Merit abuse.I think he is abusing the merit of being a senior member. He gave him 21 merits for a simple post. WOW thread a Senior members are given merit if they post any kind of posts. I think if senior members give merit to a new member's post then he will try to post better.
Hard disagree.
Not giving merit to the humans emulating merit-seeking AI encourages them to either go away or retrain their neural networks to come up with better posts. Those are both positives.
Though this is certainly a WOW thread.
