These merit farming spammers have been originating from your local board as well and its getting very tiring as you may have noticed from the WO thread which is one of the most tolerant places there are.
Everyone who farms accounts on WO is very clearly visible, and in the case of a beginner, it looks very fake. Today, well-known old-timers have remained in the WO branch, but those newcomers who post pictures, wagging their tails and expecting merit, stand out for their diligence. It is noticed that it is Pakistani newcomers who regularly visit this topic, apparently finding a quick and easy way to climb the ranks.
