I am sure that they stopped doing it after mdayonliner's topic. At least the last one was 29 june. But several persons have got a lot of merit using this way. Personally I consider it like a fraud.
There is no ideal system. Personally I see some speculations in such case.

I understand that opinion.
Personally I think it was an experiment with good intention from the moderators. But it had potential for abuse and resulted in "industrial scale" reporting.
It was also flawed in the sense where it was open to abuse by people with bad intent. The moderators saw this and abandoned those methods.
I don't see a problem with trying something to see if it works and when it is pointed out that it had flaws they abandoned it. I think it shows initiative but also shows that they listened to the feedback objectively.
It also should be taken into account that the Ukraine and Russia are known spam locations and Russian trolls are among the worlds best.
With just two moderators on the largest local language board they have a big workload.
