Will it interest you to understand that if everyone in the forum will engage in quality posts at everything, there would be no need for the merit system

Sorry but I disagree with you, if everyone engages in making quality posts, the merit system will always be needed because, quality are of different levels, there are those that will engage in lesser quality posts while there are others that will engage in higher quality posts, while there are those that will engage in both depending on their mode, the merit system will be there to reward posters based on the quality level of their posts.

Before you disagree for the second time, do small research on why the merit system was created. As opposed to what you think, the merit system was not created to reward good posters and neither was it created to measure the quality of good posts. It was created to avoid spamming and shitposting by users in order to complete activity count and rank up. I still state that if everyone in the forum decides to make good posts and no spamming, there won't be need for the merit system.

There's already a penalty, which is, if you don't get merits you will no longer grow in the forum, remaining stagnant is the price to pay.

You are also wrong here, you need merit as well as actively to rank up.
for example, a full member can earn enough merit to become a Senior/hero or even legendary member, but if that user is lacking in activity, that user will remain a full member until he or she meets the required amount of activity to rank-up, and if that user stops being active, he or she can gain 5000 merit and remain a full member forever.

You don't need to disagree here because there's absolutely nothing to disagree with, unless you didn't understand what was written with regards to the context in discuss.
