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.
Simple minded always think about the negative solutions. Why do we need demerit? actually this thing can make our forum more complicated. You know that merits is very complex system, then adding demerit system, are you serious about that? Your merits depends on you so if you don't have time to make some quality posts then don't hope for merits. It's a simple logic that can be manage by some normal persons, it always depends on you. No adding more system, it makes more issues on our forum than supporting the community of cryptocurrency.
