Yes I think so, this system was created to improve the quality of posts of everyone here and to clean up this forum. And when I have read some posts and comments of some users, I can say that many are trying to adapt the new system and trying to improve the quality of their posts.
The post quality (in my opinion) has dramatically increased around here since the new system was implemented. Ive seen much less shitposting from people.
I think its a massive positive to be perfectly honest.
Me too. That is
instant positive effects of merit system. However, as I discussed before at the thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2825306.msg29231021#msg29231021The true, really big issue will occur after some weeks, some months when lower-ranked users move up to higher-ranked ones. At that time, will they need to keep writing high-quality, constructive threads? I don't think so, they will certainly lose their motivations.
Once again, I would like to raise a question
"How long will positive effects of merit system last?"~ Only time can answer the question above!
