It will spread. I bet 75% of the forum still don't know what merits are yet

That's the point, TMAN.
I have also written a thread which propose some minor adjustment for merit system. Please check this one if you have free time.

Of course, the merit system is unfair with its original rules. There are lots of low-qualitied Members, Full Members, Senior Member, Heroes, and Legendaries whom simply ranked at their current levels by old system of the forum. We can judge them about anything in the past anymore. All of them passed the ranking system before merit system launched. Ok? We have to accept the fact that now they are high-class in the forum.

As a result of that, I think Junior members should be allowed to join campaigns, including signature, bounty, airdrop, in the forum. They deserved and should have a right for those ones.

First of all, cheating is one of basic instinct of human nature. That's not strange at all. The problem is how to correct original rules of merit system in order to get rid of and at least control those cheating behaviour better.

I have missed 4 more activities to be a Member next week, as a result of merit system, my progress will be delayed for a while, might be long time. Of course, I feel very dissapointed, I cannot ignore my true feelings.

However, let's take a look at possitive effects of merit system, which help me to write better, higher-qualitied posts. Those sort of posts which I have not ever written before, it's good, right?

I am very optimistic about the significant impacts of merit system.

Thanks admin Theymos for the great one!

Not bad. I think the merit system should adjust and do the following two things:
1. Limiting the maximum merits which each post can receive from one user.
2. Limiting the maximum merits which each user can send to another per day.

Those two will help us to control spammers, cheaters a little bit better. They can buy/ sell/ exchange hundreds of merits daily to only one user.

In addition, I think the system should be adjusted to give users, paricularly lower-rank users, such as Junior Members like me, a period-gifted merits. The number of automatically allocated merits should be discussed more. For example, 1 merit per month. It's not much, but it will give new users motivation to join the forum. For newbies, new users, I guess it is a little bit hard for them to write such as meaningful, constructive, high-qualitied posts, right?

They should have another chance. It's simply my opinion.

The limitations on maximum merits donated per user per day sound good, and should be taken into consideration too.
