3. I also moved another thread of mine regarding the SWOT analysis of Merit System from META to Beginners & Help. And why? Sorry to say this but I find the high-ranked members of META that commented on my post very toxic. Instead of having a decent discussion on the content of the thread, they began criticizing me, the user. High-ranked members always proclaim themselves that their goal is to share knowledge and learn from one another. But for them to attack the poster and easily judge them, I think it is so haughty of them. And what makes them have this attitude? Is it because they have the merit to spare and they feel they have the authority to scrutinuze every post to justify if it is merit-worthy or not? I am just guessing here. I am also not generalizing.
That's the mean matter, and why I told you I do dislike the SWOT post. You are assuming that high rankers own the merit. This is not true, and also it is a proof of your own lack of information (everyone eaerning merits can give merit, it is not about the rank!!!). I have now zero smerits, for I spend a lot of time looking for good newbies and encouraging them to rank-up (if you are curious just check my post history). The problem I have is you are talking about high-ranked members as a kind of "enemy", as if we have all the merits and judge others.
That's not true. For instance, Jet Cash has made an amazing project to help other to rank-up, and he's also a merit source. If we don't like or agree with your posts, It doesn't mean we are your enemy or that we are a kind or tyrants! I have the right of disliking what I want, and it doesn't make me the enemy.
Notice what I said in the thread: "This is the first time I see something like that, and I just don't know how to feel about the matter. The user doesn't seem to be a complete shitposter, but this attitude is kind of annoying to me."
I was just asking about other's opinions, not attacking you. But you have already created a post complaining about "high rankers" just because a couple of us disagree with your attitude:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4542474.msg40888097#msg40888097You are just taking it too personal.
It is just the first time I see someone moving the threads from one to another board again and again. This kind of behavior is rare, that's all. Also, I do think you are giving ideas for others to do the same by the post I quoted.

We certainly do not know the real reason of the topic creator. Also don't know whether
his/her explanation is valid or not however if it was done for the purpose of seeking of merits the way you (OP) is thinking then it really does harm the spirit of the merit system like
Jet Cash said.
PS: I hope the topic creator is explaining the truth (ignoring the blames against high ranked members). I have very little perimeters to judge his/her actions.
I hope too. I'm not an inquisitor and I've never been. On the contrary, I spend a lot of time trying to help good newbies to rank-up, but the explanation of this one is just vague to me.
Maybe this is better if I just put this one into my ignored list, I just don't like when someone accused others to be mean to them just because they disagree.
