and to the credit of the forum the coders get a lot of merits

Can you back this up? All I know was merit/statistics analysers were the ones getting most merit at the very beginning but now that is no longer the case. Sure they're still getting some fair share of merits but when you observe the merit stats (ALL-TIME & RECENT) merit recievers you'll notice we have a combination of users from all aspects of quality contributions to the forum on the list, we have the spam/scam hunters, merit/statistics analysers, anti-spam campaign managers, high and average quality forum contributors on the list. Merits are now been circulated round the forum than before.

Therefore it's safe to conclude, the merit system is improving and it'll keep on improving (give it time)

Yes, this is one example and here is another. These were very easy to find (literally seconds from the home page). Again, these people deserve the merits - I actually merited satoshi and laszlo.

I am just here giving feedback regarding my experience. I understand that there is a need to combat spam, but it's really hard for most people to rank up purely from the merit system. I am also just becoming acquainted with the messy politics of this forum wherein legendary members are engaging in continuous flamewars with one another. It seems there is some sort of ego battle going on based on forum rank.
