Welcome back, always knew you were alive 😉. The merit discussion is getting tiresome but the goodness is there's a reduction in the new thread created on this topic although the merit related discussion is something we can't ends since it's a part of the forum. Some threads like this makes a lot of sense compared to the random threads created by mostly newbie acting like they can give you want they don't have.

Just to add some thought on the ongoing discussion, here's mind. If you received a merit from me.. it likely means that:

• First and foremost, you deserved it (I hardly make mistakes but not immune to one) sometimes I might send amount ordinary, you'll feel it's too much but that's just how I operate.
• Your post was above average but doesn't necessarily mean I found them useless to myself. It probably would had been a recommended thread from someone else as I get that alot.
• Could be out of my generosity as I practice that alot especially in my service related threads

On some occasion too, I could be in a rush to spend my monthly allocation before they declare especially when the month hasn't been fruitful in regards to finding deserving post.
