My major concern however is that, mostly merits are given to only new topics or new threads. I believe good posts do not only come from new threads but some replies to posts by people can be very good and may deserve merits even better than new threads that were given merits. I think this happens because people hardly read replies to posts. They just go on ahead and read the thread and some few replies.
Not actually. I've given majority of my merits to topic replies and not topic posts. Most topics made by lower ranks are always like "we should believe in the power of bitcoin and blockchain because etc etc".
And so to my dear higher ranked members who are capable of giving merits, please kindly be reading the replies as well and merit people who rightly deserve it. Thank you.
I assure you that there are lots of high ranked members that are itching to give away their merits. It's just that it's difficult to find people in lower ranks to give merit to. It's mostly either generic posts, or spam. Very rarely that you find those topics and replies that are actually merit-worthy.
