I've been reading page by page (since its only few) and most of the people replied to this thread don't really notice other people's information. To think that it is quite informative. Something like this:
Simply give merit abusers red trust. I think they should be banned (temporary, then permanent). It's hard to imagine the cases of merit exchanging from main accounts to alt-accounts, then return exchanging from alt-accounts to main-accounts, again and again.
For example:
Main account have 100 sMerits to send to one alt-account, then the alt get 50 sMerits to send back to main one, which will get more sMerits to send. Next round, main account send 50 sMerits to alt-acc, and so on like this:
Main account Alt account
100 0
100 50
50 25
25 12
12 6
6 3
3 1
And finally, over many rounds, main accounts will have 50+25+12+6+3 = 96 more Merit points
Alt-account will have 50+25+12+6+3+1 = 97 more Merits points.
In total the guy will get 193 more Merits points. It's terrible abusement. - Abusement is not a word mate
I know it's not my place to say but on the following statements and links below, from what I see it, its either
begging or a
charity. But if you know that you yourself have quality posts that no one really reviews them, then those links would help you earn Merits. I'm not saying that it is the only way but its a start.
This forum is huge, and no member can monitor each and every other member just to review their posts, and to consider whether it deserves Merit or not.
Anyway here it is:
