I'm still on the fence with regards to the merit system, which is why I haven't been slinging the red trust much lately.  We all knew good & well that merit was going to get traded, but I do believe there are some people here who don't understand how the system works and who may have sent more merit points than usual.  I know I did at first when the system came into existence.  Having said that, there are some rather obvious merit sales, or exchanges between alt accounts, and those probably deserve a negative trust.  I fully support Lauda & actmyname in their crusade against these abominable jokers.

I'm not going to get involved in this just yet, but it may happen.  I think even with the shenanigans, it's still a good system that can work to limit shitposters' ability to rank up, and it'll be much harder to farm accounts this way.
