....at sa tingin ko lang kapag bibigyan mo ng merit ang isang newbie, some of the senior members (foriegn) might think that you are helping them to rank up.
There's nothing wrong with giving newbies merits at all, and I know majority of "foreign senior members" would also agree. If anything, mas slightly biased ako towards newbies kung nagbibigay ng merits. Nakadipende nalang talaga sa bibigyan mo ng merit. Kung nagbigay ka ng merit sa newbie na halatang di deserve ng post nya na mabigyan ng merit, dun talaga mag iisip ung mga tao.
Ganun naman talaga ang merit system e. Why are you giving merit to other people? Its purpose is to help them rank up and it is a gift because you like his/her post. To make sure not to give suspicion to foreign members, make sure na yung bibigyan mo ng merit is deserving. Mamaya bibigyan mo ng merit is shitpost pala yung nabigyan mo, patay na magkakaroon talaga nang paghihinala.
