what is more likely to happen if the merit system fails is signatures are to be removed completely and that will then solve all our troubles with the ranking system here because people only care about ranks for signature campaigns and bounties.

Thought I'd just put your quote in bold for those who have trouble reading.

OP struggles with English, and in addition his post uses far more words than are necessary to get his point across. That could be why he's not receiving as many merits as he thinks he should have gotten.

There are other fixes that can be tried before the merit system is declared a failure, but that's obviously up to Theymos. More merit sources in general, more in the local boards, etc., might alleviate some of the frustration of people who've been waiting to rank up. I'm sure there are people who make good posts and don't get merits when they should, but I don't know if that's rare or not. Sometimes I think the good posters get merits consistently, while the awful ones locked in their rate of merit-getting right at the start. The latter seem incapable of improving.

I think merit like a natural selection. although I'm stuck on Jr. Member but it's okay for me. It mean I need to help other member to solve some problem or made a good quality post on this forum Cheesy
