They are exchanging merits; no doubt, but why make an entire new thread on it?

Is it some novel thing or a shit post that is getting merited? I believe it is the mutual appreciation of art. Unless you can prove that they are alts; I don't find anything objectionable.

Well, it's not like we intentionally traded merits, or like we talked about it. Anyobsss and I had worked together multiple times before. There are times when the number of people asking for my service gets really overwhelming that I alone can't handle like 5 or more orders placed in a day, so I had to ask for another designer's help and it turned out to be Anyobsss. Now since some of the projects in his service thread technically came from me, I decided why not give him some merits for helping me out. In return I have helped him too since he was paid for doing those signatures. As you can see, I sent him the merits first. He probably saw it and decided to give me the equal amount of merit, probably because he appreciates it, but it's not like I begged him to send merits back to me. Is it prohibited to send back to the person who sent you merits? Would it be automatically considered as merit trading? I would want to know.

P.S. I just noticed you're a fellow designer. Good luck with the service though. Maybe we can work together too someday. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Edit:

Hmm yeah I just noticed it. He could have just left the post on the thread and wait. I'm not really sure about it, but given the title of it, I sure hope it's not about business  :-\

Let them send some merits for their nice designs. let people see their merits, who cares? they are not merit sources. let them have fun. it's not meriting
Garbage posts. it's not like they have traded hundreds of merits this way? because I only see 20-25 merits on each one of their designing threads.
Just don't tag them for this.

I said it in my post above: I had posted it on his list, but i thought it was inactive and i remove it. Although i also saw others make an entire thread for merit abuse, so i thought i could do it, if i'm wrong making this thread, i'll gladly close this thread and post it on the killyou72 thread

Although if it's as you say, there're 2 factors that can be interpreted as merits exchange (at least for me):

  • It was the same amount
  • It was to a thread of service

I think there were other ways to appreciating the help Anyobsss gave you, like the Trust System

P.S. I just noticed you're a fellow designer. Good luck with the service though. Maybe we can work together too someday. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Thanks, i also wish you the best and hope to work with you someday (don't think i'm trying to lighten the situation with this comment)

If i remember correctly, the merits system was made to improve post quality (and things that help the community, i've seen that people give merits to do infographics about the merits system). Yes, they've good designs but there was another way to appreciate the help they were receiven, as i said before, by the Trust System. Are you trying to say that if they aren't merits souces, they can do merits exchanges?

Merit sources are not allowed to sell merits. That is the only rules as far as giving merits is concerned.
If there are blatant examples of misuse of merits (this is not one of them), then default trust members may give out negative trust. Theymos has said that DT members should not be trigger happy and jump to conclusions in these cases.

Looks like that people now come to that point that they started reporting /creating thread for each merit given and looks circling in loop.
With such Merit toxicity in forum , I do not think anybody now want to send and receive Merit from not well known member.
I agree that Merit is abused and people need to be reported but OP this thread just look that people now stopped using common sense.

Depends on the quality of their posts. for example: if you read my latest red tagging, you'll understand. if these signature designers are meriting each other back and forth for some low quality posts, you could tag them. don't wait for DT members. you should tag them yourself.


Title: Re: Signature Designers exchanging merits
Post by: Revenant 02 on May 06, 2018, 03:53:18 PM
Let me be clear once and for all. I am not the type of person who would beg others to send or trade merits with me. It's the same with trust. I won't bother other people, If they really liked my service, they themselves would give me merit or trust, I won't have to ask them. If somebody sends me then I'm thankful for that. If not then it's okay. I don't even care about merits or rank, I don't need it, why would I? I'm offering my own service lol so it's not really a big deal to me. All I care is about my reputation as a signature designer. I want to be known here in this forum (not as a rule breaker) but as great designer, even the best if I could.

Although if it's as you say, there're 2 factors that can be interpreted as merits exchange (at least for me):

  • It was the same amount

Really? Oh God. Don't worry, the next time I send merits to someone I'll warn them not to merit any of my posts, especially if it's the same amount.  :P

  • It was to a thread of service

Well we technically collaborated our services before so it probably makes sense to put it in his service thread, right? No? I guess I should've just picked one of his random posts, man that'll save me all of this time explaining. Yeah I agree, people nowadays stopped using common sense.

I think there were other ways to appreciating the help Anyobsss gave you, like the Trust System

Yeah trust rating is commonly used when you made a trade with another user which involves transaction of money. We basically worked together. Too bad the option for a neutral trust comment didn't cross my mind that time. It will definitely save me a lot of time explaining to you something that you can't seem to understand.

If i remember correctly, the merits system was made to improve post quality (and things that help the community, i've seen that people give merits to do infographics about the merits system). Yes, they've good designs but there was another way to appreciate the help they were receiven, as i said before, by the Trust System. Are you trying to say that if they aren't merits souces, they can do merits exchanges?

As far as I know, you could give merits to posts or threads that you find useful to you or the community. Well, I found his service useful during the time that I needed it the most, and probably to the community as well, so yeah...  ::)

The way I see it, the merit system is flawed. That's a fact. Anyway, whatever. Just don't send back merits at all to those people who sent you if you don't want to be accused of trading merits.

I'm sorry if you find some of my words sarcastic and offensive. That's just how I am when I get upset.

I'm done here. I don't need to explain myself anymore. Let the admins do their job. They will act if they see that something is wrong.

Best regards.

I agree with this, but if it was a quality post i wasn't here reporting it, do not you think?, they only given merits to his services

if these signature designers are meriting each other back and forth for some low quality posts, you could tag them. don't wait for DT members. you should tag them yourself.

Is it not what i'm doing?, in addition, only Revenant 02 has defended himself, the other 2 designers haven't said anything, i think that a DT or mod will appear to give the final decision

I'm done here. I don't need to explain myself anymore. Let the admins do their job. They will act if they see that something is wrong.

You're right, let the admins do their work, i apologize in advance if you thought that this thread was overshadowing your service, i haven't intention of doing it, it was only a suspicion (i think i should have written it in the subject), so i published in meta (Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum).

Is it some novel thing or a shit post that is getting merited? I believe it is the mutual appreciation of art. Unless you can prove that they are alts; I don't find anything objectionable.

because he is a fellow signature designer. it would be preferable for his business if his competition were red-tagged. that's 100% what this thread is about---eliminating his competition. anyone who denies that has their head in the sand.

Well, i have said this before, but i want to say it once again. I have seen so many accusation, and sometimes the accusations are well deserved one and some are not and cost the accused of being a person with a wrong tag and most likely the tag is hard to be removed (but i dont have the data for it).

Because of that, i think we need some kind of rules to accuse people, right? Maybe some like :
1. The accuser must use the original account.
2. The accuser can give proof etc of accusation
3. The accused must be noticed and present their proof to counter the accusation.
4. DT/moderators/admin then decides.
5. If the accused is wrong and proved as an abuser or cheater or scammer, then he will be tagged.
6. If the accusation is wrong, then the accuser will be red tagged.

I dont defend anyone in this thread with this post. But really, this thing bothers me a lot. People sometimes just make a new account and start accusing people just by seeing the merit activity and then boom, people got tagged. For the right accusation, it is perfect, but what if it is a wrong accusation but the accused still got tagged? Just see this thread for example, a sig designer accuse 3 other sig designer. Trying to get rid of competitor?

Just my 2 cents.

Oh my god, you've discovered me, my idea was almost perfect until you showed up ..., Revenant 02 and the others have their own style to make signatures, if customers like their style they'll hire him, we're not selling the same house

I think i understand what you mean, i'll create another account and i'll report them, because if i use my original account they'll think that i am getting rid of the competition...

Post by: Cobalt9317 on May 06, 2018, 07:38:13 PM
I must admit Revenant02 is really good at sig designing I even send him a neutral feedback when he was still Jr. Member or Newbie.
Fortunately enough I didn't get involve in any reciprocating of sMerit by a fellow signature designer before closing my service in sig design.

An arguments to expelled a competitor in the said service is nothing because designing solely depend on the designer and I've been thinking lately of giving up sig designing in this forum and only participate on a contest cause I'm very busy learning python in a really intensely laborious level Mr. ease want to order a signature for hero member to me and I refer him to Zwei the new signature designer around in this case I reckon signature designing service of Cobalt9317 will be unavailable forever.

P.S Henceforth my signature design would only be seen on occasional basis good luck to all my fellow sig designer this is Cobalt9317 signing out...

i dont know, if this reporting of every single merit abuse is really the way the forum wants to be... People realy have limited choices to earn merit, so they are searching for other possibilities.

And one more thing, i realy dont understand: Bitcointalk Account buying is allowed but exchanging merit not? That doesnt make sense to me..

Merit is the new system in which oneself could be known for his/her well being in this community (e:i nullius is a well known character for the community he was involved in deep discussion of knowledge regarding bitcoin generally no one could compare himself/herself to nullius.)

Buying an account is allowed but not recommended as you can also receive a red tag for buying an account similarly trading merit is also a dishonest role you can play within this community.

The bottomline buying an account is allowed as long as you are capable of ranking it up in spite of having a great sense of judgement before you receive a merit (i:e buying a pirated music album is easy you can just download the album however it is hard to sell it like an original copyright as used good.

If the trade has been done with DT. They are sharing the green trust to the other end person. It is most reputed thing than exchaging merits right mate. Why you do not go to report about trusting the people each other.

However you done the good catch on this mate. You may get the merits for this. LOL...

Why would you wait for others to decide? be a real man and have your own mind. do not allow others to tell you how to think. act according to
The rules, if you don't like the rules, try to suggest something better. watching this to see what happens is not the kind of reaction we expect
From you. if you are not able to assess this situation, nobody would ever ask for your opinion on anything else. nobody would ever value your
Opinion.

It was implied that they wanted me to give them merit, but nothing more than that. Nothing that would warrant me leaving them negative trust as of right now at least. That is why I'm waiting to see what others will say/ what will happen. If you think that is bad and that my opinion will never be valued because I'm not being a "real man" then so be it.

Yeah well I don't know you, and we haven't talked before so it's definitely not me. Just drop the name already.  ::)

Nice find. They could have been a bit more subtle at least!
Oh, nice find indeed. Or maybe he's just too interested with his fellow designers. Hmm that's a bit unusual. It makes me wonder why we are the only ones he noticed, even made a specific thread for it, but not guys like the ones below.  :-\

And for the record, this is what merit abuse is.

Anyways, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's not about business after all. He won't get more customers by dragging others down anyway. Maybe the green trust guy just cares so much for this forum that he can't stand seeing such things. LOL. He's been so active with this kind of stuff since he got that greeny thingy.

Spread the love.

This thread gets more and more interesting. Even the guy who gave him the positive trust is now here lol. Got bored in the collectibles section? :P

I know I already said I'm outta here, but I just can't stand it.

FYI I'm DT2 and I spend time not only in the Collectibles section even though that is the one I enjoy the most. Is my point less valid because I gave Zpectrum positive trust for a job he made for me? Is my point less valid because I spend a lot of time in the collectibles section? Please.. Get out of here.

EDIT1; The guy you referenced as a merit abuser has already been tagged by Vod. Is it not enough?

No sir. Not at all.

Edit:

But I'm still curious as to whom this might be.  ???

EDIT1; The guy you referenced as a merit abuser has already been tagged by Vod. Is it not enough?
Yes that's great. Just citing an example as to what "abuse" pretains to.
Edit: I didn't mean exactly that guy anyway, I meant guys like him. Please do read.

Please.. Get out of here.
It's not like I want to be here either lol. I just want my name to be cleared. Guess I'll just follow your advice.

Hello, Revenant just notified me about this accusation so i'm here to say my part.

Edit: I had posted it on his list, but i thought it was inactive and i remove it

As you can see both hkdfgkdf and Revenant sent me merit first and then i sent back the same amount of merit to them. I think
the problem comes from me because i send back the same amount of merit to them which i shouldn't have done. I didn't think it through that we could be tagged for misusing the merit system. I just genuinely think that their service threads are helpful, not only for me but also for the community so i send back the same amount of merit. is it really wrong to send back merit?

Without naming names I can confirm that one user of the three were extremely pushy towards me giving them merit for.. nothing really.

we've already talked in discord once, Mr. Hhampuz and i just checked our conversation so I'm certain that i didn't beg for a merit and it is not me you were referring to.

EDIT1:
Mr. Zpectrum could have just made the title " MERIT ABUSER " , You don't really have to tell that we're Signature designers. I just noticed it. well, it is your choice.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here looking to tag anyone or put you down. However you should probably be more careful about your actions when it does come to merits. I don't mind and that is the main reason I said (before revenant wanted to start a fight) that I'd just look at what happens. If this is only about the OP and what is said there I won't take action.

Great, we're thankful for that. Just to be clear, I would never want to start a fight with anyone in this forum, but the way I express my point of view can be rude based on how I feel. Of course I wanted to make sure that there's no biased decisions or whatever going on between the two of you since you have worked together before. Now if you feel offended for that then please pardon me.

And as for this one

The other guy should say his part now and put an end to all of this already.

YO! I've heard this news.
Sadly that some people misinterpret the fact that we just gave each others merits for appreciation. And we didn't wasted our merits in a bad way as if it's a shit or low quality post. Visit our respected service thread and you'll find quality designs with good feedback worth to merit for. Look, Sir Revenant (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2234939) and Sir Anyobsss (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2195884) are one of the earliest signature designers I found. It inspired me to have my own service by looking some designs/ideas in their threads. And I think Sir Anyobsss (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2195884) just give back the merits to express his gratitude.

Signature Designers exchanging merits (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3574558.20)? So what! Lol. We're exchanging merits in a good way for art, passion and service.

And I didn't expect that someone will bring up such kind of topic specially coming from a fellow designer.

And YO! Sir. We haven't met or contacted yet. I don't even know you so basically it's not me. And look, Sir Revenant (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2234939) and Sir Anyobsss (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2195884) said that it was also not them. Sorry, but I think it's just someone and not us.

And also majority from the replies coming from this thread agree that this is not a kind of abuse or whatsoever.



Yo! Sir Zpectrum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2363907) and Sir Hhampuz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=881377), we don't intend to take this far and end up badly. We just want to clear things up.

I hope this nothing personal and would not affect our works.

Best of luck to all of us. Hope we could work  together in the future.

Thanks! Peace Yo!

I personally don't see any kind of abuse in this one, the alleged exchange of merits only come to their Service threads (except from the one Revenant 02 received from hkdfgkdf which I also see is meritable) all of which are of high quality which I do think is meritable, and as far as I know the "+merit" button is made available in the service section which tells us that it is not prohibited to give merits in that section.

As far the exchange goes I only see:
  • Anyobsss sending and receving on both
  • hkdfgkdf sending on both but only receiving merits from Anyobsss
  • Revenant 02 sending only to Anyobsss but receiving merits from both

It is pretty clear to see that not all of them have received and sent merits directly to one another which shows us that they have no intention on trading merits to each other, and all of the post that have received merits are meritable the way I see it. All of which only received merits from one of their post each, you won't see them exchanging merits from several posts they have created.

I thanks the community for seeing the case and giving their point of view, based on their comments and the reasons i've read of Anyobsss, Revenant 02 and hkdfgkdf i've concluded that it wasn't an abuse of merit

Anyobsss, Revenant 02 and hkdfgkdf, i regret any inconvenience that i may have caused with this thread and i apologize for having misinterpreted you

I willn't blame you if you wish to leave me a negative trust for this thread, i'm aware that i caused an inconvenience due to my misunderstanding

And for those who still think i did it to ''get rid of the competition'', think what you want, as i said before, Anyobsss, Revenant 02 and hkdfgkdf have their own style to make signatures, if customers like their style they'll hire him, we aren't selling the same house
