The rules are broken like you said, you know better and you have been here longer before many of us came so you know how it was back then, let's say like 4yrs back. If the trust system was enforced by someone and the other members got so comfortable that they feel they can break the rules and nothing will happen and start messing it up then it can still be changed to something more brutal that when anyone forfeit and the punishment is being carried out the others would learn, but if things are like they are now I don't think there will be any changes. The rebuilding will take time but is best to start from some where before the ones that have been contained infects the others.

There are no perfect rules or regulations
No matter how hard you try, cheaters will always find a way around them.

It's the normal game of life, where prey and predator chase each other and continually exchange roles, woe betide if it weren't like this, we would never evolve
we just have to find new and different ways, we have to evolve for the challenge

Sure change is inevitable, and we keep striving to get better with time, no community develops without rules and rule breakers, and there won't be policing if there are no criminals out there, as regards this forum, but the trust system and the merits system may be far from perfect, but we can't deny the fact that their both made the forum a bit better than what it used to be.

Gone are those days when we had forums for fun, now ranking up is what alleged newbies look out for from the point of account creation, but that being said we still have some genuine newbies, who are following the process and contributing genuinely to discussions, we can easily spot them around the various boards.

This image actually looks like what was busted by the Fed in my country a few weeks ago.
