How about a new subforum only for Merit questions? The recent Newbie restrictions are causing a high number of new topics about Merit in Meta and also in Beginners & Help. And I guess the Merit issue will stay for a while, we already had this before, it only got worse right now. And in addition we have very good topics of Merit stats which can have their own place from now on.
I would appreciate it if it's possible to create a new subforum only for Merit and make this as a subforum of Meta but also link it in Beginners and Help. I think it's important if we do so to have this link, because both, Meta and Beginners & Help, are boards Newbies use to post most of Merit related new topics.
And maybe this will clean up Meta and Beginners & Help a little bit.
