Should I remove the red trust knowing the person sold the merits?

No, you should not. Not even if they send you a message telling you their kids will starve to death because of your feedback (because that's a lie, as is any idiotic plea like that).

I've started tagging obvious merit abusers, because after thinking about this whole issue ever since the inception of the merit system, I've decided that abusing it is exactly what I was trying to fight when it got created--the ability of shitposters to participate in campaigns and thereby spread their Engrish manure all over the forum.

It's so obvious, it's derp. When these people get merits they don't deserve, they're going to rank up, earn more money in campaigns, and have incentive to keep doing this shit. So I'm negging them, and I hope DT members keep doing it as well, AND I hope that the sig campaigns keep not accepting users with DT negatives.

This guy is obviously going to listen to you because he seems to have an extreme hard on for following any rule regardless of circumstance. Everyone is automatically guilty. Nevermind that it was an honest mistake that I admitted. Nevermind that the rules had poor implementation and explanation. Nevermind anything else, RULES must follow rules at all costs!!11! no wiggle room for anything else!

I mean seriously, where is the understanding in some people. The admins out of the blue created a bunch of new rules out of nowhere and gave everyone some points. I don't even recall a description of how it all worked being mandatory. Why isn't there a description somewhere each time you use them or a PM/email that was sent to everyone? You know like in red letters saying something to the effect of "careful using merit points, misuse will drive people crazy and swarm on you like a hive of bees falling into your lap!" If that happened I don't even remember it. So I explained in detail how it went down and basically said whoops my bad guys, won't happen again. Can you be a bit understanding about the whole thing? NOPE, fuck you Sparky you're a piece of shit die slow and here is your negative trust. No messages, no warnings, just bam here you go. I just can't be ok with something like that.
