I have personally noticed that JJG has been doing really great on the forum and he has been meriting many posts outside of the WO thread.

That's great. He should continue to do that anywhere except the WO thread which is basically unmoderated and thus littered with the droppings of merit pigeons.

I would personally keep quiet in such matter because if someone like JJG is meriting the posts in WO then he maybe doing that because some of those memes maybe related Bitcoin and its price. I know that sometimes it's a little bit annoying when we see a user getting merited just by posting memes, but the members of the WO thread like memes that are related to Bitcoin and their love for Bitcoin makes them to merit those meme containing posts without any discrimination. I think they have been doing that kind of post meriting for a long time and no body has ever opposed their actions, and I also think that theymos is also aware of the activity in WO and he also hasn't taken any action to suppress the activity of that thread. I know that the ones who are posting those memes without proper referencing should be reported, but the ones who're properly referencing their posts may not be suppressed for the activity.

You maybe right in your approach because you don't want those members to be merited who aren't contributing to the forum like other contributing members. Well, in that case I also agree with your thinking, but such kind of activity is also taking place outside of WO thread and every member of the forum is aware of that. If we look at the local boards or local board threads then there are many such users who are taking advantage of the members and are getting merited for their posts. I'm not favoring JJG or any other member of the WO thread and I'm also not against the ones who created this thread, but I don't think that disabling someone like JJG from that thread would be any good to the forum because he has been a long time member of the forum and has contributed a lot to the forum. I hope that any decision taken will be in favor of the forum and we all will support those decisions.
