I am not sure if this is fair to the younger members since the older members received higher forum ranks much easier.

In their defense, when older members joined this forum, crypto prices were on much lower side, they (probably) didn't join for the sake of incentives hence less spam and there was no need for systems like merit.

The merit system seems biased, there is a lot more ass kissing for merits these days than there should be. I've been here for years since 2014, and right before I was going to become a HERO rank, BAM, they introduced the merit system. I mean it makes sense, there's way too many desperate new users coming onto the platform hoping to get in with a good campaign (we've all been there), that if they didn't introduce the merit system, all of those sweet opportunities would be gone. I'm not getting ready to go to searching for the merit Gods in order to beg for more merit. I'm comfortable being a senior member. It has it's perks.
Also the spam was getting ridiculous from the new posters. Sometimes I wish I had merit to give to others, some people genuinely deserve the merit, because they make stellar threads/posts, I see them all of the time. They say the voice of wisdom often falls upon deaf ears though.

just my two cents Grin

When merit system was introduced I was full member and hence was showered with 150 merits to begin with, at that time I had no hope to reach sr member but after 3.5 years here we are. My most merits came from two threads, which I shared just for sharings sake without any expectation, no any kind of bootlicking Wink
