I have been an active member of this community since 2018.
I think I gave a lot, and of course, I have also received a lot. But over the last weeks it was the first time I have been properly annoyed by one member of this community (Well, there was a previous case, but this is another story).
My telegram handle is not public, but someone was smart enough to contact me over Telegram by finding my handle.
I received a call from an unknown contact.
Then a chat appeared:

| Tanya Called | Tanya became Alvy. Of course he is a smart guy |
|  |  |
| The guy was quite pushy | Continued |
Now he is blocked, and my Telegram handle was changed to make it less easily guessable.
I understand this is part of the game, but it made me feel unwell, as as I clearly state on my merit thread:
What you don't get applying to get a post merited:- The certainty of a merit for your submission.
- The timely assessment of the quality of your merit submission.
- The right to discuss my meriting choices. My meriting habits aren't under scrutiny here.
Let alone ringing my phone and harassing me with a merit request.
I will continue to do my best to help this community. I just wanted to share this with this unknown user.
