The trust system is centralized - Theymos chooses the private lottery requirements. The merit system needs to be decentralized for balance. We should use this thread to discuss merit system replacements.

The trust system is not really the private lottery from theymos , the requirements for getting there are puplic.
On top of that it depends what User are making the right moves on his Trust List settings.

I've suggested that smerit automatically be distributed based on activity.
The higher ranked, more active members would get more smerit than the lower ranks;

This would be in my opinion bullshit , and i promise that we will see some Accounts will be getting nuts about the activity.
It is also not a good idea to give lower ranks fewer merits than higher ranks.

How would you like to see the merit system reworked? Make distribution fair, remove merit requirements for level up, modify smerit > merit calculation?
Write now or don't complain if you don't like the new system.

As already written by a few others , the Merit system on his one is ok and good.
Maybe a few tweaks would ok but change the whole system i guess that will be lead to other problems.

If merit exist to fight against spammer, why not the distribution came from reports? a good report will add 5 smerit, a bad report will reduce 5 smerit, and an unhandled report will affect nothing.

I like that idea to be honest but it will be then to 100% sure as nutildah has written that this would be abused.
