IMO if someone is going to red paint another for leaving reciprocal merit, they should do it evenly and not pick and choose. :/
I agree, which is why I've been conflicted about leaving negs for suspected merit abuse from day one, and I said it in another thread that if you were to look at my merit history you'd probably think I was trading them with TMAN or Foxpup--and I have no way of proving that in reality I have no idea who either of them are, have never spoken to either one outside of a couple of PMs (TMAN) that did not pertain to merits or anything like that, and that it's a case of respecting one another.
This guy here, though? Looks like he's cheating bounties as well. That is a forum no-no, and I'm confident my feedback here is correct.
Thanks for chiming in, Vod. I specifically asked for your opinion here

, and now I have it. I'm going to revisit any feedback I've left specifically for merit abuse, and I'll probably end up deleting it. I hate doing that, but I tend to agree with you on the merit issue.
