You might want to post a summary of your thread or a link to your thread here if you haven't already done so just to ensure everything is in a centralised list.

I just did as you suggested assuming this will help to be discovered by DT members.

Should I remove the red trust knowing the person sold the merits?

No, you should not. Not even if they send you a message telling you their kids will starve to death because of your feedback (because that's a lie, as is any idiotic plea like that).

I had bring a second thought in it eventually. With some terms and conditions am removing the red trust. Motive is to keep a proof that they admit their misuse. I wish I was a DT member or a high ranked member to save my ass.

Some questions here:

1) Why is it allowed to send up to 50 merits for a single post ? No doubt, such cases are easy to spot and the member will be punished but what about the merit points wasted. Those 50 merit points should have been given to a deserving member.

2) Regarding buying/selling of merit, how are the deals happening outside the forum going to be caught ?

If we take responsibilities (if possible) in our hand trying to find these abusers and find a way to warn them with proofs (i.e: my removal t&c) then give them a second chance. After that if they do the same mistake/abuse then staff or moderators should ban them, no mercy (my opinion). May be we will see it will start to reduce dramatically.
