merit farming, Low Quality Post Merited.

I was really sad when the merit was given to the low quality article, I tried very hard but did not receive any merit and I still did not give up so I can get merit from this forum but today I see very low quality article, also received merit from the forum, why? Or is this the merit trading on the forum? I heard a lot about buying / selling merit on bitcointalk to get higher rank, now bitcointalk has changed the rule so newbie can rank jr member, I think next time there will be many merit buyers especially with newbie rank. I hope bitcointalk recheck merit when someone receives merit from another member that is not from the admin of the forum, because merit is to reward those quality posts not for trading, buying/selling,it will be fair to everyone and the forums will be better,If the merit transaction is still going on, this forum will be merit trading platform so that people can trade merit to make the bounty is not the crypto forum
