Topic: Phishy Merit! (Read 237 times)
Thanks everyone for commenting on this thread. Now I got to know that how I received that Merit
It's there. It's actually the last paragraph from the topic you linked.
I've already seen at least 2 other threads on this same subject. I wish people would use more the search feature...
The last paragraph explains the random merits sent by “Bitcoin Forum” not the caption voting event, which is what OP asked for. I've already seen at least 2 other threads on this same subject. I wish people would use more the search feature...

They are correct. They are sent from the Forum for participating in the post Caption thingy ...See: Caption results
<...> Thanks to everyone who participated! If you voted in this event, you received 1 merit; if your caption appeared in the first table above, you also received 10, and if your caption appeared only in the second table above, you also received 2.
I also got that merit but didn't have any clue from where that came that but now i know the real story. Its seems that everyone is being merited either he participated in the drawing contest or caption activity.
Well, this issue has been discussed in the meta section. Just read their explanation and probably you understand very well.

Indeed, it would be good if you lock this thread too. Already answered by NeuroticFish.

I couldn't find the other thread, so I assume he edited the post with the voting results: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/caption-results-5206366

Everyone who participates in the caption thing that DdmrDdmr mentioned will received 1 from bitcoin forum. Those who didn't participate won't received merit. I also received 1 merit from bitcoin forum same as you. I think it's only normal since there's no exact post that will be merited that's why the topic is deleted/off-limits/ignored) plus the merit is from the forum but since there is no profile for bitcoin forum then when you click the sender it would only redirect to your profile.
what's the caption thing? can you link it to me.So when theymos wanted to give merits without using his main account, he'll use this directory, Merit from (Bitcoin Forum) for (Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored)?
Agreed, the default profile link is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile even you put zero on it;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=000000 it will just go to your profile because the bitcoin forum itself has no personal uid.

Do you mean 'fishy'? I thought there's some new scam in town.
Anyway, you got your question answered. It's a tad confusing since it's theymos but for the purpose of the contest, marked as something else.

On December 2, I have earned a Merit from (Bitcoin Forum) for (Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored). I do not know which is this topic where I have never posted. When I open the Merit giver profile, my own profile is opening and when I open the topic for which the merit is given, there is no such topic. How is this possible? Who gave me that merit? I am confused 
I am attaching the screenshot -
Am I scammed? Please help me, what should I do?
