I thought that initially Theymos had written something in the OP of the merit announcement thread about merit sources being prohibited from selling merit, but he seems to have reworded it and removed such language, but i am sure that he said it.
Therefore, I conclude that selling of merit is not illegal right? Since it is just a form of trading which theymos already have stated that it should not be an issue? Trading merit is pretty obvious tho. Unlike selling it in which it stays between the two persons involved. Good point there that if a certain user sells its merit then it isn't illegal? Correct me if im wrong then that certain user should not be tagged?https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2983886.0
The dude was doing merit abuse which AFAIK isnt against the rules yet but is 100% taggable by a DT member and that's what happened
BTW I haven't asked this thing to you anyway thanks for answering to questions, soon the public will know the real truth.
