I mean nowadays, because when I registered there was a lot of spam, but someone tell me this isn't stupid.

100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge

I had seen the thread before and I guess because of the title I hadn't stopped to read it but now I see that it is 174 pages long, a spam megathread at its best.

There are stupider threads, but as far as being a hub for merit farmers, yes its among the stupidest. Lets name n shame some of the worst offenders (meaning they are filled with spammy posts by merit farmers):

[CHALLENGE] Run A Bitcoin Node: 14 Days To 14 Merits
Save your nice merit records here - LAST UPDATE: 13/04/2024
Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!
[Merit] Share your best posts/threads with Fillippone to be merit assessed
[v2][Self Moderated] In Merits, Count Down To Your Next Rank...
El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender!
Buy the DIP, and HODL!

I want to note that I think these threads were started with good intentions, but became targets for merit hunters & muti-accounters.

Threads that are merit-free, zero-IQ spamfests that should be locked:

La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25
Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025
Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)
Cricket match prediction discussions
Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread
UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

No offense to people who like these sports, but if the majority of your posts are found in a combination of any of the above-mentioned threads, that means they most likely suck, and you most likely run multiple accounts on the forum. That's just based on my empirical experience with the forum.
