It feels like merits are more common on English boards compared to local ones, so I think this change is going to have a bigger effect on local forums. Are there any statistics on what percentage of merits are given on local boards?
yeah I find this true , at least for the Arabic section since it's the only local board that I visit
but also to be fair there are way less constructive topics and comments there comparing it with the English ones , not sure about other local borads but this is the case with the Arabic section
I'm still trying to make people post better there by rewarding the good topics , maybe we will start seeing better posts in local if members started to get rewarded there
