I will merit whom I please

Exactly! People are free to merit whomever the please. If this rule applies to you, why does it not apply to the top 200 merit receivers/senders/sources or the Meta board, against which you seem to have some sort of personal vendetta?

Look, I agree that Altcoin Discussion needs to be improved, and I have no doubt that in amongst the piles and piles of shitposts there are a handful of good posters who go unrecognized. The fact is, no one has the time or energy to spend hours digging through 100+ pages of trash to find the one or two good posts worthy of a merit. If you want to improve things, then your energy would be better spent reporting posts for deletion and threads for locking than it would be rampaging in Meta against some perceived "inner circle of merits". Especially since theymos agrees with the whole "I will merit whomever I please" thing.

Aside from that, if people complain about whether things deserve merit at all, then that's something to perhaps think about, but if you conclude that they're wrong, then that's that. You don't need to stress about it or defend yourself constantly.

Why are you people even jumping on this like I have not already said this 10x before and I have said already I have probably sent more merit to top holders on meta than other people?? the fact you assume some vendetta to produce data which clearly demonstrates what I have said all along then you feel you are doing something wrong which I have never said nor assumed. Meta is subjective how can you be doing anything wrong ? therefore why is it a vendetta? I can't accept this concept is too complicated for these top merit holders to grasp.

Do you honestly still not get the point.

Does this seem like some double standard from me? Honestly after all that has been said you think this is the point. NO.

Anyone can send merit to posts they wish or whom they wish. There is nothing wrong with it. It is understandable you send to people on boards you post on the most and to those you align views with the most. This is natural behaviour. It is fun, it is nice to reward people that provide stats, or do things you ask for and provide info you find useful. I like the merit system it's cool and helps somewhat to prevent spam.

What they can't claim is a high merit score better poster than low merit score. That really is it.

No need for all this fuss and excitement once you just accept that. Once you accept merit for what it is then you can just enjoy meriting who you want for posts you feel are good. If you want to bookmark certain peoples post histories and just check them for good posts that is totally acceptable and fine.

Why is this still being discussed is the weirdest thing. It is like a few people can not accept their merits scores do not make them proven and tested great posters by any kind of objective criteria. Also from debating even simple things with them it is quite obvious that the fact they could even dream that they could be valued according to their merit scores compared to all other members is ludicrous.

Let's discuss something new. I am ready for a new topic since this is debate has been thrashed out and is now rotating in circles with mostly people just repeating things that have been said before. Even entire reams of stats that had been presented before.
If people wish to read the entire history of this debate they can easily find the threads and read and decide for themselves.
