My 2 cents about actual MERIT system + Possible SOLUTION!

[sud]

I've also observed that people just don't want to give merits to low rank users, but some Hero/Legendary Members posts get tons of merit, which is the opposite of what I'm trying to do. Also lots of users just hold merit and don't give it to anyone, so maybe we need some incentive - what happened to sMerit decaying?

~Translation: Nearly all my posts are lists of tweets in bounty threads so I can't get Merit. Please change the system to suit me.

That's a lot quicker and easier to read and should save everyone the bother of reading the OP.

Please be careful Sherlock Holmes is here! And I not force anybody to read this thread and my posts here.

If you read my whooole OP you should take the note that in my opinion there will be bigger disproportion made by merit system. If you're an account farmer you have a bigger possibility to move your account/accounts to a higher level when everyone is just spending their time to make very informative posts to gain merits.
If you want to push cryptocurrency into main adoption for every human beeing in the world you have to at least 'like that crowd'. Sorry that is just reality, not everyone have enough knowledge of how cryptocurrencies work to (at least at the bottom of their journey).

What do you mean by the bold part? Do you mean the forum must give all members the power to milk this forum so they can adopt the cryptocurrency? People can adopt to crypto wihout the rank matters, rank only matters if you want the money then you adopt the cryptocurrency.

And i agree with TheQuin,  because you have stated somethin in “my advice” ; dont look into rank / account name ( this two i agree) or anything else (this one makes me just think like TheQuin because you invite people not to look into anythhing else which can be post history of someone. I’d rather give 1 to a consistent normal poster rather than who just doing a contribution for merits)

the real solution would have been that ALL were starting from scratch as Merit points. I keep saying it but I understand that many are against this idea.

I'm of the same opinion with you. The MODs should be the ones checking posts and awarding people merit. People just go about sharing their merits with their friends or themselves. But if the posts are checked by the admins, a posts will pass many criteria and if found eligible, will be merited.

I guess you are the one who does not understand about your suggestion. Let me explain it to you. First, giving merit is based on subjectivity of a person to others, it can be biased by such things such as, friends, family, interest, relation, and popularity (just some example that can make a bias decision towards a person). So lets say, all member starts from 0, and all higher ranked members here who are famous do too, and we have some airdrop merit from admin, or there are merit sources. Dont you think people will most likely gives them merits? Because not only they have a vast knowledge, they are popular too. Understand?
