Title: My collection of merit abusers
Post by: simonova on June 21, 2018, 02:39:33 PM
In this thread I would like to report merit abusers that I come across here often. Here is one suspected case to start with :

Members involved :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1241585
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1781008

Reason for suspect :

a) Exchange of merits (though on small scale) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1241585

b) Both applied in same campaign recently and thus have same signature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4505059

c) Usernames are: intoy_victor   and Daboy_Lyle which look similar

I will add more such cases as replies in this thread.

What does that mean lol ?

b) Both applied in same campaign recently and thus have same signature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4505059
Coincidental? Can it be?

c) Usernames are: intoy_victor   and Daboy_Lyle which look similar

The case is irrelevant.We want solid proofs and not random assumptions.Even though they're alts, the thread won't be taken seriously if you don't provide sufficient proofs.Please refrain from posting cases which you can't provide solid proof for.

That will apply to all abuse cases posted here then.

Sending merits for undeserving posts and also having similar username, isn't it too much of coincidence ?

In what way are the usernames similar?

He got merits from

Stop wasting everyone's time with this nonsense. Come back when you have proof.

Why did you left the url that followed that sentence ? It is hard to assume that it was by mistake as your profile is old here.

And, I am really sorry if I wasted your precious time.

I believe all DefaultTrust members have decided to only leave negative trust for obvious and blatant merit abuses cases. You have relied on extremely weak and circumstantial evidence, so I don't think anyone is going to take action against them.

I left it out because you have 0 proof of anything and your accusation is literally "he got merits". Someone sent 5 merits to someone else. So what?

You're wasting your own time too. Nothing is going to happen unless you show proof.
