because with merit distribution in this Forum that's how we rate quality post...
Without merit is there any other way of rating a post?

There are some quality posts that are not given merit, but if you see the user making such posts, he would have collected merits very well but just that not all his quality posts that can be given merit. If I see a good post, I will know because it would be useful, informative and educative. We learn day by day on this forum, from the post you learn from or that you see it is useful for other people, such posts supposed to be given merits.

From your present rank you of All members should understand that merit is not a 100% criteria for knowing a quality post .other criteria also exist such as
Posting In the correct board
Post presentation
Information and links if necessary
Theses are the main attributes a quality posts should have. They are also the main attributes that differentiate a newbies post from a more established members post. However if a post carries these qualities it will likely get the right attention but if it does not you can check out these threads if you feel you have a post of good quality that didn't get proper attention

Someone posts are directly proportional to merit received by the person, although there can be some partial reasons that can make some people with low effort to have more merits, but merit is the reflection of quality posts as long as this forum is.

Good posts on different discussion boards get recognized as valuable and educational, often by receiving merits because they help others. Another way to tell if a post is good, even if it doesn't have merits, is when people recommend it to others who have questions or need information on the same topic. If someone suggests another person's post, it means it's probably good. You can also identify a good post if it comes from a user who consistently creates helpful content and is well-known for being informative on the forum. When such a user shares a thread or reply, most people trust it immediately because they know it's important and helpful.

The level of someone's posts quality are directly proportional to the merit received by the person, although there can be some partial reasons that can make some other people with low effort posts to have more merits, but merit is simply still the reflection of quality posts as long as it is this forum.

Have been thinking about this Merit and quality post, like how it works, if the both of them work hand in hand or something.
Because to me, merit speaks more about someone's post to be a quality post and you guys would agree with me.
