That alts could actually participate in Bounty Campaigns though, if the OP put in some effort.

Provided the CM isn't aware of that.

I know it but bounties are worthless, time-wasting, IMO. That is why I make the previous statement on this.

Also, I agree that reversal of such a merit transaction is a good idea.

theymos does not feel hundreds of illegitimate merits is a big issue. (please see the quote in my previous post)

I don't remember why the forum rolled back those 16 merit transactions (with small amount as you see). Maybe LoyceV or DdmrDdmr can help. I see many topics about 50 merit transactions for non-sense posts but the data shows no history of roll-back on those 50-illegitimate-merits transactions.

By now, we have 497 transactions with 50 merits, 331 transactions in 2018 and 165 ones in 2019.
Why 50? Because you are not allowed to send more than 50 merits to a single user each month.

* The label 0, in fact, represents negative merits (I made a wrong label).

Edited:
Based on time points, I found it. Due to political issues with merit usages, theymos stepped in and rolled-back merit transactions made by stingers, and finally removed him as a merit source. Those amount of transactios fluctuates from 1 to 10, mostly 10, as you see, that evidence matches with below findings.

You need 10 earned merits to vote right?

I can provide you with that to be eligible for voting. Not many but some of the supportive and abused, Jr.member and newbies can vote because of my help which is an honour for me.

Is stingers still a merit source?

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.
