aTriz and Lauda just got merit!

[Deena]

Congratulations to the happy couple! So this is how the merit system looks like in practise:

aTriz rewarding Lauda with 50 merit points for a 'shitpost' (not my choice of word, but often used by those type of people) like this:

Half an hour later Lauda answering aTriz with 20 merit points only for opening a simple bounty thread in November:

Klaaas also wanted to get merit with Lauda and gave his all away for only one commercial opening post:

Does anyone doubt that any member outside the established circle would get tagged red for such merit farming?

This is just one example of what I mean when I write about abuse of the merit system and abuse of the trust system by the established members.

give it a rest

Why give this case a rest and not all the other cases outside the established circle? Tell me?

give it a rest

Seriously, the jealousy and butthurt vibe is near overwhelming.  They can do what they like with their merit points, and it's not like legendaries need any of that anyway.  Me, I could care less if I get merit points.  It's a status symbol as far as rank goes if you're at the maximum already.  But hey, keep creating mindless threads, hoping you'll accumulate enough merit so's you can rank your idiotic ass up.  Whatever gets you off.

The "established circle", or should we just call them the old farts that hang around this thread, have given way more to this fourm then you can ever imagine if they want to give each other merit then good, because you wanna know why? who ever they give it too, will be able to give it to OTHER people.

hopefully there will be a better policy with this new regulation, because the new rules, can only be useful for heroes and legendary members only. but we have to wait for someone kind enough to give us they merit

make a useful fucking post and stop bitching and maybe you would get a merit point or 2.

I couldn't care less about merit points and moving up. There are other things however I do care about.

I know nothing of the past of forum members. I only see the present. And what I see is abuse, contempt, hypocrisy and scam. There's nothing meritable about that no matter how old the 'fart' in question is.

Where do you see abuse or a scam?

You are just one dense motherfucker that you don't understand that atriz and lauda deserve all the merits and more

And they deserve to be treated in a similar way with similar behaviour. When they tag others for trust- and merit farming they should be the first to get tagged when doing exactly the same.

Hmmmm interesting....

🤣

Here's the thing. The merit system was created to slow down shitposting and shitposters from leveling up. Atriz is hero, Klaas too and Lauda is legendary. What would be the point of farming merits??

The point? The taggers themselves say to never judge on basis of motives but solely on basis of actions, and thus they should be judged in the same way. And I have posted hard evidence of actions which constitute merit farming for which other members are tagged negative. So they should too.

Basically they destroyed 50% of their sent sMerits someone else may have deserved

[D3Dsec]

Even these two accounts are farming merits to each other, why bother, even if they collect a huge amount of post it is pointless, unless they can spread theirs to help other members in this to reach a higher rank.

That's a very short post, but it made me laugh, and I thus gave you some merit points for it.

You're a perfect example of someone who posts very interesting posts--with some humor, even--and your 1st language is not English if I'm not mistaken.

Lol, as if the two needed it.

Are you farming merit? Looks like it. You're using the system in the way it was created for, therefore you are abusing it. Tsk tsk tsk.....

There is always the possibility that Theymos may introduce a new rank requiring more Merit than 1,000.

I get that, however this is present day with no such thing on the horizon (at least not yet).

As you said, it's a possibility. There is no point in doing anything "fishy" if there is no reason for it.
