Funny thing I was summoned in this thread, when I never merited such a user. Not that I should say anything in my defence if it were a different scenario.

My bad

I mentioned you as an example besides The Sceptical Chymist because I saw your name while scrolling down on those huge images that seem to not end and I didn't realize that it was the name of the topic in which merits were sent not the sender:

So, can I have my one free summoning ticket back? Roll Eyes

Nothing out of the ordinary here. It would have been suspicious of the accounts were sending merits to each other, or the beneficiary of the merit thread was sending his smerits to his alts. From what I can see there is no foul play here. I guess it’s been long you visited meta, it’s no secret that The Sceptical Chymist has an open review offer for members with ranks below legendary, and lots of members flood his dm asking for reviews. I believe he gives about 50 merits per user a month.

I see nothing wrong here

Theymos told us something like: if we have too much merits, throw them away.
Mean to sent merits again, or more users to merits. Something to end up with zero merits left

This is the main point.

There's nothing unusual about this. Certain times when members or merit sources notice that one is about to rank up, they try to revisit your past posts to send you merits in a quick succession and give one a small push toward the merit amount required to rank up. It has ever happened to me too before, so this shouldn't be a big deal.

Maybe you have never experienced it before, that's why you think it's unusual behaviour.

I do the same sometimes.

For exemple when I see a person who is just a few merits away to rank up
When I see a person deseves more merits than what he receives.

Just a few seconds between, because we open multiple tabs and send merits in batch. To save a few minutes.
Or use Imacros, for the people lazy, like me... Tongue

I don't know what brought this to my attention, but there are many users here on the forum who got merits unusually. I can bring many examples (like we saw some account farming busted in the past years).

Don't and you could have not mentioned the account farming here at all when we're talking about old users and merit sources, and you obviously know it's not the case, is The Sceptical Chymist or fillippone or our beloved AI growing any kind of accounts here?
They are merit sources, they find a good post by someone, they realize this guy deserves more merit, they go through his history and spend a bunch of merits. Nothing special.

I've not pointed out The Sceptical Chymist specifically for account farming and have definitely not come here to throw any such accusations on anybody, I just watched this on many profiles so I thought to ask.

Btw, is indah rezqi a merit source too?

3.) Regarding the merits, on January 6th, a member imamusma made a post in this topic. This prompted some other members to review his post history and help him in reaching his next rank. There is nothing unusual about this.

My bad, I didn't see that. 🙈

1.) It might be a good idea to reduce the size these images as they seem to be bigger than necessary for the content they display.

2.) In my opinion, it would be more fitting to move this topic to the Reputation section.

Firstly, I'd like to share some images below and then I'll begin.

Profile of the user: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/imamusma-768660

Well, I don't know where to start from or even which place is the best to put this thread into (please move it to the appropriate area if this is not a Meta stuff). Actually, I saw some users giving merits to some posts of this member in a matter of seconds or minutes, with each user doing the same thing but with a good interval in between (in terms of dates). I don't know what brought this to my attention, but there are many users here on the forum who got merits unusually. I can bring many examples (like we saw some account farming busted in the past years).

I have no hard feelings against anybody, be it the merit gainer or the giver. I'm curious to understand what made these people give him so many merits in a row (highest was I think 50 merits spread and given by indah rezqi and The Sceptical Chymist each).
