I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but these topics seem to be designed to attract merit points, by creating a general topic with an alt account and writing a carefully documented reply with the first account in the hope of obtaining merits or at least completing the weekly requirement of posts. If that is the purpose, please creating such topics, you already have a previous topic.
Lolz, this is exactly the same thought I had in mind, though I didn't think along the line or possiblity that a user could create such a topic with his or her alt account, then post a well documented reply in order to phish merit points from other users, it's the first time I am ready about such and I am really amazed at what length some users can go in order to earn merits
.
Anyways, aside that I believe this was posted in other to phish merit, I was also wondering what would have prompted op to even come up with such a ridiculous topic, is it that older users on this forum have not been welcoming enough to newbies?
Just can't help but wonder.
