Honestly, I would like to know how the Wall Observer is easier to get mertis, compared to other areas of the forum?
I don't understand this theory. But, okay.
Its been mentioned a few times already but its because a lot of merit sources hang out in that thread, and anything pro-BTC or pro-number-go-up is thus deemed eligible for a merit. That in itself isn't the problem. The problem is that this phenomenon attracts a lot of lazy shitposters looking for merits to rank up.
The end result is firstly a lot of unnecessary spam and secondly the empowerment and multiplication of lazy shiposters, much akin to the creation of a beggar culture. Its developmentally crippling for these users and if the bleeding heart merit givers really cared for these people they would stop enabling them -- stop teaching them that spamming and ass-kissing pays.
Looking at your case. You are credible at giving merits, except when you give merits in WO. This doesn't make any sense!
If we consider a source of merit, as someone credible, he will be credible in the whole forum, not just in some parts of the forum.
This is a great impartial observation.
Are you reading this Wordyman?
If you saw people mindlessly copy/pasting Twitter posts in any other thread, would you merit them there as well?
