1. No more allowing Newbies in campaigns. Make newbies rank up and have something to lose if they're gonna cheat.
2. No neg trusted accounts can join period
Now, what about managers? Should we tag managers who are outright being dishonest by allowing Newbies? Or tag managers who really aren't caring about the forum? Should we just hope they will try to make a change? Or does anything really matter?
I don't know the answers, but I think together we can all make some good suggestions to try and slow these cheaters down. Maybe also change managers ways. Thoughts?
I honestly think of this before, I carefully checked each of the user's report and that's where I find them cheating (Aside from checking the addresses). Most of the cheater's I've caught are all newbies and new created accounts and even if we tagged them they are just going to change the social media username, address and create new account.
I was thinking of only allowing member and above accounts to join the campaign as jr member (1 merit requirement) is easy to achieve and probably a lot of people would sell their merits to these people. The only disadvantage I can think of is the number of participants would be limited and not all the higher rank members in the forum are interested in joining the bounty as we all know most of them are really not worth joining as only few of them managed to be successful projects.
I don't think tagging managers for allowing them to join newbies would be a good idea as there's some users/newbie accounts only owned one account and actually working fair, what solution that came to my mind is prohibiting newbie users to access the bounties section unless they've meet at least 10 merits as I think tagging them a negative trust wouldn't do good but personally I was planning soon to accept only a jr member and above users.
