Just what we need, more back door shady ways to decimate people's accounts with zero public accountability. I am sure nothing bad will result from this...

This was a bug....and has been corrected. There doesn’t appear to be any policy in place removing merit.

That's a bug.

The merit number is a cached value derived from the merit ledger. I think that the number got out of sync and weird here due to a bug which existed for a short time last week. The number would've corrected itself the next time this user received any merit.

Whenever theymos “demerits” someone, there will be a -X merit comming from “Bitcointalk forum” in the user’s merit history. And he only does that in some specific cases of merit abuse.

Sure about that?

There is a higher standard for merit sources, however it is not unreasonable to put additional (retroactive) rules on merit sources because this merit effectively comes directly from theymos.

Well I am glad I have your assurance it is ok. I am sure this will not be abuse like every other tool he has created relating to trust.
