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!

I completely agree with this (but sorry, would love to send you some merits though as you can see, I dont have any to send your way).
One of those who can be negatively impacted will be those who are true interested in coins. I for one visit the different threads because I have a genuine interests in those coins. Now with this merit system, I may never move up in ranking unless someone notices my posts and sees value in my posts. This is subjective and can also be subjected to chance.
Just sad that these distractions have hindered genuine people from focusing on the main reason for visiting this forum.

Disregarding this aside, how's that (above horizontal line) for a quality post in the spirit of cleaning up the place?
