So basically merit is not worth more than posts. I still don't understand one thing, did I see a thread earlier that said "I bought 10 merit, will give to different high-quality posts", can you actually buy merit and if so what is the point then?
No, you can't buy merit. Probably that guy earned that from his posts. Merit buying isn't allowed.
But there are members here who are willing to review posts to distribute their sMerit to other members. Who's that guy that said he actually bought 10 merit?
