Complaining that you being a newbie will not help. Obviously its the merit posters whom you are trying to impress or trying to get their attention by this method of pseudo-begging under a "newbie" blanket.
There are so many things people dont like about this forum. Its layout is bad, its software is old and trust system if fucked up and now you people are complaining of the merit system. If you have so many things in the forum which you dont like, then why stay in this forum? Leave this forum. At least a chunk of shitposters would be removed in this manner if they follow my advice.
I know you guys will never leave this forum because its favorite haunt of the jobless begging pajeets.
I don't think so. Merit is a good way of forcing people posting high quality posts.
If you feel you are being "forced" to make quality posts then you really need to think what you writing about. Probably your wisdom is not enough to comment on those stuff.
