I would respectfully disagree with you on this example. For one thing, EggdraSyl isn't very active, with only 57 activity and 57 posts, AND he's already got 26 merits. I would also point out that he's posting mainly in ANN threads, which are mostly filled with garbage and he's lucky to have got what he did.
If you've got any other examples, I'll take a look to see if there are any merit-worthy posts. I've got a grand total of 2 sMerits to burn and I'm looking for good posts from under-merited members.
Photoguy is a 2014 account with only 33 posts, Parked Account.
I agree with that one, and not only was that an old post but it was a shitpost as well.
I agree with you on this one as well. The problem is that he's posting mainly in Speculation, where good posts are buried under a mountain of shit. I'll take a closer look and see if I can give him a couple merits.
Do you think the merit that was given for this post was malicious:
Whut tha flipskits is'n a rivetz? Neva herd of it.
You all own some a thet? Do it be worth summethin? Betchu it's jist anotha peace a' poop coin. Or it be on yobit, where evvathing go to die.
The post was made before the merit system was put in place, and the person who wrote it is obviously a psychotic lunatic. Probably impotent as well.
