the new merit system is likely to be misused by irresponsible people to get some personal benefits. like giving merit to his multi account to increase account rank. and maybe sell merit services to someone who really needs merit who is willing to pay for it. how does the admin team detect this fraud

so the forum avoided the monopoly of certain people. just a few of my opinions.
Can you point out those cases you are talking about?
Most of the abusers got caught, the community constantly monitor the merit transfers.
