Good find!

Is it a public "sale"? Yeah, probably? Shall we discuss it? No. Want to know why? Because the post has already been reported and deleted. Now I don't think that means the 75 merit generated from the use (50 from the spend, 25 from the new spend created) can be recalled, but maybe pinkpanther will be banned for some period of time.

That is fine, I hope to punish it very bad for business merit,
because it makes those who are keeping smerit not generous with quality posts.

Give the guy negative trust. You can leave the BTC value as zero which will keep his trust rating from turning red (which has more severe consequence). So the guy gets the message that his activity has been seen and is wrong and maybe he learns from it. You can always keep monitoring his progress and if it happens again - escalate.

Finally, there's a Reputation board on this forum. Feel free to call this guy out for poor reputation based on his perversion of the merit system.

Thanks, I will learn how to use "Trust"

yes of course it's insulting, I wrote 7 days 1 post, review Verge and he collected only 1 merit. Next time I wrote a review OmiseGo But this post did not collect anything

Being a newbie, it's good to see that the merit system on this forum is seen in such high regards and that there are those who are willing to step up and call BS without making it a personal attack.

Good catch, OP.

The person sending this merit is Pinkpanther03 and the person receiving it is wingzcrypto2018.

To me, either there is a connection between these accounts (they are alts), or they are conducting a merit sale. Either way, it's definitely shady behaviour and is not accepted on this forum. There is no way that that post which had no value deserved 50 merits. I'll send a negative feedback to Wingzcrypto2018. Pinkpather was actually already tagged for abusing sig campaigns.

BTW, please move this to reputation since it involves the discussion of two forum members' reputations.

There are always people who take advantage of the loophole of the law, fortunately it is in the few .

Work harder, me and you, the results always come to the diligent, sooner or later.

Great catch, actually! I can see, that the link in not working anymore (at least for me), hence the moderators took an appropriate action. There is nothing else to add to the previous posts at this point.

One thing I believe it deserves, is a merit point for you. Get it.

Hope that helps to answer your initial question.

Thanks, actually my post here wants to wake up people who intend to buy and sell Merit.
The law always has a flaw, but we must not abuse it for self-interest .

I heard merit is soo expensive about 15$ for 1 merit

Where did you heard that? That would be a ridiculous price anyways. Can you imagine someone paying $15*50=$750 to get 50 merits? Why would anyone do that?

But merits are not for sale by rules. Whoever cheats may face a ban.

In the world there are a lot of crazy people and sometimes they do inexplicable things. Maybe he wants to have an account with his nickname.
Instead of creating a new topic, it was necessary to post  here.

People would do it just for one reason: signature bounty campaigns. Being a Full Member you will be able to earn more with one campaign, so they treat it as an investment. Though it is really silly and you will earn more investing in crypto and it won't take you so much time. And it is not ethical and against the rules, of course.

That user has many alt accounts and they have been tagged. What else do you want?

In my total of 322 Posts, I received 3 merit posts in 2 posts:

Your posts are either oneliners, paraphrased articles or topics like this one ATTENTION - SECURITY WITH MyEtherWallet - which has already been answered and explained million times. I don't want to mention your other "how to" topics obviously created to farm merit(how to use italic button, how to post smiley, how to write post using keyboard, how to close bitcointalk using "X" button )

[Aikidoka]

That post is not worth a single merit point. But you know, if you want to make people find you out, give yourself 50 merits, or buy merit points, or tell your friends to give you 50 merits which is an utter stupidity. Either they wanted to outsmart us or they clearly were dumb. Like, why do people want easy things... Is it hard to make a bit of effort and make a good post? Anyway, people will continue to violate this system...

You wrote "7 days 1 post"?  What's that even supposed to mean. 

Look at how many posts I've written and how much merit I've received since the whole thing started in January, and you won't hear one word of complaining out of me.  It is true that I'm already a Sr. member, but wearing that hero badge of honor is a goal of mine.  It just is going to take time for you and me both.  Be patient.
