Hi Guys,

This is to share my thoughts on this matter.
1. Merit is to promote quality post.
a. I agree. Post is reviewed for it to be counted as an Activity? why add an additional Merit?
a1. Unfair to the newbie that came to this forum for knowledge and possible earn. Those guys who have been earlier were not required to have this to ranked up.
2. How will you that merits are given only to those with quality post?
a. How will you know that merit are given only to those that deserve it. What if they give it for some other purpose like selling them, or they give it to people they know who doesn't deserve it.
3. How will you compel to who have merit to give to give it out?

Sorry I just feel that the merit system is unjust. Bitcoin is the foundation of our forum. Being decentralized is one of the best features of bitcoin. Adding Merit feels like we are centralizing power to those who are on top!!..
Embarrassed

The word unjust is not appropriate. The merit system is made to make this forum a better place. Let's just be patient, sooner or later we'll get there if we give more effort. I'm having hard time getting merits myself because of my shitty posts. Someone even called me a merit whore for just trying to answer questions and I answered it all wrong. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3041155.msg31913972#msg31913972

We just have to be patient and do our best . There's always room for improvement. We newbies should take this as constructive criticisms for this will bring the best in ourselves. Learning is a process. Be patient and never give up!;D

Always look at the brighter side not just after the merits and rank ups! Have fun.
