Merittalk.org - New Board Request

[LeGaulois]

I have a high suspicion that a lot of the accounts that are enrolled in the bounties are owned by the same person anyway.

1 person or multiple?

But so many newbies on this site only arrived here because of bounty campaigns. Newbies and bounty spammers aren't going to stop making threads about it, and either lobbying for changes or fishing for merit in their OPs

Don't worry people will get bored soon enough and both with the lobby will spread the word it doesn't work anymore to cry about. It's like a DNS propagation it can take some time

I counted approximately 350 threads only in meta about merit, and it seems that merit threads are popping out in other boards as well.
Can we have new board for merit discussion/ideas/merit sharing etc?
Sorry if someone already mentioned this and I missed it.

Very good idea. I think the "merit issue" is not going to decay, due to the new incomers we all see coming everyday. Nevertheless, I don't believe it will completely solve the problem, for most of the newbies here not even stop and read before posting whatever they have on their minds.
It should be necessary, then, new moderators dedicated to this board to takes the task of moving all new merit topics into the "merit board".
Also, it can be a good place for newbies to achieve their goal of ranking up, for we can give merits to their best threads.

Good point. I would like to see it happening!!

Creating a new board about merit is also a good idea, and I see that this board will gonna be a source of merit wherein every member will post their postlinks to be checked by a higher rank members in this forum, it's like begging a respect. It will also defeat the purpose of the merit system.
