Hello Guys. I have been thinking about this for awhile, merit system is kinda good so that many members in here will strive to write or reply a non-shit posts and also to avoid those account farming but merit system has it flaws because a lot of members here were merit-farming although we have some members here too monitoring those ill-activities but still ,it isnt enough. I have this idea about ranking system without the help of merit. It goes like this.
Merit farming has not become an issue so far in my opinion. As you can see now there are thousands of high-activity accounts stuck in Newbie rank because they can't even earn 1 merit. Sure merit farming is still happening here and there, but its effect isn't really that big of a trouble. Remember that for every 1 merit you receive, you can only send half of it.
Im suggesting to bring back the old type of ranking system but this time the posts of every members of the forum should be monitored first before it can be converted into "ACTIVITY"
If you think that some members that monitors merit farming isn't enough, how can you expect them to monitor every posts of every members? That's just not feasible.
