This Merit System became an issue these days. Maybe, in general this Merit System takes this forum away from those trolls and shitposters. However, it seems impossible to have hundreds of Merit given by a nice man to ranked up.
If there is no individuals who are responsible for giving Merit, therefore the Merits that we had today are just circulating to us. On the other hand, to ranked up is very hard to achieve or impossible to achieve either.
Those Juniors will still be Juniors, Seniors will still be Seniors and same apply to others. If we look on it, there is no one who waste their time looking for those quality and constructive posts just to give his/her Merit, impossible.
To end this;
I suggest that there should be individuals that will give Merits like those who give green and red trust (Dt's).
There are this so-called source merit that is patrolling around the forum looking for informative post that due the merit. And you could be one of those merit source if you want, just look at the thread by Theymos for the guidelines. Just try to learn everyday here by reading post and articles from the veterans of this business and stop complaining about this merit system because it would not do you good.
