There are a lot of forum members, who spend their free time in this forum. And sometimes forum life need some fun for development, so I think admin must make virtual roulette in the meta board with free spins for all members. So forum member make free spins and win - either merits or next membership each day, even hero and legendary membership. So this will be more attractive forum and not so serious.
The forum merits is one of the biggest admin mistakes, they are 100% useless, ( for example, forum member with IT higher education will almost always be step higher than any other member with just home made IT knowledge, so how can home educated forum member can give merits in IT field to member with university education ).
Spammers and trash posters are present in all forums, also here - merit system can not help, if the member want to spam & trash, he/she will do it.
Spam/trash is subjective too, for me this Economics board thread with many replies
Has everyone become too pesimistic about the economy? for forum with international members is spam/trash, but at the same time other forum members may be like it.
So I think this gamble roulette will make forum life more fun & happy.
Was trying my best to read all you said but at some point I had to stop because you just said something that's crazy.
If the spin to earn merit and new membership as you called, come to play, do you think this place would be the way it is? It seems to me that you're that type that doesn't like stress, you want things to be done for you then you sit and be giving orders.
Bro, is best to have it this way, lemme tell you something, some people take this place as a very serious place than you can think of. Do you think people are here to play, like drop one funny emoji and log off for the day? Don't you know that when there's too much fun you can't identify who's serious?
Nothing is wrong with having fun but not on this Forum, if you want fun go to Facebook or Twitter
X and other places you could think of.
If you think Forum merit is a big mistake then your words ain't suppose to be taken seriously, maybe you have no idea how hard it is to keep this Forum the way it is.
Lemme tell you, if you think some of these legendary members are where they are now just by sitting and expecting manna to fall from above then you must be mistaken.
