Please refrain from using large fonts on your posts. Even though the forum provides that option, it is generally pointless and frowned upon.

The topic at hand has been mentioned hundreds of times. Personally, I don’t care if people are chasing merits or not, providing they do it through creating decent content, avoid spamming the forum and respecting the rules.

The problem is that most posts don’t care for content that much, and simply default to quick answers in order to raise post count or comply with campaign quotas. Then, many realize that in order to rank-up they need merit and start whine about it and, at the same time, showing a posting history that is far from meritable. The principle to follow is simple: invest time and effort into your posts, and think through the content before hitting the post button.
