Also, the reason I'm keeping an eye on the members I've mentioned is that I've also gotten post history review requests from Amphenomenon, who also merited you for the post in question and though I said there's no hard evidence of Hatchy and Mia Chloe being alts, if I'm being honest I'm not ruling it out.  I'm just being alert, because I've been fooled and my review offer has been abused before.
Thanks for all you do God bless you. I get you have been taken as a fool for you trying to help others like this and it's understandable after everything that happened before and now I feel more open to clear myself out of all this drama :
Earning merit wasn't easy for me at first till I read this fillippone  thread which was an eye opener and a guide I'm grateful for. Here is a quote from it :
Don’t hoard your sMerit. Spend them, according to aforementioned criteria, but spend them. Find good material on the forum and reward someone. This will start a few positive feedback loops: first this will encourage more good posts on the forum, that is our main objective, secondly will create some kind of “bond” with the merited person, that will recognise you next time you write and will be more keen to merit you back( this is not merit begging or merit swapping, it is more a subtle, psychological, not conscious effect)  and lastly, above all will signal you as a user that recognise good posts. A user recognising good posts is perceived as a user writing good posts: you send Merits, the more they will come back to you!
I have tried this and it do work and sometimes I do feel like meriting others who has merited me and that day I thought about meriting Cantsay. Then opt for the post He was last merited unfortunately saw that post and he got 3 merit from it and then decided to add 1 extra never thought @Turn it off will just be a newbie let's be Frank who will expect a newbie to do just that all I thought was that Turn it off was just another unknown I rank member then boom all these drama.
