Hi all,
Merit system is so hot recent days after its launch by Theymos.
The system has both positive and negative sides. In the topic, I would like to discuss about how to control negative sides of the system.
The following topic gives us some evidence about recent abusement on young merit system.

Personally, Theymos should limit the maximum number of merits for each thread. The range of merits received/ donated might be somewhere between 1 to 5 (measurement scale). For example:
1. for good quality post
2. for somewhat better than good quality post
3. for high-qualitied post.
4. for somewhat better than high-qualitied post.
5. for extremely high-qualitied post.
This sort of merit measurement scale will better control sell/buying sMerits between users.
Do you agree or disagree with my ideas on Merit Measurement Scale?
Feel free to discuss.
