You have been posting your countdown in this thread for quite some time. If I am not mistaken, when you were about to rank up to Full Member. Some new rules may have been adjusted, it would be strange if you didn't see that point, while you saw the part about the minimum 25 Merit deficit to the next rank to make a countdown post.
What's even stranger is that you didn't know and I told you. But you didn't do anything with your post.
OP, maybe you should take a look at your thread once in a while. You might see some things that need to be straightened out.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this user you are trying to put in the right way has apologized for their mistake so I see no reason to keep calling this person out. If you say the user is spamming, then what are you doing? If you want to correct such things, there's nothing wrong in giving a PM. It's not fair that we tell ourselves that we are trying to do the right thing when in reality we are just trying to get attention. Dude, rest this.
To the Op, sorry to derail this thread from what it's originally made for.
