Topic: Idea on how to prevent merit abusing - page 2. (Read 325 times)
There is already a 'fee' built into the system. If you send 1 merit to a user they only have 0.5 so they need two merits to be able to send one, thus they will run out of merits pretty quickly. There's nothing you can really do to prevent abuse other than punish those who are caught doing so. If you decide to try cheat they system it's a very big risk because if caught your account will be tagged and ruined, thus it is better to just try earn merit naturally.
merit gets destroyed, give 10 merits and the receiver only has 5 sMerits to send.. I would suggest you read up on any one of the numerous threads regarding merit before you comment about merit again.
I was writing about making it expensive to send merit, not about restriction on how much you can send after receiving. But anyway, thank you for you suggestion and your comments here, I appreciate it.
Hi all. I was reading about all the merit related topics for some time, for the obvious reason.
I found there is such a thing as merit abuse, when highly merited users create alt accounts and give them merit, trade merit or exchange merit back and forth.
Wouldn't it be cool to treat merit as a sort-of-currency and a "meriting" as a transaction which requires some fee? Say, to give 10 merit you need to pay 1 merit fee and this fee is going to be destroyed?
What you think guys?

Surprisingly the concept of merit awards is to award merit for quality posting. It is not an indication of wealth, or the ability to spend any credit.
Yes, but if only everyone would follow the rules. Introducing currency-like property to merit would prevent gaming the system, it would just become too expensive. Exactly like PoS works, right?

The current merit system is good and it will be much more effective with time as the number of merit sources increase. Merit point should not be used as currency as it will lead to more offenders.

The next stage would be fractional reserve merit awards. If you have one sMerit, you would be allowed to award 10 new sMerits.
