The new ranking system is highly beneficial to the community. With this, we will be more disciplined in creating our posts since almost all threads are already filled with shitposts. And as we go along, I believe revisions will be made on this new rule to further maximize its benefits.
Yes, it is truly beneficial for the community. Since I became member to bitcointalk, I was thinking about some sort of similar approach to increase the quality of the posts because there are a lot of people here is trying to abuse the forum just by posting empty quality messages. I'm hoping that new merit system finally will fix this issue.
