I have never seen anyone get banned for merit abuse. The abusers just get their accounts negative trusted. I am very sure your case was either plagiarism or spamming.

Well, it does happen. Check this out:

Dear BTT community,

My profile steve_rogers https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1791093 was banned.
Firstly I thought that this issue is connected with hacking my mail, because ban and hacking of my mail were more or less at the same time!

But, as it turned out, I was banned for abusing merit system!!! This statement is ridiculous, because I have never bought or sold merits, I do not have an excess to the accounts that I gave(or from whom I received merits).

Here is the letter that I have received.

Hi,

Unfortunately, screenshots are not relevant in the recovery process as they could be easily tampered with.

The account was banned for abusing the merit system well before the date you claim your email was hacked.

The account will remain banned. Thank you for your understanding!

So, my point is, please prove that I have been abusing merit system! Also, as far as I remember theymos said that he do not even care about it, some DT users could only put you red trust, and that's it.

So, please, unban my account, or prove that I have been pumping my accounts or selling merits, or smth else.

Also, I wanna state that I am an authour of the topic (merit give away) that helps develop and full fill our forum with usefull info in russian sector. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3251187.msg33860081#msg33860081
