Lots people here are so hypocrits on making merits use strictly yet using it on ass licking purposes.
I can tell you're still big mad that your mini farm got busted. But whats the point on carrying on. You're not exactly winning the hearts and minds of anyone, and you're not going to change anything, or anyone's opinions about anything.
Because he is goddamn @LoyceV, he can do whatever he wants even construct an unofficial guidelines for trust system and enforce it to everyone like its the rule in forum.
He's not just smarter than you, he works way harder than you, and that is why he is LoyceV. He doesn't "enforce" anything and uses the trust system rather sparingly compared to many other DTs.
Also, Smerits don't expire (decay). I think that's a reason why most users don't give out their smerits. If it's possible to make smerits expire after, let's say, 120 days, it might probably encourage users to give out their smerit instead of letting them expire.
For me personally, nah. I would rather let my merits expire than give them out to shitposters or tryhards that probably have 4 alt accounts.
