I do see that as well, it is pretty evident the ones who are complaining about the merits system in boards (especially the meta thread) are members that are ranked Jr. Members or lower. Just by reading a few of their threads shows that they feel the merit system is a way to stop them from ranking up and receiving higher pay in bounties. This kind of encouragement where their worthy posts are awarded with merits will make them change their minds that the merit system is not an unfair system after all.

Not everyone is after bounty payments! Yes i have a sig. posted but I do not get paid for it.
But being a member here is a privilege, to learn from some of the best (crypto-world users).

I don't know if this is actually implementable but yes we have seen a huge number of newbies, junior members and even members pointing out that this merit thing works like the actual world. The riches stay to the riches even if some newbie deserves it more... I have seen newbies who have made only 1 posts and are so worth appreciation but are never appreciated. If a legendary member posts a thread that might be useful but not as much, they get uncountable merits.
I hope this initiative of yours help and encourage all members to never lose hope and to keep giving their best to this forum.

Yes the merit system is real world! Would you give
A "Bum" 1 BTC to party on
OR
Give it to a "Family" in need.

Hard choice
Does the family deserve it? If yes then they will get it in due time, If not then they will give up asking!
The forum (IMO) is trying to tell the "Bum's" to FUCK OFF

But yes I have seen some of the "HERO" AND "LEGENDARY" members get merit for "Just saying Fuck off"
