I don't know if something can be done, but I will report here my findings...
Already report to the moderators also.
When I saw someone claiming their rank has increased to Full Member in a bounty thread I found that strange!!
(nowadays is practically impossible to rank up)
When I check the merit page I saw that the user has received 73 merit points from the same person...
