If your a newbie I guess your weren't aware of this thread that came out around August last year
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5464606.0 Merit farming in the
WO thread has gotten way out of hand.
The typical merit farmer post is a copy/pasted tweet from a large bitcoin-focused Twitter account, complete with picture and (often in smaller text) the word "source" with a link to the tweet. These accounts are literally just taking popular tweets and pasting them in WO for no other reason than to get merits. You'll see them on just about every single page of the thread this year.
Although It seems a Post created based on pure assumption, I just wanted to give newbies a heads up about the kind of post accepted here, I've not heard any news on any major forum rules changes based on this. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up .
