The merit system will work only if the people in this forum generous enough to give merits to quality posts.
Without that all of us low rank members are just looking trough the window of a bitcointalk party without having
us invited. I am not against this system because I myself did mostly post spam posts in the beginning but after joining
a campaign and learning that if you bring value to this forum brings you also money things changed.
I think most people stop posting spam posts the moment they get in to a campaign.

You really know that this merit is great for the future of this forum, you should embrace it. Learn the basic things for the forum which is english, it will gives you benefit in the forum and in real life too. And no, joining campaign wont stop people from spamming, they will keep spamming words that sometimes off-topic, repeatable answer, etc, just to fulfill the requirement to get the payment.

I think its a smart move to avoid low quality posters from spamming their way up to their desired rank and it reduces the work of moderators in deleting useless posts, a task that is definitely time consuming. The merit system really justifies those who are usually taking their time to construct high quality posts, worthy of moving up to the next rank though for me, the merit system really is difficult because of the fact that ranking up will rely on those who will give you merits.

I was not happy because ranking up will become too slow, but on the other side it was largely help to crypto currency industry to prevent shitposter. There's a lot of users were in the higher ranked but low post quality, merit is now was the basis of ranking up, hopefully that gaining merit will become much easier compared to activity.

To make it easy for you, try to make a great and on topic post and engage with other, aim for quality not quantity, a newbie users just need to score 1 merit daily if he/she wants to rank up normally. I hope people can score 1 per day.

I come up into this BTC community with that system implemented already,I have no choice but to accept the rules and take the challenged,I was affected but still I am happy because I believe that this system will make the community stronger and have a better future.

Like i said in the upper answer, you just need to score 1 merit daily, hope you can make it.
