If anyone else sells merit, I assume a member like Vod or Lauda (or anyone else on DT) will happily red them if they find all accounts involved as negging a throwaway doesn't really do much.
Assume you are saying
giving red trust to the guy
SparkyU was not any injustice from my side.
they sold merit thein their red trust is deservant.
You might want to post a summary of your thread or a link to your thread
here if you haven't already done so just to ensure everything is in a centralised list.
Though you have to take trust as something that's a bit useless sometimes unless it is considerably valid. Take a look at my negative ratings to show you an example (my favourite is the final negative rating I got on here - I got a negative for not reading someone's username and analysing it before I made a post
rediculous huh?).
I actually explained myself on his thread of why it WASN'T deserving, but he was unwilling to accept my explanation and simply resorted to dismissing me and name calling. The whole merit system is new, still heavily flawed with some rules not even clearly explained, and obsessing about it like some people are is frankly a bit ridiculous. I mean look at this mdayonline guy, why are so many of his posts about merits? This is a crypto forum, people should discussing more important things than going round and round about some little rules. If you want to solve the spam/low quality posts problem then getting more mods or having the mods ban more people who are clearly getting away with murder would be WAY more effective.
Well yes you did explain yourslef and it is against the rules to sell merit as a merit source. I would question why OP ever brought this to this thread as it just serves the hijack it and is a little off topic (hence why I tried to diffuse it - arguably unsuccessful) @OP keep stuff to one thread, don't duplicate.
The entire merit system is flawed, it was a good idea however it was executed in the wrong way I think (though Theymos did try at getting rid of spammers and it did sort of work).
And based on your post on that thread, yes you would lose it (apparenlty) anyway but using it up on a user is buys it makes it much less valuable than awarding it to someone because they made a post that you strongly agree with or believe is of good quality enough to earn those merits.
