Proving this was trivial. EFS has no problem with any of this naturally. Short story:
1) Excluded a whole-bunch as they conspired with their fake election: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139250.msg51425973#msg51425973.
2) Retaliatory attack and threads start here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156.msg51432525#msg51432525.
3) Proof of merit abuse/cycling/farming/circle-jerk:
Proof 1:
Translation: "Does anyone need merit in the forums ? I will give 1 merit each to 4-5 guys, so that it doesn't go to foreigners"
Proof 2:
Translation:
PHI: we need to organize it privately, these guys are even selling merit look at it
PHI: "Sensei, the ones who will give merit are obvious why will we put an effort" how is it obvious?
Proof 3:
Translation:
ysakay (banned?) asking: "have you opened the Merit Fellowship channel?" - this reffers to the private group organized by Phi for merit farming.
Accused users:

This problem likely goes too far for us to be able to discover all the culprits. Any member in that group that stands quiet is also an accomplice, but the best path would be to run down all merit PHI has ever given out first.
