If you give me a merit you will change my life forever

Ive been awarded a few merits and have not noticed any change . Ok, I understand that some see the forum as a place of work, expecting bounties to boost their wealth, especially in countries of dire economies but this is a forum whose core intent is to build-up on ideas and developments that are crypto-related (originally BTC centered). Additionally, some go into trading, and there is a wide span of services where one can make a pretty penny.

Bounties run for ICOs have the perverse effect of being considered an easy non-skilled job for some(/many), and that has lateral effects on the forums content, namely in the shape of increased spam. That is why the Merit System was installed in the first place, and by definition, you should post something meritable to receive merit.

If you really believe that merit is a life changer, then change you focus on how to get it in the first place and make the necessary efforts to create decent enough content to postulate to being merited.
