Re: Was the forum better before without Merit or is it better now with Merit?
OP is fond of creating topics that make little sense or coming up with fabricated stories. Sometimes he ends up deleting the thread when caught in his lies. Anyone who has been on forums before or spent a few weeks on bitcointalk will come to appreciate the merit system. Though at first newbies may feel the merit system is working against them because they are not getting the merits they think they deserve. Hence the resentment and suspicions of older members hoarding merits or only giving merits to high rank accounts.
You're right. I remember the time when you were growing up and were extremely worried about your posts, so much so that you probably wrote not only me by PM but also other users to check your posts.
But the reason is that people grow up differently here. Some beg for merit or are extremely concerned about quality, while others create content that cannot exist without user approval.
