I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.
rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.
I am sad for the fact that im going to be a senior member this january 30 but this merit system will delay it. However i am agreeing with this system to lessen the shitposters that ruining our forum, this system would give them a hard time to farm activity for their ranks, and also this will affect account sellers like "Selling potential Sr-member" but now theycant sell it without merits. This update will bring us a new and anti toxic forum.
