In any case, it looks like The-Devil got himself in some hot water with a few DT members and I'm still trying to figure out why (I haven't read this and the other thread in their entirety yet).

It would appear that The-Devil was attempting to farm merit... either by using an alt account or a "friend" to post some sort of question in B&H which The-Devil had a pre-written answer for.

It seemed to garner a few merits from people... and then TMAN really drew attention to it all by dropping 50 merits on the guy.

You're missing the juicy parts from this, this topic is exactly what I needed to read after 5 days of doing nightshifts and barely been able to read the forum...
When you read the first post by the OP, you go to see his trust flag and you get this:

Quickseller alleges: Due largely to the factors mentioned in this topic, I believe that anyone dealing with The-Devil
Support: Lauda, marlboroza, TMAN, Quickseller, hacker1001101001

You grab another croissant to go with the coffee and enjoy the whole damn show.

But seriously this went bad for the OP just because he felt the need to brag about his rank up if he would have not done that he would probably have got away with those little schemes and he could have enjoyed the fruits of his work.

I am really confused now. Did I royally fuck up Or not?

You SIR, have done a marvelous job for the forum... Tongue

Not just has a new method of farming merits been uncovered, a ring of spammers and plagiarists exposed, you've bought quickie and Lauda together but also if you feel any regret for the merit spent, don't...cause this marvelous topic has awarded more than 60 merits to the ones tearing this scheme apart.

Besides, you've got 3 merits back from devil and the other soon to be banned plagiarist Grin
