Re: disgust, at how people r using merit-related threads for merit farming
But what makes my temper flare, is how some members are using merits related posts to farm merit. They create an attractive thread name, write a FEW lines about how people shdn't complain abt the merits system
You mean like this one?
The merit system makes it exceptionally difficult to rank up.
Good. And so it should. Now only exceptional posters will rank up and the forum will be dratstically better off for it.
Well, first of all, this is a bad way to end your posts:
I myself have a firm general policy of never awarding merit to a post which asks for it. Thats in poor taste, at best. It doesnt matter whether whether the post has substance, or is just begging.
[Share some merit if u found this useful, thanks! Hard for noobs to level up these days:)]
[P.s. Newcomer trying to lvl up here. Merits welcomed if you found this post helpful.

Agreed. I don't think I would leave merit on a post/thread if somebody asks for it regardless of how great the post was. This sort of practice should be frowned upon by the community or better off actually prohibited. At worst it's begging and at best it's completely redundant.
