Re: Upper cap for posts to prevent people wasting their merits in famous topics ?
⭐ Merited by TMAN (1)
Do you feel is it right to keep on meriting on our God Mr. Satoshi Nakamotto's OLD posts ? But I feel, people are wasting their merits by not considering young bitcoiner's QUALITY posts.
Yound bitcoiner's make "quality" posts? Did the world just turn upside down?? The restriction on newbies is to learn about crypto and comprehend properly before they start commenting and making posts about the same. Now the possible sources of waste can be two, namely:
1. Merit Sources - young bitcoiners need not worry about them wasting their merits because they will get refilled every month.
2. sMerit Holding Members (like me) - They are reluctant to merit posts like these - simply because "young bitcoiners" cant do anything to add to discussions but shitpost all the way.

One good example here must be (other than Satohis's post), Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns. People love to merit it.
Green with envy? 
Merit is given to helpful posts. There are many other examples of it. You are nobody to question that.Quote
In some perspective, I do find the people who all meriting it like they all want their name to be displayed along with some famous topics.
Wouldn't you if you were also in the same place?Quote
If it is not good, is there any way to stop this ?

Why not put some upper cap for merits for each and every post ? I mean one post may have only some certain amount of merits.
Or disabling the merit button for a post after some time period (after few weeks) will be a solution here ?
