I still think this is how people are sending merits on the general boards, so it is not bad either on local board at all. Some people give higher merits on the general board than 6 merits. There is nothing bad about this at all.
I will advice you not to ask this kind of questions next time so far you are giving the merit to quality posts.
Not every one, only few sources with more than 500 monthly allocation gives that much trying to burn out their sources - everyone likes to do that but those of us with limited sources try to manage it so we don't go out of it easily. I like to make my decision based on what the community wants, I'm running an open system so I think the question is valid in this context.
However, my concerns are you subjective classification of quality post, some times I make good and appreciable post in just two to three line and sometimes I write walls of text. It's very difficult to understand your perspective of quality post.
A one liner direct quality post is worth more than a wall of text with repetitive words. Quality is not by the length of a post but the value it gives.
You are very correct on this sir, more quality is needed than quantity, but the major problem is that some of our guys that are in most campaign, post like that wouldn't be counted towards the week payments, and talking about mostly going straight to the point, because their manager is seeing things differently, he want to see that 150 words, that's why most people's post is full of repetition statement.
So in a situation like this, how can we strike a balance or go about it.
