If it's that easy to get points then it defeats the whole purpose of the system and it makes it much easier to farm/sell points.
The legendary crowd doesn't understand because they get (5!) fricken merit for a shitpost like this. You literally spent 10 seconds writing that post and got merited by (guess who?) other legendary members. You created an exclusive club - I'm sure that makes you feel very proud of yourself - you can just tell everyone else to F*Off if they don't like it, because you're in and they are out.
IMO people who decide to create exclusive clubs are compensating for something..
Compensating for forgetting more about bitcoin than you will ever know? Compensating for being on these boards for 1000+ days? Posting, questioning, learning....
Need I say more?
