Because of the problems that we have been having with Merit_Recognition, we will be shutting down the profile. Members were abusing the account, and taking it for granted. It is pretty obvious when people make alternate account to nominate themselves, and this was happening too often. We cannot have accounts like this if they cannot be used properly with people following the rules.

Also, people have started to get very picky and taking merits for granted. We try very hard to get merits out there. We have been giving out a whole lot of merits recently, yet all we hear is people complaining that their nominated comment didn't get merited. There isn't enough appreciation going around for the merits that are being given out.

I need to emphasize here: Merits are hard to get. It is not meant to be easy to get a merit, this is why they are 25 Armor Points. This is why we will be raising our standards on the comments that we give merits to. A lot of the controversy has been based around people complaining that the merits we have been giving out are too comments that are not good enough. Either way we do it however, I think people are going to worry that we are giving out too little or too much. But we will be raising our standards, and finding the merits ourselves using our own methods.

So please, do not ask for merits or try to nominate any. From now on, we will be using our own methods to give out merits. Please try to be content with that.

We will update later with a description of what our heightened standards will be.
