This is why high merit does not = high value and sometimes is a very negative value.

This is a demonstration of someone trying to stifle free speech and ideas. He could come here and give a sensible answer and debate.
But no just insists this should not be discussed.

Can someone point me to even 1 of loyceV posts that is of HIGH VALUE that is not some stats related stuff he just pulls from the servers.

I mean a post from loyceV that demonstrates original thought and insight of very high value. I mean surely someone with the highest earned merit must have 100's of very insightful and important contributions.

This is not part of my debate here but I will use this point to illustrate that high merit is not correlated at all with high value posts or large contributions to the forum. So ignoring pullling stats and presenting them in graphs etc.

LoyceV apparently has me on ignore so not sure why he is too worried about this thread.

So let's carry on debaiting the OP as I said I am not going to be derailed by personal matters for this.

This is simply a question I am asking because I would like to know the sensible and logical reason behind it and I can not ask theymos directly because he said I write in a rambling low content manner (which could be true) and does not have time to read it at the moment. So I am asking others to debate without getting upset or angry about it.

@maydayonliner

Then perhaps you bring a good point for the distant future. I though this you saying this can happen at this point.

I was talking about now. But for sure we could make it 1500 activity and extend the rank sensibly over time.

I mean this is just a discussion I am not 100% which is the better way of course. We could make a list of pro / cons and see how we go



I will not reply to this thread for a few hours and see what is said by others because I will hopefully avoid dispute with other people who wish to prevent the simple discussion of ideas....

Try to make an objective list merit vs activity +rank.

Then I come back and review and just analyse peoples thoughts.
