Hey Guys,
The new merit system is not working properly and I think this can be quite dangerous for the quality of this forum.
Why? Simply because they are quite a lot very brilliant posts in this forum (especially in the local forums) which are not merited at all (not even 1 point). If you then see that they are a lot of free merit / scam threads this really dumps your motivation in creating serious content in this forum - cause its simply unfair.
Now consider there is a newbie who affords lot of time in creating some nice content in order to rank up, not merited at all. What do you think the motivation of this guy is going? Do you think he is gonna try this again?
So why don't we think about an demerit system?
Why don't we demerit for spam, off topic, insults or scam attempts and increase thereby the quality of this forum?
If their would be somehow a punishment for bad quality post this would really motivate people to increase their forum behavior.
I am exited how you think about that.
It could be harder than the Merit system bro. If ever this Demerit System proposal of yours be implemented, who are going to be the police? Who are going to give demerits on someone? That would only create a lot chaos and feuds among us. For me, merit is a pat in the back while demerit would be a spank in the back. So better this way, anyway the merit system is not even a month old for us say that it is not working.
