@alia & @pixie85 - Thanks for the merit... now I have to look for another good post this month to give it away   

@tirio - I did not intended this post to be funny, but... well, I am glad to be making the world a funnier place. Believe it or not, there are many people trying to find the "automatic and repeatable way" of getting merit.

@Welsh - I hope so. There are good posts everywhere and this is just starting.

@Kwame Genius, @Jet Cash

- The purpose of this post is to discourage merit trading and farming. Some people don't understand the system as well as you.

@zikabra - I clearly state that I don't want merit on this account. I have tons of smerit... really please, no more!!
                 I can only merit people on the languages I understand, but Theymos is particularly keen on looking for sources  or local boards (see his thread about merit). Eventually, it may be even easier to get merit locally. No one will ever be excluded for disagreeing with me, or even for personal attacks (within reason).

@AdolfinWolf - You are not excluded from merit from me. I hope my English is good enough to understand your awful writing overcome your lack of wisdom.

@jerick06 - There is no list nor anything to sale. You may want to take a look at the meta post about merit.

@coolcoinz - You are right, I am sad that so many people make themselves "un-meritable" for a long time, because they do make good posts sometimes.

@HabBear - Thanks for the support. Theymos has no better reason to listen to me than to anyone else, but what you say makes sense.

@digaran - Love you way of thinking. Yes, I have something to hide. I want to hide my user for getting personal messages or being involved in anything that could make me less objective. I want to hide from heavy scrutiny, because I am human (did I already mention that?) and I make mistakes. But you are free to believe that I am just dishonest if that's your wish.

@maeusi - Thanks, someone out there understands me.

@cabalism13 - Oh... should I read that thread then 

I won't keep writing on this thread. I really have a life and lots of posts to read, believe it or not.

Your intelligence is average, you wisdom non-existent.

You are smart enough to understand that what I say is common sense. That puts you above the many users that are exchanging merit with alts in plain sight.

You don´t understand the point of this post. That puts you below the many other that see it as an advice to the previously mentioned ones.

Please, notice that English in English is written with an starting capital letter. if you are going to criticise my style,  I urge you to improve your writing to avoid looking stupid.

Ok, noted.

b) You can possibly fool me but you can´t "hack me". I am not an algorithm, there is no recurrent method you can use to get merit from me other that relevant and quality posting, including helping others significantly or making intelligent questions. As human, I am good at detecting patterns.

I am a merit source. Not this user, this is an Alt I have created to express myself freely.

I became a merit source a little bit to my own surprise, but I accepted the challenge because it is a worthy one. These are some things I want to share with the community, particularly those that are interested in getting merit:

- I have lots of merit to give away. I mean that I have to spend quite a bit of time looking for good posts just to make sure I distribute my monthly quota correctly. I rarely merit more than 3 points.

- I check the users. Before meriting you I take a look at your merit profile. What do you think that would happen if I find that you are trading merit with other users in low quality posts...

a) You join my list of people that will not get merit from me in quite a long time, even if the post is good.
b) You get reported in the threads that deal with these issues.
c) If the abuse is huge and made by senior users, I will try to give negative trust for you and all your alts so you will be effectively banned from campaigns.
d) All of the above.

- I don´t really care if you have a farm, if you want to participate in campaigns and spam the threads, nor if you want to bump useless threads or any similar thing. Do it as freely as you want, that is,  as long as you understand that you won´t get merit unless you do good posts and you and your alts will be at their current rankings forever. I may very well consider your latest posting history before giving you merit. JUST DON´T FARM MERIT.

- Don´t ask for merit. I don´t know about other sources but I will probably put you on a temporal merit ban for that.

- I am human and that means several things:

a) I am not 100% objective. I try to merit as objectively as possible and I am sorry for any good post that I miss or if I consider your post of insufficient quality.
b) You can possibly fool me but you can´t "hack me". I am not an algorithm, there is no recurrent method you can use to get merit from me other that relevant and quality posting, including helping others significantly or making intelligent questions. As human, I am good at detecting patterns.

I can´t check everything, but I do check in depth from time to time. If you are thinking of developing a scheme with many alts to transfer merit know that two things may happen:

1st - You will join my lists of ever-meritless.
2nd - You will have to put so much effort that you would be much better off posting quality.

- I am not free to abuse the system. Merit sources are going to be under scrutiny from the public and possibly from the admins, so not only I don´t want to sell merit nor use merit to my own benefit, I am not free to do so.

I hope this clarifies the situation for many users and I also hope to see less threads about merit and more about cryptocurrencies.

Don´t merit this user please, is my Alt and is here only for my own privacy.
