More people unhappy for the merits system, Because many Members stuck their rank because of merits required, but many Members are happy about it for the reason to prevent low post and spamming so they use merits system,but even if you make a quality post you cannot avoid having your post unnoticed because there so many post in the thread,but don't lose hope because someday they will be notice the post we made and we're not the only one like this because many also Members seek to have merits to be able to rank up,that why start now and make your own post.
In my opinion, merits system cannot prevent spam and shit posting, the only way to eliminate spam is remove signature campaign.
. At least Merit system help preventing all shitposter can get to higher rank in the future . For example, you're a oneline shitposter and you'll stuck forever at Member rank or maybe you can reach to Full Member rank if you improve your post quality or cheat Merit system. LOL. You can try but I think you already know what will happen with your account if you cheat this system
