To my mind recent updates will have positive effect only for high-ranked accounts in order to stay dominant, I am writing it though I am FullMember but I personally think that there are more negative sides of this new policy other than positive. What do you think guys?
There is nothing wrong with it,because there are a ton of account farmers trying to post gibberish and posts that makes no sense to the thread to increase their activity,glad that the admin implemented this as i have reported over 300 posts and threads and hopefully we wont see that many from now on.
Of course there will be some negative sides
One of the huge negative side will be that most people will stuck at the lower rank because not everyone is capable of making 'high quality post'
What is the use of filling up pages and ruining the forum just for campaigns sake if they cannot make high quality post.
The biggest problem with the merit system is that it spawns a load of new threads.
Does everyone have a notion that only by creating new threads they will be getting merits.
2) Higher level members were favored. One with old account got lot of merits even if he had made lot of spammy posts. There should be a system like you have to get certain number of merits very year to maintain that rank.
People who started out initially with bitcoin had a very big advantage than the rest of the users,i am talking about prior 2011 ,is there a wrong in that
,this is a forum representing bitcoin and we need to find a balance to restrict the trash that is being dumped and hopefully this will solve that,you have to start somewhere and maintaining a certain number of merit to maintain your rank,what kind of solution is that.
