Seriously, after posting a screenshot and collecting a merit or two will they even bother either looking at it again or even bookmarking it for nostalgia sake?
If
bullrun2024bro stated he was not updating his thread and wanted someone reputable to create another, why on earth was this not self-moderated? That alone would have been enough to convince many account farmers to not bother take screenshots and upload images in the hope of a merit or two.
Also, if there was a clear clause stating members were only allowed to save their merits screenshots rather than others too would the number of posts here and stop a lot of the spamming and/or unnecessary posts.
I MENTIONED more than once self moderation is not allowed in meta.
And I have halted merits as of yesterday.
Remember a person posting a good merit total is actually making a real contribution to the website.
It is actually is work to do so.
Negative anger at merit is something we all know will always happen on Bitcointalk .
Maybe you could make a thread asking for me to have modding on this thread as an exception to meta rules. That would be a positive action.
Maybe I will open a set of threads about the good and the bad about merits like I did about bitcoin.
these were locked due to repeats of answers.

I did this thread for the joy of math. Not for anything else.
but to quote

So I will shake it off.
