For a thread that has about 174 pages, i think it's not the most stupidest thread ever but if it is, then the moderators failed in their duty and not about the creator of the thread nor the users who make replies on the thread be it those that are only farming merits or those that are genuinely taking part in the challenge. I once took path in the challenge and i know the impact it did to my health and my fitness. Whether the meme has anything to do with Satoshi or the ability of bitcoin reaching $100k or not, i assume everything that we come across with on this forum is true and if they are, i don't know why we still identify scammers, cheaters and liars here.

I don't know why people are so concerned about merit farmers when it is clear that the merit system is not regulated.

For threads that is open for users who are close to their next ranks and for post reviews for merits; if merit is being circulated without bias or by favoritism and more merit sources where to be active in distributing merits to quality posts, we will have very few users farming merits in a particular thread. BTW, are we also going to refer to high ranked users that makes replies in those acclaimed merit hunting threads as merit farmers? Let us be more transparent and diplomatic in handling things in the forum so that it will create a fair atmosphere for all, be it low ranked or high ranked. However, let us not forget that we all started from someone before we got to where we are today. Cheers to everyone
