Does this truly exist? Could this explain why merits seem to circulate among some members?

No, it does not truly exist; it only falsely exists. I originally created it as a joke to mock those who incorrectly believe merit only circulates among a few members, but it's since gotten way out of hand.

Any qualification for intending members of the club, if it existed?

You have to send and receive a large amount of merits from other members of the club, of course. The fact that we also send merits to users outside the club is immaterial and you should pay no attention to it. /s

What ? Now merit score isn't a super accurate indicator of undeniable value when analysed objectively?

It never was, nor did anyone say it was. We sincerely apologise for the incredible amount of time you wasted "debunking" something nobody ever believed in the first place. Undecided

Lol so full of shit. That's why suchmoron said it was completely stupid to suggest that some of the 99.93% of the forum could make posts as good as some posts made by the 0.07% of top merit earners. Or that all pre merit legends were spammers.

Do you think the threads are not publically available where you bunch of idiots were claiming there merit score was a legitimate metric for appraising post value. People only need to pull up CH's original threads here on meta when he stated posting regularly here to see you are completely bullshittkng.

I'm irresistible to foxy. However much the the other merit cyclers tell her not to talk to me she can't stop herself.

Ignore foxpups clear lies or opinions not based on any form of reasoning Simply pull up the top 20 merit fans and recipients of the usual gang members and see they are infested with each other, as are their trust includes.

So anyway since you have all decided to forget you were claiming high merit score = super valuable poster .. or that the score had any objective and useful meaning at all then why is the trust system based upon it and why do campaign managers care about it at all?

Merits were seriously cycled hard especially early on, they still are now but That was the crucial period. Now they may try to scatter them around to lots of different people in very minute measures knowing full well that those people will never have enough to release the strangle hold the current gang have on DT1 and therefore the best rev streams.

The entire merit based control systems have been converted into a tool to create a 2 tier system and protection racket.

I mean the OP details exactly why merit score is completely meaningless in terms of objective post value and completely open to abuse motivated by financial gain.

Now suchmoon ownes Bpip can you expand merit fans and recipients to top 25. Top 10 is to shabby.

First rule about merit cycling club
Never admit there is a merit cycling club.

Second rule about merit cycling club
Never ever ever admit wrongdoing however conclusive the proof is that a DT1 is a scammer.

Third rule about merit cycling club
Claim anyone noticing merit is cycled is CH

Obviously try to get them banned, tag them, merit starve , falsely accuse of trolling etc

Suchmoon should have stuck to her more simple explanation :

You have a merit score ? It is meaningless with regard post value. It's also a tool to crush free speech. It has other far more dangerous applications but let's not get repetitive.

Or even more concise. Merit was cancer for this forum.
