I think selling and buying followers are not trusted actions since in the end who buy followers does it to get more stacks on bounties. So in my opinion this activity must be discouraged. I do not know if with DT red tag or not, this is not responsibility. Imagine a case in which a user uses 10 accounts with 10,000 followers bought, the result is an undeserving division of the stacks.

Are you able to calculate how many jr.members were born from yesterday to today and from who were born? For example, if a person gave the birth to 10 or 20 or 30 Jr.Members can starts to be suspicious!
This is a really hard work and a full time job right here. I cannot do like this and definitely I rather go home early and be with my kids and my wife. ~ LOL. What are you talking about. Nobody does it by hand. It is a matter of creating a script and using "snapshots" calculations from differences and some otputs, which is feasible for those with skills in this field. Nobody reads the profiles one by one manually. Once the script it's done is just press one botton.

What do you think, who these wonderful nicknames? Of course this is all new Jr. Members. Up 48 accounts! Hero who did it, already red - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=218947But most likely it was done in farm. I also found an explicit link between some of these accounts ( This is what I said few posts ago, 1 point is good but not enough since high ranks has a lot of merit and sells/sends to alts with no problem and that's why maybe 5 merit are better than 1 for Jr.Member.

The link to this user profile is broken! Fix it!

I was reading the forum and I came across this account romaleshc and I immediately noticed the fact that he had 250 merit and that he only had the rank of junior member. After careful investigation I can assume the account has been sold as we can see here https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=romaleshc. Is there any tool to see the old post history of some people on the forum even if it is deleted? Probably this account has been sold as a senior member (with all posts deleted), he needs just to spam around the forum to get the rank since he already has the merit. @LoyceV can you check on scapped old posts?

In this market you can't trust nobody, in the past those "experts websites" put high ratings for some ICO, and guess what? After the end of the ICO a scam exit happend. I remember this one https://icobench.com/ico/denaro/ratings#ratings, but happened for many others ICOs.

Could we maybe stop newbies from starting new topics as well? Meta is unusable right now. Edit: That won't happen, as Theymos wants newbies to still be able to come here and use the forum. Some come here seeking technical advice/troubleshooting and would need the ability to create a topic. Clarification: I meant just in the Meta board. Even if just for a couple of weeks until this all settles down. Agree it won't happen, but ugh, I dread to think how many times I'm going to rage-quit in the next few weeks. This is also normal. Where I live we say "to give time to time". Everything will soon be resolved and spam will decrease automatically, as happened months ago when the system of merit was introduced for the first time. They are on Denial Phase right now.

I think your stats are unfortunately overestimated. I can assume that many of the junior members are multiaccounts and many of them will have no trouble getting through / passing / buying 1 merit from someone. I hope that the requirement is increased soon to five and it will be not so punishing for good people because from how I'm reading today in the meta section the newbies who are posting and actually have some decent posts in their old history have already ranks again thank to sources and this prove that it is not so difficult to get the minimum necessary for the new rank for good posters.

If etherum will be used only to pay fees for erc tokens it can die, this is my idea. I don't think it will happen but is a fear of mine. The low price can be justified by the time of the market, but while the bitcoin has dropped by 66%, ethereum has fallen by more than 80% we will see what happens in the end of the year which is usually a moment of high volumes.

~ I gave up trying to earn merits. Took me 1 full day of work to make a very nice guide and i didn't received not even 1 thanks. a thanks! not a merit. a thanks!
I saw that someone gave you some merit at the end so your post was good, unfortunately you posted in a section of the forum with little visibility where most of the people in the forum don't ever read for obvious reasons, gambling is not seen well by many people.

Any official statement here? It would be very satisfying to ban and remove high rank abusers using this method.

Funny how when merit was first introduced who was legendary remained legendary. But now Jr. Members downgrade to Newbie. Fair. It's not fair, and I hope it will change somehow atleast for the multiaccounts. But let's be honest the most of people are complaining right now are probably the one who has a lot of multiaccounts for abusing or 99% of their post as bounty reports. I was Jr. when the merit was born, find your "field" and use it, if you do a great job you will merited.

Agree read carefull the post history of users, and look even if they copy paste what they wrote, now finally we have a small but powerfull tool don't ruin it on day 1. I got made a merit source this morning, which was a bit of a surprise since I hadn't ever applied to be one and have stated multiple times that I didn't want to be one. However, since Theymos has seen fit to saddle me with the responsibility, I'll accept it and take it seriously. ~
Congrats, you are the best users here! Active and cares about the community!

Ho capito male o ora quelli che non hanno preso merit non possono nemmeno postare sulla sezione altcoin? (bounty per ovvi motivi)
possono, ma hanno la firma disattivata, quindi a meno che i bounty manager non si inventano qualcosa d'altro per sfruttarli non ha senso farli partecipare. Peccato, se levava anche la possibilità di postare molti multiaccount avrebbero avuto vita difficile.

yep mi ha scritto theymos.. sono un MS a tutti gli effetti. Solo che mi ha caricato tipo 15 smerit.. quindi finiti questi, attenderemo altri 30 giorni.
Speravo in una cinquantina ma meglio di nulla. Bisogna anche dire che ha aggiunto 36 sources in una botta e sono tante, +40% rispetto a prima e che forse questo mese è per vedere gli effetti con conseguente taratura nei mesi prossimi. edit, ti quoto questo interessante quote al riguardo On average, merit sources(now) have less sMerit compared to what the average was prior to the upgrade/additions:
19,500/84 sources= 232.14 sMerits 23,045/120 sources= 192.04 sMerits That makes sense: some of the old sources have very high amounts, but most send much less than the average. In the last 30 days: 734: suchmoon 485: chimk 399: Foxpup 301: dbshck 244: Vod 234: hilariousetc 231: qwk 198: Micio 196: LoyceV 180: TMAN 162: Welsh 152: DarkStar_ 140: EFS 131: Halab 127: Jet Cash 115: JayJuanGee 113: BobLawblaw 110: MaRSe 97: LFC_Bitcoin 95: DdmrDdmr 92: bones261 92: frodocooper 90: OgNasty 88: theymos 87: paxmao 83: hilariousandco 75: Moloch 71: teramit 68: theymos_away 67: iCEBREAKER 63: nizamcc 63: _javi_ 60: micgoossens 56: Vlad2Vlad 55: esmanthra 54: Piggy 54: vapourminer 53: TrollCoins 52: ETFbitcoin 51: Gyrsur 51: xtraelv 51: o_e_l_e_o 51: Matthias9515 51: BitNow 50: RegulusHr 50: tomsmith26 50: SebastianJu 50: Jasad 50: bumbacoin 50: Johnny00 If my counting is correct, my source Merit went up twice until now. It makes sense to start with a relatively low amount, and increase if if the Merit source proves to distribute them properly.
