we are going to end with the same controversy we have with the trust system. And we all know how many sides are waging war on that front.

As I was saying....

To be honest I am not agree with demerit system. I don't believe that merit could be send by mistake. It's not same as Facebook like that could be press by mistake. During meriting time there is new tab, that means you are fully aware that you are going to merit someone. On the other hand once you are meriting someone you are meriting on post, you are not consider a person. Same thing for others people also. Say someone merited me on a post, but in case after few days if they aren't agree with me for any reason than may be some one will think I will demerit my merit
I think that less than 0.1% of the merit was sent by mistake, usually with that back page bug but the focus of the demeriting should not be on posts that have been merited and did not deserve it.
The main target should be the shitposts, like the ones here:
Wall of fame / shame.
