Here is an unpopular opinion
Remove merit system
Let’s go back to 2017.
Also remove flag system. Let theymos hand pick the dt members and any negative trust ratings coming from those members should nuke the account in question.
Democracy is crap.
Bring back theocracy. God theymos and his godhands.
How will this be helpful in regulating spammers from this forum? We will be seeing tons of accounts being opened every day to spam the forum since there is no regulation to kick spammers out or leave them in lower ranks since they interact or create quality content to earn merits.
I don't know how the forum used to operate back in 2017, but I think this merit system, flag, and trust system keeps it running to date. We just need to maybe add some rules to the flag system and maybe regulate the merit system to be able to allow fair merit circulation to the entire community.
