Re: [Merit] Legendary To Newbies Distribution Concern & Problem!
Lowering some standards doesn't necessarily entail meriting bad posts; rather, it just means that you shouldn't evaluate new posts in the same manner as legendary ones. Various knowledge levels are present.
I don't think that double standards is the real solution for the lack of merits shared to Newbie members. Tagging a newbies posts as merit fishing attempts is another problem 
Real problem is that we have so many Newbies writing merit fishing posts and not the other way around. How would you characterize all those posts written by newbies giving advice to other members how to behave on forum or how happy they are that they found this forum? Real reason why we get so many of those is because standards were so low that those kind of posts used to get a lot merit and now people simply call them out which is a step in the right direction.
