To my opinion moderator must be a ban all, who create a similar topic.
Selling merit isn't against the rules, but could get you red trust. Theymos said not to worry about merit trading too much, in the long run they won't have any sMerit left. Let them spend $100 on 5 Merit, that's not doing them any good, they're just wasting their money.
Again another topic about merit. You are right there is no rules in selling merit and creating a giveaway merit thread. In selling merit you earn money but it may result in negative trust or red trust. Selling merits may be an abuse in merit system as they receive merit but the buyer still post low quality post that will result in spamming. If i ask you a question, if you are a moderator do you want to delete so many low quality post that will result in spamming? not just low quality but also out of topic. For me selling merit is not a good move for your own account. I'd prefer Giveaway Merit Thread as your sMerit will be put in good use and also help other member try their best to post a good quality post, we all know that the one who created the giveaway thread will choose good quality post and reward him/her.
Stfu, you are a perfect example of a cancer,what are you a 3rd grade ?you will be permanently a jr.member if you ask me because your grammar needs a lot of improvements not unless the great theymos will remove the shitty biased merit system for the higher ranks.Or he can remove the signatures permanently because it is the source of spam in this forum.
