I like this idea, i tried it here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126084 but it wasn't that wished by then, perhaps now people changed their mind a bit.
Anyhow im not sure i like this circlejerk it is generating, like if one doesn't have merit he didn't do useful posts. I did like it at the beginning hoping it would stop positive trust ratings being made just to "merit" something-
I do regret now giving away all the merits when drunk, they aren't easily recoverable.
RIzzrack, the feature is new the memory of the coders should be fresh and shouldn't be such a big deal, now this is what i want to believe no idea about actual data.
