Actually I a bit speechless about this post because to me it seems that the reason why theymos implemented the meritocracy is no longer doing it purpose, knowing too well that it is implemented to improve post quality and shift away those who create Spam posts or even shit post from the forum. But, wait a moment! If Theymos reversed the merits system or make some implementation according to how you said, don't you think that the merit system is defeated?

And of course, it's entirely useless to implement any further things knowing too well that the meritocracy was implemented to wipe away lazy people who aren't that smart enough to improve on their post quality to earn merits.

From what I have just seen above, Theymos just made little update by removing those who felt so entitled of the merits source and add those who where more active to distribute Merits to those who mostly needed it than leaving it in the hands of those who wouldn't be that active to the community to help out those who needs it.

Please, I am not in any way disputing your suggestions but I just gave my honest review and overview towards this, so I didn't say anyone should make me their personal enemy or even redtag me for dispute what they had suggested on the forum, like I know, the forum is a free place for people to give their opinion and general contributions.
