Not really. The merit system does the job well by eliminating those who post solely to rank up (ie. account farmers) and those who post solely for signature campaigns. If you were to post quality content or content with sufficient value, then it would probably be merited. Merits doesn't have a use except to give them away so theres no use for us to keep them anyways, just spend it.
It was way too easy to rank up to encourage spam. If anything, merit system shouldn't go, no matter what. Obviously, if you were to post in a topic with thousands of replies, then the possibility of you being merited is low since your point has likely been echoed hundreds of times. Post constructively and I'm sure its not that hard to rank up.
I've been telling these to all of the forum members whom I personally know and keeps complaining about this merit system. No matter how hard it is to gain them, there is a way to obtain those rewards.
This site was been polluted by threads in the past who were basic (common) and keeps asking the same question where the answer is pretty obvious and already given. With the merit implementation, it was already been reduced by half.
Point is, forget about merits, stop ranting (to those who keeps complaining) as there's no way that the admins will remove it, just cope with the rule and create quality post with unique content.
That is the opinion from a thread with many members.
In Japanese thread, there is no merit source, thus no one can get merit.
Of course, some of them can try to earn merit by writing in English, however many Japanese are not good in English and never write something in English.
I can agree with your opinion but for a local thread, we need a way to earn merit, without that many people are stop using this forum, especially those who only uses their own language. This forum is losing a diversity by merit system.
