Merited post:

If you ask for my opinion, I would say this is mocking the system (assuming both users aren't connected in some manner) and this transaction should be reversed immediately. I see people struggle to rank up while been very productive yet users like this make their effort look useless. The post isn't worthy of even 1 merit talk more of 50 and assuming one could send more than 50 merit per month to particular users, the user would had probably gotten more.

I know the merit issue is very subjective but come on guys cases like this that involves large amount of merit shouldn't be overlooked. This is obviously a misused of the system and it shouldn't be encouraged considering the post been merited isn't even a quality (contributive) post. Seems this most have been an airdropped smerits which again bring about the discussion, all Airdropped smerit that haven't been used upto now should be decayed to minimize scenario like this from reoccuring.

We should have a report button for cases like this (large merit abuse) so the adminstrator can investigate and probably reverse the transaction).


This isn't an offense worthy of ban (they haven't broken any forum rules which consequences is getting banned), we're also discourage from leaving negative feedbacks on users account for behaviors that doesn't involve trust like spamming, merit abuse etc best solution would be a reversal of the transaction by theymos.

Ps: Can @LoyceV get his demerit source status already to tackle issues like this.
