I'm in support with the new rules regarding the merit system.  The merit system definitely serve  the main purpose of this forum and that is to educate and not just be only for earning. It's obvious that so many users have been abusing this forum, which is why I think the merit system will allow recognition to those who are truly deserving and informative in this platform. There are certain people that will go against the merit law but let's all remember that this is new and its trial would lead to a success if we learn to cope, adapt, and not abuse its features. I believe that this will make people start to learn their lessons and not just post for earning alone,
but for educational purposes also which will help them and the forum,  including any one visiting this great forum
