⭐ Merited by cabalism13 (1)
Don't forget that thread is like a court so when he report 2-3 posts and they're all shitpost as you said he'll either be reported by other merit sources to be removed as a merit source or given suggestions by other reputed merit source on what quality post are. Right now I'll say it could be, he's meriting post just because he agrees to it or maybe he wanted to finish his remaining merits before starting this topic to replicate The Pharmacist's success. I can't really tell though.
Just see what kind of posts QuestionAuthority was merited
1.30 merits for this
could really handle some merit!
2.30 for thisI'm here! 
3.30 for this awesome post nice
and lot more if you see the next replies on that thread itself.I thought these merit transaction will be reversed by theymos but not yet happened.there still is a difference between sending 30merit or 2merit as well.... and also their still being send mostly to good members as well.
someone like bitserve just to say that has growing activity to become legendary..... have many good posts (isn't it nice for such a member to receive a merit out of camaraderie, generosity (even for just being a all over the time good poster....) so people like them could rank UP
I saw TMAN as well give 50 merit for some one just to hit 1K merit (thats more like all the merit of Globb0)
but I do understand that cause he's a said he's was an overall good poster and like to help him out (absolutely nothing against his action, but its just a similar thing)
everybody has he's moments and reasons I guess, nothing wrong with that .... and QA just didn't liked the system, so thats why he gave out the merit (the good thing is he did it @ the best thread of the forum, and they went all to respected members, that send the given merit out with much care so there's NP as well I guess.
