He writes in broken English like me and many other forum members. I agree that was kind of merit farming thread. I won't say I am 100% sure that it was a merit farming thread. You don't know what was in his mind when he created that thread. Since it's just a neutral feedback, I don't think he should think much about it. Instead, he should move forward.

If that thread creator opened that thread emotionally, I guess you should have some respect. I see that thread is locked and Ricardo also apologized to you. @Recardo, it's a neutral feedback. You should move on and refrain from creating threads which may look like you are trying to farming merits.
