What do you think about the idea that the forum management creates an ecosystem through a simple cryptocurrency which is not for selling or buying ? In my opinion, it would be very enjoyable to see such an initiative from the forum management.
If I can buy some merit points with the token I am all in. They really should get that fixed. I do not have any clue how to collect the merit points needed for senior member status and that is kind of disappointing.
Same here, I am trying to write constructive, informative posts and focus on areas where I have gained some experience and knowledge that I believe is valuable. Among the +100 posts since the release apparently there is not one that deserves at least 1 merit. On the other hand, I have passed on 3 of the 4 Merit I had to others which is almost nothing either. Not sure if they even took notice.
Gamification looks different to me.
I probably also would consider to get the currency if you could exchange it with merit or other things thst can add value to your user experience, for instance being able to give more merit to others who write great posts, access to hidden sections of the forum or mobile app.
