No, it did not fail

I didn't say it failed in general, but in these certain cases (after all, no sytem is 100% foolproof).

Thing is, I think we gonna see more of that as number of shared merit in the recent months has been similar to 2018/2019 while number of posts and active users dropped significantly meaning less competition for merit so even shitposters can rank up.

Well, I wanted to stay silent, but I guess I should share what I know.
I have been trying to stand against the abusers. I know a couple of them. But I do not have any proof. Previously, I have warned them twice here and here. After writing these posts, the activity in the Bengali thread was frozen, and they stopped posting in our local thread. Later, I talked to some of them, and they promised me that they won't abuse anymore. They have been exchanging merits between them to rank up fast. I suspect a guy who might have more than five accounts, and he has been doing this abuse since the beginning. But since I do not have any proof, I will not mention their name.

i would also like add @Nalain420 to the list of suspects, as he was also caught doing the same.

If him and N.O are not controlled by the same person, then there's no alt account on the forum. Exactly the same posting style, and in the same topics.

I guess in their case merit system failed, as it didn't manage to prevent shitposters from climbing up the ladder. 

i agree, 100% they are alts. i mean besides the fact that they both farmed merits in the arabic section with translated content, they both also went silent when got caught.
and what are the odds that they post a lot about cricket? i don't want to generalize here, but trust me when i say almost no one follows cricket in the arab world. we are all big football heads.

@Nalain420 shamelessly tried to argue that we are all wrong, didn't even reply in arabic but in english. yeah, sure buddy... arabic is your language.
imagine how dumb you must be to say arabic is your language, while replying in english. lol

Hello all my brothers!

Hope you are all brothers doing well and everything good in your life

First of all, I want to warm sorry to all of you brother for late reply. I have been personally quite busy in my real life. I received all notifications from you but due to busy I could not replied. Also I was not planning to be active on forum today either but I thought it would not be right to make you all wait any longer. A delay reply does not means that I did something wrong it is just that personal issues prevented me from replying sooner.

As I mentioned in my previous comment Arabic is my language. All of you are questioning how I have created posts and translations in community you all said that I used some Ai tools or other automatic translation tools. But that is completely wrong. I created all translations and posts in Arabic localboard myself. Since Arabic is obviously my first language why would I need any tools to use my own language? If you feel that my posts or translations seem like they were created using any ai tools other it is probably because my typing mixes English and Arabic both these languages which makes it seem that way. But as I said in my previous posts, this is reason behind that impression. I did all posts and translations by understanding them myself and then posting in community. I never claimed that I put in a lot of effort for merit nor did I ever say that I deserved merit for my posts and translations That is also completely false. My only goal is to contribute to knowledge in community so that new members who join in Arabic community can benefit from my posts and remain active in forum.

Thank you all my brothers.

they both also went silent when got caught.

That's actually the best thing they could do, because in majority of similar cases, they get in more trouble while trying to argue.

He probably copied the original text instead of the one translated by AI and then pasted in that thread. It also confirms what I said above, that its better for them to stay silent.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that cryptoWODL is posting in a thread in the speculation section which is clearly off topic there.

@Dirtykeyboard I already submitted my 9 day push-up record yesterday. Total number of push ups in 9 days is 1160,

Thread where people report doing hundreds of push ups, and where this guy has joined the challenge 9 days ago and is supposedly doing an average of 130 push ups a day. If this thread were where it belongs, which is off topic, there wouldn't be even 10% of people posting in it.

I was just about to post this message and thought I'd check to see if any of the other three related accounts are also posting in this thread, and I find that AirtelBuzz has supposedly done 10 sessions of 100 push-ups.

What a joke.

and what are the odds that they post a lot about cricket? i don't want to generalize here, but trust me when i say almost no one follows cricket in the arab world. we are all big football heads.

You are saying that all Arab people are only interested to watch football and based on this, you are saying that  I am not Arabic. However, I have doubts about your claim because you seem unaware of Arab cricket teams. In Arab world, there are many cricket teams like Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. If we (arab people) are unaware of these teams, then who else would know about them? Every person has their own interests, some may be more interested in football sport and some may be intereted in cricket like me and some others in different sports.  

Considering your point, I want to say that  in some countries where cricket is not priority but people from these countries take part discussions on cricket threads. Does its mean that they are spamming too? We cannot question anyone’s interest in a particular sport.

I have no desire to post  on Arabic board in English language. The only reason I made that English post for respectable moderator  who asked me a question in English. To respect, I replied in English. You are judging me as i am not Arabic based on just one English post. I have been a member of this forum for 1.5 years and i did more than 200 posts in Arabic board. Yet, based on one English post made for a honourable moderator, you are saying that I am not Arabic. This is all meaningless talk and there is no point in discussing it here.

if you can read, you would see that i was generalizing here, i didn't say all arab, but most do not follows cricket, and that's a fact. cricket is a very small sport in the arabic word. but we are not here to talk about that.
but yeah, keep focusing on that instead of answering questions from other arabic members, instead of tucking your tail for months now: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=5510141.0
you even got kicked out from the alliance of bitcointalk translators because "your translations don't look natural or made by a native speaker"

tell me what are the odds that you Nalain420 and N.O, both follow cricket, post in the same style, claim to be arab but only used arabic translated topics to farm merits on that section, and both went silent when got caught?
and please stop saying you are arab, you are not. you can't even speak arabic ffs.

feel free to dispute my accusations if you can.

that's some bullshit, he asked the question in english because he knew you can't speak arabic you dummy.
why would you reply in english to a person who can speak arabic, if you can also speak arabic? make it make sense.
