Before I say read my post or I deserve Merit I like to put forward some points.

  Theymos proposed the system to stop the shit posting like "going to moon" and "lambo" but actually it hit the medicore  member most. People who are delivering good post are really getting good Merit But medicore people who do not created a high quality post (even they are not shit posting like "going to moon" ) are hardest hit.

Personally , you will find my many post inquiring about number of coin required for POS or setting up of MasterNode but is I am really in fault asking these questions when first post of coin will just tell you that this POS/MN coin without any  required number of coin information. Even these information is missing in their website too.

I am also against the spam , You can find my post advising my fellow member not to spam even before the Merit system introduced. Spam really causing issues , 80 pages of thread just contain 10 pages of useful information .(Now reading 10 page is ok but reading 80 pages of worthless post is real pain and further increase scam because the person might repeat his question that is already answered earlier.)

I have no complain about not receiving merit .( I put forward some of my suggestion in Meta forum and they are not coming in my post history) .

This forum provided me the source of ample knowledge and still there is much more to learn but it hurt just a little bit if you cannot progress.( I think natural human tendency.)
