Well, I was thinking that why I'm getting merits from those forum members who aren't active in gambling section. Finally I discovered the reason here while I was randomly checking some post's from each board (almost 11 hours later). Thank you for bringing the post in the attention of merit sources.

But these aren't unmerited...

I'm not sure if it's taken for granted or not. Anyway, I just read the second rule (and the title) and considered to respond accordingly.

Thanks for saving me time

When I asked ShowOff to post here, I didn't mean only unmerited posts. I've been soft on that rule before.

He joined 9 years ago, hence the "grandfathered" avatar.

Hi LoyceV,

I see those users are lacking of merit (<50 merits) to achieve the next rank, there also some users is still lacking of activity too, but I think isn't wrong to gave them merit since their post are high quality and deserved. So they will only need to fulfill the activity since the merit is already qualified. To be honest there are another users still lack of merit but I didn't include them since almost of his post is using local language which I don't understand any single word they wrote. So, I'm just looking for the English language to make you and other merit sources can understood as well.

Now I realized become a merit sources isn't an easy task, you need to read the post and it's time consuming. It's not just when someone create long posts, it will automatically be merited but it depends on the point and what you wrote. Some of their posts I gave merit, I hope it's not breaking the rule of "unmerited post"

Sometimes reading this forum is better than a good movie. There are plenty of twists and funny moments .

I read this... I was a little skeptical :


Then I came across this post:

You got that right, although I have to say I think it used to be much more twisty-turny in previous years.  As far as Mr. "I-go-through-all-the-rules-and-regulations" goes, it always baffles me why members who break the one rule that'll get you permabanned in a millisecond draw attention to themselves with posts like that and the one in this thread.  I've seen stuff like that happen many times.

Did Rich222 get banned?

I'd be willing to bet it is.  Shitposters and hardcore bounty hunters rarely leave the forum for good, even if they're banned.  It's just way too easy to start over here, and it always has been.
