this system is good, but have to be modified. if i say i post quality posts but who knows who will give Mertis, we can not beg on that. thats biggest weakness.
sometimes we will stay member forever. but here bitcointalk alternatives will be born rapidly and move away
Try harder, there is not much to it really. With this merit system only what you can do is try to post more often quality content as much as you can per day which raises the chances of somebody noticing your post. Becase even for instance if I read your post and wanted to give you merit maybe I couldn't because I have 0 Smerit. I myself don't post that much posts per day and have gotten only 1 merit so far. Keep posting eventually you should start to receive more I hope.
System is relativly new and it needs time to prove that it works, it is lame sincewe will rank up slower but this is the fact we must face, you and I can't change it. There are many people who don't like the system but it's not our forum so we have to obbey the law and rules because they are there for a reason
