First off - apologies for starting yet another merit thread, and I'll explain my reason for starting it.
I try to award merits to encourage members to prepare for this future, but I seem to find more members to ignore, than to award with merit. I've attempted to help posters to improve their communication skills in English, but I have had very limited success with this.
Quite ironic isn't it? All shitposters/spammers blabbering their mouth about the merit system and yet they don't exert even a little effort of improving their posts despite all the tips and tricks that other users who earned a decent amount of merit are sharing.
TMAN's guide is one of the most helpful topics out there and newbie probably ignore this because they are mostly in the Bitcoin Discussion board.
