In my opinion merit system is a great idea and a non-regulatory way to control the members from posting spam in this form.
Merit system don't force anyone to make quality posts. But we must make constructive posts rewarded merit to rank up.
This is unfair to newbies who are posting quality posts but never get merits due these selfish senior members?
you didn't receive merit because you are not worth for it.
If there is rule for newbies to survive in this form why there is no rule for these senior members?
First come first serve. Old members have activated and contributed for this forum for years. At least 8.5 month to reach senior rank (before when no merit system). They are worth for it.
If this flaw is fixed then i think merit system the best.
No thanks, until now it's good
