No such thing as a merit 'rule'. It's a free for all.

Merit as agreement is pretty common. I got 50 merits for one single moan that another poster evidently felt rather strongly about.
Now that people have noticed how rare merit is to receive I don't think there is many 50 merit transactions. These were probably sent because the merit system was new and people did not know the worth of merits.

If that does not deserve a merit, what can we do? Merit sender has his own decision and he can be bias if he wants to, there's no rules on how merit system should be given, that's only from a sole discretion of the sender, for whatever purpose he wants.

The post mentioned what posts or comments should be merited but it doesn't specifically answer my question of how many merits should be given. Or did I miss something there?

Maybe. Is there a specific guideline on how many merits should be spent on a post or comment? If there is none, there is no need to fuss about how other users distribute their merit.

Here, you will find the best guideline. One just needs to read it.

So... What you think?
Users are free to share their merit with anyone, any amount. The sender felt that he wants to give 10 merits so, he sent it out. No one is obliged to policing here. In rare cases I think theymos said somewhere that he will reverse it.

Anyway, to be honest if I were the user then I would not send that much merit for this response.

Those are the facts, it's up to the admins and DTs to determine if this is an abuse of the merit system or not. 
I have seen some DTs to tag account for merit abusing but it is no more in practice.

Both accounts have recently woken up. aksplace has not posted anything since 2017. He woke up today at 3:54:11 AM, wrote that post at 04:00:05 AM and 5 minutes later, at 04:05:13 he got those 10 merits.

The poster had some doubts on the project (GOLD) and the merit guy just wanted to show his strong agree. That's all I can think of. As far as I know, merit is not moderated and hence people can freely use it: as a way of agreeing to something, give-to-receive, funny post/comment... I don't think we should be harsh on merit.

Whether a post deserves merit or not, it's in the eyes of beholder.

But then I see this,



10 merits?
Single line post?
No substance?

ps: I don't have anything against, the poster guy or the merit giving guy. I just felt like sharing it.

So... What you think?
