Merit will only come eventually for users who are showing people that he is truly making an effort to change by improving his posts quality over a period of time, I believe it would be hard for some newbie users to get any merit if they still insists to make tons of low quality posts, my advice to them is to embrace the change and start putting in more time and efforts to increase the overall quality of their posts slowly.

Of course! That was/is the intention of merit. And exactly this way I understand it...
But when people - mostly Newbie are seeing posts like this below, which was merited today, or contests (like this one: LINK) they can be little bit confused is merit really about contriubution in forum society?

No one interested in Contrarian Betting? I guess you prefer the Crowd Wisdom Grin

For me your post was so chaotic and visually confusing that it was too hard to even read it.

I wonder whether a larger exchange ? Personally, I do not like these two exchanges Ibex and Coss. There is very little liquidity on these exchanges

I have not been here for a long time. All the same posters. All the same posts. Long way of endless to beat the air and mill the wind.

last one I've translated with google translator to see how one can get 40 merits for single post from Legendary guy and maybe learn something - that's what i got:

"Is there anyone who would be interested in writing an article on my bitcoin site?
It's new to the site and I've already got some positive reviews from a foreign site.

Anyone who has a Bitcoin site or blog and is interested, let me send a personal message."

Suming up the concept of merit is great but there is still needed some more control of its distribution because when Newbies read some "guides" about the "rules" how to get merit, than make some unsuccessful try writing posts and then see posts like these... They loose enthusiasm and start to look other ways to get merit for example buying. That's why i'm not suprised at all that merit blackmarket started up...
