I actually wrote a script that should be useable to create a list of jr members that were demoted to newbies, then received exactly 1 merit so they became jr members again... I already posted it in Theymos's thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.msg45826022#msg45826022I'll have to wait untill LoyceV updates his full merit history-db again before i can run it tough... It needs recent merit data.
I can only do that when theymos does the next data dump (next Friday).
Did you see this post:
Reference data for future abuse tracking:
Last Friday, 6286 users had received 1 Merit.
One week earlier, 6237 users had received 1 Merit.
One more week back, 6190 users had received 1 Merit.
That's an increase of less than 50 per week. I wouldn't be surprised if there are 500 new users with 1 Merit next Friday.
If we stick together and systematically tag and ignore anybody caught abusing the system, it will send a strong message to anybody who's just planning on abusing the system... Hopefully leaving us with a cleaner forum.
As far as I know, theymos disagrees with tagging users for (small) merit abuse.
