Hello! Can I suggest to remove the sources part?
We know them, by we i mean established members. No need for random spammers to know them...
I agree with it. Spammers will eventually troll the sources just to have merits in their part. Better disclose it like what have theymos noted
Certain users are designated as "merit sources". They can create new merit out of nothing, up to a limited number per month (which differs per source). I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.
Just let them find it by themselves just to give them a challenge in the forum.
