Since account farmers are always finding new way this means we had to stop to make proposal to avoid their bad / scam behaviour? Roll Eyes

Interesting theory let me say this.

Regarding the other part of your post, I don't know if you're serious or ironic, but no one asked or suggested going from one extreme to the other.
It's clear that certain accounts have accumulated a quantity of merits that reached the level "scam against the forum", scam against its users, and against the signature system.

If we consider any act of issuing merit as "at the sole discretion of a user who cannot be removed or judged"... Roll Eyes

(more feudalism system than a modern ones) it's clear that some "smart guys" have clearly taken advantage of this...

You can jokes as much as you want. However if you are going to trust a guy that rigged the merit system, you're trusting the same guy that has collected (doxx) of private users ...and so on... I don't know how much these users could be trusted or public defended but it is always funny to read certain messages

Merit system worked for a while until it didn't. I am all for ending the spam but let's face it, campaign managers can hire accounts with very low earned merits too if they wanted to and a person with low earned merits might be a person that produces better posts than the OG's of the forum.

They probably do that individual inspections on the accounts before they hire people for signature campaigns anyway. And If they don't, that's the problem we need to solve because this problem, actually has a real solution unlike the problem that is described in the title of this thread.
