Hey Guys! I hope that along with +Merit system we will soon have an opportunity of putting deMerit also! Every single day i try to learn from this forum and gain some new experience but it's so hard to do it because lot's of LQ/shitposts ! I think with deMerit it will be way easier to find useful info, +merit it and hide LQ post!

I think that giving demerit power to ordinary users would be a terrible idea. Much though I myself oft wish I could click a button and give a post a negative rating, I understand how it would chill the thoughtful expression of controversial opinionsnot to mention demerit abuse for petty personal vendettas.

The merit system only works positively. I strongly urge that it should stay that way.

Also it will help moderators to get rid of flood so people can find more content!

If a post is really spam or otherwise absolute garbage, you already have available to you a means of not only demeriting it, but asking for it to be deleted: That handy Report to moderator link you see in the lower right-hand corner of every post. You have stats for that, too: The number of posts youve reported, and the percentage of how often moderators have agreed with you. My report stats currently say, You have reported 254 posts with 100% accuracy. Those stats are not publicly visible, except when the most active and accurate reporters occasionally have their good work commended.

I sometimes dedicate an hour or three to reporting spam. Usually, I just hit it when I see it.
