Forum has anti spam bot. Is it possible to create bot which scan posts for plagiarism, if passes then scan for quality. Bot should be able to give merit or recommend post for merit. Depends what is better.
A merit bot is too hard to make and is not needed.
We already have TMan who swears at shiposters, plagiarists and merit beggars as well as ridiculing them.
Yeah, I've just found that thread.
I don't think if something is hard to make that shouldn't be make.
Needed or not? Time will show. You have galore of "how to get merit for beginners" threads. Of course, created to get merit.
