[Request] removing +merit in the Art Contest Thread after the Contest is finish

[as9ardia]

with the end of The 10th Anniversary Art Contest I personally hope that  thread will not only locked, if there's a way to remove +merit (button) right there I think it much more better.

I'm sure that there several alt accounts participating there, whether it's old registered account, or even newly accounts.
If the + merit (button) is not removed, I think the thread will be (a good and clear way) to distribute sMerit between one and another account without being suspected as merit abuse.

_{PS: I also want thank to all of you who have given merit to my submission}

What is the connection between alts giving merits to each other and ending of contest? They could have given merits even before contest was ended. Why would they wait for thread to lock?
I don't think it would be wise to remove merit button because there are many last day submissions which may be better than earlier merited submissions. I personally would like to visit last 5-10 pages and merit some good ones.

It's not bad to give another merit to art contest submissions since the winner is not base on merit at all plus loycev already created a list of merited art contest submission from the top merited to the lowest merit art submission. Let them abuse merit and face great consequences. What's the reason you wanted to remove +merit button anyway?
