Re: Was the forum better before without Merit or is it better now with Merit?
Members, reputable members. Was it better before back then when this forum was without merits or is it better or even much better now with merits? Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. 
Obviously, much better now. Although I am a user after the implementation of the merit system and I know how a newbie initially struggles to rank up. But anyway I would say the merit system has saved the forum from being worthless. Otherwise, the legendary rank holder who ranked up by shitposting would have reached millions by now, 
Anyway, I won't say that merit system is directly removing shitposts/spamposts from the forum or is implemented to remove it, I think the main reason for employing merit system is to stop those shit posters from ranking up.
