LOL, are some of you aware that some of the users who started posting votes in the voting thread in the last few pages are spam posters trying to get some merit easily just citing a few merit source? 
I noticed that too. This high Activity bounty spammer turned Jr. Member because of this post. At least mole0815 noticed it too:Unfortunately, I overdid it with the merit distribution when there is a mention.
All in all it's only a few Merit amongst thousands of bounty spammers. They can't scale it to many more, if they do it will be noticed.
Almost seems like some people just nominate the ones that have given Merits to other people voting for them.
As bad as it makes me feel, I will also not give any Merits to people voting for me.
Also I am pretty sure the vouchers are an even bigger motivation for them to just vote vor someone.
