He's referring to The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days:

Update:
1. Newbie hashuna (Trust: +0 / =0 / -0) earned 50 Merit in 30 days (BPIP)

This is Merit abuse, but it's also allowed. An old shitposter woke up to send his airdropped sMerit to a new shitposter with a shitcoin ANN. This topic already gives him more attention than his shitcoin is worth.

I didn't find his personal wallet, he was a campaign manager and distributed the campaign rewards, but there's a chance if it's a custodial wallet or a multi-sig wallet. I also didn't find his personal social medias, can't really say too much about this case.

Since I don't see anything that lead to scam, I'd leave it until I see something suspicious.

This is indeed merit abuse but this doesn’t mean that the account who received it will benefit on it in the future. There’s no way that account can join on signature campaign or can be trusted on loans once he/she apply.

The @OP meant the sender i.e. Icefrag, he's eligible to participate a signature campaign since he's a Hero rank user.

I do not think that @Icefrag is a merit source (can’t generate more merits.)
A project cannot be trusted because of merits, as it is a measure of the quality of posts and not trust. Since that account is promoting a POW coin, more merits will not help them. If you can prove that both accounts are linked or part of a farm of accounts, the best you will get is neutral trust.

I appreciate your trying to help, but you need to prove that merits are being misused or a merit source who is misusing them.
Overall I will give you +2 merits for your effort.

I am recharging and learning everything as new. Looking at LoyceV list of Earn Merit posts, I saw this. I don't see any reason why he gave so many merits from a random inactive account. That's why I made this post.

It is not clear what you are saying in that sentence but it seems clear to me that these are too many merits for such a simple post. If it had been one, it would be acceptable, but even theymos is not very keen on punishing these cases. Without more details for me it doesn't even deserve a neutral tag, which would be the maximum to consider. I don't really care about altcoins but probably the one who gives it the 50 merits is someone related to the project or could even be an alt account. I'm sure other folks will look into it.

My question is, how do I give 50 merit in this simple post? Merit is given to those who post good quality standards, but it is seen that merit is being misused. Merits are being offered to random posts that need to be noted. They are trying to grow new accounts using multiple accounts.

This is indeed merit abuse but this doesn’t mean that the account who received it will benefit on it in the future. There’s no way that account can join on signature campaign or can be trusted on loans once he/she apply. Merit is not regulated so there’s nothing much to do here rather than tag him as reference for this questionable merit transfer.

Don’t worry about this accounts because they can easily be spotted and can’t be used for financial gain here in the forum. Nice spotting this irregularity merit transfer.

I saw LoyceV bro post this from Merit earn from there. I gave an ID check, and from there, I saw how Merit got 50. I saw that a low-quality post was given 50 merit points. The account that gave the merit last posted on August 6, 2018, at 01:25:54 PM, then did not post again and became active on January 25, 2024, at 12:14:41 AM. The account post looks like it's a purchased account. The account has changed hands.
