A question just occured to me.How do mods earn merits?Do they give merits to themselfs ro do other mods give merits to them or what.How does a mod earn merits?
how mods get merits is a very long story. im ashamed that your parents left it to me to tell you.
well here goes...
when a mommy comment and a daddy comment love each other very much, they make what's known as a "well-thought out" comment. it is often very long and talks about things of relevance, though usually it just resembles a book report. Anyway, the "well-thought out" comment comes into the world and sits on the comments page of a particular game for days and days and days until the comment fairy (that could be taken out of context) comes along and taps the "well-thought out" comment on it's little comment nose and 'oof' it becomes a merit worthy comment.
now if a mod was the mommy comment or daddy comment of that "well thought out" comment, then they get credit for the merit.
now, if they merit themselves, thats a different type of making a comment. one where there isnt a mommy AND daddy comment, theres just one or the other.
you can tell which mods give themselves merits, they usually have hair on their knuckles, or have gone blind.
...alright. thats as close to the line as i'l get. i got more, but... no. just no.
We mods can get merits from other mods. We certainly do not give them to ourselves ;-) But if another mod sees a merit worthy comment from another user or mod, they can give them a merit.
But every time I try to sit down and make an awesome game comment now, I go "Oh god! What if someone is spamming the forums! Or being a nuisance in chat! I gotta go check!"
Then I run off and forget to copy what I had already written down.
