Let me tell you the fact that we all will miss Vod so much if some day he left the forum, or he decide to shut down the BPIP site. Please tell me the truth that you agree or disagree?
In addition, there are so many merit source application that received 50 merits from a single user at once. I don't think that such 50 merits to merit source application's OP is merit abusements. Despite of the fact that if the same user does not create a merit source application, but only post a normal post which contains same 10 links to ten helpful topics/ posts that he or she present in merit source application, he or she probably does not receive 50 merits from a single user at once. Do you call this act as merit abusement? I don't think so.
Consequently, there is nothing wrong if Vod thought that a post really contributes to the forum, from his perspective. You can not judge from your perspective that Vod giving merits because he simply agrees with a post. Maybe he think that such post actually contributes something to the forum. Moreover, if theymos thinks that something wrong, he might step in (as he did in the past with other merit soures), and revert wrong sent-merits.
Importantly! It is right time to cool down.
{a} TIME TO COOL DOWN
The key is don't hurry, don't angry too much. You need time to cool down, accept your mistakes (if you did); and DT members need time to cool down, and accept their mistakes (if they did).
Everything, and everyone have specific thresholds, beyond which will cause irreversible things. Over reacts will lead to being ignored (by Ignore buttons), and when it happens, no chance to see your negative feedbacks removed.
Maybe you are right at the fist place, but when you fall into angry, attack & trolling all, escalate things into 'Wars', you actually make real mistakes. Please don't do this.
Accept & admit your mistakes, make positively changes won't help you solve issues immediately or in short term. Because basic instinct of each person can not be changed within hours, days, months. So, your Trust Appeals take months or years to be solved (in case you actually did something wrong).
