It's very interesting to see most of the members praising this so called 'Merit' systems are the users who already got lot of 'Merit's by default. They did NOT have to earn it like all new users will have to now!!  Because you guys already got the merits by default ( as per your current rank)  it's easy for you to praise this crap system!!

I can guarantee most of the users who are blindly praising this crap system would not praise if they did not get the merit by default!!  if for some reasons this 'merit' system is abolished then these same members will start praising that decision also...

Anyway, let's see how long this crappy merit 'system' can last long..
