I’ve had a glimpse through your posting history, and those posts that are not bounty report related seem to be rather well versed, even if the arguments expressed in them may differ from many of the member’s point of view. Regardless, it kind of looks like when you set your mind to it you have potential of coming-up with a fairly decent post, rather distant from many irrelevant posts that are written on a daily basis.

You have been criticised to some extent on some of your posts by forum members whose opinion I respect, but also awarded with merit by members that I consider just as respectable as the former. What you’ve suffered is a (normal) case of split opinion, were the critics have spelled it out in the shape of a discrepant post, and the favourable reviews took the shape of sMerit.
I would assume therefore that the topics exposed (for example SWOT Analysis of Merit System) are not consensus prone and that, even if the arguments may be wrong, some have appreciated your effort and opinion. That is part of the nature one should expect, so it’s a question of soaking it up and getting back on track.

Regarding the game behind moving threads, well you must admit that it would get rather weird here if this became a habit. If the motivation behind moving the post is to seek merit, the chess-move will probably render no advantage and will probably result in a failed gambit, whilst looking more like a shell game to the third-party observer.  This is yet another feature you’ll need to get used to: not all your posts are going to get merited, nor have the visibility that you want them to have. Shell games will definitely not help.
