After a few months, we'll know that, merit is not enough. it has improved the overall situation, but not enough. taxes are making up 45% of my country's income. people are posting here with 5-50 accounts as full time job. they don't care if what they're doing could put them out of their jobs.

Two solutions, removing signatures globally, or charging a fee per post for anybody with paid or unpaid signatures.

A lot of those alt accounts are getting caught and tagged all the time. Before the merit system that was just a minor inconvenience to them as they just farmed more accounts. Now that's going to become very difficult for them. We've already seen a small improvement and I'm of the opinion in a few months we'll see a lot more. Let's give it a bit more of a chance before rushing into making further changes.

Improvements that have been evident, now people who have many alt accounts will be sad and they only focus on the main account they have. The proof is now a lot of action to sell accounts and it is a form of pretation of spammers who previously had alt accounts. the discussion of merit has been the main topic for the past month, this is a form of curiosity many people have about the knowledge of merit system. Overall we have been able to see this forum become much better than before and we will be able to contribute significantly to improve the quality of BTT forum by eliminating many spammers and scammers. That is a much better progress than other similar forums.
