My point is the system should create something like anti-cheater app or just shut this system down because sMerit is now on trading.
We can fight merit farming/trading. Remember that everything is public.
Yes, in the short term, there will be some farming/trading. But in the long term, spammers will spend all their sMerits and only merit sources and users with good posting quality will have sMerits to spend (0.5 smerit for every merit you get). Meanwhile, new spammers won't be able to rank up anymore.
Why give sMerit too many for high level rank Member? And leave nothing for Newbee or Jr.Member??? If those new members find out a satisfied answer for their question. They can't merit because they are low level. If this merit given by devs, I have nothing to say. I am speechless.
Use this formula: the user has made a good post? Give him merit! It doesn't matter if he is theymos or a Newbie with 2 posts.
For example, I already gave merit to Jr. Members with good posts. Do you really want to prioritize merits based on the user's rank?
If this merit given by these old member, I disagree totally. What make them qualify for that authority?
I didn't understand what you said here.
Anyway, IMO this thread should go to the Trash Bin. A bunch of spammers won't change the system if the system was designed to combat them in the first place. /thread
