Today i see a Posting from this Account https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/giga-258817

Can any one me explain this? Newbie +10 Post +10 Activity and +100 Merit
What is wrong with the System? I can not see this guy merit history and for his 10 Postings he get no Merit reward from other Users
Is the Merit System buggy or have newbie with old register age will have merits, that will be very unfair for the newcomers Newbie/Jr. Member/Member. So this User can rank up very fast with low quality post only with activity to Full Member.
I'm confused! I think this is not this what theymos want...

It seems like this already a full member because there is nothing to show with doubleU received merits.I think his post are being deleted that's why the activity is low.

That's actually what I said above, but it seems like no one reads it. A agreed that maybe that account was already a full member and deleted its shitposts in order to receive more merits because people will avoid that account if its posts are all bounties/shitposts.

Nothing unusual. Check his registration date, seems that all the posts were deleted and that's why the activity went 0 but the merits are there. I guess it's a tradet account and the buyer is covering tracks by deleting old posts of the previous owner.

I don't think this is the case, actually. I don't see a single "received merit" when I check under their history. It seems that it was just a "bug" during the initial distribution of merit. When the system was released there were certain members that had their merit counts incorrect. It's possible that they just received an incorrect amount of merit to begin with. Deleting posts that have been merited does not cover up your tracks, it just keeps the merit stats and replaces it with "Deleted post" +1 or something. Do you have any proof this person has received a single merit?

I don't believe that it was just a bug. There's a possibility that the account has no merit received in history because it is a Full Member before.

But it seems like you got some point too.
If we can just check this account's deleted posts history. Maybe it will enlighten us. But where can we found it? Only Mr. Theymos can tell us the truth behind this account.

I think this is one of current bugs of bitcointalk's merit system, and Theymos should do something to stop this. My suggestion is if someone delete all their past threads, their account ranks should decrease to newbie and merit points should be decreased to 0.
This new rules will help to minimize account trading and stop them to do shitty stuffs like this guy.
I can not imagine that someone buy a Ledgendary account, then delete all past stuffs and total number of post-count drop to 0, the account rank then become Newbie, but merit points still be 1000 or higher.
It's extremely ridiculous.

That's it. Nothing we can found in his/her merit history. That's actually normal and understandable if 100 merits was allocated due to the account rank (maybe Full member), but I don't think someone wanted to delete all historical posts to drop account rank to Newbie. Sounds mad. Should delete gradually if he/she want to do this.

I think that account is already a Full Member with 100 as a default amount of Merit. Like what Mr. iasenko said, its posts was deleted that's why its activity decreased. The account was made back in 2014 and I'm sure that it reached Full Member rank. It seems like the user deleted all shitposts so that the owner can earn Merits by starting over again with good quality posts. So no need to worry about the Merit system because everything works fine
