Merit system -> People started sell it violating rules. What do you think?

Merit has its pros and cons.
Pros: clears the forum of bots and non-quality content
Cons: Merit is not always given for quality information and not all of it is used for its intended purpose.

I knew it would get to this even the high ranked on btt hardly gives merits to high quality post only sharing it among each other.I think the purpose for introducing the merit into the system has already been defeated.

We can’t please everybody to do the right thing like that but make it as a lesson that we should not follow what they have done because this is not a good thing to do as investors in this business.

Hi everyone. Its been long time since providing merit system. Firstly i thought its good idea. To improve your rang you should write good quality posts to get merit. It means less shit posting here, less spam. But what we see now? Nobody gives you this, people started to sell merit. You can just buy it with horrible ptice, 1 merit - 10$. So you have only 2 ways: buy merit or buy account, and you can be banned abusing forum ruless. Or stay with your rang forever. Whad do you think now about this system a few month later after providing?

The Merit sale case, I think this is scam.
Extremely difficult for you to get 1 Merit, so I do not think they will sell it at a price of 10$/1Merit.

I am really surprised that merit points are selling a @10, I was really not aware about it. I think merit points should not be bought like this, if it is true, as there is no use of then merit points to post quality post to the bitcointalk thread, but I also suggest the rules for merit points should be made flexible as in these days no body gives merit points at all.

I think there is a strong need for deactivating or atleast ameding this merit system, i do not think it has provided any positive effect on forum, moreover it has generated anger and discouragement in members and also have given a chance for new forums and platforms to come up, so i hope management will seriously look into this system and make the required action soon.
