Please lock this topic as it makes no sense. A plagiarized whitepaper deserves negative feedback, it has nothing to do with a "merit collecting scheme".
Did you checked the Whitepaper yourself? Or are you following what you read?
1 - avirunes has no need to "collect" merit because he is already a legendary member.
I will also repeat what I said in your other thread, at least the important part:
If there appears to be a credible accusation against someone, it is not inappropriate to leave a provisional rating against the person while they wait for additional information to come out.
If you present evidence to show your innocence, OR the accuser (or anyone else) cannot provide sufficient evidence to show that you are a scammer or that you tried to scam someone (or will likely do so in the future) then the ratings can be removed.
The reason for this is so that others will be warned about dealing with a potential scammer.
The purpose of the trust system is to give an assessment of a potential trading partner's ability to trust someone.
It is not uncommon for a scammer to be trying to scam multiple people at a time, and a quick negative rating may prevent additional people from getting scammed after the 1st accusation surfaces if they have not sent the scammer money or property yet, or it will at least cause them to ask questions and take additional precautions to protect themselves.

If you want to compare the trust system to the legal system, then I would tell you that if there is probable cause that anyone committed a crime, the police can arrest them, and can hold them in jail for a period of time without charging them. The standard of probable cause is very low, but has not been defined by the US Supreme Court to my knowledge. In many jurisdictions, if there is a 51% chance that a crime was committed, the standard of probable cause will have been exceeded.
It is absurd to say there should be a delay from the time when you (allegedly) scam someone until when you should get tahhed.
Ok so in short, you mean to say that forget if the person is "CORRECT" or "WRONG", just open the thread and everyone on the forum should leave "FEEDBACK" right away.
Then how about having a "SYSTEM" where the person who "FAILS" to proof his claims right should also be "PUNISHED" with negative feedback for accusing someone falsely? What do you think about that?
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I have just left you a negative rating.
You are most welcome. You indeed proved how much "VALUE" is of the current feedback system.
We copied "Blockchain" technology explanation from sites like Coindesk, which is a crime as per some people here.
More importantly, it is also a crime as per international copyright law, and if that means so little to you, what other laws are you willing to break? In any case, your childish response to being called out says more about your professionalism or lack thereof than your initial offence. Thanks for playing, enjoy your prize.
Lol, okay. So taking reference is a "CRIME". The only fault we "accepted" from the moment was that we did "NOT" had the reference, which was OBVIOUS error from our side. But I guess even IF the reference was given, some people still would find something to ride through.
Thank you for rewards
