There is new mechanism in bitcointalk.org, now before posting you have to answer a very tough question and that tells your IQ level. I see it something as to stop people from commenting too much or you can comment too much if you are willing to answer too many tough questions correctly.
Is it something same like merit system Huh

Yes this new system has been initiated by @theymos to reduce the spam posting on the forum as he was unable to tolerate all the shit poster on the forum but i think you have qualified it already as the limit for IQ is 120 so you can carry on your forum journey mate. Grin

Just kidding this is the forum tradition of celebrating the April's fool day by @theymos so don't worry about it.

I’d vouch to leave it permanently, with questions regarding Bitcointalk’s rules and etiquette + bitcoin/Bitcoin related questions. BIQ (Bitcoin/BitcoinTalk IQ) could then lead to perks (tbd) …

I am also comfortable if this system is implemented and it would be fun and chance to learn more about the bitcoin if the MCQ questions are only forum and bitcoin related otherwise if it is carried the current way some members can also participate in reality quiz show winning millions Grin

.

A warning to members below the post would be great initiative to help them and avoid such mistakes that can force them to leave the forum.But will see how it ends.

The only issue I see if generating the questions, and coming up with the answers. Although, I think this could be a ongoing community effort. Then, before they're published they're reviewed by others. So, theymos would just need to implement something that allows us to work together as a community to add new questions over time.

This could definitely be community oriented like for the first part the @theymos could set up few questions bitcoin and forum related that will be shown down the post reply box with options similar to we have here .This coud definitely start some motivational concept for members to increase their IQ level like they now wants to rank up with merit system.

Later on one seperate thread could be made to submit the questions or some members could voluntarily take care this job to set up some more questions time to time.This is not some burden or way to restrict new members from joining the forum but they can learn fast and with self motivation to grow on the forum with knowledge and compete with others.But in the end the decision lies with forum adminstrator @theymos and current merit system is also very good..
