Well, you helped a serial shitposter to rank up by giving an outrageous amount of merits to him.  I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you obviously aren't a case of someone not realizing the significance of the merit system.

You do realize why the merit system was implemented, right?  It was to prevent shitposters from ranking up by making it really hard for them to earn merits.  By giving this dork a whopping 40 merits for a post that didn't even deserve a single one, you're enabling someone to continue to shitpost for money--and it's not appreciated.  Glad you at least admitted your motivation for doing this.
