Title: Suspicious Merit abuser
Post by: coin8coin8 on September 18, 2018, 01:52:10 PM
I just posted a few pictures to prove that these Merit are obviously not worth it.
zanzibar (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=218947) sent 15 Merit to newbies in two days, most of which are spams, or links, and even deleted posts. This is very suspicious.

This is just a proof post.

Spam about "good projects".

And posts that have been deleted,definitely not of high quality, otherwise it will not be deleted.

Replying in a local language in a non-English section.

Tagged the user proactively. If they make any replies then it'll require more attention but I feel like this is an instance of stolen-account syndrome.

The post history makes the (original) user seem to be someone who actually posts in discussions, rather than stay idle for months while sending out merit. Too suspicious.

I do not know about the hypothesis of hacked or sold account, but the password has not changed.[1]
zanzibar sent merits to many accounts "after the ranks demoted," many of these accounts have the same "Date Registered," "Local Time" and writing style.
Is this not enough evidence?
