Hmmm…. I do merit the WO mostly from my source merits

I don't believe source merits are distinguishable.. are they? .. and then.. should they be? o_0 (hmm..)

PowerGlove's idea seems interesting as a thread-based setting, I just don't like the restriction in general.. it would be painful to see accounts under those levels making a great post and not being able to get any merit for them because of a thread setting.

And could this help scammers? Unrelated to WO, but posts from lower ranked victims may not be able to get the attention/merit on a thread they deserve because their accounts are under the level the scammer set on the thread, probably while at the same time the scammer merit's his (likely bought) legendary account(s) supporting the scam.

This is a good question. The loose merit givers are at least limited in number whereas the shitposters are amassing an infinitely large zombie army. Yet their growth could be stopped (at least in the WO thread) if the loose merit givers tightened up... which for whatever reason they refuse to do. I dunno, I guess the zombies aggravate me more.

I'd lean towards being more aggravated with the merit giver.. but both can be annoying. Merit can't be undone. I'm just not one to judge another person's merit giving, assuming it isn't somehow being used to abuse the forum and its members. Source merit might be another story entirely which IMO inherently comes with judgement.. but again, how would one distinguish what merit is being handed out as source merit, or just the merit received from other members for their posts?
