Buying sMerit shows that their posts are not quality and those who sell use sMerit for personal gain.
the existence of sMerit will be a good advantage for participants who want to try to make high-quality posts, and sMerit as a sign of prizes, and for participants who have a lot of sMerit will have a positive effect so participation is easily accepted in any application because it can be trusted.
and must be given severe sanctions for those who sell and buy sMerit.
Main motive why merit system is being created is due to avoid abuse of this forum like account farming where it was rampant wayback before
since accounts can easily rank up with just having that activity measure and its been abused by many in terms of selling it thats why theymos decided to
overhaul the ranking system which you would need sufficient merit for you to rank up if not then you would stay with your rank forever.
One benefits of having lots of merits is the one thing you say where most signature campaigns would recognized you out since having lots merits
does mean your a quality poster which a company would definitely need.Abuse? Non surprising as long people can make money to it there would always be a way.
