i care about that and me also like to earn signature bounty , but i hope that all are posting only for merits that's not fair ...!!
merit is important i know but, posts are maden only for the merits is not helpfull ....!!
some peoples only posting here for merits ....!! but i hope they all help others also by their knowledge ..!!

Posts made just for signature campaigns usually aren't helpful either, and that's the only reason people want merits, but let's be honest here; you're probably only posting for the potential of earning from signatures or bounties so what's the difference? If we announced that both signature campaigns and bounties were banned from this board outright today would you still be here tomorrow? I doubt it. The merit system was introduced because people were only signing up here to earn and even when they had little interest or knowledge about bitcoin/crypto and had little actual interest in learning about it but just earning, and that's the problem. Now people have the obstacle of merits to earn and it curbs that behaviour, but it shouldn't really even be on anyone's radar because if you came here to contribute because you would earn it naturally over time without even trying or noticing it. It's the fact that people put so much concern and emphasises on merit that's shows their true motives here.

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.

It really doesn't matter how far back a thread was made/posted/started,as long as a user still has a thing or two to add to the discussion,then it's definitely OK still commenting on such threads..

We've got topics that've been on for close to a year now, and such topics still ocuppy the front page of their various sections as users still contribute a thing or two to the discussions daily

Well your assessment may be correct only based on the fact that this thread is a meaningless/redundant one

Well I agree to a certain extent, but more often that not it's just the same old thing being discussed or complained about just reworded slightly. Just because a page is still active doesn't mean it's still of use either. Spammers will keep any thread active, especially the worst sorts of ones as they're often the easiest to spam in.
