He just left 62 frivolous flags, most people got 3. They are flag #s 1137 - 1199. I opposed all of them. I'll post a list after finishing my Flag viewer's update. The user in question seems to be suffering from delusions of grandeur probably due to some form of serious psychological trauma. Tragic really. I don't think so, I think he's looking for attention, and that's working out very well for him! |

Fork you dude, enough bumpies - how many bad words can I say today? Give it your best shot  The wording on http://didtmansayabadword.tk/ changes at 0, 10 and 100 bad words. If you reach 250, I'll think of something new. |

How the winning number is chosen ? We strongly believe in provably fair.
4 random numbers are already selected from 1 to 1000 using random.org. We have hashed the 4 numbers using SHA-256 There are 2 problems with this approach: First, it's not provably fair if you know the result upfront. That means you could tell someone, or use an alt-account. A common solution for raffles on Bitcointalk is to use a future Bitcoin block hash as random seed, and generate a number from there using a predefined method. Entries should be closed before the selected future block is found. Second, you've edited your post. You should post hashes in a second post, so you don't have to edit it anymore. Luckily, I've archived your post the moment you made it, so it can be verified you didn't change the hashes.
It's like againts for rules of forum. Please consider to change or delete the rules for claim ticket by review your thread. Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.
Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here. Please read what you're quoting before you post it! |

I thank you for your reply, i was stupid enough for not forbid newbie accounts from the beginning, therefore im paying for my mistake. There's also no "one entry per person" clause, so I can't tag them for cheating your giveaway. This would be good to add in any future endeavours. Now all I could do was report their off-topic posts. For what it's worth: I much appreciate what you're doing here: using Bitcoin to pay for real-world solutions. That's what Bitcoin and this forum need to grow. |

At what point does flag abuse become ban-worthy? I guess never. Flag abusers are damaging their own credibility, so assuming the Trust system works how it should, they shouldn't ever reach DT. Nobody ever tried to Flag me! Being conservataive with negative feedback has it's perks |

Do the Merits sent by others affect your decision? Yes  If someone just merited one of my posts, I'm reluctant to merit one of their posts, even though the post deserves it. |

Not that I have to justify anything about my merit handouts other than to Theymos if he asked. Indeed: If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me.
~
Aside from that, if people complain about whether things deserve merit at all, then that's something to perhaps think about, but if you conclude that they're wrong, then that's that. You don't need to stress about it or defend yourself constantly. It's conceivable that someday you and I will end up disagreeing too much about this stuff and I'll remove your source status, but it's really not a big deal. People seem to forget that being a source is a pain in the arse when you are busy, I have a responsibility to hand them out so that’s what I do, I don’t have as much time on the forum all the time like I did previously but I do feel that I still need to spunk my source load every month. If a member is 100% not a shitposting pajeet then I have no issues dropping 50 on them, even if it’s not their best post I know it’s going to one of the most deserving posters. When time constraints come into play I will continue to hand out in this fashion until I’m told not to by Theymos. I don't mind being a Merit source (and I even asked for it), but indeed, it feels like a never ending task of getting rid of continuously replenishing sMerit while non-source users complain sMerit is scarce

I'm on mobile and can't check for sure - I know it doesn't work on my phones chrome either. I have the same problem on mobile, and indeed, that's Chrome. So at least on my end it's a chrome issue - imagine that lol It works on my desktop Chrome, but takes a while to finish loading. Firefox is much faster. Simple fix - use Firefox.  I do, that's why I didn't have the problem. I wouldn't know what to change to make Chrome load it, maybe 50,000-ish links without proper HTML headings is a bit much. |

It is OK. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.
I don't really agree with theymos here, and I wouldn't have done it myself, but in the big picture it doesn't really matter: if a user isn't a spammer, 50 Merit doesn't hurt the forum, and he gets to merit other posts again. The drawback of not sending 50 at a time is that I'm still sitting on 8% of all the sMerit I ever had. And having a busy day like today doesn't help |

Which seems pretty fucked up to me if you're making 1-5% gains here and there and the owner is taking 30% of that... and then you stand the possibility of losing 30% of your entire balance, which the owner has no risk in. Owner is going to be making money hand over fist and then the users get "fisted".  That makes sense: his plan to take 30% of monthly profit failed, and taking 30% of all profitable trades almost guarantees him profit. So if you win 10% and lose 10%, you have no profit, but you'll lose 3% of your balance as "commission". |

Have you ever sent merits in error or accidentally sent more merits than you intended? Yes. Or maybe you sent all your sMerits and emptied your balance... No, that's never happened to me. Before I was a Merit source I never ran out, and since I am a Merit source they keep coming. Despite that, I am the most generous recent merit sender now. What did you do next? I merited the post I intended to merit. It doesn't happen often, and the post I accidentally merited wasn't bad, so nothing was lost. I think less than 0.1% of my sent Merit was accidental, so it's acceptable as collateral damage. The most common or the only mistake meriters usually make is double-send their sMerits to receivers. My mistake was multitasking too much, and losing track. The one thing I am afraid of, is accidentally sending 10 times what I intend to do: that "0" in the Merit field is often tricky. I've seen "10" or "20" instead of "1" or "2" many times now, but never clicked "Send" without correcting it. Some day, it's bound to happen. |

I'm still punting between restaurants, and using their WiFi, so bandwidth and power are factored into the price of my coffee. How many connections do you get in such a short time? I can imagine not many other clients download data from you, if you're only available for (say) half an hour at a time. |

Thanks! I've had that problem before since moving servers: it works fine from a terminal, but from a cronjob something is different (environment variables?), which causes certain usernames to be treated as binary instead of ascii. I'm testing a fix now (but not from a cronjob), so if the problem is still there next week, let me know. |

Hey Loyce, if you're still doing this, I want one more link please. It still works, I didn't do anything |

That shows how DT1-blacklisting would influence their DT-strength.
DT1 strength or DT2 strength? .. Now I'm confused lol ..  Both I'm thinking about this scenario, in which a "downvoted" DT1 member would end up on DT2 if he gets excluded from DT1. To quote my Mobile: This means it is possible that a DT1-exclusion leads to a member being on DT2 which wouldn't happen without blacklisting. This is probably caused by the fact that excluded DT1-members can vote against other DT1-members, but they can't vote against DT2-members. |

I was trying to check out the controversial status of this user: pirate hunter. Apparently he was banned then unbanned under unknown circumstances. His last post was 2 days ago. His userID doesn't show on modlog, which means he hasn't been banned in the past 7 days. So he's not banned. Thanks, I forgot to update usernames.txt for unbanned users. That should be fixed now. I noticed banned.html has a few more entries that it should, but I can't quickly figure out which ones are wrong. My script got a bit messy from the changes, so that's for another time. I've manually removed the following 2 users: 1772877: TotSamiy
2347750: pirate hunter |

Here are the ones for the past six months:
In this period, 19801 reports handled as good, 698 handled as bad, 628 unhandled.
In this period, 35785 reports handled as good, 1295 handled as bad, 1454 unhandled.
In this period, 33700 reports handled as good, 665 handled as bad, 823 unhandled.
In this period, 22258 reports handled as good, 739 handled as bad, 491 unhandled
In this period, 16122 reports handled as good, 818 handled as bad, 1507 unhandled
In this period, 7851 reports handled as good, 686 handled as bad, 1284 unhandled. I'm surprised 3.34% is marked as bad, that's a lot higher than I expected. |

- Once platform is released later this month, all current subscribers will receive credit equal to their loss of Dec 2019 Am I cynical if I expect this "credit" to be meant so you keep risking more of your funds? I assume you can't just withdraw this credit, because the funds don't really exist. |

10 nutildah I was Theymos Snapped twice?? I don't remember those months at all... Are you sure about that? You just joined DT1 late. So technically I think you've never lost the "random 100 lottery". |
