Just try to be more positive.

I'm positive that you're all talk no walk.

I would rather ask you now to tell me some valid reason to not discuss the ideas I have just proposed. I mean list now some possible flaws/disadvantages compared to the system we have now. I am sure there are probably some good ones else Theymos will have implemented this by now. I would expect he is probably quite well versed in game theory and things that can seem a great idea to a someone who is not may have actually suggested something with gaping holes and leave the board open for greater exploitation than it is open to now.

Did you even read the thread I linked to? There is a huge list of ideas started by hilarious and commented on by theymos. Some have been implemented (1 merit requirement for juniors), some are in the process of refinement (alt ANN sorting). If you really want to help the forum you should start learning how it works and what has already been suggested, accepted, or rejected. You'd learn for example that theymos is dead set against newbie jail like you're suggesting. But if you find a way to reign in bounty campaigns while keeping everything extremely libertarian - you'll be the senior legendary hero of the forum.

Changes here are very slow and you're not helping at all by throwing around random "solutions" to problems that you can't even prove exist, while refusing to use existing possibly imperfect tools.

That wasn't the kind of positive that I was hoping for.
Also what do you mean? all talk and no walk. In regards to what exactly?
I have taken plenty of affirmative action on this board to reveal and damage even huge scams. Probably because you were hiding away here in meta whilst people like me were outing huge scams and battling face to face with scammers and scam enablers while you just hide in meta reporting them to people that take the action for you. You probably missed all of that.

Anyway I have not had time actually to read all of the thread you posted. I noted a couple of points on that thread and they were Theymos grouped ideas into 3 categories on the first page ( i presume to save people time resuggesting things that had been suggested and decisions made or preliminary decisions made) even the No category is a NO not yet. Inside that category I notice 1 merit for making junior. This I believe is now in action?

I don't notice anything about junior boards (similar to noob jail) in those categories. He may have mentioned it else where. I can see why the old version of noob jail can not return because that was centralised and be far to much work. This proposal is simply leveraging merit to be a more powerful tool. I mean he has a lot on his mind and is busy with other things in life. I am certain if it was proven to his satisfaction that would be a net positive above what we have now after deep analysis and debate he may give it another look over.

I mean I have asked you to provide me any argument or reason why you think introducing such a system would not improve things. I know I rarely get an answer to questions from you... but have a think about it and if you can think of a reason why you would like to keep hunting around for negative things to report rather than spending all of your effort looking for positive things to reward whilst also leveraging merit not just to rid the boards of spammers but also to rid them of the biggest plague of "not quite spammy enough to be banned/deleted but still nowhere near the level to be considered net positive" it is the contamination of those that are driving out the good posters equally as much as the pure spammers which can be deleted eventually.
