since the enactment of the new rules regarding the rank system, many people give their merit to their other accounts that have poor post quality. or about selling merit. is there a penalty for them or is it permissible?
if they are proven to do this. what if their rank is lowered too?

Abusing Merits or trading it isn't allowed so users who will be caught doing such things will be punish for sure. They will receive Negative Trust, since Merit is not moderated they will not be banned (if my memory serves me right).
Based from the title itself, merit giver won't be punish as long as you distribute your sMerits in different good ways and it is much better to not receive any Merits than to get one from trading it.
Anyway, the answer for your question is too obvious. Making thread for topic like this is unnecessary. Please try to search and read sometimes.

Yes, that is abusing merit the receiver and sender merit will be punished once they are caught someone and proven they are abusing both accounts were got negative trust. What is lowered rank you mean? Only neg tag they've got. You can report here if you found suspected merit abuse. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2896910.0

That is completely untrue, and it reflects the mindset that is destroying this forum. Negative trust just castrates your spam procreation ability for bounties. You can still avail yourself of the major benefits of membership here.

Bounties are a broken trailer bouncing along on the road behind the forum. It is a very small part of the activities here. Unfortunately it is the noisiest and most intrusive part, rather like a badly educated child with parents who have no consideration for others. If you have been banned from bounties, then you are now free to spend you time in research, and you can build a decent career for yourself.

There is a system already in place where in you can report any suspicious merit activity found.The merit system has been made stricter so as to stop merit abuse.But it still remains a question how the merit sale and "give and take" things will be detected.??

Each post is encouraged by merit, is checked. You can rest assured that one day the person who sells Smerit on this forum will be caught. In addition to the administrator, there are a lot of old-timers who follow these rules and they are bound to see it or they are told by other participants. I am sure that if at the moment there are no such strict rules, they will be introduced. Have no doubt. Do not look for quick ways to make money, and use a simple rule: "Give more than you get"

You maybe wrong at somewhat extent. After the merit sytem and new rank requirement started months ago, forum users - especially lower-ranked ones - stimulated by new rank requirements which highly correlated with merit sytem. Together, these twos force users to improve their theads' quality by concentrating more on their ideas, writing skills, in-context discussion, etc. to be rewarded with merits for their good contribution. Each post is encouraged by merit, is checked.

I believe that the administrator of this forum may able to penalized those who are abusive in relation to merit credit to shit posters. Most likely, the admin may do some sort of sanction on the matter which I believe, gaining merit should be given to someone who deserves to acquire it. Newbies should continue to improve and enhance their post to become more impressive and informative to the readers.

If you can report such people to mods, obviously they will get a red trust for doing that, and getting red trust in the forum is worst penalty any member won't want to receive here, and you could be gifted some merit for it, though it is not a guaranty

Did you born yesterday? This topic discussed ten times already from the most beginning of the merit system. Yes, there is punishment for such people, for that were created special threads where other users can report on merit abusing cases and of course they should to add proves.

Really? I've always felt encouraged to give it away to as many legitimate users as I can find.

There is no rank demotion taking place when a merit abuser is found out guilty but I think painting their account red via a negative trust rating is enough punishment to them, just by painting them red it will be harder for them to transact to other people with their businesses as well as they will have limited options on what campaign they will be able to join.

I'm still new in this forum, I don't really understand how this works. can someone review the history of my post? I hope to get at least 1 merit. I have tried to make the best post according to the knowledge I have about cryptocurrency and a little about my economic knowledge.

Yes, that is abusing merit the receiver and sender merit will be punished once they are caught someone and proven they are abusing both accounts were got negative trust. ... I'm wonder if getting red trust would stop such merit trader from continuing this activity? For example this guy: LINK has already got -32 trust and he's still trading without care.
Maybe exept red trust it could be possible to block his sMerits for some period of time or delete them for good. Such guy could still get Merit for his contribution but not sMerit until his punishement period will pass. This would stop him trading for good. I'm sure that such solution could be developed.

Really? I've always felt encouraged to give it away to as many legitimate users as I can find. The only thing, AFAIK is that sources are not allowed to sell merit, whereas there is nothing specifically said about it for the rest of the users. A source can and will make mistakes and cannot be blamed excessively if a merited user decides to act badly or if merit goes to a good post that later is found to be plagiarised. I would not worry too much... perhaps checking the profile of newbies or before giving to users that have low merit and many posts... you know... basic precautions. Oh, and be sure that you will eventually be accused by some sore spammer and the like.
