The laughable state of this forum, I've been reading this website since at least 2014, most active during 2015-2016 and the website is just unreadable at this point. 99% of the posts are from bounty hunter spammers
I don't think it's as laughable as It was used to be when the forum was run on yobit ads and users were able to rank up quickly to participate in the campaign and spam the sh*t out of the forum, you get my point now.
Too many Legendary accounts!
There seem to be hundreds of legendary accounts and they have all got there through some sort of merit cartel as far as I can see. just spam enough pointless repetitive posts to get to legendary status? Back when I first started reading, legendary status used to mean something, it meant that poster had something useful to contribute. Now it just means they merited themselves with an alt or they bought sMErits online and they spammed the forum enough times.
Before it took someone nonconstructive posts to reach legendary status without putting much effort into their posts in around 3 years but things are different now.
The thing that grinds my gears the most is that there are legendary accounts with a join date of less than a year ago, and here's my account which is operated by a normal user, who has contributed to actual discussion about actual real issues since 2015 with a Senior member level LOL!
the site admin should abolish all this corrupt nonsense and just have ads, that means its a level playing field and no corruption. You still make money. You think having thousands of beggars making pointless posts will make the forum better? this is now a low quality forum with low quality users.
I agree with you to some degree but neither I can do anything about it. But I disagree with the point that it made the forum low quality.
I'm seeing quality posters are leveling up fast but users with not good in the English language will face a hurdle because those users will be limited to their local board and thus forum needs more merit for sub-forum.
