First of all, cheating is one of basic instinct of human nature. That's not strange at all. The problem is how to correct original rules of merit system in order to get rid of and at least control those cheating behaviour better.
I have missed 4 more activities to be a Member next week, as a result of merit system, my progress will be delayed for a while, might be long time. Of course, I feel very dissapointed, I cannot ignore my true feelings.
However, let's take a look at possitive effects of merit system, which help me to write better, higher-qualitied posts. Those sort of posts which I have not ever written before, it's good, right?
I am very optimistic about the significant impacts of merit system.
Thanks admin Theymos for the great one!
Just because you believe "cheating is one of basic instinct of human nature" doesn't mean we need to tolerate it on this forum. If you get caught cheating, the mods should take appropriate action, including a ban for repeat offenders.
