I find it motivating actually.  When the merit system first was released I thought it was a horrible idea and seemed very authoritarian.  All that changed a few days ago when I saw one of the bounties where one guy had at least 50 Twitter entries as the tweets were all mixed versions of each other.  For me that was very frustrating to see and was very demotivating.  I'm thankful for the new rules even though I'm not very successful on the merit front as it will stop some of these assholes from taking up 50 or even more twitter spots. Eventually all the real users will get that single merit and be way ahead of the game.

To the asshole with multiple accounts in the blinked bounty:  Have a great time trying to accumulate 50 merits to keep your scam going.  
To the newbies:  See how this rule can help you as long as you don't wig out and quit.
