sadmaster is an example of the worst of the spammers. A useless post, that takes up a few screens to display tired old information that we've seen many times before. I've put him on ignore, and I'd like to issue a plea to all the other juniors - please take this as an example of an annoying and redundant post, that will reduce the posters chance of receiving merits to avoid the rbnking block.
Hear, hear. What makes it particularly nauseating to me is that stupid infographic with the anime in it. For some reason those characters are jarring to look at in the context of the merit system (and I can't stand anime anyway).
That bozo is going on my extensive ignore list. At this point, that information is everywhere in Meta and doesn't need to be regurgitated in a not-so-thinly disguised attempt to earn merit. Nor does this question of how to earn merit need to be asked anymore. The main problem is simply that people don't read anything. They'd rather just start a new thread asking how to get merit/trust and how to rank up, and they completely miss that the answers to those questions are right under their noses.
