The new sMerit system instituted by Theymos may be a good measure to guard against forum spamming but this may soon be abused as others before it. Is it going to be a kind of merit my post and I merit yours now like we do have with the Steemit upvote? Vote for me and I would vote you back system now? Cronies meriting cronies posts without substance?
People, what do you all think?
There is a difference. On Steemit, the votes are not scarce. Here the merits will keep getting scarce with time. Members will merit other members making useful posts. Eventually, Smerits will keep accumulating in hands of more responsible people.
