Interested in this question, if I found the draft Scam and argue this confirmation is possible for it to get merit?

So who must give you merit pints for scam disclosure? The forum administration? The community? It is not really clear to me. If your info is valuable, then try to publish it to public and see what you get ;)

It's possible to get merit, because if you expose a project that's a fraud, and you get high level of recognition, then they might give you a merit.
However, this is not necessarily achieved, please note. ::)

I think that if you discover a scam and you publish proof you will probably find someone that will give you merit for your effort

It is our duty here to report to authorities if we found something irregular and fraudulent activities. We should not expect in return because the more you shout for merit, likely you will not get one.

There's a chance you will get merit by exposing scam projects. Just try until you get famous in scam accusations section  and eventually get the merits you deserve.
Scam Accusations section below.

The merit system encourages quality and helpful posts, so go ahead and expose the scams, though it does not guarantee merits, people who are grateful for the help will i am sure express their gratitude through deserved merit.

if you found out na may scam sa isang project at ikaw mismo ang makakakita non pwede mo syang ipunta sa scam accusation na section wag sa local, tsaka dapat matbay ang proof mo kasi di basta basta ang maglabas ng ganong accusation, pero kung mapapatunayan mo yan at makakapag bigay ka ng matibay na ebidensya e malaki ang potensyal na pwde kang makakuha ng merit.

I really agree with your idea. for people who expose a scam project, because by exposing a scam project and it will save a lot of people from falling into a project that will cheat the participants
and it's perfectly natural to get merit

that can be actually a good idea, thought crypto is a online based thing that's why the users have to deal with this scam and security issue and unfortunately the new arrivals became the easy victim so if we use the right person merit to expose this all scam project it will be helpful for the market

I think that would give enough people a reason to give you their merits - you'd be saving them a lot of money and time - but you cant just go around throwing out accusations - you have to build a strong case

Once I discovered fraud and wrote to the administration. And received such an answer
"Q: Why haven't you banned <insert scammer username here> who is an obvious scammer?
A: Possible (or real, not for me to decide) scams are not moderated to prevent moderator abuse. If we start picking out which ones we call "scammers" and ban, we would make a lot of decisions based on biased opinions."

- Many will give you merit if you will expose scam with elaborated discussion and with enough proofs
- If it is one of the popular ICO currently collecting millions, you might also get some backfire from people who have already invested in them

But if you are telling truth than you might save few millions from other investors who were willing to invest there. So go ahead and don't try to be hungry for merit just keep on posting helpful posts you will get merits.

Based on crypto market there are lots of scams are there also these types of things are really frustrating people do this because of excess price it attract the customer I think before investing we should check the projects properly.

Protecting people from the impudence is undoubtedly an intelligent act. Of course people will evaluate the merit of this merit. When people are take their opportunity they will welcome you its natural.

Maybe, the thing is that merit is given for quality posts so maybe some old members of the forum think that it is merit worth exposing those scams, why not.

Merit you can get for a high-quality post, read how to do it in posts, and do not try to find someone scam. And I would not trust the junior members.

finding a fraud or scam site will give reward to the finder. but this task need intense amount of research and work also it might need some investment too. the person doing this task should be careful and should think before taking the decision.

I think it would be great if people gave merit to those that exposed scams but I doubt very much that it would work very well in practice. The only way that I have seen people getting merit is by cheating (which will get you account frozen). Or by sucking up to the few people who give merit (which will destroy your self respect). I would recommend just giving up on trying to get merit, it is a rigged game that favours a few.

I think this merit system is built up to improve quality and helpful posts. So go and expose the scams. I am sure people are grateful to express their gratitude through deserve merit.

There are already samples of this that someone had exposed a future scam like the ICO of wechain which someone posted it in the accusation section, there were users who gave merits to that OP. Its sort of a warning to the community and of course we always want to give thanks to that. Giving merits as sort of showing gratification would be good.

not necessarily. do not expect to create a topic to get merit but hope that the topic you create will help other members avoid the scam project.
if you are really sincere to make a topic report a scam try to create a topic here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

I think your idea is good. If all of us do this the participants who come with scam project they will not be regard. And it's our duty to report to the authority about scam project. If you do this i Think you will get merit.

For getting merit you have to publish valuable info and have to find out the real fraud for this recognition I think

Exposing scam project is a good idea but I will suggest you to not doing it just for merit but for community benefit. And there isn't any security that you will get merit when you report scams. So, go for good posts that benefit the community and you will get merits for sure, more or less.

The exposure of scams are highly needed in the market as it is flourishing negativity. So, if someone do so, he/she will surely get a merit.

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think this will help you to get a merit. Rather post something useful and try to help the investors with the problem they face and ask in the forum.

I don't know but by doing this you help the community and with such topics I think you can earn merit.

If you will find serious evidence, then I will personally give you a merit. After all, you will help people save money and time. ;)

What project is that ? i will give you one merit if the project is big and scam many people.
Just go a head.

I think as long as there is evidence and the proof is substantial that the said project is a scam then there are chances that someone might find the information helpful and merit the publication, There has been a number of scam project, some of which are well fabricated that noticing that they are scams can be tricky, Identifying scam projects and exposing them is an untended area, you might just get merits for that

It should be considered as our duty to report to the authority if we find any fraudulent or irregular activity. So you may not always get merit, but sometimes you might.

Yes, you might get merits from exposing a scam. But, more to that, we must expose the scams for the benefits of the community and not for only gaining merits. If you do good works, definitely you are going to get merits.

claiming a project to be involved with fraudulent activities will end up in reward for the person who exposed it. But it needs intensive amounts of research and even some investments to see if it is legit or not. But it is better to take it as a duty and as a greed for rewards.
