7. Profusely apologises after every sentence. "Sorry if I am wrong", "Sorry again if i(1) hurt someone". All of this with accompanied by the constant disebowelment(1) of English is enough to irritate the hell out of most normal people.
Now, What is their(1) not to hate in such a person??
Some of these people have reached "Hero member" and even "Legendary" with this shit. They are all going to get whats (1) coming for them.
It is a common impression(2) that most of the people spamming or shit-posting are from the low income countries in the eastern hemisphere. Indian, Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines(1) , Vietnam etc. To people from these countries, I'd say that its our own mistake that the west sees us as incompetent and lazy when we write incoherent sentences.

Accusing the other person of racism then is no defence(1,3) . If you really want to mount a defence, then do some real work and prove your worth.
1. For someone asking others to improve on their grammar, you too need to work on your Grammar and Spellings too.
2. It's a fact and I agree.
3. But if the disdain takes the form of blatant name-calling and racial overtones (not undertones), I believe it is an explicit form of RACISM; eg. 3rd world monkeys, pajeet, etc.
I'm not defending those who are criticizing the merit system simply because it is not allowing them to earn Bounties. They should realize that shit-posting won't pay anymore. I don't expect people to pay me for shit-posting too, but there are a lot of issues in the current system too and to have a high-level of arbitrariness seems awful. The irony of having a Centralized forum to host discussions primarily focused on a Decentralized system is amusing in itself.
I personally feel that any hierarchical system, should be done away with, be it the merits or the ranks. All Bounty Managers should individually access the participants and pay them on the basis of their posts (just like in an article campaign). I have seen Legendary posts worth shit and they are still paid twice simply because they joined it early.
My 2c.
P.S. Trusts should, however, stay and be more rationalized, you cannot simply neg someone for supporting a counter viewpoint and Trust should only be based on trading issues.
