Halab is moderator on French Local Board and he is Merit Source. Please respect him, and me at the same time, avoiding wrong accusations.
As I said, there are different ways to earn them. You can have another opinion, I respect that. But some courtesy is always appreciated.
Pardon. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Well, in my message you can see that I stayed some place for being wrong.
It's normal to aim for merits and wanting to rank up but cheating and violating the rules is not fair. I didn't expect that he's smart enough to think of doing that with pre-answered questions. But other members here are way more smarter to notice it, which is good. Just like what I have said before, merits are for those who deserves it. It takes time and efforts to earn merits. Do not rush things, it's better to work things the hard way and use your skills and knowledge to earn merits.
Just want to add that if you're going to make a thread, add the links of your sources of the articles to avoid plagiarism. You can share that article here in the forum. You can paraphrase it, just include the link and give your insights as well.
As I see the forum is full of people who do not afraid to report any suspicious moves and mods do their job.
That's why there are so many newbies here, who were registered in 2019 year - they cheated and thought nothing will happen. So now they try to start from the beginning to not loose such nice source of income and promotion. But in the most of cases they cheat again, because with rank of newbie you can't do almost nothing here.
