So far merit is a great idea to reduce the number of spammers and quite efficiently despite the many pros and cons.
but the power still often finds the number of people who created cloned accounts to get plenty of places in an airdrop or bounty program
Losses that often arise from this
1 We honest people often do not get a place
2 developers can not get what they want because often from this behavior the network expansion process can not be maximized and this seems to be a challenge for experts to reduce it
Ip Protection is a very good idea but it can not run perfectly and it becomes a sales slot for bct account for naughty people is there any way to reduce something like this?
Merit is a good approach from our admin in my opinion, but merit cant do it alone to get rid of spammer and account duplicate. There must be some adjustment made to make it happen, such as :
1.
For people who can gives merit, try to gives merit to one who really deserves it. If merit is given to the right person, then it will bring more positive things for the forum.
2.
For bounty and signature campaign manager, try to adjust merit to some rules for the job appliance, it can helps to reduce alt-account because it will be hard to earn merit for alt account because people with alt accounts tend to do a shitposting and spamming.
Number 1 can be heavily subject based on person's point of view of "worthy" posts, so it is kinda hard to make a standart for it, while number 2 is achievable through people who manages campaign in this forum. There are not so many by now, i only know yahoo62278's campaign with some merit rules in the job requirement, and i guess this is where the campaign's future heading to.
