The way so many users on bitcointalk cherish this meriting system is so apauling , they can't even give you just 1Merit , they take it as something that's so special, you can pay for a Cooper membership which will help you to create a unique and attractive post, so I still wonder then what's the big deal in giving some one just 1 Merit.
And the most interesting thing Is that people with ranks & merits how many of them create unique & quality post ?
The Merit and Ranking system should be Reconsidered and Revaluated.
