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.
mdayonliner's Red Trust removal T&CSome 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.
