I don't think that should be an issue since is a local board and I understand they have a common language and for that there's nothing wrong. A local board is more or less of a family via in a single community.
To you it may seems not to be quality but to the community they values it.

Even in the English board. Nobody values every post you seems to be quality post. Given merit is basically for personal likeness. And what you seems as quality post will not be known for me as quality post. Local board given merit to their locale family. It is like helping each other to grow. And besides since not everyone understand the knowledge or what knowledge they are sharing to each other it seems that the merited post there is quality.

As far as I remember, This thread was locked after a few people share their opinion about this matter. But, recently a Member Named NoorulHuda was banned and you posted here it saying New development. Well, Finding something unethical is good. But, I don't think your intention is 100% legit. I also noticed that you are too much happy about the Ban of User NoorulHuda. May I know what is the reason for your happiness?

This is not how bitcointalk works.

Check the rules before making any statement

Just by looking at these accounts i think there is serious merit abuse between these members in the local board
If you will notice they are mostly involved in merting each other. They could be a single person or a family.

OP, can you tell me if you are satisfied enough with some of the different user responses to your accusations? If you are satisfied then I suggest you close this topic, while if you have some other evidence that might support your suspicions, please let us know about it.

I felt so because there were back and forth merit transfers. Since i do not have other proofs, i will lock this thread. I dont want to ruin anyone's reputation unnecessary. Sorry if anyone got hurt. I just expressed my feelings as i thought something was not right. Sorry again.

Right. I know about that. But, You should not give negative feedback to anyone for abusing merit since it's not a forum rule.

I just think that you're only ruining the reputation of other users for accusations that aren't proven to be true, but there's nothing wrong with suspecting something for absolutely credible and very strong reasons.

I don't think so. I have done that in my newbie days and I learned some lessons from there. You should not give anyone negative feedback if someone abuses merit.

Quote from: theymos on October 21, 2018, 09:28:55 AM

If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.

He was talking to a DT about Merit abuse.

Check out the whole merit history then you will know about it.
Just blaming here is not going to work checkout my all posts which i got merit and which i merited are Worth merited or not.

Please dont make blames Working hard to share information and if the information is 100% accurate then you can't say it.

I think OP is just building assumptions without proof.
I've felt this too. just of the merit transaction history, there will be a lot of linked accounts.
hopefully, OP has better evidence to back up the allegations he puts on the account. otherwise, lock this thread.

This is not how you link accounts, otherwise as all the bitcointalk accounts could be linked as everyone gives merits to each other. For your knowledge, there is no restriction in giving merits to the same account multiple times. Your evidence are insufficient to prove anything here other than creating a drama out of nowhere.

I sympathize with you for coming to our local board and posting well We will give you merit too but the condition is that your post is good.
I have nothing to say. I think you have been told by the senior members that this is not happening Everyone in our local board is working hard and getting rewarded for their good post.

Merit exchange between accounts does not mean that they are alts and therefore are abusing merits. You may want to dig deeper to prove that the accounts are connected, such as posting style and gaps, shared Bitcoin addresses etc.

Tagging of merit abuse related cases is also so rare, DT members are mostly focused on bounty abuse and scam.

There are no strict rules about merit abuse on the forum, except it involves merit sources; The idea is if it is related to a regular user then it isn't much of a big deal as they would eventually run out of smerits to circulate between their alt accounts.

You could move this post to reputation, but there would b no official action taken as suspected merit abuse is no moderated.

*Edit: post already moved.

Although, I am not saying merit is abused or not, but I just stand on the point that if any abuse is noticed, it can be reported in a new thread on reputation board.

Take a picture of this user very well, there's nothing like merit abuse there, i have scrutinized the account and nothing can be find, i think your point over this particular account is invalid, if you want to create accusations to people make sure you have nice evidence to testify as for this point of this particular user, did not commit any mismanagement of merit, the user earned almost his merit through hard working, this is my opinion after cross checking the account

Seeing someone like that, nothing bad to bring it up here for discussion to know if other members will accept it true or not.

Scam Accusations or attempted scam should be on the Scam Accusations board and charges involving user reputation then that topic should be on the reputation board and I believe allegations of abuse of service should be there because it concerns reputation.

OP, actually I was just wondering how you are brave enough to say they are the same person just by looking at the history of the merit. The merit system doesn't prohibit you from spending it on the same user more than once, but you can only post 50 merit a month for the same user. So what are you worried about here?

First, there isn't any known rule or law guiding how merit should be used or sent around the forum, there isn't any rule forbidding or stating that two or more parties can not merit themselves if their posts are worthy of it, so personally, I see nothing wrong as long as their post are worthy of the merit(s) they received.

But if merit is abused, it should be posted about on reputation board so others can see it too. This forum does not against sending merit to any pos, but if merit is abused, there is nothing bad to give such accounts that abused merit to be given red trust. Seeing someone like that, nothing bad to bring it up here for discussion to know if other members will accept it true or not.

And secondly, I support what _blackStar said, this post does not belong here, it should be in the reputation board, so I suggest you try and move it before a moderator does.
