You mean alot less spam? Anyway, about the merit... I think there should be some tweaks done to the current system. I believe that right now the problem is that most of the users aren't getting merit with they're posts(even if the posts are good)... Maybe because other users are still not used to this new feature, maybe because they expect a half of a page post to be eligible to win merit... All i know is that getting higher rank will be much harder than before, even if your posts are good
I meant , they added merit to stop the short spammy posts that were occuring just to level up. The problem is even if someone posts very high quality posts is that most people are not even going to bother to send merit to that person.
I am not aware of that merit system until I checked it on the meta section, the mods and the management just want quality post for their members because we have to admit it, there are to many spam post just to hype the coins they are promoting or supporting with that merit system people will try to post high quality of course I will give merit if one truly deserves.
