Yep--I lost my motivation almost completely after Theymos created the merit system, since that seemed to reduce the motivation for idiots to continue shitposting. There was a time when I'd visit those spam megathreads and spend an hour or two just going through them and reporting all the nonsense, no-value crap to the mods. Usually I'd pick up on some alt accounts, too.

The Skeptical Chymist - would you mind correcting your quote, something seems wrong.

Previously - I also had the same habit of trying to find bad posters. I've purposely taken the time to go page after page in a some thread only to find posts that have no value or are completely useless to report on - but as time goes by, that habit has become rare on my part.

I'm a little tired of it all because it feels like a responsibility - so I just report less often than before because I'm no longer digging for it in the trash pile. I still really want to do it with no strings attached - that's the contribution I can make to the forum even though my reporting accuracy percentage has dropped to 99%.

I know it isn't top priority for him, but it'd be nice to acknowledge the members who help keep the forum clean and do it for free and with nearly no recognition.

Something done behind the scenes will likely go unrecognized – even if they have spent countless hours contributing. I would also like to thank those who take the time to keep the forum clean - they are warriors.
