I am really wandering

Well, you fucked up on your 4th word in this post, which is jarring to a native English speaker like me. Yes, I'm used to people not being able to write well on the internet, but the fact is that "wandering" and "wondering" are both English-language words with very different meanings. If you're going to make me jump through a linguistic hoop (no matter how trivial it may seem), I'm not giving you any merits.

And then there's this, which DarkStar_ has so nicely pointed out:

Stop posting on spam megathreads, and you might get a few merit points.

This is 100% true. The only time I ever read posts in Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, or Speculation was when I was tagging and/or reporting shitposters. Some people might read those, but I sure as hell don't, and I don't know anyone of sound mind who would enjoy reading poorly-written answers to idiotic questions over and over and over. Those posts are never going to get merited unless there's some shady merit dealing going on. I've always thought that shitposters don't do a lot of reading here anyway, so if those posts aren't earning merit by merit sources, high-ranked members, or peer-group shitposters, who's going to be meriting them? Ans: No one.
