The purpose of merit is to reward people who write quality things, look at the trust of OP, the purpose of Op was probably to abuse the system!
I think people can merit friends only if they don't abuse the quantity and if they really post quality posts.
Agree with you!
Creating the topic, then earnt 15 merits (till now) for only the OP, which has low-quality, honestly.
I have actually not read all those threads in the topic, reading the OP and your thread, coinlocket$. Then, I don't find reasons to read more threads inside because the topic is one of shitty ones created to beg for merits.
There are dozens of topics on the same questions, which published before this one. How did this one receive 15 merits? Really ridiculous, right?
For the OP's creator, should read if don't know how to use the forum search function:
