I do not have anything against you, but this just shows your double standards, Lauda! Beats the purpose of having a merit system in place if "notable" names like you are going to misuse it. I have done everything possible (ethically) to earn merits, but it just doesn't happen.
Exactly what I have been complaining about. There is no possible way for a full member like me to ever rank up on this forum! Shouldn't it be a task of "notable" names like you to actually merit the people who are writing "worthy" posts in order to encourage others to do the same?

If there's anything that's more disappointing than the innumerable alts that exist on this forum, it is the merit system!
When the Merit system was announced initially, I was really looking forward to it since it would have helped me differentiate myself from the majority of the shitposters that exist here. I saw it as an opportunity to rank up by writing quality posts, but even after being a regular and efficient poster, I haven't received any merit.
The funny part? The majority of the people who have it are either mere shitposters who end up receiving merit from their alts or close friends, or the campaign managers who get merited by desperate bounty hunters on the day they send payments or when they announce a new campaign.
What is the fun of having such a system in place where merits no longer carry any sort of credibility and are just freely given away for no apparent reason?!
I saw a one liner post by Lauda which received 50 merits from aTriz, a 7 word post from a user which received 5 merits from Pharmacist and innumerable other similar examples.
Almost everyone on this forum is misusing it. Hardly do I ever see a good post being merited.

Another thing that surprises me is that a lot of users have some special affinity for Yahoo. So many of them are busy licking his balls and worshipping him. The majority of people that he has accepted in his own signature campaign are actually the worst shitposters I have seen around with absolutely no command over English grammar whatsoever.

I wish there was a better system in place compared to the Merit system. It makes it near impossible to ever rank up on this forum.

P.S - Before you call me a hypocrite, I do not support alts. I made this account just to vent out my frustration. I was and shall always be a trusted member of the community.
