I disagree. While this type of system might seem to stop spam, it will create more spam than right now and the advantages mentioned can also be applicable through the present system as well.

Creating such a system where a member's merit value is lower than a legendary's merit value would only create more division.

There are many legendary or higher account members who have so many merits, and a minority of them have many alt accounts as well, don't you think it will really be much easier for them to rank up their own alts than how a normal newbie would struggle against?

Plus, most higher rank members have so many smerits, that when they like a post, they giveaway as much as 50 merits lmao. So technically, higher level members already have some advantages in that way.

wow an actual argument haha

Merit would essentially have the same value, you'd still need 300 merit to rank up to senior mrmber, or whatever the needed amount is, but you'd just be getting some on the side. You could still merit someone just like right now, but you could also be getting small fractions on votes, yeah? So it's just the "bitcoin faucet" of merit and it will still point out good posts and point the direction of posting for some. Tho I still think that there should be a penalty for having lots of downvotes.

Well you could use the same argument for how it works now, so not much of an argument tbh.

Only one time I've seen someone merit 50mrt is to theymos on his merit post. hahaha

But yeah, I get what you're aiming at.
