I was thinking about merits and such and my mind crossed the idea of a merit for a merit. Now let me explain since this sounds quite confusing. Whenever someone writes a good review of a game or something and someone votes them up they (usually) receive a merit. Now shouldn't the person who voted them up get some kind of award for helping? I've weighed up the pro's and cons Pro's - Encourages people to vote up people who deserve merits (which is good since people probably wouldn't vote people up in hope of beating them in AP score) - Stops people asking for merits - People who deserve merits get them - Stops those people making new threads asking for more ways to get AP - Encourages more people to make worthy comments about games since there is more chance they will be recognized. Con's - People would go around voting up everyone's comments (in which case they should be banned) - If multiple people vote up someone do they all get merits? (more a question than a con). So I'd like to hear what others think.

... Well then,
If your comment gets voted up, and your comment is extremely pointless. Plus, AP is a measure of how active you are. If you click a button and earn AP, that does not make you any more active.
