"Age with grace"
Who has heard that saying?
It seems to suggest that wisdom comes with advancing age. This also applies in bitcointalk forum so it is not surprising that most of the issues are linked to newbies.But that does not take away the fact that older members too post shitposts. However, when it comes to merit, I want to ask; is it realistic that every post or reply or comment is worthy of a merit?
That saying would apply in real life and not on the internet. Because account here are sold often and thus age is not a determining factor of the account rather it is the person who is using it. It is possible that a mature individual was using an account who knew a lot about this forum and took part but then the new owner was a complete shitposter who came here to spam. You can understand the outcome. Who has heard that saying?

I completely agree. If a newbie makes a good post here in meta, the comments are like "Whose alt is this ? " .
A "good" post is relative. Unless its about merit, threads in "Meta" post-introduction of merit system are all by newbies crying about merit and the usual "account hacked admins help" threads. If you do have something worth appreciating then we have a lot of merit sources here to rain you with merits. But the problem is "content" lacks in newbies unless they gather some experience.
