I would add that they don't need to go opening threads about how cool the merit system is, full of spelling mistakes, to see if they catch any merit because they may end up on some people's ignore list. Just being willing to learn, and willing to share your knowledge by helping others, is enough.
Hah. This is just too common. Some of them even are like "I'm just new to this forum" but then for some reason they already know everything about merits to bounties to the heavy bans concerning plagiarism and such. Totally not an alt account at all. 🤔
Yah.... psychologically.... it's just like telling someone "don't take the money I hid under the box in my bedroom" in the ears of many
you've already betrayed the purpose of hiding the money in the first place....
you just want someone to go steal it
