then selling Merit Rank-ups should be no different.

I think this is a fantastic idea.  Let me take it just a bit further!  There are so many people complaining about the new merit system that there should be a way that a user can opt (pay a small fee perhaps) in to using the old activity ranking system.  This way everyone will be happy!!  If you like the merit system opt in to it, if you prefer the old ranking system opt in to it, win-win!!!

Oh I almost forgot to mention, opting in to the old ranking system comes with one little sacrifice.  Anyone opting in to the old ranking system would have there signature privileges removed permanently, NO SIG FOR YOU.

Now lets see all these whining shitposters and farmers opt in to the old system they loved sooooooo much...


I think that the merit system is like various forms of public insurance.  

The way that the system works the best is if everyone follows the same system, so paying for an opt out system would likely not be a reasonable solution on any kind of overall practical basis - even if there may be limited ways to go with this kind of opt out in limited circumstances, perhaps?


So being able to buy whitelist is ok for Brand New members? You can't have it both ways.


The administrators of the forum can do whatever they want, even if it is contradictory.  I am not advocating any change, and therefore, I have no burden to back up what I am saying.  I am just pointing out a problem with the concept of opting out  - or having a parallel system.   if you are advocating some kind of opt out system then you have the burden to show with either logic or evidence that it is practical, and you need to convince theymos, not me.


Sorry for the double post (to lazy to edit the last one lol).  TBH I meant this more metaphorically. Shitposters are here exclusively for the sig space and good members enjoy some passive income for something they are already doing.  In reality almost no one would opt in for the old activity ranking system (with sig space permanently removed).
