As we all know the merit points buzz is been growing stronger, litrally richer are growing richer and poorer getting poor because these guys with high merit points are simply making new accounts and meriting themselves?
How many sMerits you think they got ? Maximum may be 100 based on their recent activity and rank. So they can make one alt account reach Full member status with these. And if they give all these points to that one account, they will be caught easily.
What about account farmers who have been rewarding merits in form of ones and twos and accumulating back and simply escaping from getting caught?
They will get their merits expired soon as well. Also, if you notice someone doing it frequently for low quality posts, report it.
