Farming account & abusing merit after connected was Detected

[TokenTikas]

Few months ago, 13 connected accounts were caught, and all of them were ruined at the same time. Recently, it appears that after the Legendary-ranked account Dr.Osh received a red trust rating, an attempt is being made to build up a new account again and start misusing merits.

• Dr.Osh Legendary - Date Registered: 13 October 2015, 04:24:00 Last Active:(Recently)

One more important piece of information:
When those accounts were caught, he was also being caught on his second home, Altcointalks, because he had started using AI there. There are signs of misconduct there as well, and even now he continues to post there and carry on with the same behaviour. The links below contain traces of it if anyone wants to take a look.

Dr. Osh is not only involved with connected accounts here, he is also (Ai post) to issues on his second home altcointalk, where his misconduct has already been exposed. He is not doing these shady activities only here, but also carrying out the same kind of behaviour on Altcointalk as well.

History of account farming and merit abuse:

New Account: SpongeS
Recently, I have brought another example of misconduct to everyone's attention. On the new account, as many as 50 merits were sent to posts that are generally low quality and do not appear deserving of merit. Sending such a large number of merits to undeserving posts is clearly an abuse of the merit system.

AakZaki, it was because you reported the connected accounts that it became possible to expose this masked wrongdoer once again. It is quite clear that there are more accounts belonging to him on the forum. Personally, I would also like to the attention of DT members, as you did, so that appropriate action can be taken regarding these accounts.

I see that this account is active on the ALTT forum, and therefore, as long as there's a second chance for these accounts, they'll continue creating more and abusing their merits.

Once they gain negative trust, they'll move their activity to the other forum.

He started sending out a bunch of merits when his account was busted, maybe trying to implicate other users or just trying to use the opportunity to farm other accounts. Judging from the post history, SpongeS is definitely an alt account, though I'm not sure if it's linked to Dr. Osh at the moment. The account is mostly used to participate in contests in the games and rounds board

This may be the case but not sure. If you look closely, you will also see how many merits were sent to this ordinary post of mine after the report was made. I was quite surprised to see that.

The account is not limited to Games and Rounds. A closer look shows that he is trying to get into signature campaigns. He has been applying for campaigns since the account reached 100 merits.

Some offense committed in this forum can be used against you in ALTT forum, vice versa.
Majority of the people in this forum are also on the ALTT forum so if your reputation is damaged in this forum i don’t think anyone can trust you in ALTT forum except those who are not on this forum which I believe are few.

Since members from this forum are allowed to move to the other forum with their Rank and activity then I believe trust given to that same account should follow with it too.

Unfortunately, trust feedback are not reviewed regularly, or some signature campaign managers don't. There was a discussion about this, but I don't recall a resolution being reached.
