one thing that bitcointalk should do is to stop the Signatures. Whenever there is a debate of removing spam from the forum, the idea of getting rid of signatures is always thrown by a few members.
theymos had it in his mind too. Before the kick off of merit system and months later, he saw that the initial system did not work well so he enhanced it.
Before the kick-off, theymos asked the community with
some Ideas for improving post quality?What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

- Requiring payment to wear sig ads.
- Banning account sales.

There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.
Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text.
Do you want to ask for Demerit button in 2023?
