I disagree. If that person is capable of writing for many months without getting paid until they reach the necessary rank, and then has been accepted into two different campaigns, it's because they add value.

Now I'm trying to understand, but I can't agree. I'm sorry. There are numerous examples proving that, by posting for months, some of these people patiently increase their ratings by exchanging merits with friends or alt accounts. Is there any point or benefit in knowing who did how many push-ups on a Bitcoin forum, given that all their merits come from that thread?

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about someone who has two accounts and doesn't cheat with them. Someone who doesn't exchange merits, doesn't leave feedback or include the other account in a trust list, etc.

We know that the vast majority of people who have two accounts and don't declare them are doing so to cheat, but I was responding to what nutildah said about simply trying to pretend you're another “person” if you have two accounts. For me, the crucial thing is whether you cheat or not, not whether you have one original account and then two other account with which you don't cheat but supposedly appear as another “person” with them.
