I don't really think that the merited posts merite 50 points, this is a clear abuse.
Some thoughts:
Even confirming that the sender is an abuser, it will require more proofs to confirm the connection between the accounts; means no determined proofs of clear abuse against receivers (at most cases, posts can be reported if meaningless or shitposts).
The problems of merit system abuse can be reduced by adding a demerit option (already suggested by DT members) available for mods and DT members in abuse cases.
The topic has no Meta content, it's a matter of profile's reputation.. i think this is the appropriate board.
LOL how recognised are you at bitcointalk is that not a profiles reputation? get that one moved first then.
This is the merit board. Get with the program.
LOL no thanks DT members should not have this power. Mods only. You can't really ruin a board with 2 or 3 being accountable because they can not gain enough momentum it easily becomes observable as a dictatorship and since the only real fear is a ban people will just leave. However start opening it up to a clique of 40+ and there associated pets and you will make things far more risky and dark here.
Demerit for mods only with clear criteria.
This guy deserves some merit for spotting abuse.
