Merit sources patrol this forum at their own will. They have been notified by theymos (obviously) and they have imbibed the guidelines for merit distribution. There are currently 57 merit sources in the forum. Now what you need to do is to not shitpost and complain about the merit system and start making quality posts. Merit amount is limited to prevent you shitposters from ranking up and getting quick cash for shit-bounties.
In course of time these shitposters will become tired of shitposting and they will leave the forum. Something that will bring a radical change to this forum.
We don't have anything to do were just a member here and then we follow what are rules implemented by our admins or those people ahead from us.
