The forum is here from November 2009, Now we are soon November 2018... so for 9 years many have left the ship and all together with the farm/bot/spam/scam accounts got banned, 13% is quite a good number. Keep in mind that even the creator left the ship back in the day.

Best proof I can provide (based on public posts and not private messages) is this. 1. Back in the early days of Ethereum we were playing around with simple smart contracts, building pyramids and lotteries for each other, playing around with various rules and mechanisms etc. 2. Back then I have created this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1436754.msg14637462#msg146374623. As you can see, there is this smart contract mentioned in this post: http://etherscan.io/address/0xa864694cACDf27900aFB3c32b1B07Aea3C465dDe#internaltx4. As you can see in the block explorer, the creator of this smart contract is this address: https://etherscan.io/address/0x97eedb324b5ab7ddd100d027e990a05037e61b375. And yes, I still have the keys in one of my backups and can use them to do whatever is necessary to prevent the person from exploiting the account further. -----BEGIN ETHEREUM SIGNED MESSAGE----- My account Qiuyue201 has been hacked/lost.

You can change the Subject line, to something like this, "My original account was hacked, I signed a message, DTs please tag it." I left a negative trust to the account, but this won't affect his trust score.
@coinlocket$ There was an extra space in the hash signature, I've removed it manually and all is good

I see in your post history that you have posted some addresses back in 2016. Can you sign a message from an address you have posted here in the past? It's a way to get your account at least tagged and probably useless for the scammer, he may also be willing to give it back if it's not worth it anymore.

I don't think there is much change, some bans just take time and some just slip through. If you find another plagiarised post - report again. Or find another Legendary to point your fury at Also might be partially my fault. I've been reporting a lot of posts lately while testing my antipasta script so there is probably quite a bit of backlog for the few global mods. I guess I'll dig a little more and find more evidence, so we gonna see what happens.
Another case, this time is not a Legend, just a Jr. coming closer to Member I was about to give merit to but some of the posts are a bit suspicious. I really hope he wrote them based on his knowledge and not the ability to copy/spin/paste the text. I try searching for phrases but didn't find anything similar, maybe someone can give it a try. Scalability is a word that should most likely have come across on our journey into cryptocurrency.
Scalability is the ability of a system to conviniently expand and accommodate growth and increase in scale
A basic example would be the human stomach, it's an organ that comfortably expands to accommodate as much food as we can take in, and never does it get to point that stomach all the way to oesophagus gets filled and we can take in no more.
Scalability issue is faced in may technologies and businesses and it comes in different forms and the blockchain technology, more specifically, the bitcoin blockchain technology, is not an exception.
Unlike the human system which disposes of food as waste, every transaction made on the blockchain is stored on the system. Bitcoin transactions operate on a POW algorithm and are confirmed by miners, who compete individually for the confirmation of the next block in the chain until the transaction is completed. The block size is 1MB, and that's the amount of transactions that can be stored in it.
~snip~
Bitcoin has evolved on different frontiers over the years; project development, value, public opinion, government interest, and of course there's the nay sayers constantly puzzled while it's still existing and always predicting it's end.
Early days (2009 - 2010) Bitcoin did not always receive this attention, it was launched in January of 2009, by Satoshi Nakamoto few months after the domain name bitcointalk.org was registered. Most of its users then we're tech inclined individuals some who did it for fun as a hobby
Bitcoin had it's first ROI in mid 2010 as it gained parity with the USD. After then it experienced a steady rise in users and the community started to grow. The first major setback came in August 2010 when an error in the system which allows users bypass economic restrictions was exploited and 184 bitcoins was generated.
~snip~
Here he mentioned only one source > Bitcoin is often referred to as a currency. And the general name 'cryptocurrency' giving to all digital assets presents them as currencies although having a deeper meaning, hence cryptic currencies~snip~ What are the limitations of bitcoin? Bitcoin as a payment option faces a huge problems in government restrictions, adoption limitations and scalability. With its tps being in the range of 3.3 to 7 transactions per second it can hardly compete with government controlled forms of transactions like VISA with an average of 47,000 tps. But bitcoin was not created to compete but rather serve as an alternative to fiat currencies (and maybe commodity money also) and give users total control over their assets. Though with such a growing community there has been lots of suggestions on how to tackle the scale limitations. And many propositions this far, such as hardforks and Segregated witness, popularly called segwit https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Amp/Segregated_WitnessBitcoin Cash which was launched last year increased a blocksize to 7MB. There is still yet to be a consensus to approve Segwit.

Why didn't you lock your account when the scammer got a control over it? Was your email compromised too?
There is a procedure to go trough at least to get the account locked/tagged, but you need to provide some proof that you are the creator/owner of the account before the scammer took over.

So you got "bad" reports on those shitposters, I got a good report on a Legendary plagiarism case, but the guy didn't get banned til now. I don't know what is going on but I seems like the mods are changing the old strict behaviour with a more liberal one. Maybe they got some new instructions from theymos. Reading his last post regards the merit and DTs is a bit of a changer ... Well, it appears that your source merit either wasn't upped to 250 a month ago like me, or you are just letting it expire. Theymos gave me instructions to try and do my best to distribute all of it. I'm doing the best that I can; yet have already had complaints. I really despise this statistic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendban Now I am on the list that appears to point out merit abuse suspects. I was originally very honored to become a merit source. But now I feel that my reputation is at stake with every single merit that I am obligated to distribute. I know that I only have black trust at the moment. However, I keep checking my trust rating to make sure some DT member doesn't decide to red tag me because they feel that I am being "abusive" or derelict in my duty. If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. 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. If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer. 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. The topsendban list is just a first indication of abuse, and many excellent people are on it. Your place on there acts as a sort of benchmark: eg. chandra12 has a similar score there, but whereas you are an extremely active merit-giver with a diverse selection of posts merited (most of which anyone would agree with), chandra12 only has two large merit sends. His behavior in comparison to yours while having a similar topsendban score is what creates a strong abuse impression. I appreciate the work of you and other sources who take it seriously!

That's quite a number, I hope we can get a better statistics with the BPIP. Vod is collecting a lot of stats.

He is still not banned, wonder why? Are there different standards for plagiarism??

There was something wonky with that formula. I think theymos actually halved those sMerits. I had max activity and I got 200 and I don't know of anyone else who got more than that.
No, was 400 for a Legendary with max activity, see the following quote as reference. read some posts above someone already posted the theymos's quote. Is possible that are you remembering wrong or are you 100% sure about it? So the most you could get is if you were a Legendary who maxed out your activity points in the last year, in which case you would get 1 * 0.4 * 1000 = 400 sMerit.
LoyceV also complained about not getting the max points, so I don't really know if someone got 400 airdropped sMerit at all.

Профита е много нисък и много напуснаха криптото.
Е, то и преди като имаше профит пак нямаше хора тук, така че едва има кой знае какво значение.

I just wonder how they are able to remove all the traces. Normally someone somewhere should qoute you at least once for all those 500 comments. If they post only in one megathread and it gets deleted is the other option. Crazy...

I have to post this here > The credit for this goes to morvillz7z, he found this piece of art... I'm not sure why you haven't been merited yet: Thank you si for your genital help but I have a team who write an article I did not write the article.

If I remember correctly, the "fix" was that the meriting page pops up in a new window, and you just need to close it after giving the merit. well, it's not the best solution but it works for me. I was also "victim" of the double meriting issue in the beginning.

Според мен сме малко. А на копането му се види края.
E края не, ама ще е в застой известно време. Пазара има какво още да предложи. Ще почакаме и ще видим.

In the link that was given by LoyceV, you have 4 snapshots of the profile > https://web.archive.org/web/20160127022427/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346430on 27th of Jan 2016 he had Name: Rollin.io Posts: 702 Activity: 602 Position: Hero Member Date Registered: June 21, 2014, 10:35:27 AM Last Active: January 26, 2016, 11:07:35 PM On 26th Nov. 2017 ha had Name: Rollin.io Posts: 550 Activity: 550 Position: Legendary Date Registered: June 21, 2014, 10:35:27 AM Last Active: November 23, 2017, 08:22:07 PM One a bit off-topic question which should be directed to theymos > If you de-rank from a Legendary to Hero (of course, if this is possible) in order to rank back up do you need to reach the same activity as the first time or it's again a random number between 775-1030?

Yes, I still believe that this information is not justified. We all speak and write in the same language, and it happens that people agree in opinion and it is quite logical that presenting his thought, the texts may be similar.
Anyway, I can assure you that you are not going to get your account back, there are enough hard evidence.

I saw this message and did not reply to it, but to the mainconcept message. I find the information he presented to be unsubstantiated.
Have you copied the message? You did - fact. Do we have the proof of the message you copied and the original? Yes, we have -fact. ( and archived too) Did the moderators banned you based on pure facts ? Yes, they did - fact. You have facts but you still claim that the information he presented to be unsubstantiated

But I did not copy the text from this information source. They don't match 100%, do they?
It doesn't matter. You copied it, it's plagiarism. It seems logical to me that words can be repeated and people's thoughts too . I believe that plagiarism are posts that are completely the sameDidn't you see this > ~ Copy: It should be borne in mind that Bitcoin, in fact, is deflationary, since there is a strict limit on the issue of coins of this payment system. The total amount of issued crypto currency will be 21 million digital tokens. In the case of Ether, we are talking about inflation, since the annual release of these funds reaches 18 million coins. Thus, if we consider this money in the long run, the price of Ethereum coins will fall, and the demand for Bitcoin will increase.
