This is a joke thread but the moderator accumulated tons of merits. I wonder the ones that gave away
merits were aware this is was a joke. If not this post is a kind of scam i reckon.
If they were aware then everyone is happy, well done job.
Most of the members who have merits to give are old members and thus we can assume that most of them were aware of this. It was not hard to grasps that this is a joke only. Some people had doubts because it involved changing the codes and also it followed the merit system which made it look real.
Even if some people gave it thinking that the change is implemented, what is wrong with that ? It is good if the merit system is improved further to fix loopholes.
