Merit Abuse Via PM

[bill gator]

This has happened to me in the past and DT was very good about tagging the account.

I recently received a PM from user (haconghoan89), https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1339290 It reads :

hello there,
i have only this account and im working only twitter campaign because my lelvel english not allow me for signature campaign  
some campaign ask jr.member or higher,
so i just asking you give me 1 merit, please
here my post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030907.msg45831349#msg45831349
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030564.msg45826845#msg45826845
thank you so much.

Begging for merit through PM in an attempt to abuse the system. I'm going to mark the account with negative trust, but it may be more efficient for a DT member to do so.

I have reported the PM to Hilariousandco as unsolicated, but I am unsure if this leads to a ban so for reference/action I have posted it.

I faced a similar situation when i created a thread to award deserving members of forum with merits.
My inbox was totally spammed by these shit-posters within few days.

Hilariousandco should ban them once as a warning, and permanently on second time.


Another thing that surprised me and i find it really awkward and annoying is whenever i award a member with merit points i receive a letter of thanks from few of them through PM.

Trust System isn't only for DTs to use, everybody has the right to use it. IMO, you dont have to wait for any DTs to do that in your place.

BTW, I  tagged him for you and sorry for that coz I'm a fan of THE PHARMACIST when it comes to tagging

I admit that I also received similiar message from him and the first one begging me for merit.

[+1]. bill gator already marked him but there are still some users who don't understand this.

This user has gotten a handful of negative trust ratings and I doubt they will be bothering anybody in the near future. Thank you for your participation on this one, DT members. I'm sure hilariousandco has taken action on the PM as well since they haven't posted since that day. Locking this thread, not much else to see here.
