Regarding this, it reminds me of one of our friends who has given an explanation regarding the purpose of this thread. _BlackStar already said that if a member wants to make the countdown better if the remaining merit is around 5 or 10, he even gives some examples of members who are eligible to make a countdown;
Pay attention to the rules in the OP, it seems that they can really explain how this thread works so it doesn't deviate from its purpose. I believe this thread is starting to get abused by some users who think they'll easily earn merit by making countdowns, it's like begging if basically the quality of their posts isn't worth it. IMO - Meanwhile, some users deserve help and some are just begging.
