The merit system is terribly flawed. People are already selling merit and giving it out to friends. A lot of the higher ranked members ranked up by posting very short/spam type messages in the past. Older users get such a massive advantage and most people are not even going to get credited merit if they post something that is worthy.
You can sell your merit, no problem, but you're sure to get banned sooner or later (See my post
here about that)

It's getting really ridiculous, whenever a lower rank is posting something like this and says that they're not getting merit, usually (not saying all of the lower ranks but majority) their posts aren't that good tbh. I'm not getting merit myself but I'm not crying about it because I know what quality my posts are.
This is unfair to newbies who are posting quality posts but never get merits due these selfish senior members?
That isn't true. Also, do not expect to get 10+ merit for just one quality post, keep the quality and constructive posts going and I'm pretty sure you'll see the progress.

Well if you know that's going on, make a topic about that and let people know. Rank means nothing in the terms of quality posting, even if you're a newbie and have quality posts you will get merit.
