What brought me here in the first place is I was doing a review of all the posters that had been identified as using AI text generators to write their posts for them. About a hundred of them have posted in this thread, frequently quoting each others' posts. I don't hate JJG, I don't hate anyone, I just think that ball washing is a less-than-honorable approach to obtaining merits. If the only reason you joined this forum is to get merits and rank up for a sig campaign then you should do the rest of us a favor and leave.


After the Wall Observer thread, my next-most merited thread was my own "merit scholarship" thread, where I gave away 627 merits to those trying to rank up who also showed potential for original thought. In all, I've merited 1630 accounts, placing me #17 among those with the largest merit circles, and in the top 20% of all merit sources. I'm also the 26th most generous merit sender overall.

I try my hardest not to give merits to merit seekers but rather to those who demonstrate original thought. Sometimes there's some overlap, and that's fine. Sometimes I get tricked and I don't like that. So yeah, I can be a bit stingy with my merits. That's because there's nothing worse than seeing a Hero or Legendary account that does nothing but spew garbage for the sake of meeting their campaign quota.

OK I've said all I need to say, I'll let y'all get back to doing... whatever it is you're doing here.
