What do you guys think about merit system.I think level up process has become too hard to deal with.Im not sure that I will ever be Sr.Member.Also I want to learn that
This is a good system, and certainly can reduce the spammers, Maybe it just needs some improvisation such as reducing the minimum merit on each rank and make a timer to sendinga merit to avoid sending merit 2 times simultaneously. Btw you still have a few months to reach Sr.Member so I guess you can try to make more constructive and positive post , Then you can reach Sr.Member 
. While I may only need 1 more week to go up to full member but merit system implemented, bad luck me hahaha. But its ok for the better future of forums.
if meritting each other with my friend is considered illegal according to the forum rules
Idk but i think it's ok (Maybe). Sorry for my bad english and good luck!
