Well, I would like to welcome my self in this discussion from the four corners of the earth.
I am thinking that merit implementation was because of the old members here. If they did not do or started shitposting then all the new comers will follow their foot steps.
Every tree bears it's own fruit! Now merit comes to cutoff the trees that bears bad fruit ( none sense massages). The consequence new comers bear heavy load. What will be the solution to lessen the load? I guess one person will assume that post and post will give more change to get merit that mislead the scope of merit purpose.
I know by starting this topic more seniors will probably touch their ego. I know I am just new but I hope this will give good impact.
