Any official statement here? It would be very satisfying to ban and remove high rank abusers using this method.
Better ask mods about this, you could pm mods from bounty section or just post you inquiry on Welsh's [Guide] Reporting effectively thread, he always answer when someone posts their inquiries about reporting. I'm asking to mods, hoping to get one answer soon or later!

I have the feeling that some users are going to start trading sMerit points.. just saying. I still believe in the goodness and honesty of the people. But it is a possibility.
It's happening since the start of this system, if you find solid cases you can post them here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2896910.0. as you can see a lot of people were reported and now it seems more and more people starting to DT red trust them.

Probably can be. Since ethereum is right now only used to pays fees for ico tokens, it can collapse soon. They need to do something to change this way for using ETH or I don't think it will last for a long time.

If you talk about an altcoin already on the list of coinmaketcap, it is better that it is also included in the lists of large excahnge to attract the greatest number of people possible. The ico just completed, hardly can be listed on huge exchenge immediately, from what I understand costs a lot of money to have the place on some exchange. For this reason I tend to believe in the altcoin that are listed on big exchanges and ICOs that have the intention to enter big exchanges, if an altcoin does not want to enter big markets I can hardly believe I can get a decent value over the time.

It will be great if you succeed to write a script that detects members sendig Merits to each others.
I don't think it is going to be hard to code such script but you will need an access to the Merit database.
We already have several tools for this purpose, you can see one here done by @DdmrDdmr https://public.tableau.com/profile/ddmrddmr#!/vizhome/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/GlobalSummary

I hope yours is sarcasm.

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.
