Just curious how you made it?
The merit backscratchers list is a very long one. I believe that it takes lots of time to compose and edit it manually.
Hence, I guess you coded to make it automatically.

Theymos does regular data dumps every week. It's likely just a version of that. Loyce, piggy and vod I think keep updated copies of all time merit givings...

There's provably quite a few other users who do if you're after something?

Sad. It looks like I need to do some more scratching to get to the top of this list.

Please scratch my back. Promise I'll scratch yours if you get it depilated first Grin

Special edit for weasels looking for trouble and taking my words out of context, this is ironic.

The number one couple on the list is a multi-account that was "reported" by Asche

Multiple Account + merit exchanging

Hello,

I want to expose the ties between two accounts, Coin++ and CarlOrff.

CarlOrff made the mistake to say "I said" referring to a post written by Coin++.

This has been captured by myself here : http://archive.is/IRrYI

@halab, french staff member, or maybe @actmyname who also understands french as far as I can remember should be able to confirm this.

He deleted his post following my statement.

You can also see they have been exchanging roughly 100 merit.

you mean received in green sent in red?

Yes, you're right

I should have picked blue to be in line with my Merit history graphs.

Yep. I counted myself 12 times in that list.

I have no excuse for this horrible abuse but I can promise it can only get worse because I still have an ungodly amount of sMerits to send and given that I already merited ~800 (IIRC) users I can't imagine I'd be able to spread them much wider.

Update: jackg suggested to add Merit sent (in green) and received (in red) to put things into perspective.

Can you do something of a value of total merit sent to that user/total merit sent overall

I like this idea

Done

As one that doesn't visit the Meta board much, I want to thank LoyceV for the continuous original fact proofing he has been providing.

edit to add: I read that it was a suggestion from OgNasty, but thanks for following it through and doing it.

If they are involve in a bigger circle of backscratchers isn't it more easier to track as you will see that there is some kind of commonality when it comes to the names showing off in their merit history? Of course they won't show up in the top of the list as you are right on them being in a bigger circle but I think it's possible for all of their names to show up at some point, I mean 5-25 merits sent by each of them is very achievable for backscratchers who started with a big airdrop of merits.

Anybody want to count appearances or add up totals on the list and see who the biggest abusers are?

I wouldn't go as far as calling them "abusers". I've not run the numbers, but I'd wager suchmoon would be number one simply by virtue of having given out almost 10k merits. Pretty much everyone who has ever given suchmoon more than 18 merit will appear on that list.

These statistics will add more fuel to the fire. i expect a few new threads are coming soon, using these number to continue a war that has not yet finished.

Interesting. Had I wondered about what such a list would look like before this thread got created, I would have predicted much different results. I don't even recognize most of the members who are scratching each others' backs, which makes me think that there's a lot of possible merit abuse happening with accounts that had a lot of airdropped sMerits, but that's just my speculation.

A lot of shitposters tend to accuse well-known senior members of circle jerking and sending merits back and forth to each other, and other forms of merit abuse, but from what I see here that's not the case--or at least that it's not the huge problem that the shitposters make it out to be.

If he's the one who requested this data, I'd be curious to know what he thought the results might show.

Interesting and kinda odd idea. I didn't make the list, I'm guessing that's quite a good thing.

Can you do something of a value of total merit sent to that user/total merit sent overall and add those for each side to see what we get? That might be more interesting... Might be helpful in spotting account farming too...

How did you determine who is in which column?

The highest userID comes first. That was an arbitrary choice.

Obviously merit is in a bear market at the moment.
