Since I have been on this forum, I noticed that merit is not censored. Admin and moderators do not interfere with merit system than theymos given merit sources merits. It is people that are discussing about it in a way if anyone that is seen doing manipulation can be given neutral trust.
No need for his merit to be removed. If truly the person used AI and people agree to it, why not just leave him neutral trust and state the reason and put the reference link. It is better this way.
