I recommend @LoyceV to use box

That's too much for creating graphs manually (pixel for pixel).

What did you mean by stating these words "creating graphs manually (pixel for pixel).
Just have a data, using command (a simple one) on statistical softwares, and results will show up fastly.
I think it is very simple procedure, and I can do it very fastly, easily.

Unfortunately, I can not retrieve data from the forum (raw data given by @Theymos is not detailed enough for analysis).

I thought I answered this question already, but I guess I didn't post it.
I literally create the graphs by coloring the pixels one by one with a script.

If you can recommend any open source software that can do this on Linux, running from the command line, with just some numbers as input, I'd like to try it.

What do you need? I've scraped enough data to be able to provide you more details if it's something worth doing.

I am little bit confuse.

 

Probably this msg show if user has no merit history.

Example: http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/358058.html

If I am not wrong, user has no merit history. I was confuse about that because page showing 404 error.

It's better to implement with " This user has no merit data yet instead of 404 error.

So every one will be understand about it.
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks, I didn't think about the possibility of anyone looking up userIDs with no Merit. You saw the default 404, I've changed it into this:

It must have been months since you read the op

See http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/763725.html and http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/1153691.html, this looks like merit abuse indeed.

[AnakJendral]

this looks like merit abuse indeed.

Maybe that's my point

[LoyceV]

I've updated the website up to last Friday.

If anyone's interested in finding Jr. Member merit abuse: I made my final update for List of demoted Jr. Members who were ranked up again yesterday.

this looks like merit abuse indeed.

May be that's my point

I know, hence the word "indeed" in my post

I have not actually started working with your datasets, but I will do it later.

Recently, I published a thread on another topic, which has presented the facts of merit distribution since March this year.
Glad to share it here if you don't feel annoying with this one.

I will do a time-series analysis with your datasets.

I don't mind (and found your post already).
But your data will soon be lost within that big thread. It's better to create your own thread for it, and add updates in there.

It looks like privatedns.org disappeared entirely! So far for my free domain, my entire history is now offline
It works again

[JSRAW]

I had some free time so decided to try this script with one project's participants which signature I am wearing and its fun so far, it's amusing that how some users always find loopholes in the system.

Checked one Junior member account named  sergoia65: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2366970  and results are kinda disturbing at least for me. that people have 5-6 alt account.

Merit given by  dumbtool45 : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=965234 and following user is in Red trust due to Merit/Account trading.

 
I am not Sherlock but It's very clear to me that the following accounts belong to the same person.

Merit received by:
sergeyawa1   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1857021
sergoia65      https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2366970
sergeyawa4   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2317796
sergoya66     https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2366949

So my question is how we are going to tackle this kind of behavior? why not a permanent ban for those users who involved in the trading account or merits.

[LoyceV]

Updated until last Friday's Merit data dump.

why not a permanent ban for those users who involved in the trading account or merits.

Like trust, merit isn't moderated:

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

Theymos also said not to worry too much about small merit abuse, in the end it doesn't matter much.

The question is, how much is "small merit abuse?". 10-50-100-1000?

With due respect, is there any specific reason/ thought process to avoid such kind of abuse? If it's because of lack of time, then I can understand that.
Abuse is Abuse no matter big or small, and there should be similar consequences for the same kind of act if proven or caught. Or we are waiting for a small abuser to get big?

They will run out of sMerit to abuse so the problem will sort itself out and there is not much point wasting too much time and effort on it.

Yes, they will and it make sense in big abuser's case but What about the small ones who bought merits for themselves or their Alt accounts. an exceptional case is always there.

I switched hosts, please forget "loycevsbasement" and use http://loyce.club/Merit/history/userID.html from now on. This host is faster, and should have much better uptime.

Bump! I forgot last week, so here it is

Suggesting for a more pretty environment like having a 3d graph or make the list completely more fancy readable.
It might not be needed but just suggesting for improvements on the site
