If you got merit for a post, you won't lose it, and it doesn't matter if the post or the thread in which its in gets deleted. That's one of the things I like about the merit system--it's permanent. You can lose activity and posts, but you cannot lose merits once received.
there are not many moderators in this forum to prove some merit farming act.
And Theymos doesn't really want much action against merit abusers, since in time they should burn themselves out. The way sMerits decay when they're given out kind of ensures that. Yes, some people are going to rank up who shouldn't, but it's still orders of magnitude better than before.
I got your point, happy to know that the merit system is permanent. Thank you for letting me know!
One of DT member already answered you nicely. I think it's enough to understand whatever you want to know. I think it's better to lock your topic now to avoid spamming. Thanks.
Will do, thanks.

I really like the idea of merits are permanent once you earned it, but the farmers use this method to cover their farming act and i guess it is hard to track it back for normal member, unless the tracker is moderator or administrator i guess, but once again, there are not many moderators in this forum to prove some merit farming act.
I think we can take a look at their merit history. Yes, need to work hard to track the farmers.
