So, I see no problem with sending him all the merit I had. It's like I vouch for him. Is this a problem? Vouching for a friend?

IMO its a little harsh to nukle all of our "trust" down just because we shared our merit points with each other

Well, sharing merit is definitely frowned upon and I (and others) reserve the right to penalize it with negative trust.
With me, it's usually not such a big issue, since I tend to delete negative trust ratings after a while when I see no more need for it.
See it as a kind of "timeout" for your trust.

Well, then It should be stated in the original Merit Thread in the rules section; It's very new system, and it's a farce to penalize someone for doing something that isn't actually restricted, don't you think?. If I had known it in before I obviously never had done it because I don't want to harm my trust by any means. And to be fair, "and I am not demanding it by any means", I just want to appeal to your fairness that this was a one-time "mistake" (imo its still no mistake cause it's not stated anywhere that we actually did something wrong but I accept it since we talked about it and you made your point clear.) and you could let us go with just a "yellow card" instead of a red one (harming our trust).

Also, there's a little more to the story than just what you see from the merit statistics:

Quote from: Trust summary for kryptopojken

This user's password was reset recently.

Quote from: Trust summary for B!gSmoke

This user's email address was changed recently.

Quote from: Trust summary for HardwarePal

This user's password was reset recently.
This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity.

These, combined with the merit trading, are usually clear warning signs of abuse.

So what is wrong about changing my email? Are assuming that I just logged in to send merits?
