Title: Alt account + merit farming and more by the same person
Post by: tomalours on March 03, 2018, 12:20:05 PM
I want to report a very suspicious activity on the forum.


Here’s the story


Username: abdo99

Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1753559



He seems to be an Arabic/French speaker and translated for the same campaign CopyTrack- which I think is fine for campaigns, but just to introduce him


Link to his French topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2906542.msg29889363#msg29889363


Link to his Arabic topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2906812.msg29892113#msg29892113




Here’s a screenshot of Abdo99 telegram user name

Here’s Hussainaboaziz asking to buy a Jr. account, with the same telegram username as Abdo99

Now the deal sealed and we can see HumberWins moderating Abdo’s thread here:

After all that, all of a sudden, HumberWins got loads of merits from Casinoexpert

I guess this should be posted in the Meta (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.) section and not in trading discussion. Then it ll be noticed and hopefully action will be taken.

Wrong. forum does not moderate alt account and merit transactions of random members. even if there are evidences of merit sources abusing their source sMerits, you should report them in here, reputation forum.

Admins already monitor merit sources, if you have solid proof of many abusive cases regarding merit, try to post them in reputation. this is just a single case involving 2 low rank members.

Now let us imagine something, even if they sold merits, what would be different? that one member could join any bounty campaign and earn a few more tokens. he could do the same with lower rank accounts. DT2 members should spend their time thinking about solutions to make more money for the forum.
Because we need more moderators.
