Are sMerits not be used here as a kind of payment form? That's a serious question.
Didn't I just answer it? While it is frowned upon (at least partly because it leads to shenanigans like this), it's not against the rules unless you're a merit source. At any rate, it seems clear that alia_armelle is not an alt of nullius.
Yes, I understood that. But now everyone could argue that they would send sMerits for reason X. If that is the case, the merit system makes no sense and in this case, this thread makes no sense. On the one hand, other people are taged negatively (justifiably) because they reward shitposts with sMerits, but on the other hand, such behavior is tolerated? That makes no sense to me.
