After recent changes to the merit system, I am trying to do something useful and contribute to the forum. And this is what I collect, hopefully it will change my merit.
That's a no-no! (The Only thing you should do for merits is writing great posts without expecting a merit. If you do something just for the reward, you don't fully enjoy it or you don't do it out of your general concerns.) People usually don't tend to merit posts which are written just for the merit sakes.
Please let me know your opinion on this issue and if you have enough power, what would you do to solve this
I don't care about the content now since this post is just for merit sakes and not intended to share any information.
lol thats slightly harsh and everyone deserves a little merit for just an attempt to be part of the forum in a positive way. Definitely dont ask for merit but I thought this was a reasonable effort and I allocate merit also in order to how much a person has or requires to progress. Having zero but making a half decent post makes it very likely I'll give at least a merit but yea I never do this when asked because its only given incidentally.
Problem with young people especially is habits are formed very easily when young, nobody should be targeted or sold a gambling product below 18 or they may form destructive habits for the rest of their life. As adults I see far less likely a problem though some always have to be careful of course but its wrong to take advantage of inexperience like this for a profit
