I've put 5 people on ignore in the last 10 minutes. Please stop all the rubbish posts about merit.
No kidding. It seems that when I click on new threads dealing with merits, they're filled up with people already on my ignore list. It's a revolting turn of affairs here, but not one that surprises me. These shitposters--as ignorant and illiterate as they are--are persistent little buggers, and they'll try anything to get merit, trust, rank up, you name it. The best thing we can do is put them on ignore, thereby ensuring they never receive merit from us, and that we no longer have to be exposed to their nonsense.
Eventually this will end. Eventually they'll figure out that no one is going to award them merits for writing total crap--or that it's going to be an insanely slow process to rank up. I have to remind myself that this is only Month Two of the merit system, and that shitposters are not known for their quick uptake of information.
Edit: Meanwhile, OP has earned a neg by blatantly offering a merit trade. That's not going to fly here and I'm not sure why he thought it was OK to do that.
