So why did he get tagged ?
If you tagg him you should also tagg the accounts of suchmoon such as glem or tagg any other known alt.

Take this up in a new thread if you have an issue with tagging of alts/account sales. Alts are allowed and are not automatically red-trusted by anyone unless the main account is red-trusted. Timelord2067 is/was giving neutral trust for alts, though I'm not sure if he's still doing that.

Theymos answered my question about account sales, and I appreciate it. Every case should be judged individually, IMO, which I waffled on for quite some time--and that's one reason why suchmoon's purchase of Gleb's account didn't result in me tagging either one of them; why I removed my tag on iluvbitcoins; why I didn't tag OmegaStarScream; and so on. Those peeps are otherwise trustworthy, even if they did engage in a behavior I disagree with.

So to receive the right to buy an alt without getting a negative feedback is that you need to know that user.
Seems very centralised to me.How many of all users do you know on that forum to make a proper judgement ?

Yes. You are a person, not a community.

Not anymore. That's clear abuse, awarding merit for political reasons rather than any idea of quality. Only because he was a source, I effectively undid those merit sends. If he had not been a merit source, I still would've blacklisted anyone who got into DT1 through that type of shenanigans.

I hadn't read into the thread deeply enough to see that stuff. Those are better arguments against the trustworthiness of H8bussesNbicycles & co., but note that the current negative-trust-ratings were sent long before that. Before February, the thread looks like politics to me.

If you get active on stinger how does it come you didn't get activ on these merit abusers ?

Oh right OP , you'd still complain because you're a butthurt idiot

You call that quality which deserved 50 merits ?
From atriz (alt of Lauda) to Lauda himself ?

I really see you trying to change that forum into a decentralised place run by the community.However acting on DT's member request (like stinger) but being at the same time blind of merit abuse from Lauda and other DT members instantly puts an imbalance between community power and current DT members who have circled merits for a longer time which is a known fact.

I mean show me any quality threads of TMAN or Vod as example ?
How did they mainly get their merits ?
Surely not for posting quality posts but people supporting their actions like tagging someone.Calling someone out etc.
So if they got their main merit from supporters of actions why do you put the community in a disadvantage that we are not allowed to merit peoples action we support ?

Many DT members have majority of their merit from people supporting their actions instead of post quality.Didn't see any actions on that?
Maybe someone can show me the quality posts where Lauda earned his merits.
