Today many are disappointed with the new ranking rules, including myself. However, after I think about it, merit and ranking are not everything. Knowledge is more important than merit. With knowledge I will get more than merit. What about your opinion?
Is this right place to ask about opinion of merit ? Why should you disappointed for merit since your contribution is zero? I don't believe a good contributor can't earn merit. Yes, knowledge is more important than merit. But if you haven't contribute your knowledge then you are not going to earn merit even you make just post on meta. More important is contribute of your knowledge. And obviously merit will describe shortly how about your knowledge and how you are contributing on forum. So you can't underestimate merit as well. Your intention should contribute your best one, not for merit. Share with forum which is your best knowledge and try to help all how you can.
His question was posted more then a month ago, and he is inactive for over a month now, just somebody bumped the thread today and here we go again,the same discussions.
Not that it's bad to have discussions,no.. it's just that we repeat ourselves every single time this happens.
