The probability of me getting a girlfriend is much higher than me getting merits here in the forum lol.

I agree and supports the idea that spammers are to be filtered out in this forum and hoping to see a better community but don't you guys think that we should have a level (criteria) of how much merit you can give to users depending on how informative it was not just how much they feel like giving to.

Like for example, decent and on-topic posts gets 0.5-1 merit, while those informative ones receive 1-5 merit depending on how informative/constructive it was. 50 if it was a well-written thread or something like that.

Or that the posts have something like a like button that if the post 4 likes it will automatically receive 1 merit. This can also be monitored if users are taking advantage of it because it's easy to check who likes who per post. so user liking their posts using alt accounts can also be determined.

I will be lying if I say that I'm only here for is to become educated in crypto/bitcoin/blockchain with the benefit of knowing the opinions of other people across the globe. I also want to would want to have the opportunity to join signature campaigns too just like everyone else in this forum.

Because it is subjective, highly based on personal point of view, it is hard to make a standard for what we call "quality Post". We cant force someone to follow a standard about quality post i guess.

I guess "like" system like social media cant be implemented to this merit system, because people will abuse it for sure. There are so many people with alt accounts here and to make a new account is not that hard, so i guess this system is not good.

Well, everyone is not prohibited to earn money from signature or anything else in this forum, as far as i know. Merit just make sure that the money is going to the "right and worthy" person.
