I'm just one average user here.

Right, but just looking at your post here, your command of the English language seems to be above average. Most users at your level crank out shitposts exclusively, and the reason why they're shitposts is precisely because they don't speak English. So I'm sure if you put just a little thought and effort into your posts, they'd be worth reading.

But someone who can't write proper sentences in English won't write anything interesting because 1) the sentence structure will be broken, and 2) they won't have vocabulary sufficient to create an interesting post. I have seen this hundreds, nay thousands(!) of times. And in addition, they're usually too lazy to put any effort into what they're doing. I agree with your sentiment, but I think it'll take some time before the shitposters get discouraged and give up. But I'm patient.

So basically, in your opinion, the merit sistem is just a way to grade users english skills. Dude you are a teacher or a crypto enthusiast?
Even so, i`v read that there are merit sources in every language subforum but apparently the one in Romanian sub think that there isnt any posts that deserve to be merited. And in this case you cant play the broken language card.

No, it's a way to grade quality posts that contribute something and for people just making lazy shitposts will fall by the wayside. Someone who can't speak English very well isn't going to be making great coherent posts and this is the reason why the forum became such a shitshow because it was swarmed by thousands of people who A) Can't speak English very well if at all, and B) Know little to nothing about bitcoin and are only here to earn, and those two factors are a recipe for disaster.

So in other words, this merit system is not only to grade some quality post but also screen those people who can be promoted. Because only people who reach the number of designated merit was can be promoted. And I think its a good idea because only those who really contribute in the forum has a right to be promoted.
