Post this in the 'Scam Accusation' section. It's pretty obvious this problem would arise via account -/+ loan ordeals. Wasn't online at the time.
This has to be the worst possible way to account farm.

Can membership level drop due to inactivity?
No. You just lose activity due to inactivity, so you could miss out on being upgraded faster. It is possible but you must do it manually. I would suggest that you write down (or make a spreadsheet) of all of the "activity" periods since you have joined (when they started/ended). Then go through your post history to check as to how many activity periods you posted in. You then multiple that number times 14 and you have your answer
That's exactly what i meant above but some said we need more than that. Because, you also have to factor in the default number of activity that you missed. (A.K.A, the amount that you missed no matter what.) Not to mention, they registered in 2011 which would make it only harder. Activity came in at around the end of 2012, beginning of 2013, or something like that. You'd have to see what the activity would be in the old system, in which posts calculated your rank. (If I remember correctly.) I believe that when the activity system was implemented, none of the "old" activity was transferred to the "new" system, as a result some people's ranks changed either up or down based on what activity level they have with the new system of getting up to 14 activity points every two weeks they post Technically, everyone misses a small portion of activity. It's not exactly fixed at two weeks. This thread tells you more on it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.0It's really no big deal since the loss of 14 activity will most likely occur in what, the digital-coffin known as Crypto Haven? ---- Also, OP, the thread gives you a simple formula to see your activity that way... Brrrrg. |

Typically, a 'scriptkiddy' or 'skid' is a beginner scriptwriter in the script or hacking community that copy and pastes other people's good scripts and claim it as their own, or possibly changes only the simple things.
Why would you be asking this question to a Skid? Are you new to scripting, and don't know any of the terms? I'd change the title. Being called a 'scriptkiddy' is probably the pariah of the community.

What? Anyway - you collect activity by posting within the activity periods. The activity periods occur every two weeks. You're unable to collect any you 'lost'. To see how much you lost, you'd have to know if you registered before/after activity started (Before, in your case, I'm pretty sure), how many posts you had at that time, and how many posts you had during activity. I think you can calculate it by date registered but one needs some serious maths skills for that and
i don't think there's any script for that. But they can add something like that in new forum version.
No, you need more than the date you registered. |

Micronation? Doesn't make sense.
Micronations have been around for a long time. Some of them are highly recognized, Sealand and Molossia. Anywho, I'm quite surprised some people didn't know what they were. They've been around for, I dunno, a very long time that spans over decades. Some of them have had good and interesting histories whilst some have came to their demise (Minerva, for example.). But inside the serious league, there are some serious micronation militias, laws, currencies, languages, and... Sports. This is certainly interesting. Haven't heard of a ton of micros with cryptocurrency as their main. I do doubt the seriousness of this highly - most likely one of the ones created for 'funsies' in someone's backyard. But who knows. |

It's definitely phishing, as the page it's pointing you to doesn't exist on the forum; it was probably hyperlinked to a phishing website with a similar name in the actual email you recieved. The "[Suspicious link removed]" is presumably replacing another phishing link as well.
On top of all that, their spelling and grammar sucks, and Bitcointalk doesn't use Java anywhere (because it's unnecessary and insecure), so it wasn't a very good attempt at phishing in the first place.
Plus, most News is usually at the "News" section for Bitcointalk. Just like when there's a vulnerability. Also, people would've been blowing a storm up about it on the forum. Not to mention, I've never had someone on Staff contact me via E-Mail, unless I contacted them. And it says this:
This is an automated email - Please do not replay.

So all that said, you believe we can choose our own God, or not choose God. There is no absolute truth, we just decide our own truth and because of that I can believe whatever I want and so can you and the goal is just to live a good and decent life for the most part?
Yes, that's the same thing you're doing, I just don't have a magic book to back it up. With the exception of "choosing" what to believe? Did you choose to believe in god? Probably not, you just do because that's what you believe. I'm the same way. I didn't choose not to believe in god. I just don't because that's what I believe. I guess the thing that shocks me the most is that people really don't care about life after death. They are not concerned about the afterlife at all. To me, eternity is the most important thing we need to consider. This life is very short. Each day I wake up well aware that it could be my last day on earth. I try to live my life with that in mind.
If I don't believe in an afterlife, why would I spend any time thinking about it or caring about it. YOU believe in an afterlife. That's your belief. If I believed in the Flying Spaghetti Monster as my god, and all his teachings, I'd be trying to convince you to also believe in him because it would be the only way to salvation. You would look at me the same way I am looking at you. Why would I care about the Flying Spaghetti Monster afterlife, that's obviously not true. That's how I view your version of the afterlife. It's not true to you. It's true to me. What's true to you is not to me. Neither of us can prove the other wrong. I'm not asking you to change your beliefs, just asking you don't force them on people who don't want to live by the rules of your religion. Your beliefs are not more important or more correct than someone else's. You don't have a right to force other people to act the way you want them to. That's my most important point in this thread. I'm fine with Christians and Muslims and Jews or any other religion that wants to believe anything they want, so long as they don't try to make anyone else live a life subject to their religious rules who doesn't want to. Of course I can't force anyone to believe what they don't want to. I totally get that. But the question seems to be more about "absolute truth" more than anything. So you are saying that you would rather live life with a carefree attitude and if you die and realize only at that point that there is indeed a God and that there is Heaven and Hell and that you are sent to Hell because you chose to a) ignore warnings b) didn't want to believe in God c) didn't think religious rules were cool d) didn't have time to worry about it (and so on) then you will be fine with God saying "depart from me, I never knew you" and then you will suffer for eternity?Just trying to make sure. Again, just because you don't believe something isn't true, doesn't make it untrue. I can close my eyes while it is raining and say, "I don't like rain. I don't believe in rain. Rain doesn't exist" but I will still be pelted with raindrops. The same thing goes for the laws God has made. When you die and stand before God I would just be concerned that your reasoning of "I didn't believe You were real" won't be a good enough excuse to give you a free pass. Pascal's wager, of the hundreds of religions/mythologies that have/will exist, we're supposed to believe that christianity is the right one. I'd rather go through living the life I know I have to the best then spend it worshiping something that there is no proof of existing for a 1 in 100+ chance of having a kickass afterlife Your god is an egotistical psychopath by the way if he sends you to burn for eternity for not believing in him when he refused to prove himself Then you will have your wish. You will be separated from Him for eternity. He respects your wishes. As for God refusing to prove Himself. Have you asked Him to? That is a prayer He usually answers from what I have observed. God gives everything that is good in this life. God is love, joy, peace and every good and perfect gift comes from Him. Even sex is a gift from God (misused and abused often). Even wealth is a blessing from God (also misused). The things that are not from God are hate, death, sickness, murder, basically all sin. These things came when sin entered the world. Eternity without God is a world without love, joy, peace, kindness. Personally, I am forever grateful that God loved me enough to give me not only good gifts on this earth but a hope of heaven even though I don't deserve it (and no one deserves heaven because we have all sinned and fallen short of God's laws). Then why did God flood the Earth, and, kick Adam and Eve out of Eden if he knew it'd only bring an chaotic future? Go ahead, try and back this up.  God wouldn't have flooded the Earth, and, wouldn't allow for his gifts to be abused. As someone previously stated... How do you know that Christianity is the right way? There are many books like the Bible, how do you know that Christianity is the religion God wants you to be in, and, not any of the others? |

I never got this:
If there was life on Mars, another planet, or, a very, very, far away Galaxy - how is the book of Genesis consistent when it comes to that? What if this 'life' were either humanoid and/or very hard to distinguish from humans.
Keep in mind at this point in time, it would've been greatly impossible for Adam and Eve to know what a human specifically was since the term was invented afterwards, I assume. (If it wasn't - that makes absolutely no sense at all.)
How would this coincide with Genesis?
Since really no one has any proof at this moment of distant life, and, in those days they didn't know the classifications of a human...
----
Anyway, to a different tone:
Another error in Genesis (I'm sure this was brought up already), I'm pretty sure it's been proved that the flood didn't happen. There have been trees dating back to 4,000 years old. We wouldn't have fossilized plants, either, older than that.
Methuselah is literally 5,000 years old. The water pressure would've killed it or tore it's roots away by erosion of the dirt.
----
Plus it's the whole Bible-diet thing, but, let's not get into that.
You should read the Space Trilogy books by C.S Lewis if the idea of life on other planets and with a connection to Genesis if that interests you.  Personally, I don't have a problem with the thought that God could have created more people in another galaxy if He chose too. Who knows, maybe He did and they are doing a far better job than we are? Maybe Eve didn't eat the forbidden fruit and sin never entered their world? I like to joke though that if there was centuries of people that had avoided eating the fruit, knowing that I have a problem not indulging in curiosity, I would have been the one to eat it!  What do you mean about no proof that the flood happened? The fact that trees only date back 4000 years proves something must have caused all the trees to die at that point? It is estimated that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 1656 AM or 2348 BC. The fact that there are no trees older than this brings great validity to a world wide flood. Also, there are over 200 (I have even heard over 300) flood stories from different cultures around the world. Here is a link to read more: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html The fact that there are stories with similarities in all these cultures that did not speak to each other should cause at least someone to think that there is validity to it. Also, there are fossils of sea creatures in the middle of Kansas and in the Himilayas. How would sea creatures be at these locations without a flood? Also, if we look at the number of people on the earth there had to be a catastrophic event that happened about 4000 to 4500 years ago too because the population of the earth at the rate of growth per year coincides with this time. You must've missed it: Methuselah is literally 5,000 years old. The water pressure would've killed it or tore it's roots away by erosion of the dirt. Not to mention, when he created the world, I was disappointed to not see any dinosaurs mentioned. There's no validity if there's a ton of stories. There's something called FOLKLORE and it's a part of every culture. Should we believe that, too? And, the population of Earth is estimated and always will be. Using this in that context is highly inaccurate. |

I don't get why people think self moderation is this big cube that if you get deleted from you can't come back. Seriously. If you have such a problem with self moderation - no, your rights of speech haven't been taken - just post a NEW thread. Make a new cube. Trust me, making a new thread that isn't self-mod'd by a bot would be better, since, people hate self mod'd threads and would be quick to step onto your bandwagon about whatever.

I've been sort of mute for a while, but, Sellinq is a legit guy. Good to see that it's going good.
I've also recently had enough time to make way for orders, so, if Sellinq is off I can complete any orders.
Thanks.

No.
It's more of a scavenger hunt for account farmers, bots, one-liner-newbies, Dank, scammers, Joey, and pretty much anyone else. Everyone on Bitcointalk has done it. It's the initiation.
What - do you think your rank doesn't matter unless you're joining a signature campaign, selling something, or getting a loan? Silly low levels.
Your conclusion (about me) is wrong and your words are... not nice. If you read up, I was surprised to get to Full Member. Of course, I took the opportunity, and I see you did that too. My posts were driven by common sense and from what you can see, I didn't do really bad. Actually my interest for the rules became high since a few weeks ago, but the reason is that I've got message that one of my posts was removed. And then (yes, only then) I thought that I should really read the rules, which where hard to find. But yeah, ... actually ... you can believe what you want, it's a free world. Please allow me to direct you to our sarcasm department. Yes, Sir, I am your cookie to the Internet world. Over there is Reddit, HF, and you know the usual- Why, no Sir, please do not go over there. That's were WF resides. Let's go on an adventure: ---- On a serious note, I was just being sarcastic. It wasn't a conclusion, at all. I guess there's too many trolls being fed on the forums now. Gotta get my bucket of grub. |

Keeping an address to yourself or just for faucet payments doesn't mean people wont be able to spam it with payments. Once you use your address it's recorded on the blockchain and bots can then find it to spam you with. Happened before and it'll happen again, though those payments you recieved will most likely be just from some other faucets.
It's basically a wallet which allows faucet owners to send small amount of money to the people who claim faucet without fees and the system will group them together and combine all the micropayments into one and send to your address once you reach a certain threshold. It is like a online wallet but they don't allow deposits from blockchain. How would they be able to distinguish any payment from Blockchain? I seriously don't get it. In that context, I guess you meant Blockchain, or you meant "...but they don't allow deposits from the blockchain." Which would be even more confusing. Since, Bitcoin is basically built- I rather not babble on. |

I've been getting paid well so far though  This is getting supremely irritating. Here's a tip: That doesn't mean it's not a scam. Really. People have been saying that for days, weeks. Almost everyday at least one person says that and his/her sockies try to cover up for him/her. |

Why is it that people still buy Beats anyway? Oh, yeah. Not because Beats are beasts, but, because of marketing. In my opinion, I see no difference between beats - I'd rather go with Bose because they do better noise cancelling.
You could get better than Beats for $100.

no
It mostly likely is advertising, or, interest (I've never used MW, so I don't know.) I'm going to go with advertising. Probably when you were making a transaction they saw your address, of course. |

I'm going to be adding a page to my miconations website that will allow micronation enthusiasts to apply for digital citizenship. This form would require their BTC wallet address. I was wondering if there was any reason a person my not be willing to enter their address into the site. I mean you can only pay someone with their wallet address correct?
No, it doesn't seem sketchy. You cannot exactly hack someone with just their address, it'd take decades to centuries.

Correct, you need a wallet address to send someone a payment. Why do you require their BTC wallet address, is the goal not that they pay you? If a person does not want to enter their address you could arrange a meeting with paper wallet payment. A paper wallet would seem sketchier to me than just giving my address. Plus , that takes way more time and effort than just entering it. I could see where someone would be mad, and this would possibly be if you gave their addresses for Sat advertising. Other than that, it doesn't seem sketchy. Most people literally have their address in open display. |

I don't know anything about Pandacoin.
Avoid the scams. Avoid any newish PoS.
My .02
Dogecoin is not that new and like I said I will be holding for many years. I'm up in the air about pandacoin but from what I have read they seem promising. Anybody else have .02 cents they would like to add? Dogecoin. Pandacoin has gone pretty shady over the months. Not to mention, it did become inactive for a little while, strangely. I'd take Dogecoin any day. It's a nice, hype coin and it has a good community which is rare when it comes to coins of that nature. It picks up after a Pump N' Dump easily. I've invested in it a few times and got a pretty good return, and mostly, it was because it was speedy. However, if you are choosing between Dogecoin and Panda, I think you'd do best splitting it down the middle... 50/50. Pandacoin is shady, but, it's community does protect each other from useless FUD and Dogecoin is also good and just has more opportunities than Panda, due to it becoming a meme. Whatever you do, absolutely DO NOT go into any of the rare coins, such as 42, 62, etc. Also I'd advise going into one with a active community, too. Hope this helped, OP. But then again - it's your investment. So if neither of these work for you just go crazy with it. (My .000002 BTC) |
