Bitcoin Forum

The number of posts that are not useful makes the forum rules updated. The newbie account must struggle to make one useful post to get merit and rank up to become a junior member. This raises various support and rejection arguments. Is this new rule fair? I think this is fair and is the right decision to limit the movement of garbage posters. In addition, the implementation of the latest merit system will reduce greed.

I think this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030960) is a great example of that.

One of those people who got upset are bounty hunters like me, we are aware about merit but we are shocked of what happen today. Unfortunately I might be sad but this will gives people to work hard and be active, not posting junk only or because you are bounty hunters you don't need to be active on other thread. This will help everyone to wake up, we are not here to be spoon feed, we are here to get knowledge and gives everyone help as long as we can. For now on let us move on and make a post that will help the community.

You can see here that the new policy will reduce spam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032314.msg45883277#msg45883277

I think so , because people don't work for merit , awaiting a freebie.
