I can not ignore the advices from all these good fellas: jackg, TheUltraElite, Patatas
Thanks guys for stepping in.

@BenCodie, I will pass this lending. Sorry.

If you break forum rules then you should get warned (red tag) it does not matter if you have 1000 merits or you are a legendary member or even admin. Rules are rules. However, a defaulter should have enough rights to explain his reasons. If the reasons are not satisfactory then don't remove the red.

If someone do an on forum bad act (breaking rules) which is confirmed, then tag them but it's too much when you tag someone because you think this could lead to that. The experience you have had and the experience others have are not same besides just because you are a DT does not mean that you are a mind reader.

A confirmed rule breaker should defiantly get red tag, does not matter if he has 1000 merits and even a Legend. And in it I do not see any spoiling on the forum fame.

As long as you have trust on the DTs judgement, I think red trust should work. Question is/are...

Do we really blindly trust the DTs red trusts?
Have they positioned themselves much higher that no one will questions their red trust? Not from the fear but from the basic moral.
Do they take enough time before leaving a red trust? A wrong red trust left by them can harm the user in many ways.
Do they give the other person enough time to explain? People have reasons for the acts they do. They have the rights to explain.
If they make mistake on leaving a red trust do they consider a review standing from a neutral point and compromise their ego?


There could be so many parameters to judge the DTs red trust and if you are satisfied and confident with the red trusts they leave then only a red trust should work.

It seems, now a days you can dream for a million dollar business without having a penny in your pocket. I wonder these guys have any fund at all. They are looking forward to the ICO to boost their cryptocurrency wallet. Some of the replies on the texts are really unprofessional.


If they can not handle these sorts of simple low loaded issues then how could they handle huge customer query and other task loads when they will actually manage to run an exchange.

It's their problem, not yours. A professional team will not give these excuses.

I smell doubt.

I do not agree with you. We do things in past which has our emotions attached. An account holders might have his emotions for an account.

# I use 16+ character on my password combined with possibly everything
# Only me use my PC when I am away my windows is locked
# My connection is fairly secure
# I am well aware of phishing links and stuffs
# I keep my computer clean always.
# The associate email account also have 16+ character password.
# The email account is encrypted with fairly security.
# The email account hosted on the server is also has 16+ character password
# The server has 2FA active
# The server has bought from a highly reputed hosting service provider who are domination the hosting industry.
# All these 16+ character passwords are very different from each others.
# I save my passwords with PGP encryption.

But all these can not guarantee me that any accident will not happen. Anything can happen which you are not aware of and your account can get hacked. Would you blame yourself for it and will wait months long if not years to recover it?

The idea seems nice however how would you do this merge things? There will be data loses and this could create a mess which could be bigger than account recovery. In the merging process we will see alter in merit system and trust system which is also against the forum rule. Remember merit and trust are not moderated.

What did you mean by first 3?

You are talking about altering Merit and sMerit which we know is not on the rules. Activities can be done but this can create a mess on data arrangement, quoting etc.

Awesome, verified!

Do you want me to send the BTC to this same address?

Update: I have this thought in mind. I will need your account as collateral to ensure that you will repay in time. I have lost too much money just for being nice. Here you can see some of the defaulted loans so far:
SCAM ALERT!!! Lost 0.08 BTC [Please stay safe]
Re: Need Small Loan - 0.002BTC >> Repaying Tomorrow

No, I do not have anymore information than this. Perhaps we can ask KWH about it.

Personally I am waiting for this feature to be implemented. I feel myself insecure for my account. The stuffs are happening with account recovery should need to be improved. We can not just blame the users for getting their accounts hacked. Any account could get compromised no matter how hard is your security system.

It could a bot or someone turned his notify button on for the section and once they get notification of a new post then they go an post that custom text LOL.


Fantastic. I will lock the topic once I hear a response from a mod. Please (mod) let me know once the job done.

Same message repeating on all the topics. archive

The users post history is 8 pages long so far and most of the posts (except 1 or 2) are the same copy paste. My observation is, whenever he see any new topic on the Announcements (Altcoins), he goes and pitch this custom annoying text. The user has so far 158 posts and a Jr already. My question is can he be ban? To me it seems like spamming and he is doing it a lot.

I already reported some of his posts with the following comment:

I don't think it worth reporting all of his posts, it's better to ban him so that he can not spam the forum anymore like the way he is doing now.

It's related to posts, reporting, PM etc. What I figured is, it's for every input that comes from a user. In that case it is also valid when you want to send merits to others, give trusts etc.

PS: I will lock the topic after 24 hours from now since I already have my answers here. May be some of you would be interested to whiteliste your accounts 

Thanks a lot for the whitelisting, I will give you feedback if I get caught again. Also thanks for deleting that topic. I was freaking out while reporting those posts LOL

Update:
The cooling period is now 4secs. This is more than enough to move one tab to another.


Thanks again! 

I am vouching the same for this user. He possibly traded those merits.

You can make a post on that topic to get the attention of the bounty manager. Use this post as a reference.

I don't think House4life was serious LOL
Besides he was asking a question only 

That's why my suggestion was for only newbies and Jr. Members. I do not think a legit newbie/Jr. Member posts that much. Twice or thrice a day? A legit one basically will spend more time on reading then posting IMO. We can be more flexible by reducing the captcha requirement only for Newbies, if we want.

We already have a restriction for newbies, which is can not posting image. We can easily add the capcha requirement for them as well. Both can be lifted if they buy copper membership.

Here are my sources...

I would like a captcha to have until someone become a member. Most of these spammers are newbies and Jr. Members.

I am not saying it's gonna stop the spamming 100% but this will at-least restrict the spammers. We could see some more merit abuse to achieve member rank though  

There are already some existing threads about it...

New type of off-topic Off Topic bots
Let's spam Bitcointalk - bumping services - auto-bots!
"PrіmeCоreICО Dashboard" Spam flooded the forum. Bots... again.
Let's stop the scammers and bots!
[Mods: NUKE 120 act] Commercial Spambots post and delete 1000s of posts per day
reCaptcha /or similar service/ for newbies and jr.membrs, to prevent bots.
THEYMOS see this. This forum is overruned by bots.
Linked bots
bots posting in the forum

Let's hope you are wrong here.

By the way, can we update the OP with a sign message and stuffs so that an admin can recover your account by any chance if they notice this post? This will make their job easier also your chances will be increased to get noticed.  

I wish you a very good luck.
