Pros :
- Merit system reduce spammer and low quality content / post , and make them cant go rankup so they cant get advantage on this forum
Agreed.
Cons :
- Because of the system , the Newbie with low " knowledge " will be hard to make good quality content .
- how good is your post , if noone look at it /people wont give you merit , you will not get it .
- there will be merit sales for low rank ( this is my opinion )
1) That has nothing to do with merit system. Whether it is there or not, someone with no knowledge will never be able to make quality posts.
2) This can happen to some of your posts. But if all your posts are good, you will be recognized. There are members offering review services where you get more exposure.
3) It may occur but eventually the situation will improve especially when those default merit points are spent.
