@Hhampuz is always a victim of this merit circle jerk because he usually accept participants based on the number of earned merit counts alone.
This farmer buddies is having a sweet payday on Hhampuz arms. Not only from this locale but in general. Usual pattern is WO, All merit source thread and local merit thread. There’s a lot of this gang. Check this one
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=886039. Some user that gave him merit woke up just to send him a merit.
I don't know where you derive your conclusion from but I know is that Hhampuz is not just after high merits but also standard and other requirements necessary. I observe that it is a coincidence where users with high number of merits meet with his requirements and he's satisfied working with them. Take a look at his last slot filled
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5326641.msg63883831#msg63883831 that user was not the one with highest merits but he's picked. Don't make it sound as if Hhampuz is the reason for merit farming here. After checking the comments on your neutral tag, I know the reason why it was there.
There’s a lot of instances and you are one of this user that benefited on this merit circle jerking. You only sighted an exception but most of the time those high merits got accepted. You are one of those user that has a post on middle page yet you receive merit out of nowhere from your gang.
Also the posting pattern of “want something” on bitcoin discussion or beginners & help is your gang favorite post because merit source preferred this dramatic post.
I don't really think this would actually help because majority of these merits were not distributed by merit source and so it doesn't really solve the problem.
Not distributed by merit source yet most of the smerit sender merit came from merit source by doing same post pattern. Most of this jerker is on Duelbits and Rollbit.
