It's... A bit strange though...
Am I the only one using merit a bit like a curation system?
I mean there is no "top merited posts" section or whatever but in my opinion the use for merit is to put the focus on important messages that might have been missed while they're providing interesting and sensible informations. And I got the feeling people use it more like a "like" button.

Merit system is a perfect system which is used to reward only the most sophisticated and honour-worthy, long and informative posts.
To be given 5 merits is a great privilege.
To be given 10 merits is an honour which marks the rest of your life.
To be given 50, you're a transcendent being (or Satoshi Nakamoto) and your posts cause ecstasy to the readers!
A perfect example of a god-like post with 50 merits: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2375142.msg24228465#msg24228465
50 merits for this this post is very fair. it is very informative to say the least.
