Hi Guys,

This is to share my thoughts on this matter.
1. Merit is to promote quality post.
a. I agree. Post is reviewed for it to be counted as an Activity? why add an additional Merit?
a1. Unfair to the newbie that came to this forum for knowledge and possible earn. Those guys who have been earlier were not required to have this to ranked up.
2. How will you that merits are given only to those with quality post?
a. How will you know that merit are given only to those that deserve it. What if they give it for some other purpose like selling them, or they give it to people they know who doesn't deserve it.
3. How will you compel to who have merit to give to give it out?

Sorry I just feel that the merit system is unjust. Bitcoin is the foundation of our forum. Being decentralized is one of the best features of bitcoin. Adding Merit feels like we are centralizing power to those who are on top!!..
Embarrassed

hello, i do believe there is no a total fairness in this world, like you said, there is a chance for people to buy and sell the merit or maybe the earlier member was not need to pass the merit system. but i think the whole thing is a part of growing community. as far as i knew, the merit system was introduce to reduce the spamming post, the laziness of few member to read the sticky thread and to keep all the member follow the big picture of the forum itself. do you think that is easy to learn about the community if most of the post full of spam post?

maybe this example can help you figure it out:
you create a post about how to create a wallet so you can get token from ICO project you participated. and 90% of the reply you got is "thank you for the post i also want to know" or "this is a good post" or maybe "please sent me a PM if you already know it" and the worst is people post a link out of nowhere (it maybe link to a scam or viruses)

as a community, i think that is important to keep the member to stay on the right track, i believe the first time this forum appear is to facilitating the need of crypto world knowledge. but like the other growing community, the bigger the forum is, the more complicated the challenge will come.

many people came here because they heard this community can help people to gain some cash. merit system is one of the way to remind the member what is the spirit of this forum.

i think if we (all the junior member and lower rank) can pass the the requirement to rank up, it will train us to do a quality post. which means when we implement our good habit of making quality post on the bounty campaign, in the end it will give us a good reward. dont you think the merit system is good for our own sake?

please believe if something new introduce in the community it is also for the best of our own sake.

like the higher rank teach us in this community, lets learn together here and the money will follow you

keep learning and stay easy
