⭐ Merited by bones261 (2)
I have only one problem with this Merit system..
I understand it has to raise the overall quality of the forum and I have no problem with that.
But who decides what is a quality itself? What is useful to one may be junk to others. It is pretty subjective.
Basically if i want to fish out some Merits, i have to think how others might think or want, not what i really do

Haha.. Impressive post..
I was wondering the same the other day, but never posted it.. but you did..
The fact is every person has a interest on a specific section of the forum, so they may frequently visit only that section of the forum daily.
Also, not every Higher Rank Member holding a Sendable Merit is going to hunt each and every Topic/Post of the forum, after-all we all are humans..
So it's not an easy task for a New Member to get his first Merit, unless their Topic or Post stands out well in the eyes of the Higher Rank Member holding a sMerit.
SUGGESTION:
☀ There should be a way where the links of Quality Topic/Post can be submitted daily.
(off-course the Newbie should know what does a Quality Post mean, instead of a Spam Post or some Copy-pasted Junk Post).
☀ A sticky topic could be created by the Admin where every Newbie is allowed to post the links of their Topic/Post which they find it as a Quality Post.
☀ His post containing the links of Topic/Post should be deleted by the Staff after 1 week. In short, the post would stay there for a week or so and then it would be deleted.
☀ To avoid spam in that Sticky Topic, there should be a limitation such that that the Newbie can submit only 1 Post per week with a maximum of 5 Links of his Topic/Post.
☀ The links posted once should not be editable later by the Member, else they will keep updating the links every 1 day to gain more Merits.
☀ All High Rank Member would screen through this Topic/Post as per their availability on the forum, if they feel it's good and worth a merit, they will send the Merit.
☀ I think, this way the Merit System would be more fair to everyone.
