@DdmrDdmr hey I can see you have a huge number of merits, how you got that.
Have a look at the posts he received Merit for and you'll work it out.
Most of the posts that earned merits for DdmrDdmr were from Meta and serious discussion sections,but I rarely post on those sections.
So this means other section don't have posts that are much worthy to read by others? I agree that there were lot of spammers who have no knowledge about cryptos but still posting for earning money from bounties but we need to have find the quality posts in the bitcoin section as well,since the main reason of the forum is to discussing about bitcoin.
You are right, i have also seen that, seems like we should also follow and be active there as well.
But that is not what my interest is, it will be scammy behaviour if someone post elsewhere where they dont belong.
But this is what new system is, one thing is for sure wrong elements will still figure out ways to fool the system somehow, its the good actors will get impacted in long run.
I have taught many people about what merit system and what smerit means, most people dont know about this feature and how to effectively use it. As, no public information was sent to every user, via message , email etc. Its launched as part of forum thread and most people were not educated about this change.
Also, now no smerit also, so even if you cant get merit, you dont have option to give merit as well.
