I have a long list of reasons why i detest this new system:
1. It DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REDUCE SPAMMING, it only changes the game to hustling, begging and trading the so called shit merit
2. I already foresee these so called merits becoming some high value market commodity...i hear people are already buying and selling the damned thing! Well, I for one do not have a dime to give to anyone in the name of trying to rank up.
3. What happens to true lovers of the community like me who have been ranking up through honest and detailed as well as informative posts all this while? Suddenly that motivation has gone out the window.
4. It has officially killed the ability of anyone to genuinely rank up cos even if one deserves to be 'merited', no one is willing to give them out freely.
In summary, MERIT SUCKS AND THIS DECISION SHOULD BE REVERSED TO PRESERVE THIS COMMUNITY from going into half communism, half capitalism mode.
There!! I just posted a very long non spammy write up but thanks to the new system, it doesn't count for dust!

1) Trading will result in negative trust. Already being given.
2) This merits are finite and eventually become scarce. It will be in hands of more responsible people with time.
3) You should feel more motivated to gain those merits.
4) I got some and they were for free. I think you can do better.
