Nice catch, @OP but do you have a really convincing proof, it's really his Alt Account?
Just sending Merit, even for large amounts as long as posts are at least halfways useful, doesn't prove anything. Do we have more proof like linked BTC / ETH addresses or shared Social Media accounts?
If not, it's just not enough proof in my opinion.
According to this old digging by
decodx, yes, they shared an address and username. This was part of OP's evidence on his opening post, though he can only share link because the thread was locked. It was also repeated
here [quoted below], so their alt relationship is pretty much established.
Yeah, I didn't click the links in OP, so our case seems pretty obvious here. Many thanks for sharing.
I've re-read everything and especially the quote of theymos about Merit selling got a bit misinterpreted here in my opinion. He said:
If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.
In his statement, he's leaving lots of space for speculation.
Because who defines, what's
similarly bad like Merit selling (theymos: "probably anything less than selling merit")?
In my opinion, sending Merit to my Alt Account is such a case. We can still argue if it needs to be deliberate, repeated sending to our Alt Account.
In his quote, I believe theymos wanted to express to be very lenient how someone spends his Merit, as long it's not directly involving Merit sales (x Merit for x BTC) or sending Merit to our own Alt Account.
For example even if I send 50 Merit to
this post from holydarkness and do it 2x again for similar posts, it's not abuse because
- it's not selling
- holydarkness is not my Alt Account
- the quality provided is enough be be a meritable post (yes, can be argued if it's deserving 50 Merit)
Conclusion:
In my opinion, a tag to Haunebu Account for Merit abuse would not violate the quote from theymos. Opinions?
