I dig this new merit systems, cause it brings new dynamics to Bitcointalk. I don't like people who post low quality posts and rank up for that. A Newbie or Jr Member account with genuine merit is much more valuable than a hero shitposter to me

The problem is that a hero shitposter already with a rank. So the rank is not a guarantee that the user does something useful for the forum. This is an indication that he may have started to do his shitposts a year earlier than the others.

In this case, why not to zero the rank of absolutely all forum participants. Leave activity and give the chance to earn a Merit on an equal footing with everyone?
If the changes for the quality of content on the forum, it would be fair and correct.

For now, this will make it difficult for new participants to grow on the one hand and
High ranks by manipulating the merit available to them, they will grow their friends disproportionately fast

Perhaps there should be an indicator of the quality of the participant's messages?
Like - Position: Jr. Member etc

so you are saying having 5 years plus experience in bitcoin isn't a head start on someone like you? making and losing fortunes on Alts and securities scams, going through multiple "bitcoin crashes" all of that is worth nothing as you cant level up quick enough ??

Where did I say that?

I just want to say that with such an incredible, rich experience as you have, it will not be a problem to get a required 500 merit in short term to become a Hero Member again. Much easier than to learn to respect other users of the forum, regardless of their rank and point of view.

Why should I have to? that is the question....

The same question, why should I?
Just because I joined two months ago?
I understand you. You dont want to start growing your account again.
But you also have to understand me, and others like me. To go your way we will need incomparably more time and effort. I'm only talking about justice.

Objectively speaking, a large number of members share my opinion. Why does no one send me Merit? Because it is a valuable resource. It will not be sent to strangers. The system in this form will not work correctly.

this isnt about respect for newbies as I have been making it rain on noobs who have the correct attitude about the system. I want the forum how it was back in 2013..

I want the birds to become dinosaurs again.

this forum would be great if it was all like the collectibles section, relevant - no shit posts and a good positive community !

I also want the forum with collectibles section, relevant - no shit posts and a good positive community ! But Merit system isnt a solution of this problem.

Moreover, we all know the solution to make our dream come true:
1 Ban all bounties
2 Brew tea
3 Listen to music
