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
That is the problem even though you know you posted a good quality post someone will not give a merit . Merit system prevent spamming ang low quality post but how about like you who does not gain any merit even you done posting a quality one . Just improve everyday maybe others dont see your post as good as you know .
