Ok before I start please don't backfire me I was away for a long time so this topic might already exist

So back to the topic, I found a couple of members, or you can see some 20+ alts who were also abusing the merit system to rank each other

Here's the post I made: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3168616.msg34841172#msg34841172

And when I checked back to see if any DT took any action I noticed all proofs were gone, what they basically did was gave some 20 merits to a post and finally the user who was merited deleted the posts , so if we check their accounts now they just look like normal full members account and now based on what we have we can't really call them merit abusers

Who is to blame in this situation?

Because this was a vast network I decided to made a separate post, but no DT member tagged them, nor any staff took action against them

What's the solution?

I have said this before we either need more DT members because currently many of them are busy managing campaigns or don't give a damn about the forum
If possible theymos should also allow reporting of merit abusers to staff
