do you honestly believe that nobody can learn or help others without a healthy respect for the merit system??...really?..seriously...an adult actually posted that idea...wow, you people make it so easy...this thread should be closed just to keep any 8 yr olds from stopping by and embarrassing most of you...

I don't think merit is working entirely as intended*, but ad hominem attacks tend to not be terribly effective at converting someone to your cause. Then again, I'm not obsessed with ranking up, either; about the only benefit I care about is finally being able to wear my favorite forum avatar for this username (Banksy' "Star Wars Pulp Fiction").

* - mainly in that certain subfora seem to be all but ignored by merit sources, despite having a higher than average signal-to-noise ratio; e.g. - altcoins\mining is not nearly as afflicted by sig-campaign shitposters as the other altcoins subfora (or even the bitcoin subfora, from what little I've observed), but few posts are receiving merit.
