Think carefully, what is the reason for implementing the merit system?
It is to fight with spams, but now, has this battle been won?
The battle has only just begun, my friend. I hope theymos scorches the earth of villainy and only the true heroes are left standing.
In all fairness, the outcome of this battle is far from meeting its expectations.
We're always open to suggestions to make this place better, but compromises need to be found.
When we browse the forum, we can always see a lot of meaningless posts in any section and this posts were born very fast, often when we read a topic over and want to read the next topic, we will find that the next topic can't be found. when we try to find the next topic, it has been squeezed into Page 2, even after page 3.The fact is that there are not so many people in the real reply, but because a large number of jr.member are completing their signature bounty missions.When you check posting history of these accounts, you will see that many accounts have more than 100 active, but 99% of the posts are airdrop proofs or social media links, are there any posts in these posts that communicate with others? No, none of them.Because these accounts are only for bounty/airdrops, they have no soul.
Well that's what things like the merit system are for. We need to go further, but hopefully over time people will realise that posting crap will get you nowhere.
Therefore, they are not worthy of the benefits of bounty/airdrops. To some extent, bounty/airdrops are a boon to the BTT Forum for qualified members.
I care very little about bounties. Let the shitposters abuse them as long as they're confined to the bounty section. As long as they're not spamming the forum and ruining the usability of that for everyone else then so be it.
