Topic: Some of these unregulated merit transactions are being observed (Read 353 times)

You need to ask forum special secret service for that information. 
There is no such thing as ''unregulated'' merit transaction, and we are not turning into evil government yet.
I didn't receive my special license from theymos for sending merits, and that means I could end up in gulag also...

I wouldn't have given it.

I appreciate your effort OP. But after looking at merited post and complete merit history of the sender, IMO proof you've shared is rather weak.

• OGNasty sometimes send lots of merit to old posts/threads.
• Rating Place usually send merit to post/thread about trouble with casino.
• I expect GameKyuubi probably just send 40 merit to post which celebrate 10 years of Bytestamp protocol.

And you also can use https://bpip.org to get complete (rather than last 120 days) send/received merit history.

thanks, I just sent 50 Merits to GameKyuubi.

Even if we assume that those accounts are alt, one of them must be a merit source or abuse with dozens of merits to help alt account join signature campaigns or rank-up.

You are wasting your time in the wrong place, OP. Yes, very often there are questions about the distribution of merits among alt accounts. But even such behavior, if there are no other serious violations, is considered "through the fingers." You have probably seen similar cases when topics about sending merits were raised. However, do not rush to conclusions. If you see the following action of the recipients, that is, for what purpose numerous merits were allocated, in these cases suspicions and questions may arise. For example, the account immediately applies for participation in the company signature, or in the same way gives away merits to its alts.
However, do not worry about the merits running out. There are plenty of them, and you can do more useful things so that these merits flow like a river into your account.

Merit aren't regulated, so it doesn't break the forum rules.

Since I'm someone who judge something based on the impact, let's see these users merit history.
1. BitCointransfers's merit history
2. sampei7777's merit history
3. Petermario's merit history
4. VashaUdacha777's merit history

Check all of them, they didn't send any merit, it means they didn't sell their merits or help their own alts. Are their accounts got hacked? I don't think so.

I would say, local users who exchange merit with their own circle is more likely cause a problem rather than giving big amount of merit to not active users.

 - There's no way OP isn't an alt account / part of an account farm
 - They are obsessed with merits, unironically making this thread for that purpose
 - GameKyuubi is a goddamn legend and can do whatever he wants

Your observations is quite right, because I have peruse to the merit beneficiary profile or recipient of merit,  and it's obvious that such post did not worth such amount of merit, currently merit us hard to earn whereas someone received ten merit at same time, its ridiculous, the response of the one that received forty [40] merit did not what such, I know quite well that when making a positive emphasises on this issue op initiated I know that people will kick against it, which is not right, if you love a response of someone a two or four line stanza, it should be given such amount of merit at a spot.

Yes, I was talking about giving merit. I'm a new member and I didn't know about this so I came across it and posted this because I wanted to know. If my post is unnecessary then I will lock it

What regulation? There is no merit regulation in the forum. Giving merits is also subjective, as "quality post" can mean something different to each user. If it is not an abuse of merit, that is selling merit or giving it to your alt, then don't bother starting a thread about it, and maybe if the discussion was about a merit source trading their source merits, then it would be worth looking into, but it is not.

I have answered your question on my previous post. Merit system is not perfect but good as it is making people to have better posting quality.

Your mean he should lock this thread? No need to lock the thread. Let us see the opinion of other reputed members. Even theymos might decide to post, but I guess not. Not a bad thread at all.

How do you know that those comments were low in that year. Op first of all when the merit system was introduced. Do you know that this your thread is also a shot in this generation? So time differs. Now that comment nor post you called as shit post received the merits base on the respond given to the previous comment or post. You have to know that there are two main thing to do in the forum. To learn and to contribute. And if some "yes" answered a question and the person has some smerits like 40 and he is very happy for the answer, he can give the person the 40 merits. But you have to know that their is a limit in the month which is 50 merit from a merit source to per person or user. And that first 20 merits you brought at was the time meriting system just came out and I believed merits was flowing.

What you think is a shit post might not with another person. And if I were you it is better to lock this thread.

Nope, it doesn't goes against the rules and the regulation of the forum.......... until they try to do the account farming by giving to merit each others.

And as per observation, I haven't see anything suspicious to all of them till now...... But you can can trace them may you can able to see something suspicious  in future

I want to understand why so much merit is given even in low posts. Doesn't it fall outside of a regulation? That's why I made this post asking to know.

If I'm on the wrong track, feel free to correct me. But you probably understand why I made the post. It's actually pretty eye catching so I'm bringing it up. For your opinion on this matter. In fact, I have raised the issue because they are doing the right thing or wrong thing.

He has done this before with an alt he used to collateral scam.  It's worth watching this account to see if it also exclusively does escrow deals for OGNasty.

Regulations? Lol!
There are some "rules" about not giving yourself merit though alts, merit farming, that's it, and I don't think I've seen anyone punished for such a thing lately. 

Anyhow, you're looking at the wrong suspects, true merit farming happens with small transactions between dozens of accounts, mainly in local boards and huge mega threads, if you're telling me GameKyubi is selling merit to an alt account both over a decade old and that have never carried a sig, you're on the wrong path here.

First merit is not a transaction, according to the motive behind the establishment and giving of merits, only the smerits holders have the right to give merits to whichever post the find it fit to receive such merits.

So there is no point in demanding for why the single post gained such amount of merits, it's his property and he gives it to whatever post seems quality enough or that appise to his standard of what a quality post should be.

What do you mean as unregulated merits? Merit system is in kind of way not regulated in relation to what you are Insinuating. There have been some unfair ways that merit are sent to some users. Know that merit system is not perfect but it helps in a way more people prefer to engage in more thoughtful discussions.

I have come across some irregular merit transactions, which I'm trying to present to you. I don't know why they did this, and I wanted to know, so I opened the topic and posted to find out. I'm fairly familiar with merit transactions, but I was not familiar with such unregulated merit transactions.

OgNasty sent merit by BitCointransfers


Here, I can see that a simple post came and gave establishment merit. Do you think this is a post worthy of 25 merits? How can he send 25 merits on such a low-quality post? You will see that this post was made on June 06, 2011, 01:17:22 PM. If the post were worthy, it would have merit long ago, but how can a post like this get merit after 13 years?  Even low-quality posts merit so much.

BitCointransfers: This account is no longer in use. He last posted in 2013:05:July and was last active in 2013:03:September. What is the meaning of sending merit to such an account?  I think the merits generated due to the merit sent here are lost. I think they are being abused on merit.

GameKyubi merit sent by sampei777



Here, it is seen that 40 merits were sent in one post. It is not a post where he will get 40 merits. It is not an eligible post to get 40 merit, but 40 merit is sent here. So, it is not the abuse of merit? The person who sent merits has not posted after 2020 and was not active, but suddenly came and sent 40 merits.

Rating Place merit sent by Petermario



He sent 10 merits on such a low-quality post. Did he actually send merits after understanding it or misusing the merits? I see merit sent from a rank-only account. How could so many merits be sent from such a good account? I see Merit being misused here as well.

Rating Place merit sent by VashaUdacha777



I also see here that he sent 10 to the locality post. No one ever says anything about why they abuse merit this way. There are rules and regulations for merit transactions, but they aren't followed.

I did not post to report anyone or look bad for anyone. I want to know if Merit transactions are being done like this or if Merit is being misused. As a new member of the forum and learning from what I know, I see it as an abuse of merit. Share your opinion on what you think.

I don't know how many more merits are misused; no one pays attention to them. I will try to check LoyceV every 30 days of Merit Transactions every month as soon as I post them. I will also make a graph about the abuse of merit. Keep an eye on these; otherwise, it will be seen that abuse of merit is increasing in the forum.
