This TOP-200 has been updated as of January 14, 2022.
In total, since September 17, 2018, 4812 members have sent at least one merit to 19068 newbies. 2424 (
8%) of them are banned.
I was a little
late with the release of two monthly statistics in December 2021, so now I have published three tables all together at the same time. As I can see, the number of supported newbies has decreased from 365 to 269.
Ratimov took first place in October 2021,
mole0815 is the leader in November and December 2021.

Ratimov is the leader of this TOP-200 in both months. It looks like he will soon gain first place on the main list.

There is the smallest gap between first and second place.

This gap quickly disappeared within a month, and as I predicted earlier, you are now at the very top of the main list. Congratulations!

I hope those newbies whom I have helped over the past 2 months will be better than the previous ones, where many were banned for plagiarism and they were part of a large farm.
You simply did what you were meant to do and what was right; what they become after that is their problem, not yours. Don't allow what they become to discourage you from doing what you love.
I agree with you.
Ratimov is
not to blame for the actions of newbies who were later banned for plagiarism. He found their quality posts and tried to encourage them to keep contributing to the forum with good intentions, but these newcomers started doing the
wrong things. It serves them right.
Thanks for the update even if it is late I appreciate the effort you've done. When I saw a message on my telegram I've been mentioned by you and when I opened it, what I saw is that the users who helped some newbies and I am thankful that being an 8 months old here in the forum I help some newbies to rank up and start contributing here in our community. But sad to say many newbies have been helped getting banned because of forbidden techniques which are plagiarized other works.
