personally me think merit system should not be there and ranks should be done via there post counts and quality of its posts
as of its too hard for new comers too to gather merits from old members who always do trades and exchange merit only for them but the person who is new and if he dont has btc to exchange then its less chance for him even after posting quality post on bitcointalk forum
lol now dont give me merit for this i know the points which me said is true and many will agree

I agree that merit system will be removed but once the merit is removed i would like to suggest that instead of merit for you to ranked the merit will be exchange to good quality post. As you can see it would be more work for moderators while new comers can rank by posting good quality post instead of earning merit. In that way ranking up still hard but not like the merit system. Iny opinion replacing meriy requirements to good quality post will be a great help to newcomers creating good quality post and to older accounts.as of its too hard for new comers too to gather merits from old members who always do trades and exchange merit only for them but the person who is new and if he dont has btc to exchange then its less chance for him even after posting quality post on bitcointalk forum
