I invite the owners of the forum to think about how to separate the bounty campaign from the forum and return the previous, fair system of awarding ranks. Because the very concept of "forum" suggests that here the participants discuss anything relating to the topic of the forum, and not earn and compete with each other.

I don't get this. You registered in June. Do you know what the forum was like before the merit system was implemented? I assume that's what you're talking about, though you did not use the word "merit" at all. Do you realize why the merit system was created?

I would argue that what we have now is totally fair, as it keeps shitposters from ranking up, which they do not deserve to do because they're responsible for the fact that discussion here is swirling down the shitter, clockwise. As far as having any sort of discussion and learning--they're free to do either one of those things, since rank has nothing to do with it.

The rest of your post is very hard to read, since I assume English is not your first language. I don't quite get what your point is. You stated a bunch of things but it's not clear what you want to achieve, unless it's dissolving the merit system. I don't support that; most senior members don't support that; and I don't think Theymos is even considering it.
