What is happening to forum after Introducing Merit System?

[selezneve]

Can't we develop some mechanism like Reddit or other forums where every user have equal right of voting on a post.

It is  a good suggestion but the problem is that this can be abused here a lot by creating multiple accounts. The merit system is able to fight against this because new users do not get any merits to abuse at all. Also, the default merits of even higher rank members is spent by now so we are equal.

Now it has become like a system of monarchy Where some members are behaving like a king and announcing like they are throwing food(merit) come and beg to them.

Use ignore option for such users. On an online forum , you will meet different kinds of people, some you do not want to interact to.

I guess smart Theymos foresaw this...

If there could be a method to rate such post I should have down voted these posts.

...And the grave chaos of rise and fall it would cause in the forums if that feature you seek is enabled for users.

Another merit topic again? Can moderator just not allow merit topic. I usually visit Meta to read some rules and other stuffs but lately it is all about merit. It was explained over and over dude so  get out if don't like the system. Plain and simple.

People will not stop talking about merit system until they got some and ranked up. We cannot blame them because its really hard to ge it, maybe he just want to have some merit. I hope that those who are selling their sMerit will be punished, just keep on working here and don't focus much on your rank because no matter what you are you can still make money.
