A member of this forum just approached me via personal message and suggested to me to "trade" merits. So for giving him merit he would give me the same amount back.
While I was at first inclined to accept this offer, I have decided to do the right thing and raise awareness for this issue, since I am quite sure that things like these happen all the time.
Any suggestions on what would be the appropriate steps to take? I am not a fan of naming and shaming but maybe this would be the right thing to do.
I am also not very enthusiastic about the merit system but still think that we should all play by the rules and earn our merit.
the merit system is broken garbage, it will get destroyed for good reasons, and the admins will become surveilance monsters.... then sooner or later no one will like to use this forum anymore.
i compare the merit system with central banks, you are loosing against them if you are not part of the elite that is controlling and faking a "just" system with them
this forum has no interest in giving merit, at all, everyone seeks to gain trusted attention only "god" can help you in this.
