But unfortunately, I can't find any transactions of merit on Vod bpip. https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Newbie1273819

I guess the post was deleted once it was merited and that's why merit transactions have not been recorded by BPIP
Those merit transactions are shown in Loyce.club.

The account shows linked to it here (although not the actual deleted post):
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Newbie1273819%22&t=h_&ia=web

I don't know why it says No results found for "Newbie1273819".

Interesting, i remember the case of this user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2189580 but he goy banned.

I doubt this user has abused the merit system.
According to BPIP, this user has received 127 merit 57 times, from 32 profiles including some well-known users of the forum.

Well well, beautiful things are happening on Bitcointalk, eg: you can get 136 merits without writing a message 
but not just merit...
DT1, feedback... that's what we mean by "Bitcointalk is dying" >>>> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214462.0

A forum where just one particular group wins, one group is right, where the privileged make the law...
Like some ancient British say: "everyone is equal, but British are more equal"
You declared me a scammer, you declared everyone who trusted me a supporter of scams, then those who added them the "supporter of scam supporter"... thus your plan to disenfranchise all the Turks is in play...

you send your lowly hitmen after me for propaganda with drools in his mouth every day

while there is still time, stop all the dissenters and alternative opinions, otherwise this is going to turn into a public uprising, like the French Revolution... V for Vendetta

I call to all excluded and outcast communities and individuals:
Save yourself from "learned helplessness" and REBEL
don't think someone is superior to you, don't let them make you think like that, crush them when they dare to attempt something like that.

Don't kneel to the feet of your enemies; SPIT ON THEIR FACES, otherwise you would lose the respect of your enemy as well as your own self respect.

To get my 21 Merits, I killed 3-5 months on the forum.
I feel that I am bewildered now and my heart is stabbing.

Why are you feeling bewildered for earning Merits?

Unless I'm missing something.

Interesting. All 3 accounts that sent the merits woke up on 27 December 2019 in the evening hours.
The merits were sent between 09:46 and 09:50 PM on that same day.

I think each of us knows the answer to this problem   But just with this information, it is not enough for us to confirm that they are connected account   It is really shady, it shows an abuse in the merit system between connected accounts to each other. If this topic has not appeared here yet or the owners of these accounts do not see this topic, perhaps this new account will be used some time later to get the desired rank   An easy way to abuse the merit system and increase ranks, create a new connected account

If anyone wants to monitor this kind of sMerit TXs, you can play around with the parameters on the Merit Dashboard TX Tab (i.e. date range, ranks from/to, board, sMerits sent in the TX).

For example the following shows the list of all sMerit TX greater or equal to 10, sent to Brand New or Beginners since the 01/12/2019 (*): https://public.tableau.com/shared/6SQCZ7QS6?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link

Besides the star case clearly popping-up, there are some genuinely interesting cases of Newbies being merited for seemingly great technical posts, amidst a tenner received for some smashing advise on How to make a girl fall for you? (which looks like an addition to the sender’s farm for a back-tracked post) ...

(*) Clicking an item on the list allows you to go to the Sender’s profile, Receiver’s profile or merited post.

What for? You got your merits the way they are meant to be collected. Maybe you didn't get the amount you fell you deserve but you are still doing fine in the post-to-merit count. Just do your thing.

This individual probably cheated. I can't say for sure but the evidence is pointing that way.
It is better to have your 22 earned merits rather than abusing the system and wasting your account when you eventually get caught.

So what are the consequences of those arrested? So far, a lot of abusers have been discovered, but we just sit here and talk. No one is to propose or implement any punishment. And the abusers are still there, they achieve their purpose, no punished, no flagged, nothing.

Lets have some Common sense please as the world is already fucked up enough.

to the op I think someone  tricked you into thinking it was abuse when instead it was a way to stir the pot.

I think the most likely explanation is one that is the simplest - someone used their alt accounts or hacked accounts to rain some merits on an account with no negative feedback so that they can start ranking it, or because it's now probably worth *something* and they could sell it. It is also possible the owner of that account bought merits from someone else.

Some interesting similarity among these 3 account.

Local Time : same in each account.

Noteable that, these account are created in different date, the post categories are also different. But I see that, their last post created in 2018. And in 2019-2020 they don't have a single post or deleted.

<…> So what are the consequences of those arrested? So far, a lot of abusers have been discovered, but we just sit here and talk. No one is to propose or implement any punishment. And the abusers are still there, they achieve their purpose, no punished, no flagged, nothing.

I guess you mean caught rather than arrested …

There are really not that many cases blatantly caught, and being 100% certain is quite difficult (although one may be 100% suspicious of a given case). Some extreme cases have had their merits countered (this, in my opinion, should be one of those cases), and since merit is not moderated, they do not get banned for it.

Applying negative Trust is pretty controversial. On the one hand, they have very likely cheated the system, and therefore are not really trustworthy. On the other hand, Trust is more of a commercial/scam feature, and whilst these individuals have done something shady, it does not mean that they are going to scam or are even likely scam others. More often than not though, they still get tagged if the case is crystal clear in intent. Smaller cases get away with it, but in the big picture the idea is that they are not representative (and close to impossible to prove lest they self imply).

This case does represent a case example of why airdropped sMerits that have not been used after such a long time may be better done with (that would be my personal preference). But then again, we don’t really see many similar cases.

I'd guess the OP means stopped rather than caught, translating back from neo-latian languages that fits the writing style at least. In this case, I'd assume french or spanish.
stopped = arrêté/detener = arrested. Language lesson over

Maybe you are correct. I edited my post to reflect that.








Does anyone have an archive of this thread.
Ovys posted here and it is gone  it was deleted.  Does anyone have that deletion?
