Mate, did you read the entire post of mine? Or just the first part where I said I am going to update the topic in one or two hours.


Take you time and understand the entire post.

Wait! I know some of them because I see them on this local thread: বাংলাদেশ (Bengali)
I speak the same language and I can tell some of them are not that you are thinking. I am sure some of these people do not know much about English and since we speak a common language - let me take a chance to defend them.

Reserving this spot to update in an hour or two.

A part of my merit sending history:



Full history to access: http://loycevsbasement.privatedns.org/Merit/history/1432468.html
Notice I have merited some of them on the same topic: বাংলাদেশ (Bengali)

Let me give you a background first before coming to the main topic:
In Bangladesh the population is 163 million. Cryptocurrency is not officially allowed. I don't live there but I heard the authority has very strict rules against bitcoin. They have no idea about crypto, they only heard about Bitcoin. In their imagination, Bitcoin is for criminals to transfer illegal money, bitcoin is black money.... Make your wild guess where I am going from here.

Here is a video from a local tv (looks popular and I suppose it is popular) made a program where the reporters were taking interview from the bitcoin users in a way that they are criminal. They blurred the faces so that the authority do not recognize them or perhaps give an impression to the nation that these people have done some crime. These reporters wanted to buy bitcoin from Facebook and the facebook user scammed them. Although It could be a made up story however I am sure if you are going to buy bitcoin from an unknown Facebook user then you are an idiot. So from their view the Bitcoin is a scam since they got scammed by that Facebook user. The entire program was either highly manipulated or the reporters do not have any clue about cryptocurrency and decentralized technology.  

Screenshot of taking interview of an bitcoin enthusiast...

15 minutes 56 seconds on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEOLJHX9o3A

I am sure you are not gonna understand the language but from the body language I guess you will have an idea.

Anyway back to the point. For a population of 163 million, in bitcoin talk the Bangali people have three topics. The other two topics are useless, only the above mentioned topic has some activities. I do not have a stat but my guess is only few people (may be 10 to 12 or around that number) are actually hanging out there. I noticed the board long ago. I saw those topics were flooding with spammy posts like, "how are you", "where is everyone from", "good morning" etc in the Bangali language of course.


I wanted to create a self-moderated topic so that I can help them and moderate the topic to keep it clearn for the community. My goal was on that topic I will put as much information as I can in one place so that these people know the true knowledge about bitcoin and the bitcoinTalk community. But when I saw that the board do not allow to create a new topic then I asked hilariousetc to help me a bit. Anyway it did not work and I am sure hilary is a busy person. Then I decided to clean up the বাংলাদেশ (Bengali) topic and I reported a lot of spammy posts, when I am saying a lot I mean a lot for real. These people did not have any clue that why their posts were getting deleted. I was seeing them complaining that their posts are getting deleted. I did not answer but I was doing my job silently. I do not actively post there coz I never learn to type bangali but I observe the topic regularly to spot spam so that I can keep it clean. I am not saying the entire topic is clean now but if you see the earlier posts and the posts they are making now, thing will be crystal clear on your eyes even if you do not understand the language.

So one topic 10 - 12 people out of 163 millions, do not know much about the forum, do not know much about the bitcoin, they think the forum is for bounty campaign, a job site. What do you expect from them? From these 10 to 12, two or three know a little bit about the forum from my observation and some of them are here on your list I can see. Let me go one by one....

Shishir99: I do not know him (the name sounds a male) so, I can not tell much about him. But looking at his merit history anyone can suspect that he sent 10 + 10 merits to sagor0707. We all know who is jackg and hilariousandco so, here we do not have any doubt. He also received 6 merits from shafi alam and I do not know who is he (name suggest a male) as well. So, let's come to sagor0707.

sagor0707: He received 20 merits from Shishir99 and the merits were on a bounty topic. So for sure we do not know either sagor0707 asked Shishir99 to send him merits or Shishir99 just gave him the merits since we have seen on bounty and ANNs people actually give merits to make the topic creator happy. So the sagor0707 case is not very clear.


Now come to Jannat76: It's a female, I know from the name. Merit received for
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4381960.msg39051063#msg39051063 which seems ok to me
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4424342.msg39542236#msg39542236 from sagor0707. Seems ok to me again. Anyone can merit on that topic. It was on topic reply.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg40717038#msg40717038 merited by marlboroza so we have no question here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4562570.msg41114540#msg41114540 again marlboroza and we do not have question.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724970.msg42726635#msg42726635 SFR10 so we do not have question. we know SFR10
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4742257.msg42990080#msg42990080 we know qwk
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=631891.msg40066015#msg40066015 it's me merited because on a topic where people post how are you and kind of stuffs, for this topic - the reply was good. And I wanted to encourage the user to do more for the topic.
Translation: You have no idea that is why you got banned (talking about a ban account). The problem with us Bangali is that we start doing something without knowing about it. etc....
So, I thought a merit will encourage her to guide these wondering users on the topic so I gave the merit.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4872435.msg43890754#msg43890754 sender HiDevin and I guess it was deserving and nothing wrong on that
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=631891.msg43891989#msg43891989 sender jakirdj95 and I read the topic. It was something about  me LOL they were talking about me that they find encouragement from my achievement on the forum etc etc. The topic was constructive I can assure you.

So for Jannat76 I do not see anything wrong. I can assure you this user is clean.

jakirdj95: Earned two merits so far. One came from sagor0707 and another came from siddu67. I have no idea about siddu67 too so I really don't know if they are connected or not.

Keep one thing in mind, this people see each others on the বাংলাদেশ (Bengali) topic so it's obvious that they can have a partial biased tendency to merit each other. After all it's a community of 10 - 12 people only.

I hope I was able to give you a good insight.

PS: I did not want to post all these on this post since this could bring trouble for me, I am a Bangladeshi citizen so they can harm me if they find out I am involved with bitcoin and I am trying to defend those who are involved with bitcoin. I just hope nothing worn happen with me. I am just doing my job from moral point of view and I do believe in Bangladesh if we want to spread the benefit of Bitcoin then these small groups will help us a lot. So, I wanted to protect them from any confusion and possible harm from the DTs.

I can see there are 2 MTC
1. Docademic: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/docademic
2. Mesh Network: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mtc-mesh-network

Never heard of any though. Which one we are talking about?

Thank you.

I guess it used to be active but now it does not show the memebrs list. The admin disabled it that is why you are seeing this error message. Sorry my bad.

Yes it's the same I guess. The Show Stats page is disabled by the admin. I used to think that once I become a member or full member or higher then I may be able to see some data but seems like it's the same for everyone.

If you know your stuffs then fine mate. I am too scared to hold any other coin than bitcoin. If the value of the bitcoin even goes down to 99% or above still I will hold them. Perhaps I will start buying all even if it needs to sell my kidney  (you know - I will not sell it  )

It happened to me too. I remember, buying ETH when the price was 0.096BTC then the market started to going down and at some point ETH was 0.028BTC LOL. I held it forgetting that I had some ETH. The price jumped up after long time (I guess it took around a year or so) and then finally I sold those ETH with a little profit. The long hold paid off eventually.

I might be wrong to my answer however I will try the answers from the basics I understand.


- Are they actually auto blocks or somebody (I mean the staff) still pushs the button?
- For how long the account should be inactive to be locked (or what curcumstances lead it to be locked)?
a.  I guess it might be an automated process and there must be a default time period. Also looking at the email "acctcomp15", it has something to do with the 2015 hack.



- Are they actually auto blocks or somebody (I mean the staff) still pushs the button?
a.  In this case, the original account owner might locked the account when they learnt that the account got hacked or it could be any mod or staff manually pushed a button after learning the account got hacked



- Are they actually auto blocks or somebody (I mean the staff) still pushs the button?
a.  This one is self explaining. So I have no doubt that this is automated

---

- It looks like some message shows up for someone who appeared to fall into certain list of potentially hacked users (in other words was manually added to some group by mods and thus received the security block) - is that so?
a. Mod could have some special features to make their judgements so they may have a dedicated page to view a report.
- Modlog page often displays the "woke up" lines - are they connected with blocks somehow?
a. "Woke up" might be simply for just logging in after certain amount of time. I guess it works in general.

PM sent.
Denied, the collateral was not good enough to accept.

No, absolutely it's not necessary, I did not thought about THAT though.

I have reported some spammy posts from a topic which was created on last October 30, 2017. I even created a topic yesterday to take care of it by mods if it's possible. Although the topic was created long ago but from last two days the topic started to push up by the spam bots (my guess). I am sure the case for the one I spotted and the one you spotted is not the same.

---

You have already witnessed the result on here:


And it's not that you were not aware of the topic. In fact you had your thoughts on that topic. 

 

That's all we wanted, isn't it? I understand the mods are having more workload than before. To keep the balance may be theymos can consider asking volunteers to help the mods if he does not want to hire more mod/s of course.

I will give you another one in the pipeline  


It's obvious that theymos is far more busy than we actually can think of.

Could not agree more. Thumbs up!

Other suggestion: In addition...
3)

4) From iasenko: Self-moderated thread initiative. More work for us, less for the Mods.
- On this one, we as a community member take the responsibility to keep the forum clean although this method might easily be used to manipulate a topic the way the OP wants.

I never had this privilege to mine a coin. If I was back in 2010/11/12 or even 13/14/15 then I would consider mining Bitcoin. Now a days, it's not profitable unless someone coming with big plan I guess.

What is this DL by the way?

Anyway, to me mining anything else rather than bitcoin is kind of a thing which will never happen. So, yeah! I am not mining anything to add up.

You can never predict a market. I still have few coins/tokens which I considered will spike up soon are now even over 80% down. If you get a good price then just sell them.

That was classic  
Thanks for tagging this cunning innocent actor LOL

Thanks for the understanding and you are always welcome with a valid collateral until we both establish a certain level of understanding. It's not that I really need a collateral but it's a safe option with someone who I never dealt with before. ATM I have some lending of around 0.08 BTC without any collateral and I am not worried about them at all.  All depends on the level of understanding we have for each others. Anyway, here is my service topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4485985.0

120 - 130% is basically very close call as a collateral specially when a token/coin have high volatility. Just make sure you have enough volume which always will have over 115% value of the total amount. Higher percentage is always better and safe. If my negative trust bothers you then feel free to use an escrow.

Blow me! I missed that post, in fact that was just after my post on that topic LOL
Anyway seems like I was 99% wrong 
I will lock the topic in the next 24 hours since it does not have much use now.

You haven't read the whole topic  We are actually talking about including everything like we can for an unlocked topic.

Yes, IT IS a lot of work however someone who has much time like me, don't mind it at all 

Aww! That was quite a compliment. Thanks mate, highly appreciate it.

Again additional 0.01BTC

Ola! Changed the title. Thank you.

Ahh, there you go. Good to know that someone else also using it. Yeah, too much work but worth it.
