The best way to do now is to let them abuse their Merits because I'm pretty sure that not too long, they will face their punishments. If you guys see anyone abusing Merits, it is much better to create a thread in reputation section about the abuse. What important for now is YOU guys are NOT abusing anything.
It's a relief that those guys are now punished, by reading their names, they are really untrustworthy and seems like green mindeds. Guys, Filipinos reputation is getting way too low in this forum. Although there are lot of Filipinos who didn't listen and follow the rules, I want to have trust with you guys who were contributing in the forum to make Filipino reputation rise again. Let's help each other to improve and to prove that our country is not a place for shitposters/rules violators. I know there are still a lot of good members and is proud to say that "I'm a Filipino". We are the only hope left to change our community. Don't be like those guys who were abusing Merit and the Forum.
Only you and Dabs are the only two respected members who can act as a Merit Source for Philippines Section for now so please, I'm sure that these people who were doing good won't become your pain in the head even though they ranked up. That's why I'm asking to you to award these people's effort for creating good contents with some Merit which they deserved
If I only have enough Merit to award them, I won't hesitate to. Giving these people Merit will encourage them to make good contributions more. In that case they will avoid doing bad things like abusing Merits (which only happens because they can't receive merits, I wish this wouldn't happen to good posters who don't receive enough Merits), spamming ( once a member received merit from his/her posts, I'm sure that this person will be encouraged to create more informative contents) and etc..

You're right that there are really a lot of people who were too greedy and only thinks about earning money. But we can easily recognise those people. All I want to say is, there are still some people left here in our local board who is doing well and deserves to receive Merits. We Filipino doesn't have Merit Source yet and there are some posts here which I believed they deserved Merit but receives only few Merits and not enough to award their effort.Only you and Dabs are the only two respected members who can act as a Merit Source for Philippines Section for now so please, I'm sure that these people who were doing good won't become your pain in the head even though they ranked up.
