Agreed but I still appreciate those who reports post, plagiarism, scam expecting merits. Because they are truely helping the forum a lot with their efforts.
The fact is, the logic behind putting merits vary person to person. For example, marlboroza put sMerits on different scam report posts while Jet Cash is quite opposite of it. On the other hand, Jet Cash put sMerits on underserved posts (admitted by himself), just for not quoting the OP which I am not agreed.
Earlier, r1s2g3 have said to check users bpip whether he is banned or not, while suchmoon (probably) said quality is the only reason to send sMerits, no matter who he is what he has done(exception plagiarism).
