Merit given is also public, so if someone were to give a spam/crappy post 50 merit, it could be caught by the community and the users given negative trust
yeah its public and we all can see it but what if someone gives merit on a verry old post and burried around the mega spam thread that new posters, readers and moderators cannot possibly read as it is verry old? how can we combat this?
agreed , a new way for scammers to earn profit by selling smerits ..
and we know many legendary people also do such things for money like bumping threads .
and what about those old members who promoted to suhc higher ranks already , its a plus point for them , as they are already legendary/hero member . so no tension of merits .
