Of course, the merit system is really helpful in this forum because if they did not implement this system, users will continue to spam until they rank up. So far, spammers have been reduced due to this system so this forum will be flow better than before. Right now, it's really hard to rank up because many merits are needed. So let us make a quality post and a glamorous topic.

You don't say! If only someone else would have said the same thing as you on any of the previous 5 pages of this thread!

Yes ofcourse it is working like how it should work, the spam are getting much less than usual. Also the account farmers cant really farm that fast now since they'll get stuck if they dont get merit. So i'd say that the merit system really works perfectly fine.

Of course, the merit system works well. The shit poster slowly decreases and everyone tries to improve the quality of their post in order to get a merit for ranked up. Its make the forum going better than ever.

Yes, merit has a good effect in this forum.
I can say that Merit System is successful, but i think this system can still be improve to be fair for all.

Merit system will help people to make a good quality post and make a challenge to level up. For me merit system is good.
We can improved our self to make good post and be useful, meaningful post for people. Must work hard to get merit and has minimum merit for level up.

Of course, merit is very helpful in this forum. Because of the Merit, all of the members became careful and much constructive to what he/she want to comment. Merit gives more quality post from participants/members.

The merit system is very effective and what to expect, first to reduce spammers and improve the quality of the topic every day and be increasingly critical, great for improving the quality of work and especially the quality of the forum.

With the merit system is implemented on this forum it is a big challenges to us to rank up but still it is every effective to the good poster and hunt some spammer who will do shitpost. I think many user are still shitposter and they need to improve their post to rank up.

I think, yes the merit system is helping the forum. It eliminates spammers and encourage members to post and contribute useful information that can benefit and users can learn from. However, I think it's really hard to gain merits because a "constructive / quality" post is based on one's own perception. So we should really work hard and research some more to obtain it.

Its already have a good impact in the forum, more members are now starting to post more quality and some of the spammers are now getting tagged specially for account farmers who are taking advantage to earn and not helping the forum. Even there are many members continuous complaining about how hard to get merit but still they are trying to get that and starting to change their posting style from poor to more constructive post.

Yes Merit works really well. This forum has a lot to knowing thing. Many newcomers here come only for work. Many people do counter-work without knowing it. Forum are losing popularity with unwanted writings. Merit can only provide one person for good work. So I think Merit is one of the ways to know and understand everyone's personality.

I think it's time we should introduce a demerit system. But not one where it takes one person to simply demerit another user (for having shitty posts like the ones quoted above), but what about if the demerits aren't publicly available for viewing on any post, but if a certain post receives n amounts of demerit votes, the user is demerited... For example, if a user's post gets voted to be demerited by 5 separate members, the user then has a merit removed from their account. All the while, it would never indicate publicly that the user has been demerited (to help reduce hive mentality), but it would be visible from the user's merit stats page after they have had a full merit score reduced.

If the user is at 0 merits upon getting n votes? How about if the account is temporarily banned from posting on the forums. Maybe 1 week for first offenders, 1 month for second offenders, and permanently for third time offenders?

I know it's still too early to discuss a demerit option, but I really am getting sick of the repetitive (sly) shitposters like the ones I've quoted above. You know, the ones who can actually construct a decent (and I use that term loosely) post, but still do not have the ability to review the context of the topic before posting...

Maybe I'm getting way too detailed in the nitty gritty, but I'd give anything to be able to help contribute to the fine-tuning of this forum Cheesy
