Sure thing Vlad , I'll leave you to talking between your alt accounts.
Edit : Checking hornetsnest posting history it's pretty obvious that he's another alt of Vlad , though it can't be proved with linked addresses etc , but seems like he has the same style of talking to himself like he's doing in the post lower with Vlad9Vlad.
Look at this cunt making false assumptions.Anyone who administers this site with backend access can easily see I am not Vlad with actual meta data ...you dumb cunt
Sure buddy , but honestly just post from your main account , should be much easier.
Shove your meta data up your a hole , or Vlad's hole , should be relatively the same thing
Im not your buddy you fucking halfwit.How about I start making assumptions about you all over the web and you become my pet project from now? Now fuck off and go about your business and that means leaving me out of it

This one is quite funny though , he's talking to himself
OP , please add : https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/vlad9vlad-837994 to your list

If Vlad or anyone else gives me merit and I like a post of theirs I can give them as much merit as I want because my personal opinion of whats a quality post is my individual choice.

I have followed Vlad's thread for years and will merit who I fucking please when I please.It's a free country numb nuts so if you don't like it then pack up your tent and fuck off to China,Iran,North Korea or Russia
Flag time? I'll watch until more evidence is presented and some consensus is formed.
Since trading merit is against the forum rules, shouldn't the accused member/s be reported rather than tagged? I mean what stops them from trading merit even with an active flag and a dozen negative feedback?
But when we start talking about ranking up to Sr, Hero or Legendary, it becomes impossible for anyone to consider spending that much.
That sounds reasonable.

Isn't merit trading only against the rules if you are a merit source? I mean, we all agree that it's not a good thing to do, but the consensus from the community that something is not ok is one thing and being officially not allowed is another thing.
To be honest, even after 2 years of being around, the "rules" are still confusing to me.
If you read the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules it has no rules regarding the trading of merit, however, there is another pinned topic FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit
It literally states:
Selling merit is disallowed.
Do I think that is a forum rule even though it's not in the rules' topic? YES. Am I 100% right about it? No clue.
Flag time?
Put your poll away, the humans are talking. Cats need some patience.
Interesting topic, looking forward to seeing how it develops.
I highly doubt that hornetsnest would pay $2710 to get that 271 merit, so if this is anything, he is probably farming accounts and not actually selling merit, or he is not aware of how much they go for.
I always thought that the reason some users sell merits for as much as $10/each is that some users just want a quick single merit to start bounty hunting and $10 isn't such a big amount.

No, i've seen it for $10 and upwards.
Not saying this is the case here, but fact is many people are desparate for merits and will gladly pay for just 1.
As you know, most bounties accept jr members or members minimum fir signature campaigns, so it's turning out to be a real shady off-forum business

Anywhere from $10 per merit upwards
Please tell me you dropped an extra number there by mistake, do you mean $1 per merit? if it's really anywhere near $10 per merit then why

This is clear cut merit abuse. Probably a merit sale deal going on or Vlad2Vlad is trying to farm some accounts. He/she shamelessly thinks he/she can get away with it since merit abuse isn't moderated.
Also the thread started by him is listed 4 times in top 21: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-riddle-of-the-twin-brothers-who-were-are-and-will-rule-the-world-317658 which is weird at least.

He gave 50 merits to a newbie with 4 posts for that single reply , found it odd , but assumed he was just overly generous cause the newbie supported his city.
Saw you were reffering to this in the op .
Probably some sort of off-forum selling going on.
As it seems he ranks them up, and they send back half of it (as i understand, for every 2 metits you get 1 smerit)

If so, that is not allowed. sMerit is not a commodity.
I agree. Unfortunately fiverr.com has many merit sellers.
