I agree with the train of thought that the spam posting and obvious ignorance of forum posting rules is annoying and needed dealt with. But this won't fix that. Those posts will remain, along with a lot of new spam posts asking why no rank-up?? How do I rank and get merit?

It's not a solution to all the forum's problems but it now at least stops people from creating multiple accounts and just shitposting with them to rank up. Now if you don't put some effort in you will get no where. More restrictions/punishments need to be put on badly run campaigns though otherwise little will change regarding the quality of posts here.

If I may correct your word. This new system called merit point is a great system for all of us who want to be better.
This is a forum, a place to gather and talking about a specific topic (which is cryptocurrency). This forum doesn't prohibit you from earning money by joining in a signature campaign, but the forum needs to make sure that everyone has a standard quality of a good poster. So if you still want to make some money from this forum, you better step up your game rather than barking about the system. There will be no easy money in this world !

I've been called names from cunt to motherfucker and a whole lot more by members with more than a thousand merits, only because my contentual posts are not agreed upon. You call that 'quality'? With proper moderation they'd be banned for it.

Wait... you want to ban people now for calling you names? Sounds like you don't want free speech at all. Just free speech for yourself to be able to do what you like but not others. People seem to love the freedom and laissez faire moderation here but then complain when somebody says something they don't like and staff don't intervene. You can't have it both ways. If people dislike or disagree with the way things are run here then they should protest with their absence and leave because that would be the strongest form of protest but we know they're not going to do that because this forum is too valuable to them, only it's now got a little bit harder to earn and that's the real root cause of all this frustration.
