Chapter II
Point to Discuss
Section 7. Line to point out - I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
The administrator did not further explain, expound, point out some point/s, or clarify some factors that may affect the giving or rewarding of the merit.
But then some lines are pointed out like as follows:
a.“hoping that this system will increase post quality”, as the first line state, the admin never says we cannot comment a joke or short line in response inside a thread but as for respect to other members, excessive jokes or lines to offend others is subjective for reporting that may result on deleting your post/s. Balance your statement/s as everybody wants a community that that is considerate of other/s and those respect all the other members.
b. “Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up”, If a member wishes to rank up, they need to double check all their post/s or topic to be really consider/ed and labeled as ‘high quality stuff’ by readers for them to gain merit/s. On the other hand as the word says ‘in order to rank up’, in some point not all the member/s here wishes or want to rank up since we have many different purpose and objective/s here: to learn, to earn, to share, to gain something (as something refers to many things), or just to be simply here.
c.“If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point”, now you know if you didn’t get any until now! But don’t be discouraged if you think you did your very best in making high quality post and never been awarded because it doesn’t mean they are garbage or useless sometimes you really just don’t arrange your message well, or your presentation lack of something (one thing is how to make it interesting to readers), but with ill manner, you never receive merits because the readers know that your line is a copy and pasted from a source and you never put the link and try to claim the idea/s to be yours.
