What is your solution to the "problem" then? Let's hear it.

Perhaps concentrate on improving your own posts instead of worrying about the inequality of merit dispersion.

He didn't get accepted to the campaign he applied for, so I don't understand what the problem is.

Obviously merits aren't an end-all, be-all standard for acceptance into signature campaigns. As it should be.

Since they (merits) are currently undeniably subjective, gamed and meaningless crap, That also undeniably cause all of the other insoluble problems nobody has refuted time and time again when discussed.

Then the solution to the problem is removed the trashy merit system or reduce its purpose to what its design is useful for only: stop  bots ranking up. This worthless metric has no business being conflated  with trust or post quality. Campaign managers must have transparent objective standards to measure candidate against them.

There have been many good improvements suggested to both the merit and trust designs, of course those abusing the current flawed design for their own selfish gain (most of meta) are going to fight any changes.

Doomed clearly acknowledges there is zero objective or reliable credible value to this garbage and yet Theymos thinks you can built the entire forum on it ? Imagine a tiny tiny subset only gives most of it out and they themselves receive the most, they themselfs can vote each other on DT and they can have all best sigs and revenue positions. Hey the " community" of meta where all merit source, dt, and best signs say its brilliant. Wow why they take this view? So weird?

For Bones261 whilst you are openly supporting scammers I will consider you very open to my legitimate criticism. One should expect to be criticized for supporting scammers.
