Forum is the pursuit of merits now. Will live strong and persistent. Natural selection.
Merit will not appreciate the quality. Merit should not be the basis of a new rank. Merit is the gratitude of users. Not everyone can get it in the right amount. The number of merits is too large to move to new ranks
How do you know so much about how the merit system of the forum is going to play out?
You have been a member of the forum for about 1 month. The merit system was implemented 1 week after you registered your account.
I suppose that if you do not like this new merit system, then you don't have to use it, right? You have only one month invested into the forum, so far, right?
Says the guy who only had to hang out and post to increase his rank.
What's up your butt? Look I am using nice language, here?
Your coming into the conversation to get in your two cents, makes you come off as a bit bitter and envious, no?
Do you think that I had anything to do with implementing the new merit system?
Here, I am merely talking about it, and you can proclaim my bias.. blah blah blah.. but that likely reflects more on your bad attitude rather than anything to do with me.
Accordingly, the content of your posts suggest that you are unwilling or unable to understand or accept both concepts of system changes and the concept of employing a grandfathering clause type arrangement in order to attempt to fairly transition members from the existing system into the new system.
If you were attempting to make another point, then I am all ears, but mostly what I got from you was a weak-ass diversion attempt at an
ad hominem attack rather than attempting to deal with actual substantive matters related to the merit system.
I found the tone of your post to him to be snarky and dismissive. You ranked up under a completely different standard, yet you seem to take a knee jerk defense. The system is poorly thought out, take it as bitter if you want. Personally, I think these forums are kind of a negative on the community anyways. Too factional and loyal to outdated tech. Too many scammers and too much greed.Yet if you ask an advanced question, no one here has an answer. I think the merit system is the slow death of these forums, which is probably for the best in the long run. But it's still sad to see what Satoshi founded to become irrelevant.
But I like how you created a whole story in your head about how I'm bitter and evious because your tone is snarky...
