I see quite a few people from the Philippines and Indonesia

And they are, hands down, the worst shitposters here. I think any post that says stuff like "bitcoin can help us support our families, and we gain knowledge and trust in it and it increases day by day..." is, if not done by someone in either of those countries, it's by someone in countries geographically close to them. I have so many members on my ignore list, it's insane.

Next reform needed is for stricter control over what campaign managers/owners can do, like accepting noobs and having a minimum standard for quality--and that could be perhaps based on merits.

If this were to happen, I think we'd see a precipitous dropoff of the noob shitposters and all these alt accounts that have 2 numbers at the end of the username. I'd love to see this happen, but I think Theymos is done making changes for now. I'm still glad the merit system was put in place, because even though we're still seeing garbage posters, I have seen improvement in a lot of posts. Some people are definitely making an effort to be interesting, and it's good to see.

I don't mind all of these topics in Meta about merit, though it seems like I'm dropping nearly the same sentiment in each thread. It frustrates the shitposters, and this pleases me. The smile still hasn't gone away.

I had to sit on my hands to stop myself suggesting that we had a central ignore list.

How would that work, exactly?
