Merit discussions never gets old 🤣
How Legendary members share so many merits among themselves is a little strange, but it raises interesting questions.

A brand new account or lower rank account is creating some very high quality posts. You are impressed. Sent out some merit. After few days you discovered the account is banned for plagiarism. This is one of the many scenario. But that does not mean that we should not send merit to lower rank member, we all do.
When a good post is coming from a higher rank member, you know that he is not fishing for merit or at least some part of the posts are genuine.
What are your suggestions/Excuse?
Don't make it boring.
