So shoot us for wanting to bring a sense of humor into the equation to have more fun along the way. Fun that won't count in favor of ranking up, but something that should make the day a bit more brighter. What is the harm in that? I fail to see it.

The only metrics used that you have any influence on could only be increased by spamming. Reducing spam is the whole point of Merit so this would be counterproductive. It was good for a one day joke as the numbers weren't updated live. If it was kept it would be a nightmare.

I'm not calling you a spammer but I don't think you have thought this through. If you had you would see it.

I fail to see why people would make a conscious effort to be anything besides themselves, especially considering that the others factors would not count towards ranking up.

However, I do get the fact that a sense of humor has never been a strong factor at this forum nor to be polite when dealing with others. I've had many posts deleted as a result of it. It is much better to be cold hearted and dead serious. I also get the notion entertained by many that intelligence and a sense of humor are not good bed mates. In any case, let me get on with my daily task that involves "spamming" since 2013 - the promotion of Bitcoin and cryptos. And no, I don't feel sorry for myself. Sorry has never placed any food on the table. I do however get irritated by a lot that's happening.

This will be my last response in this thread. Others who get what I am saying are at liberty to run with the rest of it. Admin is also welcome to delete it. I couldn't care less.
