I've just come across this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3260277 , in which a legendary user, klf (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=369702), that claims to have about 200 sMerit to give away is abusing the merit system in my opinion. They have been tagged by DT members for abuses in the past, but I am wondering if there is anything that can be done to shut this down before it does the insignificant amount of potential damage that it may cause? What should be done about those publicly begging for merit and partaking in this abusive scheme?

It seems there are others giving this user negative trust for their actions, but I'm wondering if a fresh DT rating would be helpful and potentially tagging the users involving themselves.

Maybe banning that account would solve the issue since you cannot unmerit a post once you merrited it.
Just imagine those people ( who doesn't know what they are asking)begging for a review would feel when they get red tagged (not knowing the consequence of their action).
One more thing is to let people become aware that getting merit with accounts like that would result to a red tagged

Clearly, this user want to drag other users down along with his account.
