According to this link DAZN was outbid by SkySports therefore it is PPV with them but you are right, Youtube will be showing the fight live in Ukraine.

I have been confident Usyk will win by knockout by round 5 or so. Joshua has to go in an all out attack and then win by KO otherwise he stands no chance because technically Usyk is far superior. I have a feeling Joshua will try to outbox Usyk like he tried in the Ruiz rematch but it will backfire spectacularly.

You have a valid point but adding some members to a trust list or excluding others should be a matter for the one adding, removing or excluding. On many occasions questions are asked about why those decisions were taken.

Unfortunately manipulation of the system has been an ongoing problem that was never addressed. It will continue until or unless some drastic changes are implemented.

I thought it might have been a DDoS or such but it seems from your response it might be something else. If you are unable to elaborate because it might give clues to adversaries and to others that might have repercussions for your business then that is understandable but the first complaint about being unable to access your website was on 6th August yet your first post related to the issue was on 10th August.

Reading the posts between, some users seemed worried and others confused because they had not read anything from you. It is completely understandable you must have been busy sorting out the issue and getting the website operating again but making a post to reassure users might have been much appreciated by those concerned.

I do not use ChipMixer but wanted to visit the website to make some comparisons with other mixers to see what formats different websites follow (as there is no single rule/way to mix) but the website was down. I am glad your business is back up and running. It has an excellent reputation that is scam free.

Wishing you and your business continued success.

Thank you for posting about it with screenshots.

I think this is the first time I have seen an attempt of this particular nature being sent in PMs. All users especially newbies are advised to take notice of the excellent work by the OP and avoid falling victim to these types of scams.

Do not hold back, you are direct and to the point as always lovesmayfamilis 

For the subject matter, I think all that could be said about has been said about it. If someone dies after leaving, whether he made a mistake or not the bigger sadness would be the member dying and not the one living with a negative tag.

The deceased would probably not leave instructions in his will asking loved ones to remove negative trusts therefore the OP probably has the answers.

Absolutely true, indispensable is the key word.

It is all about rotation. Members come and members go... some move on and never return whereas some return rarely or intermittently. Others sadly pass away and that is life, that is the irony. In that process, the forum continues where new members come or not and/or whether existing members continue to frequent or not.

The ecosystem is in itself an amazing thing and that is it... remove the forum and there is nothing but remove the members then others will register.

Having said that I think the OP asked the question with a different intent to what was stated because he later redefined why he asked the question.

Congratulations on your amazing statistics  

Can you post any information related to your claim that can be viewed? Do you have any screenshots of your 1xbit1.com account or any
transaction ids of the deposits when you transferred funds to them?

This raffle seems to be getting filled slowly but surely. Hopefully it will be ready to go within a week or so.

I cannot be sure but I think this is probably the second free raffle that I participated in and like others I am looking forward to the result when it takes place 

Something similar is already happening with the current DT rotation system. DT1 users adding others to their trust list thus giving them DT2 is something being manipulated by cliques therefore any new format should take that in to consideration. When it is done with genuine intent it is different but manipulation of the system takes many forms.

Any form of community vote would be open to manipulation by cliques. I would be against community votes to elect members otherwise it would be another way for egotistic cliques to a get a foothold to create more drama rather than to avoid it.

I do like the idea that once a user has carried out a particular role they cannot be selected again for 'x' length of time, that would severely hamper the drama queens and cliques if they ever in a position to create havoc.

This is always going to be problematic but goes beyond the finances involved and goes to the networks of members that collude. Thankfully most campaign/bounty managers seem more interested in their actual work rather than the politics and drama therefore would probably avoid putting their name forward.

Well I have been saying for some time the feedback system, trust system and merit system is broken. I think the merit system especially the merit source part is not fully functioning the way theymos would have wanted.

And as you said if voting for members comes in to play then those that already wield some influence in the forum could end up trying to use any means necessary to ensure they can get what they want (such as pre-defined requirements to participate in the lottery) when it comes to voting members in.

You put forward excellent ideas. Any suggestions which can help make the forum a better place is to be welcomed especially those can minimise or eliminate the efforts of the cliques that are not working for the wider benefits of the forum or the members.

Well, that would be one side-effect of members deciding to delete their trust list. It is not just the scammers that it would become a haven for it would also become a haven for those that are already manipulating the feedback, trust and merit system for their own agenda.

Can you elaborate on what actually happened and why the website was down for those 3 days?

Some people may have used ChipMixer for the first time and found the issue when trying to use the vouchers and it could have caused distress. Others may be long time ChipMixer users that would have been more confident nothing untoward was happening and the service would be up and running as soon as possible.

Eventually yes but you did delete your own trust list around a year ago (I think you said) and during that time the system is still open to abuse and manipulation. Nothing has changed for the positive.

You are right, there are no highly intelligent philosophers here in the forum but some highly cunning individuals with ulterior motives are here. Mediocre is the key word here. Most of the agenda based inputs are culpable for the general low quality outputs visible in the forum today.

Yes the member base in the forum with all the local language boards (even with own problems) is something to marvel at and the small economies each has generated (from trading and/or avatar and signature campaigns) is at least a success story in itself.

This is true  

As mentioned, there have been a couple of cases I know of but surely many others exist.

The way I see it, if the member was posting constructively here and there but quite clearly was spamming too, depending on the content and quality of their non-spam posting there might be cases where signature banning would be preferred over a temporary ban.

Keeping those aside, now that is has happened, I do think the same for options can be considered on a case-by-case basis for banning a member on a particular board rather than temporary or even outright ban.

I think theymos would make amendments and modifications to the forum structure as long as he thought it was something that was needed. Plenty of members do think it should be fixed because clearly it has been open to abuse by trolls and cliques for far too long.

It is not a good idea having distinctions between "trusting" and "empowering" users. Empower? There will never be full consensus on which members should be appointed with empowerment attached to them and what would they do with power? It would only empower their cliques whilst alienating others.

Several members have bloated egos and are as duplicitous and untrustworthy as they come, but by virtue of being part of a clique (and by subliminally encouraging others to do their trolling and attacking) they could be candidates. I would be unable to vouch for such an outcome and I am sure others will feel the same way and express it if a candidate list was ever drawn up.

In such a scenario the cliques would obviously put forward their candidates and support them with all their keyboard typing power.

Yes, agreed. Many times hunches turn out to be correct though 

Opening a topic in Meta would be a good idea in order for members to put forward ideas and have healthy debate as to how to confront it and fix it in such a manner that it is not open to abuse any longer.

How ridiculous is this because the image shows 1xbit.com but it leads to a maintenance page. The link for the Around the World ADVENTURE leads to 1xbit1.com.

Make up your mind as to which website and which link you will use in order to scam more people 

I am sure many people already have taken steps to avoid a disaster such as losing access to email accounts, social media accounts, maybe shopping websites and of course crypto wallets. That is somewhat different to someone accessing this website regarding the thread title but still is important.

It is difficult to trust that information with a lawyer who will release it in the form of a will after death therefore people probably make it up as they go along. Some could write down credentials and leave it in a safe place and others can basically give it to who they want on the basis they trust they will not access the websites and wallets until/unless death has occurred.

Would anybody inherit a login for the forum and then use it to edit tags as per a will? That really would be a first 

This might be something worth considering as there is a method to the madness  

You must have been one of the first to have a total clear out of the list. I recall one other member doing so a couple of years ago.

Will you ever get round to rebuilding it or has the current state of play at how badly the system is broken keeping it a low priority?

Everybody is expressing their views and each has their own reasons for doing so.

I mentioned in a different thread the feedback, trust and merit system needs a complete overhaul.

After looking at how several cliques and trolls manipulate the system to suit their own agenda, it still clear it cannot continue as it currently does yet still be considered as an appropriate barometer because it quote clearly is not.

I think it is right that human rights is highlighted as an issue of major significance when these types of international events take place. It allows messages to be sent out to a massive audience. Others such as Lahm can make their point by boycotting.

I do think Qatar addressed a lot of the criticism and complaints when it was challenged about the labourers that were working on the stadiums, they improved pay and conditions but people have their own views on what subjects should be prioritised. Maybe Kane will talk about one thing and Lloris another and Eriksen another...

Those adding and removing after they were banned is something that is allowed in the rules otherwise it would not be allowed, therefore he did it to suit his needs as he tried to battle to have his ban overturned. The issue is: should it be allowed?

Keeping the ban aside, his suspected alt-accounts have also played their part in open or subtle ways too. He is not the only one there are too many members that have manipulated the trust system for a long time.

A couple of years ago there was a massive push from members of a particular language board (that I will not name) trying to become merit source as well as on DT. A lot of manipulation and nonsense was going on that time then after several months it subsided.

This user was trying to use his account to climb up the ladder as soon as possible in order to jump on signature campaigns and was willing to become pals with any and all for it. Now that the account is banned he will have to create some others in order join signature campaigns.. probably already has alt-accounts.

Ah well, imagine living a punishment filled eternity in the hereafter just for leaving a negative feedback 

Seriously though, there is no chance anything can happen to that trust/feedback because the only way to remove it would be for the someone to log in to that account and remove/edit it and since the person would be deceased it is highly unlikely to happen unless multiple people share those login detailed.
