It will stop shitposter from ranking up which is a great thing however it doesnt do anything for members who provide quality post and are not getting any merit because other users may be upset they are not getting any which just trickles down to everyone staying where they are. This only benefits the top who are already ranked up and this doesnt matter to them. I like the idea in general but this could drive people who do contribute away if the contribute but have no hope of ever realistically ranking up because they are not getting merit.
yeah you're right.. this kind of rules is only for the members who are already ranked up and doesnt matter to them if they dont ranked up anymore. how about people who post quality post but doesnt get any kind of merit. its hard to get merit in this new kind of rules. i know this kind of rules is set up so that the admin monitor or control all members that post shit post in the forum. but it has big effect also to the members that post quality post. hope we can make a consideration and revised the new rules.

thanks
