I see no point in giving merits to legendaries.
So our posts become redundant once we hit a certain rank? We might not need them to move up a rank, but we may in the future if theymos implements another rank which requires x amount of merit, so stop being so self-centred. Merit is another way to see who are making the greatest contributions here, and that shouldn't stop being counted or become irrelevant once someone has achieved a certain rank.
I also don't understand why so many merits are given in meta.
Maybe because this is one of the only boards where anything productive gets discussed and is largely free of spam.
That section has nothing to do with crypto.
So? Neither do Politics and Society or Serious Discussion. Doesn't mean we shouldn't be meriting quality posts in there.
Like you said it's just a way for buddies to merit each others. If you haven't noticed, it's always the same people meriting the same people.
Or maybe there's only a handful of people actually making posts that are worth meriting. Lots of lower ranks get merited in here as well, that just isn't convenient for you.
It's a waste and a clear disrespect to what Theymos intended to do with this system.
Lol. It's not.
