Trying out to exchange BKC for some merit? This isnt a giveaway after all but rather an exchange or simply buying merits indirectly.
If you are that serious with the project then whether you do get merit or not, then it wont matter.
Yep, merit trading isn't allowed.
He might think if his thread received many merits, it will make people to trust their project, but merit itself isn't always mean the project is legit. Feedback is all the matters, if the representative get red tag, it would ruin the whole project.
I've tag him with a neutral tag.
