Thank you. yes this is good system but not for a forum in such condition. This system had to be like this from very start. And now it is circus when youngsters who entered forum 6 months before me teach me how to live because they are Hercules Members.
I highlighted and will answer the only part written in a form of English that is understandable.
It would have been good if this system was implemented from the start but it wasn't needed then as this forum was used by Bitcoin enthusiasts to meet and discuss relevant issues. Over the years there has been an influx of people that have heard they can make money from posting here. They mostly have no interest in Bitcoin and have nothing to discuss about it. Merit has effectively closed the door for more of these people to come here and pollute this forum. Your only resentment is that you arrived too late.
Maybe we all should read the white paper as to why this forum was created. I haven't visited here for a while and I was surprised to see the Merit added to my profile.
If the merits is to root-out spammers, then it is a welcome development. Steem is trying so hard to fight spammers too, but they are still there. I hope this works, even though I'm still trying to fully understand what This Merits fully represent.
