Hi OP,I have some big cats for you,surely they abused the merit system so they also deserves negative trust.Highly untrustworthiness from them.The source is below
First of all I am not against the merit,I just want to figure out the negativities. If someone said DT will be fair while distributing the merits.I will say no, Here I have a reference for that,Lauda and aTriz most well know members of our forum exchanging merits between them. 1.Lauda merited aTriz for running a twitter campaign ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2482937.msg25417254#msg25417254 ) 2.aTriz merited Lauda for a shit answer ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2813828.msg28801076#msg28801076 ) If you are saying that posts deserves 50 and 20 merits.I am totally against you.So all the merits are going to stuck between the well known forum member.
The merit for lauda I see it has it doesn't matter because they are all ready legendary and aTriz made a great post that is formatted nicly
