I’ve thinking about this lately. Exceptional posters earn merit at a much faster rate than their activity. Good posters just at a faster rate. I’d like to think of myself as an OK poster or not bad poster, since I’m earning merit at a slower rate than my activity, but I don’t think I’m a bad poster. Bad posters hardly ever get any merit and the worst posters never get any merit if they don’t cheat.

I don’t know if any of you have thought about this. Even a mathematical formula could be applied, I think. I would love to hear your thoughts about this.
