Number 1 tip ko sayo, maging friendly ka as much as possible. Marami akong nakikitang mga post na merited kapag pinapanigan nila yung mga kaibigan o kilala nila sa isang argument. Hindi ko pa nasubukan niyan kasi wala akong masyadong time para mag argue sa forum.

Maging friendly as much as possible, Yes, but not for the sake of merit. That is probably not the best tip to give to a newbie or to any member here.

Yes, meron mga nagbibigay ng mga merits sa mga taong sang-ayon sa opinyon nila pero hindi naman basta-basta nabibigyan yan dahil lang sa pag-agree nila. Usually contructive din at may sense yung sinasabi.

Patungkol naman sa mga arguments, huwag natin gawing dahilan yung hindi makakakuha ng merit kaya hindi nagkikipag-debate o argue. This is a forum and it is expected na magkakaroon ng iba't-ibang opinyon. Hindi kailangan maging "yes man" dito, huwag matakot magbigay ng kumento basta may sense sinasabi, constructive o factual din naman.

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.
