and you get a pretty exhausted merit source.

Nail===>Head. Plus at this point--at least as far as doing post history reviews--I'm a dejected one due to the general mediocrity of the posts I'm seeing come my way and the 98% certainty that I've been meriting members with alt accounts making borderline 'good' posts. I always tried to be generous, but I've also kept in mind why the merit system was such a blessing from on high (Theymos). No way in hell I want to start helping shitposters or account farmers to rank up with relative ease.
Thank you very much Sir Sceptical for being one of the most helpful merit sources around here, and I would never forget just how much you have helped me grow this account after quitting and returning recently. Hope you find further success IRL as you have found here, also hope you get an extra chicken nugget every time you order.
No problem; you write well and you earned the merits I gave you. Lol about the chicken nugget. I'd prefer an extra dipping sauce, but honestly anything free these days I'm grateful for.
are you still going to be a merit source?🤔
Oh yeah. It's basically just that it's going to be harder to get rid of my monthly allotment of sMerits each month. Over the years, the closeness of my reading on the forum has diminished due to the quality of the average post. I've come to expect that most posts here are just crapola written to earn money (which can be seen in the number of duplicate answers whenever someone asks a question; nobody really reads anything anymore, and for the literary-minded I can't say I blame them). But I'll keep spreading those merits around, believe me.
why not take that space of Ratimov since he's no longer making use of that thread or start your thread (with a title you choose)...just saying, and don't feel bad for doing what you did, after all you don't know which is sending a PM if is an alt or not.
Nah. I'm going to do it the old-fashioned way, as I did when I first became a merit source in 2019, i.e., reading and evaluating.
Have to say a big thanks S.C...
You're welcome. Your posts are kind of funny, even if your grammar is atrocious (lol).
