You two don't understand how the merit system works. 500 alts would have 0 sMerit to give away. :/

oho! We all are dumb to some extent Grin

These people are earning merits by reporting shit posts. Let's say this is my main account. The rule is I will get 1 merit to report one shit post. I can create one ALT and can make 10 shit posts from that alt. Now, from my main account, I report those 10 shit posts and I am getting 10 merits in my main account for those 10 reports Grin

Wait, I guess I realize now, what I did not understand...
I do not need 500 ALTs. May be 10 alts and create 100 shit posts from those 10 alts. From my main account keep reporting one after another. I will have 1000 merits which is enough for becoming a Legendary member. Grin

You don't mind big smiles vod, do you? Grin

PS: I need to be a bit careful on reporting though so that the mod do not get my trick.

OP, you got a heck of a good chunk of your merit by helping mods and the forum police didn't you?

Yes, good chunk but not most of them. Don't you think I am working really hard to earn them?

You aren't accusing him of that are you?

No, I am not accusing him but it's not the right way. It does not satisfy the principal of awarding merit IMO and you can see others have the same opinion.

All of the above is on assumption, and viewing it from an external point of view. It would be interesting to see what Xandry has to say about it. I don't think we should be too quick to judge. I think the only problem I see is:
1. Xandry is a merit source
2. How easy it is to abuse.

I do think the same. We need to hear Xandry's opinion. May be he has this innocent idea to help the community but it is an abuse from outside.

@OP
You know how to plug your threads don't you?

Is that a compliment? Cheesy
