Re: Your post history is responsible for your unmerited status.
Funniest thing ever, I don't understand how @NadiaHel or I ended in this conversation, of course, for some personal reasons. But, in order to farm any account, you need some merit-transaction, I think.
Whatever, man, if you have some bipolar disorder, please, place your controversial feelings into the right Board (EDIT, reputation).
Aside from that looking at a member's post history tells you a lot if he/she is really deserving to receive a merit. Sometimes if I visit someone's post history just to do a little background check I will notice that he only has just one good post (the one I am considering sending a merit) and the rest of it is trash, that is when I realized the chances of it being a copy-pasted post is high. The bottomline is doing background checks won't hurt as your sMerits are really limited and you must send it to people who are really deserving.
Totally what I was trying to say. To me, the post history is just a great way of taking a look at the normal behaviour and to detect plagiarism. Of course, people can change, and that's awesome, but to have some references is always nice. Also, I don't believe that, if you make a great post after a lot of crap just because you need a merit to continue crapping, you deserve anything, because of the whole point of the new merit implementation: to reduce spam. Well, just from my perspective, I prefer to merit a common attitude.
