posts written in quite bad English
What's wrong with bad english? Are admins reading national topics?
This is absolutely unfair and dumb system of merit. You are have to suck a dick of "merit sources" to get anything. Nobody knows what they want. Usual users don't know anything about this dumb system. Also they scared with red numbers of "trust rating" (another dumb, stupid and useless mechanism for oldfags of this forum), "trust rating" abused by oldfags and useless for new users.
Determine whats bad english. If you talk in english and no one understand you then it is a bad english, and you think it is a good thing for a forum where people gather and share but you cant express what you want to and people dont understand you? It is still considered as good thing if people cant understand you, but what if people misunderstand your words? It may create a bad situation. That is what is wrong with bad english. Is this forum yours? This is admins' forum, they make the rules and all people here should obey it. I dont know why people think they are so big and great they can do what they want in someone's property.
Your brain process it as a dumb idea, i think only smart people know this is a good idea.
