And here I am having a hard time earning merits and trying to make my posts as good quality as possible. I was just wondering how these kinds of people had such high merits and some scammers even have trusts on their accounts while people like me who are just doing things within the rules are sometimes having a hard time joining campaigns due to high requirements.

If you were more careful, you would see that this account has not earned a single merit in its entire history: https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=farlack The account has 1000 merit due to the fact that they were given to him by airdrop, after the introduction of the merit system in 2018, the airdrop was accrued based on the rank that the user had in January 2018. farlack has been Legendary for quite some time now, so it received an airdrop of 1000 merits, which was in line with the new Legendary rank rules.

I didn't know that. Coz honestly, when the merit system was implemented I seldomly posted here due to being busy at school. I have only merited few people as far as I can remember. Although he has a high rank, I admire his tenacity claiming to be an admin hahaha. If that was me, I wouldn't waste my time doing such things but instead focus on joining campaigns, coz it's just a waste of account.

You should do research about merit because you want to get some if you want something you have to do research on what it is how it affects you and what it means to your status, checking your post you just got active a few months but since you are on a senior status you know where to look and how to look for it, you're lucky you got a senior account without going through merits requirements.

I just recently came back from a long period due to busy schedule on my classes. To be honest when I first came here I never really took it seriously or even focus on ranking up coz all I read from the past is to maintain a good quality of posts, and yes, it's true that I know what to do here to get merits or even trusts, but only know of all the times that I took it seriously. Just like before I only did it just to pass time while earning a little bit. My mind was wholly focused on finishing my education.

And, another one bites the dust... (Kudos to the real admins!)



But, I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the last of him.

I did not expect him to be banned though. Forum does not moderate scams. There are no such rules that allow to ban someone for writing some BS on their signature or I am missing anything from the unofficial rules.

This account must be a bought account. A user who was here from long time would not do such thing and they will know for sure that who are the admins or administrators. At least they can not miss the activities from Theymos if we don't consider Cyrus much active. Waste of money for whatever his investment was LOL

The self-described admin was banned due to several accusations of ban evasion, not because he was a con artist.

So the team member who was trying to threatening everyone us that they will have to face consequences for calling him scammer have already tasted his own medicine by getting banned.Giving him signature ban was good but complete ban to such scammers who impersonate themselves as admin members is best.They try these cheap tricks Just to fool any newbie whom they might contact through PM or they message them so playing these cards but how they don't think they can get caught I don't know.But appreciate your efforts @Ratimov for exposing these scammers here.

As already pointed out by @Ratimov he has not earned any merit but have his rank from the airdropped merits when the system was implemented but you can gain more knowledge and write quality stuff to gain merits like you have received 5 merits and have sent 23 merits and scammers here are exposed who gain nothing in the end as you have seen.

This is serious case for proper action, but I believe the forum does not moderate the scam even if had dropped the hammer.
I agree with the ban, it's much better than having to give him a second chance. That user is trying to identify himself as an admin for his personal gain regardless if he is cheating or some other reason. It's never ethical, and yes a permanent ban is a consequence.

@Ratimov, your report has been handled. So this case seems to be closed, it must that is be a good catch.

To be honest, I did not send any report, I just created a topic and nothing more. Then, after a while, I went to the forum and farlack was already banned.

Someone other than you may have reported it and the admin found an old report which was then taken care of. It's just that the moment coincided.

For those who think that farlack is banned because of his dubious signature and false admin: the reason for his ban is not that he tried on the role of an administrator. He is a longtime ban evader, the evidence was presented 2 years ago:

Ban evasion.

account_seller777 - banned
farlack

Yeah, I'm just not used to dropping into those threads and probably missed them. But thanks for showing the real reason clearly. Admin took the right moment to ban farlack, so now everyone should know why.

This user can't even earn a merit, the merits you can see on his profile are airdropped merits. So looking at the merit of this member's profile, you have no reason to regret. And there is no positive feedback on this member's profile, all the negative feedbacks are showing. So it means that this member got these feedbacks for his activities!

I sincerely regretted what I did way back coz to be honest I didn't know what to do on my merit back then that's why I used it the way I used it just like what you have said. I failed to understand the meaning of merit system back then, I thought it would just refresh whenever it reaches a certain amount of time. It's really an honest mistake on my part, I should've been careful on my smerits coz now I don't even have one and there're lots of posts I read that deserves to be merited. Well lesson learned for me .

This time somehow, I'll take note all this advises you gave me and some of the fellow member's opinion here. Thank you very much I really appreciate the kindness.

I wonder how many newbies has falling to this scam scheme. Like this is one too many of scams in the forum and for newbies that might have fallen for this it may send a wrong signal to them thinking that this is how almost every other users in the forum is. I think there should be a punishment for such impersonation act so to serve as deterrent to anyone that might wanna nurse such idea in the future.

Hey bro you are recognized and your followership to the the forum rules is the best decision you and any other forum userlik you could ever make. Cause a multitude are doing something wrong doesn't make it right. One inevitable thing about following rules is that it gives you rest of mind while others are shaking.

Never expect Merit to come to the posts you make, when Merit doesn't come it will make you disappointed. Do something more valuable than you've ever made, there are plenty of Merit Sources in the forums who will reward posts that are considered quality.
Although judging the quality of a post is highly subjective, the generous people of the forum will not pass up a post that has value. Try to sell a product that attracts buyers.

The merits this person got were the same as the 250 Merit you earned when the merit system was introduced, by that time he had reached activity for Legendary and the forum Admin awarded him 1000 Merit.
