...I felt myself like chatting with a small kid... "I am a fan of Minexcoin", "evaluated Sylon who distributed Stakes without delay" as the manager of the bounty you participated, which I didn't know -- even worse transaction then, and awarded merits to announcement thread for which you are the bounty manager... All of them are simply your personal uses of source merits for your favorite coins or favorite bounty manager, which we have been discussing in this thread.
Like I said, the whole point of his statement was.... ...you are a fan of the projects (Cosplay and Minexcoin). And you appreciated them sending the merits.
Notice that you've been insulting these people's efforts by abusing source merits for private purposes... it was particularly deplorable to see merit abuse by merit source.
You are absolutely correct. You have been awarded sMerits to serve the community not to serve your private interest IMO. The merit stats say that there are currently 79 merit sources....
I think last time if I can remember it was 80 or something, I really don't know the exact number. Hope I could help. |

Not surprised. Now I am kinda tired of investing all these. Nothing gonna change but in addition people will think you are a hypocrite. Now a days merit abusers are becoming smarter and smarter.
They do not go like X->Z and Z->X
They go like X->Y->Z->A->B->......->W->X
By the way well done. |

I think that will be a very welcomed and good idea to help keep the forum sane. If KYC is used, it will help ensure each person has just one account. I think if kyc is applied, them merits should be removed because KYC will ensure each person is solely entitled to one account.
Merit is here to determine quality posts it has nothing to do with how many accounts do you have  You may not know that the forum does not stop you creating more than one account. So KYC issue is not valid here. |

Hello, cotiniber. I received PM from theymos. Well, I certainly are Merit source. However, there is no fact that I misused sMerit. About the matter of Cosplay Token.I am currently the bounty manager of Cosplay Token, but I know this project before being appointed as Bounty Manager from the development team. First interaction with the development team. The development team does not instruct me to send Merit to the announcement thread. About Merit transmission to Minexcoin development team.I am a fan of Minexcoin. I have not received money from the development team. I am working as a volunteer. When I translated the announcement thread, the bounty campaign had already ended. About CEDEX Bounty.This evaluated Sylon who distributed Stakes without delay. I have not received this token yet. As a result of the above, selling of sMerit has not been done at all. I have not received any money from the people you pointed out and I have not told you that I misused Merit. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Thank you for you polite and detailed reply. I buy your story however I do not agree with you that you have not misused merit (misuse merit means not only just buying/selling, it includes irresponsible spending, exchanging with each others to rank up etc. You can define it from several dimensions). The whole point of your above post is that you are a fan of the projects (Cosplay and Minexcoin). And you appreciated them sending the merits. I see you are a staff, you are a merit source yet you did not even tried to read carefully the very first merit announcement thread from theymos While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.
You actions are irresponsible. You were suppose to create good example for the community but instead you just encouraged all these merit abusers in the community. In my eyes you are guilty for your irresponsibility. I am certainly going to leave you a neutral trust to keep a log for your irresponsible merit spending coz you already acknowledged your irresponsibility or I would send you a red trust. Looking forward to see better job from you in future.
Update: Neutral trust has been left.  Click here if unable to see image |

I guys bans are 4 types...
1. For 1 day
2. For 14 days
3. For 30 days
4. The permanent one.
I bit confuse though. I am just too lazy to bring the quote. My point is: Which one you friend is in now? If it's permanent and if it's for copy/pasting then I do not think it cam be recovered.

I do not see anything wrong and to me it seems a good idea however I can see everyone has their own opinions and it's not of course the same. We can keep commenting on pages after pages on this topic but It really does not matter what we think, It matters what theymos and other admin thinks.

Due to merit system low quality post had already reduced.
You already seeing the good impact of the merit system. But I think this give away of merit is not just upto the mark, many of new members will also agree with me.
Yes you are totally right but for bigger benefit we need to accept some minor errors. It's not big deal IMO If I were you then I would not think about my friend instead I would focus on my personal development to adopt with the system. Hope it helps. |

Do you think requiring KYC here in bitcointalk a good idea? It'll prevent scammers from entering our forum plus this will also prevent Alt accounts which commonly makes a lot of spams.
This has been talked numerous time my mate. The whole idea behind this forum is to give the right of being anonymous for the members. Even when we register they do not ask for email verification to keen you anonymous and you are asking for KYC  People do not want to disclose their identity these days. We are living in decentralised age.
update: Then Satoshi would never come back for sure   Click here if unable to see imagehey Satoshi responded |

For starters I could provide some screenshots to you of some pm between each other, that are several days/weeks old. Maybe this can help you believe he isn't my alt.
Also if he wanted an alt I bet he would have created one way before.
Ultimately an admin can look into it. As far as I know we don't live in the same region, so this would be easy to spot based on ip.
I am done here buddy. If you think that can help you then do it if you want. Make sure you record the date/time as well. Good luck. |

Now a days merit abusers are becoming smarter and smarter.
They do not go like X->Z and Z->X
They go like X->Y->Z->A->B->......->W->X
In this case since oscar2000 is already a Legendary, you may not find the circle ending at X again (Just saying). Well you are correct, cheaters will do it this way, small communities will also. I am fairly certain some merit I gave to emile12 or DonScutzi may have come around somehow, because we are all active in the french section, or are talking on eachothers threads. Not everything is fraud. And as you state it, oscar will not be at any circle ending, so why take the risk? What is the advantage? Loosing the credibility of his very precious Legendary account? I just don't get it, I mean, I would never do it if I had a legendary acc, that's for sure. Seems like oscar2000 did it (risked the account) even though s/he had a legendary account. You seems very innocent (!) however can we ignore that oscar2000 and asche are not ALTs to each others? The account holder thought why not send these sMerits to asche and rank it up (just a wild guess).
Update: There are a lot of people here to give you advice but I would like to give you a suggestion. It's up to you to take it or leave it... Forget what happened, from next time be very careful not to repeat this again and read the top stickies on the Meta board especially merit related topics since you are saying that you are new member (!) to the forum. |

... why can't a member use his merits the way he wants, as long as he doesn't sell them, or gets any benefit for it?
.
.
.
Bottom line is, if my best friend came to this forum and needed 10 merit to get to member, I would probably give them to him,
With due respect, it seems like I need to add some of these on my [Parody] Merit translation topic ...because I know he is a great guy and will benefit the forum.
It sounds like you are talking about Trust system. Do you guys even read this? ...I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.
...There is no doubt in my mind that there was some sort of arrangement beforehand--don't know what it was, but it's either you bought those merits or that's your alt account....
Relate this... it's gonna make sense Now a days merit abusers are becoming smarter and smarter.
They do not go like X->Z and Z->X
They go like X->Y->Z->A->B->......->W->X
In this case since oscar2000 is already a Legendary, you may not find the circle ending at X again (Just saying). |

Now do you see the differences? The 2nd one is useful when a topic has been locked but you need to quote it, also to referencing any URL. Hope I explained it better way now |

~ It does not make me that much surprise. I have seen people are exchanging merits shamelessly yet they claim they are not abusing it. I have investigated 16 Cases with over 60+ abusers. The amount of merit has been abused are enormous. Now a days merit abusers are becoming smarter and smarter.

Give it more few months I guess all those people will get tired eventually. The spammers will start packing their begs to leave to other places and the forum will be a much better place. This is all I hope.

It was really hard to find one of your post that worth merit out of your latest 10 posts. But after much hesitation I decided to send one merit to this post with an expectation of to encourage you to create good contents. I see you are trying but it's not enough. Most of your post are not engaging with the readers. You are making comments out of thin air and not following your comments. I would love to see from now on you will try not to post much on Altcoin Discussion, Speculation (Altcoins) etc boards. These are one of the most spamming boards with Bitcoin Discussion, where people do much of their spamming. PS: The post you added on my other topic was too old. I do not accept too old posts but thank you for doing your best. I wish you good luck and see you around. |

@mdayonliner, that man, digaran, just need to be respected, because you know, he is one of merit sources and he demanded a respect in one of his posts which lately he said it was a sarcasm.
I knew nothing about him except today when I went through his posts history to do a little research about him. I then realised he was a merit source but not anymore. . . . However, one thing is for sure, you are trying to pull my leg. I was going through your post history after this indecent today. And this is what I found. . . Seems like you are having a long history with me(!) What is your problem. Feel free to spit it out. I am ready for it.You are talking about respect? Respect is to be earned, not given. I do not find anything in him to be respected yet, I am sorry. In addition this is what he thinks about himself You guys don't need me to show you where to spend your merits, I will keep showing you regardless. because I don't have any dignity.
What would you expect from someone who does not have self-respect? Forget about respecting him until he works for it and proves me wrong. Archive 1 | Archive 2 | Archive 3 | Archive 4Above archives for permanent reference. |

Quote with ref link: [quote author="www.myQuoteWebsite.com"]This is quoted statement[/quote] Preview This is quoted statement
Look closely it's different from regular quoting message. It's useful when you will find a topic is locked but needs to quote something from there. It is also useful to reference any website where you copied the contents. |

In short time I'll maybe start managing a bounty campaign. (in negotiation)
I hope you get the assignment, good luck for that. To give you the feedback: It will be your management. You keep the right how you manage it. If the participants agree with your terms, you will hire them and if they don't then don't hire. I am sure you won't have the problem of not having enough participants. There are lots of members in the forum are looking for bounties. |
