Hmm. I could not disagree more.
First, we do not discriminate anyone over the amount of credits they have. Whether you have 1 post or 200, you are treated just the same. Increasing your credit amount depends only on yourself. You are under no pressure to do so. It's purely a personal 'goal' you can set for yourself, to try and achieve. Thus, the credit system merely becomes an impetus for making acquaintances and being productive on the forums. Is that so wrong?

Secondly, your insinuations regarding it being a 'waste of time'. I don't see what difference having a credit system could possibly effect as far as time is concerned, since it's completely automated. I doubt you would even have been aware of the system if not for all the posts regarding it.

Thirdly, regarding the requirement of a credit debit to use a resource: After all, making quality resources is not an easy job. Our users have spent time and energy in developing those, and have uploaded them to the free domain out of the goodness of their hearts. Is it too much to ask for some appreciation in such a case?

Fourthly, the credit system is already in place, in entireity. I'm most certain that it would take quite some effort to de-implement the system again.

In sum, I think you should be happy with the stuff you have got and not gripe too much about.
