I think the merit system is having really unfair things. In order to increase merit I have to bring to the community new things, both legendary and heroic ones who do not know. Then how can a newcomer join Crypto 2 years as I can do it. I still have some contributions for the community but what I know there are junio members and newbie do not know but they can not give me merit.
Another thing worth mentioning here is that, despite my quality posts and a lot of supporters, I'm not sure I got the merit. Is that too subjective?
My conclusion is that the merit system of the forum is too vague and too dependent on others. And this has resulted in a lot of money being spent to buy merit from the black market and that number should not be small. I think it's more changeable and clearer. I also want to be able to rank well for what I contribute
Another post about merit

I have doubts, most of potential member's will ignore you. Even I have put you on my ignore list. That means you will never receive any merit from them whoever keep you on ignore list. I am not able to understand your post. Even I am not giving priority on your English, but at least you have to explain whatever in your mind.
