These trolls currently spamming Meta and Reputation don't have 250 merit between them, let alone on one account, doubly let alone on two accounts.
And that's exactly why they're whining about it, claiming it's unfair and blah blah blah.
Meanwhile, I'm more concerned about finding decent posts (especially from lower-ranked members) to give merits to. Every time I take the plunge and visit Bitcoin Discussion looking for hidden gems I end up finding plagiarism or bought accounts instead. This concerns me far more than this petty power struggle with the army of newbie trolls. The only thing they're capable of doing is making a lot of noise and making fools out of themselves.
I keep hearing about how merits get circulated amongst the DT members. Can anyone show me how I'm a part of that? It's true I've given merits to some of them, but most of my earned merits
didn't come from members like Lauda, LoyceV, Vod, or any of them. Most of the sMerits I've given out
haven't been to DT1 members. I think in general this is an argument that's been debunked, and yet it keeps surfacing.
It was meant for the Market place...Not for spammers and Account buyers or for anything else.
Funny, that's the argument TECSHARE keeps making--likely because if it were true he'd be back on DT, since he has done a lot of successful trades. The truth is that this trust system isn't set up like eBay's and
never was about just the marketplace. I won't argue that the system is broken or that successful trades and being able to trust someone with money ought to be rewarded with positive trust. At the same time, some individuals who can be trusted with money might themselves abuse the trust system (TECSHARE) and thus might not be fit to be on DT. True story.
Edit:
Yeah, and look at the
total number of merits I've given to and received from the DT members. They represent a small fraction of the merits I've earned and the ones I've given out. Sorry I peeped at your post, but obviously you're trying to make it look like I give most of my sMerits to DT members and get most of my earned merits from them. That isn't true by a long shot, kiddo.
