I checked the posts, and although I don't agree with Meriting them, I don't expect him to be removed as a source over this.
Surely theymos can replace with another member who could use sMerit more wisely.
Yes. You might want to send a PM to theymos and ask him to take a look at it. Vlad2Vlad tends to send tons of merits to his shitcoin thread and now promoting a hypertroll... not a good look.
Is he a merit source? I think somewhere I read if a merit source abuse his sMerits the theymos will revoke his merit source status but if anyone do anything with his earned sMerits then he (theymos) does not have a problem.
theymos rarely revoke merit source status, i only remember it happened one time (
