It never occurred to you that your behavior with rewarding voters actually encourages abuse? If you and others hadn't rewarded the people who voted for you, that thread would have twice as few pages as it has now.
Did it ever occur to you that before you write such sayings, you need to check? Didn't come? So check. I send measurements to absolutely all users who took part in the vote, and not to those who voted for me.
And note, I'm sending my smerit, not the one that the forum gives me. Since I earn about 220 smerit per month, I can afford such a procedure. Somehow, at the beginning of this contest, icopress wrote to me that I should not support only those who vote for me, but if I support, then everyone. I agreed to this offer, but not as a merit source, because I think that these posts are not worth spending on them merit, which gave me theymos for valuable posts. So don't tell me your tales of abuse and achieving own goals here. I am the only user who sends merit to everyone (with rare exceptions, excluding any forum trolls and cheaters known to me).
