OP is an interesting one. Many years ago, I thought it meant 'opening post', so I was confused why most people referred to the thread starter as OP. It made no sense to me until I realized that OP is 'original poster'.
Cantsay shared good resources for crypto terminology. If you want one for general slang that is used on internet forums, you can take a look at noSlang.com.

Sites and services don't present all TOS updates in the same way. I will use my bank as an example. When there is a TOS change, they send me an email mentioning their terms got changed, and then they highlight the exact points they changed. That makes it much clearer for the end-user to focus on the updates. Some other services I use aren't as detailed. All they say is, our terms have changed. To read the new ones, please check the following document. It's then your job to go through everything from beginning to end to see if there is something there you might not like. 

Calling someone stupid isn't always the right terminology. Not knowing something isn't synonymous for being stupid. It works the other way around as well. Knowing something doesn't make you more intelligent than the average guy. You might just be a well-informed idiot (using similar terminology as you). Questions are normal in all segments of life. They often mean you are paying attention and require additional clarification. What works in one scenario might not work in a different one. Hence, questions to get a wider understanding of the issue.

What's wrong with that? You make it sound like both things are bad: being on top of the merit table for low-rank members and receiving merits from merit sources. Merit sources are instrumental to users ranking up, simply because they have many more merits to pass along than regular members. For a regular member to send 1 merit, they need to receive 2 from other people. Merit sources have bags with hundreds of merits they can distribute.

I can see that you are also new here, welcome aboard. But please don't write in bold or colored/capital letters. It really isn't necessary and makes a post stick out unnecessarily.

You don't need a mentor or to copy someone else. Just be yourself. Preview your posts and correct errors before submitting them. Ensure that the text is both factually and grammatically correct. The last step is ensuring it looks good and is pleasant to look at. That means, no big walls of text without any order or structure. Create natural paragraphs where it makes sense and would make the reader stick around and keep reading. 

One can be a newbie to the forum and a newbie to bitcoin/crypto in general. But, a person can already have certain knowledge about crypto and only be a forum newbie.
It's very easy to figure out which category a particular user falls into by the way he communicates and discussed crypto-related issues.

Your registration date from a few weeks ago shows that you are a forum newbie. Your post history shows that you are also inexperienced in crypto. Basically, you are a double newbie.

I don't consider merit count as an indicator of someone's knowledge. It can be, but merits are also about how much the community or the people giving them like you. We have people on this forum who are knowledgeable but prone to quarrels. Many members of the community don't like them, have them on ignore, and don't merit their posts. However, that doesn't make them newbies or unknowledgeable individuals.     

@CryptSafe
Do you think there might be a reason why the person PMed you about these scripts and not one of the thousands of other users of Bitcointalk? Have you ever posted on the forum that you would be interested in buying or exchanging those scripts with someone?

If not and it's completely random, there is surely a nefarious reason behind the offer. Report, delete, and don't look back.

@nutildah
Is there a particular reason you suggest using those AI detectors and not some others? Are they more likely to detect automated content compared with some competitors.
I wanted to suggest two more AI classifiers that can get the job done and don't require you to register an account, pay for the service, etc. If you have any comments on their quality, don't hesitate to speak up.

I don't think he came up with anything new. In fact, it's probably one of the oldest tricks in the book. He has created a fake exchange. Once you register an account and apply the coupon code, a fake balance will be displayed in your account. You will think you have bitcoins, and try to withdraw them. That's where the actual scam begins. The site will ask you to deposit a certain amount for "security reasons", "network fees", "verification" or whatever else they have come up with in the meantime. Since greed is sometimes stronger than logic, some people will deposit the asked amount and that's the amount they will get scammed for. On top of that, there is the threat of identity theft if you submit any documents to the site for KYC verification.   

I initially thought that the kamen1 case was different from that of kezar1, despite the obvious similarities in the usernames. kezar1 never mentioned in this thread that he had an open dispute with the casino on CasinoGuru or that kamen1 is his account. But he did talk about it on the CG thread:

https://casinoguru-en.com/maverick-games-casino-player-has-not-passed-the-verification

It's interesting though that the player claims the Isle of Man regulator never requested any documents from him. That means they only considered the evidence and docs the casino sent them. Nevertheless, this case is closed.

Fair enough. I just did. It's true that you have completed thousands of trades on both LocalMonero and LocalBitcoins, but it's not close to 100k. Not on those two platforms at least based on the trading history. 2652 on LocalMonero and 5000+ on LocalBitcoins. Your profiles are also not 7 years old, they are 5 years old. I guess you racked up those numbers elsewhere. Still, that's an impressive trading history and another reason why fake feedback isn't needed. 

Seeing that OP registered his account a few days ago to make this scam accusation thread, I doubt he knows what flags are or what the forum's feedback system represents. If the seller had a newbie flag, it's hard to overlook as everything is self-explanatory after reading the banner above the user's profile. Still, if you look how clusterphys writes, English is certainly not his strong side. Unfortunately, neither is his knowledge of bitcoin because the seller managed to trick him that "Bitcoin kept too much fees" and that he needed to send another transaction to make up for it.

Judging by what holydarkness said, AskGamblers doesn't mediate in disputes that concern MaverickGames. He couldn't find the casino on their website. I also did a quick search and couldn't find it either. CasinoGuru could be of assistance, though, if the player wanted their help. Based on OP's results, I don't think he want's to take this any further.

No one here can know if you are telling the truth or not regarding your travelling and gambling habits. It's possible of course that you were indeed in a different country from the one whose ID documents you possess. A different scenario is that you are gambling from a restricted location or that you got banned and returned to the site and are now using VPN software to hide your identity.

To confirm if you are telling the truth or not, a trusted mediator would have to look at the presented evidence. If you don't want to go down that route, this thread doesn't really have much value. It's a person saying they got scammed and nothing else. The story begins and ends there.

And in reality, it's the other way around. Bingos and lotteries are purely luck-based products. Sports betting, on the other hand, is a combination of luck and skills/knowledge. Your odds of winning are much higher when you bet on sports than when you want to win the lottery. You can make a single bet and profit from it, while in a lottery you need to guess several number sequences to win.

Are you using some enhanced security features that might cause that? AgoraDesk has a version with JavaScript and one without it. I think JS can also be used to geolocate someone's device, but I have never given it much thought. Maybe you can try with a more privacy-invasive browser like Chrome to see if it affects anything.

Slažem se u mnogo tome sa ovim što si rekao u vezi nekretnina i problema na koje čovjek može naletjeti prilikom prodaje. Ali ako je likvidnost problem kod nekretnina, isto tako je velika volatilnost problem kod bitcoina. Bitcoin možeš uvijek prodati ali je pitanje kolika će biti cijena onog trenutka kad budeš prodavao. Naravno da kad lječiš sebe ili nekog svoga, nećeš razmišljati o profitu kod prodaje. U drugim situacijama, BTC ti može izgubiti 50% ili više onda kad ti treba lova od one vrijednosti koju je imao kada si ga kupio.

Moguće da je izašao iz BTC-a u USDT ili neki stablecoin, čekao da cijena bitcoina padne i onda kupio više BTC-a nego što je orginalno zamjenio a uz to kupio sve one stvari koje je naveo u svom postu.

Ja bi bio sretan da dođe i do tog famoznog praga od $100k o kojem mnogi sanjaju. Tad bi jedan dio svog portfelja sigurno prodao koji već stoji spreman i konsolidiran za tako nešto. Ali pitanje je onda u šta izaći kad fiat konstantno gubi vrijednost. Plemeniti metali možda. Nekretnina? Postavja se pitanje porijekla novca...
BTC na $100.000 bi bilo odlično. Sve iznad toga je dodatni veliki premium.

Ne možeš je koristiti na POS uređajima ali je možeš koristiti za online kupovinu na isti način kako radiš sa fizičkom debitnom/kreditnom karticom. Virtualna kartica na sebi ima broj, datum isteka i onaj troznamenkasti CVV2 broj pozadi i to ti se traži kad plačaš za nešto online.

Pa da, to sam i mislio. Custodial servis kao i centralizovane mjenačnice i lako im je onda uzeti jedan coin a poslati drugi. Naplačuju li nekakvu naknadu za tu "zamjenu" iz layer 1 u layer 2 ili imaju naknada za povlačenje sredstava sa walleta?

Prošli veliki bull run je bio 2018. LN je predstavljen 2016 ako se ne varam. Još je vjerovatno bilo rano za neko ozbiljnije korištenje LN mreže.
