The Merit system has been with us for six weeks now and is clearly having some success in reducing the spam. It is now very hard, if not impossible, for account farmers to provide a constant supply of high ranked accounts. This, of course, is good news for any of us who have become tired of finding any interesting content quickly buried under a pile of shitposts.

What this hasn't addressed is the large number of accounts already in the hands of shitposters. Let's be honest about what rank is all about - signatures and the ability to gain income from them. The ability of someone who is already in possession of, for example, a Hero account (or 10) to continue to get paid for every shitpost they tack on the end of a spam megathread has not diminished or been restrained by the Merit system.

Some campaign managers have taken the initiative to make minimum Merit requirements compulsory to join their campaigns but those managers were already the ones with high standards. They were not the problem, it has always been the managers that just blindly accept the first x hundred people to apply and pay them regardless of the spam they produce.

I have noticed that these spammers are very easy to spot now, they are the ones stuck on 100, 250, 500 or whatever merit number they were initially given. They haven't managed to gain one single Merit point in the last 6 weeks.

So to my suggestion:

Amend the forum to hide signatures of any account that hasn't earned at least 1 Merit in the last 2 months.

This will bar them from getting paid to post and not have any negative impact on anyone making even the tiniest contribution to the forum. Nobody loses their rank and even if someone is away from the forum for a while they can quickly get their signature back.

My friends and their parents have lost a lot of money, even the house for MLM lending coin model. There are many who fall into the trap of being enticed and losing money. They were blameworthy but they were miserable due to their ignorance and paid the price. So what does the price have to pay the scammers? Should there be a death penalty for them?

GIVE ME SOME ADVICES WHAT SHOULD I DO TO MY BTC .

Oh, that I agree with totally, though I suspect it would be even harder to enforce than account selling (hence why the latter is "discouraged," rather than outright banned).

Perhaps two good rules to consider for filtering out potential merit abusers for red trust are on any merit transactions greater than, say, 10, or when one person gives merit to another more than, say, 5x. The latter rule will likely become less useful as time goes on, however.

Send Merit Back "For Mutual Benefit"

They use this trick to increase their rank as soon possible, the do merit exchange with another members for mutual benefit, that's like send each other the same amount of merit to make it fair.
I can't give a proof for this, but I'm sure if that thing happen in here

Send Merit Back "As a thank you/reward to sender"

I also seen like this, they send back merit to sender because want to say thank you or want to give reward to sender. I see many members do this because they don't know and that endanger their self, mainly beginer because they don't know if that is not allowed or they not read the rules
