you can also get merited just for your good writing habit (behavior) e.g, don't know if his reason for giving merits were due to he had so much but Jet Cash once gave merits to almost everyone who commented on a topic for not quoting original post/quote spamming. You might not be a merit/forum analyzer or scam buster but in the little way you can contribute to the forum, do and you will receive the merits.

Edited: Thanks for the correction, I have been so used to Loyce good deeds that I mistake this one as his.
