They're probably hacked accounts as well. Sorry, "shared" (just without the owners consent).

Has anyone been watching Sacha Baron Cohen's new show? I've laughed out loud a few times during each episode. Some stuff is hard to watch though it's that cringe-worthy. Sacha has balls of steel and the things he gets people to do blows my mind at how gullible they are. My favourite bit was the second part of the "How to trap Mexicans": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJJmnf5Yz84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QuStxZ-QfM "I'm a self-hating white male and believe in equal rights for all 24 genders." I wonder how many shitposters will just read the title and respond something like "America is a country".If you're not aware of Sacha I recommend watching everything he's ever done. Great satire. |

but theymos has already stated that the ultimate solution will be to remove signatures completely if the merit system doesn't work and there's no suggestion more strict than that.
I wonder what the defcon status is currently for the nuclear option?  I dunno. I'm sure it will be the very last resort for him but I get the feeling one day he'll just snap and remove them to solve the issue instantly. Far too much workload is being placed upon him and nothing is getting done at all. The forum just gets worse in the process and good ideas to improve it are completely ignored without even being commented on or discussed at all. How difficult is it to punish campaign and hold them to some actual standards? Merit requirements should be added to become Junior or signatures removed from lower ranks. More sub board mods should be assigned to spread out workload. Those three simple things would work wonders and improve the situation here greatly, but nothing changes and things get worse until the day it's just easier to go nuclear. |

People say it usually takes 6 months to a year, just hang in there. It will be recovered soon hopefully.
No. It's somewhere between months to never. Realerre and everyone else are unfortunately just wasting their time right now. |

Maybe only admins can issue them.

I got Banned from displaying signatures for one year. Wow, just wow  Is there any public announcement on this? Since when is this option available? If this is a new thing the Mods can use, it should be widely known to scare signature spammers. First I've seen of it. Is there any public announcement on this? Since when is this option available?

It was always possible. I remember months ago when theymos (or was it hilariousandco?) did the same thing with a group of users and banned them from showing their signature for 1 month. But now they are banning for 1 year? Wow. News to me. |

This one makes sense. Can't we just restrict the use of the account to one particular IP? By doing so we can make sure that they don't sell their accounts right?
We could, but it almost certainly won't happen. People can just use a new connection or a proxy though. I've suggested in the past that once you create an account here that IP is burned and can no longer be used to create one (without maybe paying a fee). |

Well, I didn't have chance to do any predictions the last round. But, I'm still quietly confident  Nah, I'm just in it for the fun as I'll probably miss a few rounds in the future too. Why don't you just put as many as you can in now? That way you won't miss any games and can always change them when you get chance. You could even put the entire season's in if you really wanted. Missing a few round doesn't really matter either. I get next to zero points in a few rounds last season and still came second overall. |

Another option would be the removal of merit which will go back to the sender. But it's much harder to implement I guess. I agree that merit abuse went too far on this forum.
This would be better, but the merit should just be burned and not sent back. |

Easily fixed. I can start recording the content of merited posts as soon as they are mertted. I can display that content if the post is deleted.
Thoughts?
Sure, if you can. I think it would help a lot. |

• If a post is removed then so is any merit awarded (I think some users are deleting posts to hide evidence of abuse).
You can't hide evidence by deleting posts. We still know who you sent it to and how many you sent - we just don't know the content of the post. Example: https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=PavelRostovIt says "Deleted Post" for each post that has been removed. You can. People can merit shit posts or a copy and pastes. What happens if someone gives a large merit to a deleted post? We can't see the content whether it was deserved or not. Most times it probably wont be. Huge loophole in my opinion. |

Such as? Please provide examples, though they are likely breaking the rules.

Payment for being a Merit Source, even if it’s something low like $100 per month.
Yeah, this isn't going to work. People will just want to become a merit source for all the wrong reasons then. I have no issue in giving merit out to those who contribute to the community and am happy to do it, but I don't think sources should be paid. |

I really don't think we need an entire sub forum for this. It would be pretty dead most likely. Just create an informative thread or two if you really want to spread awareness about staying safe online. If it's helpful enough maybe it can be stickied somewhere or linked to in another guide.

Btw, how's the fantasy league? I'm gonna make an account later and join up. That should be fun too. Anybody wanna make a small bet on who ends higher in fantasy? I don't have experience playing it. Played some free ones in the past, but never really took them serious.
What, between the two of us? Only me joined. I joined another league but don't know how long I'll carry on with it, so not interested in putting money on it this season. If anyone wants to join it go here: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/homePin to join is: 2475654-564008 |

Just report them. We had one of these yesterday, and once users click the links it likely has a knock-on effect with more users getting infected and spreading the same malware. I banned him. Will remove the posts now.

God damn you scored nicely hilarious, congrats on the yellow cap! I'm really loving this and I'm super happy I decided to not sit on the sidelines any longer. Off topic: Does Superbru offer these pools for CL as well, and will you either way have a CL pool running here on bitcointalk?  Yes and yes. I'll get one going soon. |

Then you're last.  *wears hat*  |

Congrats, you killing it. I got the spoon, whatever that means. Not even on the last place.
MoSalah is and they have the spoon from my view. Is that you? |
