I think you misunderstood. We were talking about the risk to get the signature removed if a whole thread was thrashed. If the software, for a signature removal, requires that it additionally must have been reported, then that cannot happen.

Ah, I see what you mean but I don't think it will be implemented to be honest, It will probably take too much work if both conditions need to be met. :/

I don't see the big deal, honestly. 1 merit is so easy to come by that any decent poster will eventually get it, and they can carry on earning their monies. The only problem I see is when people have a hundred alternate newbie accounts instead of Jr members now, and they've stopped earning, and can't put bread on the table. At least it stops the spam though. Maybe, this will demotivate others from creating a hundred accounts just to earn on bounties.

I agree with you but there are also many members who are really active that lower their rank so suddenly it is unfair to them.

I agree with you. There are many members who are active here for what reason?? Are they active because they want to learn or they are active because they are reporting to their bounty campaigns.

To be honest, 1 merit is not that hard to get. Even a 3rd world country shitposter can get it if he/she wants to get it. The problem is most newbie and jr. member accounts here are made for bounty campaigns and nothing more and this new system made the spam lessen even a bit.

Maybe there are some new accounts here that are researching and getting additional information. If that is the case, rank is useless to them. For me, merit is for those who want to increase their rank so that they can earn more from signature campaign. Am I right?

You are right, because the higher rank you are, the more you are getting paid over time. Which gives a incentive to people to actually talk on the forum. ( most people ) Even before merit was introduced, people probably just kept spamming threads to level up their accounts to get into higher pay-rates on signature campaigns.

If you guys worry because the new users or most of the users are only here for bounty, We'll you maybe right so what is the solution? remove the bounty section as easy as that. So that no more high ranks are crying because jr, members and newbie ruined the purpose of the forum. Some people made bounty hunting as a living. They are not like you who have stable jobs or belong to rich family.

If you delete the bounty section on the forum, then there wouldn't be that many icos advertising their ICO, but I see your point too.
To be honest, I would like to see the bounties section be deleted as well if any of these things don't work.
