Lately, it’s been looking like this place is just for the high-ranking members, especially those in DT. Let’s be real, how do you explain someone sharing a random image and bagging 10 or 20 merits, while someone putting in the effort with solid posts gets nothing? It’s like Theymos isn’t paying attention to what’s happening. The forum is slowly losing its purpose. Is this what Satoshi had in mind? A space where newbies can’t grow unless they ‘farm’ merits? Meanwhile, the DT guys are just cycling merits among themselves and adding each other to their trust lists.
I’ll say this, though: if you’re paying attention, you’ll see what’s happening. There are only few people who take their role as merit sources seriously. And don’t even get me started on the local boards, especially the Naija board. It’s a mess. Honestly, no merit source should even be assigned to that board because it feels like those in charge are using the merits for personal gain. The only ones we can really trust are Cryptobrainboss and Mia Chloe, and funny enough, they’re not even merit sources.
A few weeks after Theymos gave us a merit source and local board moderator, the guy shared a few merits for a while, then disappeared. Since then, no one knows how he distributes his merits. Is it a cartel? Feels like it.
Theymos, this is for you. The forum is turning into a political game. Are you a politician now? Because allowing this nonsense to continue says a lot. The ball’s in your court."
