You must have 50 earned merits to vote
why is it called the community awards when some set of people are not allowed to vote?
I feel the same too because it is discrimination and irrelevant. You want to tell us that only those who have gotten that 50 merits are the real members or most intelligent ones of this forum? To say the truth, nobody should be treated that way because of merit load.
You have the point that mate but we must think further which is the qualifications for this thread to vote is 50 merits and above which is I strongly agree with It. Because when all user including Those newcomers here on the forum will vote for sure there's a big chance that some newcomers here in our community earned less than 50 merits then they just copy and paste from the other voter in order to submit their vote. And lovesmayfamilis already explained it above.
