Reputable members like you may have good intentions, but we can't deny that alt farmers like to use threads like that one to farm and cultivate merits, taking the generosity of the reputable members to their advantage. Now you understand?

Exactly, I've given merits in the Microstrategy thread to members who I later realized were merit farmers. And probably, if I were a merit source, especially one as dedicated as JJG in reading the forum, I would have given even more.

The thing is, I've already noticed how some people act—they come in and post a bullish piece of news in the thread without even checking if the same news was posted just two posts above. Stuff like that. I've already reported a few posts that have been deleted, and I'll keep doing it.

Anyway, I think this conversation, which isn't completely off-topic since it came out of the discussion, is straying from the thread's purpose, which is to report AI spam. It would be better to start another thread to talk about these merit farmers.
