Post by: The Cryptovator on May 27, 2018, 08:34:09 PM

pakage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=354673) send 31 merit.
SUM2dev (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346214) send 20 merit to
dr_ropata (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=975217) who have only 14 activity and deserve 51 merit. Really it's unbelievable. Even though I have search his profile, he have no posted his own and those replay he did there is no quality replay.
So how he deserve 51 merit ?
What it mean ? This 3 account is connected ?
Please DT member's check their profile.

You should ask that question from "pakage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=354673)" and "SUM2dev (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346214)".

Yes, they're from the same team:

  • I didn't find anything in regards to "dr_ropata (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=975217)" but it's quite clear that he/she is also part of the team.
    - I also noticed that few of the team members (Strugg and Lucas) had access to "SUM2dev (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346214)" (Archived (https://archive.fo/QuBTb#selection-4115.0-4235.5)).

IMO, it's a merit abuse but there's also this:
I think that tagging may be appropriate in particularly obvious cases, or particularly egregious cases involving hundreds of merit points and several posts. But generally you should start out by assuming good faith, and only change that opinion as the evidence really piles up. Tagging someone immediately after an instance of apparently-inexplicable meriting is too trigger-happy IMO. Even if it is a case of illegitimate merit, even hundreds of illegitimate merit points are not much of a problem IMO, so you have to ask whether it's worthwhile to possibly make a mistake by tagging someone who is merely suspicious.

I have no need ask to them about merit abuse. I just found and share here.

Another thing even they are form same team but they don't heave right to play with merit system. It's not fair system. So what is the meaning of merit system if unfair use ?
