since merit is impossible to get in this forum, even if you write good posts.
why dont we just exchange sell it to each other.
i have 22 merits i could give to someone if he then gives me 22 merits in return.
i doubt on the viability of this system.

Qouted for reference.
Its considered right now as an untrustworthy behavior. Selling/Trading merit will result you in red trust.
Anyway you are right but you can't stop him exchanging his merits that may result in negative trust instead he find a post that help other users in bitcoin earn it with their quality post. If i were i you i would give merit to those user that post helpful information to make bitcointalk best crypto forum there is.
