Based on your theory, should only members with higher ranks or at least Full members with high activity be looked in, to see if they've got something informative and helpful to the forum? As almost 99% newbies are completely new to this concept and many of them don't even know the basics of Bitcoin, how can we expect such above-average posts from them? They can learn and say something in their words but most of them fail to make it look a well-said post.

..Then they don't "deserve" merit? I'm pretty sure the system was/is intended to work this way.

I agree though, for the average newbie, it's not going to be easy to rank up.
When placing myself in their shoes, i'm pretty sure i would've not received any/a lot of merits either for my first half year of posting here.

I never said that (bold part in your comment), but all I asked here was should above-average members (like Full member and above) should be watched more? I never said newbies don't deserve, but it'll take some time for them to come in the category of knowledgeable people who already know some bits about the technology, and even if not that, at least they are able to "speak" something in their own words instead of using Google translate to mess it up in jumbled words or just committing the copy-paste stupidity. If I feel I'm not seeing any such good/better/best posts by lower ranks, I spend my sMerits on high rank members who are active in spreading those merits to newbies and show their utter generosity. Hope even that's not wrong.
