You're ranking up newbies by simply letting them promise they'll follow the rules and copy/paste a line from the rules...
As a matter of fact, 2 of the newbies you just ranked up were on my ignore list... A list to which i add people that blurt out pure garbage multiple times. I never add somebody because they're making unsubstantial posts once, I only add them after I see them repeating such behaviour multiple times.
Don't get me wrong, i'm just wondering if this is the right way to do this... I'm afraid you're giving spammers and account farmers a loophole, but it's fine if you think otherwise.
I don't have an issue with you, but i'll probably make a topic in meta to discuss all kind of merit-giveaway topics in general. This way we'll avoid having this discussion here (and derail your thread).
I didn’t thought in this way, and I am sure you are making a lot of sense right now.
I am really sorry for this and I will be locking the thread right away.
Kindly if possibles list me out the users who actually deserve some merit.
Sorry for this, topic is locked.
Wish I could take back that merit.
