I hope Theymos strips the Merit from all those accounts.
Good work hilariousetc .
Lol that won't happen. I tagged them all anyway.
Looks like imposing the merit requirements gave the forum a new way to find cheaters on the forum. Anyone tagged for merit abuse will most def be removed from any campaigns I manage.
I just hope they don't manage to get themselves on another campaign. Most of the crapcoin campaigns or managers don't check or care half the time. They should be banned from the forum really but they haven't really explicitly broken any of the forum rules apart from some of them were multi posting and talking to each other and trading/farming merit doesn't seem to be a bannable offence yet.
I started imposing merit requirements to look for more quality posters, not to find out the biggest cheaters. Just because it can be done doesn't make it right though, I mean using that logic I should go rob a bank. It can be done but is it legal? Imposing any rules or implementing any new system doesn't mean go and break the rules of the forum. This shows your character and shows me you don't deserve to be on bitcointalk, so IMO imposing this new system just brought out a bunch of weak users and gave the forum reasons to say goodbye to them
It has positives and negatives. Sadly the biggest farmers are the ones that will find it easier to abuse whilst genuine users with just one account will struggle or at least take some time to achieve, though on the flip side it opens the farmers up to being spotted as many farmers won't be able to resist leaving themselves merit because it's so hard to get in naturally.
