This scenario is the reality I don't have any proofs but I know it is happening with or without the merit system or the new rule. For couple of months I always visit Meta to read but I can't stop myself posting this because it is being flooded AGAIN with this "I am a jr.member and got demoted to newbie thing"(1st when merit system was implemented).

Because of this new formula/pesticide, farmers (theymos and other mods) can easily remove or way of removing the pests(shitposters and account farmers) so that the tree/plant(forum) will grow and all people will benefit from it and I think it will work sooner or later.
