That's truly interesting!! User: 334783
I wouldn't mind posting my full merit history in my blog. There seems to be a bit of contoversy about the awarding of meits, and that might help in the clarification of some issues. I don't think it is worth clogging this thread with the list, as i could host it, and post a link. What would be the easiest way for you to send it - do you want me to open an ftp account for you if you are prepared to send the list?
Just yesterday on the Spanish board we were having a discussion related to the controversy about merits. In there, even when it is kind of easy to earn some, there are always from the same people. That's because there are actually few users active in there, and almost all the topics deserve merits (they are usually well-thought, constructive, intelligent...). But, of course, if you take a look at most of the spanish users on this board, you can think they are abusing the system, when they are not. This is a concerning matter in the Spanish one, for many good users spend their time only in there (either because they like it most or because they can't speak English).
So, just to be fair, I'd like to say that if you see some activity that you consider suspicious, maybe it is better if before making any conclusion you check where are the merits coming from, check the topics before judging. My profile is not the case, for I spend much time in the English boards, but I won't like to see some users being unfairly accused of farming when they aren't.
