I've visited that thread a few times and had sort of noticed that the merit distribution was like the booze at a billionaire's cocktail party, free-flowing and copious. All the shitposters who figured out where that party was are like filthy vagrant gatecrashers dressed up in tuxedos they don't actually own.

They probably do own the tuxedos. You can grab a tuxedo costume for ~.002BTC.. hat, bow tie & cane sold separately, but I'm sure the advertisers have provided enough funds for it.

... I'd wear it. Grin

Who aggravates you all more.. those throwing the booze/merit around to the shitposters, or those shitposters trying to get the booze/merit being thrown around?

I don't spend a huge amount of time at WO, but I do find various posts of interest, and enjoy the (sort of) laid-back atmosphere. Outside of the twitter re-posts, and the (illogical) failed meme attempts which sometimes get merit, I can't say I even fully understand why a short statement echo'ing what the market is doing on any given day, or throwing out any wild speculation, would get 5-10+ merit, even for "senior" members, but I try not to judge.. it is a speculation thread after all, and, for sources, I'm sure it feels much easier to drop this type of merit when a constant flow is coming in.

Some of it can be entertaining, and some of them seem completely useless, to me at least. But I'm not sure if merit should be the issue here, I'd lean more towards moderation of the useless posts until they get the hint those posts are not welcome.. in this case, would that be infofront?
