I see so many full member and hero and legendary member spamming as well. They had high ranks just meant they've been here long enough, doesnt mean they contributed alot. I see new member getting treated as second class citizen all the way from simple sarcasm to insulting from old member. I think merit system is good, but could be done better.

if people post stupid shit then old or new members might insult them, surely that would apply to old members posting stupid stuff aswell, why not?
it's probably more related to old members in general having a better idea how to behave on the forum, and therefore they don't post stupid stuff as much.

and second class citizens is hardly a point to complain about. everyone here is an individual, old members aren't tied up into some collaborative network to oppress newbies,
it seems like there's just such a huge influx of new accounts from people who can't even speak english and I guess that influences older member's subconciously to not be as positive to them.
People who has been here for a good while and seen the forum go from probably a rather serious/technical forum to all this spam in every thread, they might be a bit annoyed with every post being made a 100th time and such.

if a newbie or old member makes a good post, that should be the same in the sense of reception. although I do imagine the avatar adds a bit of value when judging the content of a post,
I usually assume people with avatars know what they're talking about Roll Eyes

(I'm new too but I'm not complaining and I don't know how the forum was before, just guessing)
