Not after that you've got your missing 500 merits in no time

Anyway one of the emerging problems in this forum is not only that so many people cannot write in proper English (I am not an English mother-language myself), but that they don't even make the effort to get AT LEAST the title of the threads they are opening written down correctly. Even the title of this thread is confirming that. It's not such a big effort to find a way to put together 5 words in English properly. Right now, scrolling the Bitcoin Discussion section of the forum (and others as well) you can hardly find a title of a thread written in proper English.
Therefore I think that the merit system IN THEORY is a good innovation for this thread. But in practical terms, I am afraid it won't work without some major changes.
