~snip~ I do not see anything bad about this. But maybe this may lead to merit abuse.

Misuse of services may occur, but if it is intentional it will be easy to detect. but as you said, the exchange of services if it is given to quality posts then it may still be understandable, but not for many services at the same time. In the thread above I also said about the law of reciprocity or mutual support for quality posts with merit.

I have agreed to leave the campaign I am in, managed by him, for two reasons. I don't share his conception of burstposting and I don't like the 1 merit a week rule. On average, I earn much more than 1 merit a week, but I earn merits in a variable way, so there are weeks when I earn no merit at all and others when I earn 30 merits. For me it would be easier to comply with a rule of 20 or 30 merits a month than 1 merit a week. And I wouldn't want to have to ask for a review of my posts because I didn't get any merits that week.

We will have to see over time if this has given way to merit abuse in some cases, but I don't think it is generalized.

The decision to leave the campaign is yours. Managers have their own rules and the implementation of new rules by yahoo67228 may change depending on the conditions of the forum. But if it really helps to produce quality posters, it might be applied to all campaigns or just as a backup option. About the burstposting you said, it seems to have done some debate, but either way burstposting is unjustified.

The rule it's self is still subjected to change according to Yahoo. And he also offered to do post review for any members that didn't meet the requirement, at least it will help to curb merit sharing. Although this rule will be hard on members that post only on Gambling board since merits are hard to come by on that board

yahoo will certainly take good steps for mutual convenience, This rule is still newly implemented and of course there will be some positive and negative responses and there may be some revisions that yahoo will do. I can only follow the existing rules, although right now I'm still trying to collect merit to fulfill the 1 merit rule per week.
