A member of this forum just approached me via personal message and suggested to me to "trade" merits. So for giving him merit he would give me the same amount back.
While I was at first inclined to accept this offer, I have decided to do the right thing and raise awareness for this issue, since I am quite sure that things like these happen all the time.
Any suggestions on what would be the appropriate steps to take? I am not a fan of naming and shaming but maybe this would be the right thing to do.
I am also not very enthusiastic about the merit system but still think that we should all play by the rules and earn our merit.
Luckily you didn't get involve in hippie dippy shenanigans just remember the old way of this forum to get known each other is the only way and don't worry such
flaws of merit system is inevitable and having a good judgement about the matter saves your well being, you will feel physically good in the next following days for such acts that you exposed.
No one likes a rat.
And we are preventing it for uploading an avatar that resembles a cat, I might get one of those avatar soon.
Do you really want to risk your reputation for four merits. That's 2 sMerits you might have, and 2 more from the four that he sends you.
I'm not sure why you even felt that it was worth asking the board.
Speaking of cat I thought you were going to used the Talk Merit alt to talk about merit?
