yep u made a good point
but the merit system is also getting abused
people are begging for merit ( directly or indirectly ) like in other forum ppl are asking for up votes and likes

that mean its the way ppl use those system that define if it will be a bless or just another pain in the ass

True, but unlike in other forums the direct or indirect asking for up votes, likes and +reps are tolerated and is not frowned up. In our case here on the forum, there are DT members that can place a tag on you for doing so. Effectively ruining your account even if you have shit tons of merit. If you have a red trust rating with a billion merit, it will not matter since you were already tagged as someone who openly begs for merit.

That is not the case in other forums. You can beg as much as you want for votes, likes and +reps but no one will take action against you unless it would be from the mods or admins. In this forum, the community itself can do it even without the intervention of the mods and admins.

Well but u are here talking about the people that miss used the up vote system not about the benefit of that system

We can simply add the up vote so he make it easy to ppl to see good posts that have chance to get merits

And those who miss use it and beg for up votes will get the same treatment as merits beggars
