No I don't believe so. It is too easy for friends and family to switch to each other different merit, therefore giving them an advantage.
It's a way to cheat and make yourself more popular on the forums.
So we remove it and instead let those same users sign up with dozens of accounts each to spam the forum into oblivion? The merit system was introduced to stop exactly that. People who farm merit or trade it to their 'friends' or family (aka alts) usually get caught and have their accounts ruined when they do so it's not really worth the risk. They'll also run out of merits to exchange very fast.
NO, the merit system not should really exist here. The eco-system of merit is handling a lot of spam in here true ? I think no , even if there is merit system spam post are as much as even if there would not be merit system. as we know until jr. member no merit is required and for spam camp we just need jr. member. does this make sense ? and every member here is doing bounties and all.
It's not going to stop shitposters from spamming, but it stops them from being able to rank up from doing so and that's why it's helpful. There needs to be additional restrictions or punishments for those still spamming on campaigns as Juniors etc and for those that continue to pay them to do it.
