Forum has introduced a merit system, but why. Do it really needed because it will cause spamming all around if anyone have extra merit points they can choose its own references to giveaway rather than giiving for the unique post. Do forum has to study again before implementing this regulation in the policies.
Dude relax, me too at first, was really disappointed about the merit system but as you read here in the forum you'll realize that it's not half bad. It was introduced because the forum is really overflowing with shit post. The admins, moderators, and other members just want to make the forum great again.

Aren't these people allowed to choose which post is a quality post for them? If you got a unique post and a quality one, i'm sure there are members that would merit you for that. Also, since it is new to the forum high rank members are starting to help low ranks by letting them examine their posts.
You can see that here:

Or if not(since we're both low ranks) improve what we're currently posting by reading more posting less. Goodluck in the new system! Hope everybody will understand what this is for.
