are you serious? they earn enough by posting? mhhh, then they really need not much money. and i can understand why they don't like the new merit-system.
but they have to be really desperate. if they have to earn money by posting and have no other options.

You got it wrong. It are the Legendaries and Heroes who are making livings out of posting. And the less competition they have the more living they make. Besides that it's an open secret that the long standing members have already gathered dozens of alt accounts on this forum. That's how they make their living. Merit system is status quo and that means nothing will change. Which is they way they want it, in their privilaged position.

Makes a lot of sense deena, i think you nailed it. And this post of yours might lead to another new rule, demerits😛

Demerits can be abused a lot and will lead to more complications.

I agree demerits can easily be abused but I think It is needed for the better sake of this forum , Most of us here just want more better quality post and to remove the account farmers. But let just wait for theymos decision. He'll just make his thing to improve this forum.

Demerit possilbilities will of course be again installed with the arrived happy few. And of course the possibility will then be abused again, as is the case with the trust system. The problem of this forum is, I keep repeating it, that there are hardly any objective rules and that punishment and reward are mainly located at the subjective whims of a couple of devious individuals.
