I can't call decent members to those who use the support of locals on local board to rank up and then post shit posts on international boards in English language.
Am I the only one who sees this tendency? There are a lot of people who post shit posts but have lots of merits, then I check their profiles and 95% of merits come from local boards. This problem really exists, this is a loophole that shitposters use.
What's the purpose of merit if I may ask you? To appreciate helpful contribution if I am correct, right? Judging from your perspective, even if a post is useful to the local board it should not be merited since it's a local board. That's a very weak argument. The merit sources are not that foolish to be meriting every post if they're not merit worthy.
It's true that some people are not fluent in English but that doesn't stop them from contributing massively to their local board with their local board. Having majority of their merit from local board simply means they are more active there. By the way, campaign manager are not always after merit but the quality of your post.
