4. Be original and unique.
Do not repeat what has already been said. if necessary, add a link to the source in your post.

No need to put ( if ). It's always necessary to add the link of the source in the posts or else it will be called plagiarism as we all know. By the way this is what I like the most being original and unique in terms of posting. When posting it is important to check your post before posting if there's any mistyped words or mistakes, why? Users might find it hard to understand your point or topic you made.

I think it’s not that necessary to add link…as many don’t even care of it but still get merit points..
So it was necessary to have “if” in the article the guy wrote

I was perplexed to have seen the subject of the thread but, when I looked as to how long ago the thread was created and even the last comment on the thread before yours @musa_scorpion which dates back to 2018, i wonder why you had to whip those dead horse of over 5years just to point out a well established fact though.
You didn't break any rules though but, I felt you must have been warned to be posting in a thread that haven't been posted in for a long time and to spell out the word "if" must have been pretty important to beat this dead horse. Okay!

When I saw the post, I thought that it would recieve some kinds of attack from some forum members. When I wasn't seeing any attack, I had to go check the date the topic was created and it dated back to 2018. Which means there were no much attacks then when someone posts anything about merits. This could be because the merit system was newly introduced then, it will be helpful seeing any thread that discuss it.

These days if someone of lower rank create such a post, many people will attack him and accuse him of merit fishing altogether.
