Wrong link with wrong amount of merits.

Happy Anniversary Bitcointalk.

I wish I could join here earlier before investing in cryptocurrency. I would not face such kinda loss. I have learned a lot and still learning. I never had familiarized with a lot of things regarding crypto investment before joining the forum.

If you search, you will get more than listed below.

Longevity, We are here just because of the longevity of some members. If they don't deserve to be Legendary, theymos definitely put some restrictions. Back in the day, the scenario was totally different. Most of the persons used to join the forum with the interest of learning about bitcoin, having some updates about bitcoins or learning about cryptocurrency. Their posts were objectively high quality because they didn't post for fulfilling signature requirements. Why most of the boards are full of shits now? Mostly because of the signature campaign, otherwise, merit system was not implemented, IMO.

What if demerit existed and it was free to give-

If I am not wrong, your article is full of only facebook and twitter reports.

Yeah, you are very active with activities. You have till now made 456 reports posts but didn't get 1 merit. This is your first post without the shit social campaign reports if I am correct. How can you expect to get merit with those?

So, your normal way of contribution is-
Announcement (Altcoins)
Bounties (Altcoins)
Token (Altcoins)

Sometimes, your posts go with your username too.
pump=bump, some posts are looking like a clear bump.
How else you do contribute 

As per the report, you and a bunches of accounts were posting the airdrop link in various sections. I am not sure whether you have been banned for this reason or not.
 If you are banned for this only,I think there is a misunderstanding (barely can happen, I never have seen) since you have said that you have posted in a thread where airdrops link are posted.
Wait for output from a moderator.

99% people may come here for the only purpose of earning here. But, in general, what the forum is about? Having discussion on cryptocurrency although the start was with bitcoin only. Here, there are a lot of users from around the world.
Earlier, I have seen someone saying s/he had bitcoin from 2012, which he mined for a cost of $2. We have a lot of things learn from those users.
Well, what was the vision of Satoshi Nakamoto? Bitcoin as a p2p currency, not an investment opportunity. And that's why the legends joined here. Our goal also should be the same.

I think you have missed the title, or you didn't read the OP. The word "free" was mentioned in both title and in OP.

For your info, there is no way of deleting an account in bitcointalk. You only can forget your email address same as OP.
In addition, there has no problem with owning multiple accounts. It's allowed here.
I will show you some here.
hilariousetc alt of hilariousandco
LoyceMobile alt of LoyceV
JetAid alt of Jet Cash
Thus a lot of user have alt accounts here. People should use alt in a fair way. That's it.

I noticed it earlier. And later, someone created a thread, afaik. It's a while it has been added. Can't believe how you have missed it.

Thank you for the corrections. I was in misconception about the 2nd one.
Fixed and updated OP.

Anyone who gets confused with understanding DT system may ask question here. I also request to check the link included below where DT system has been explained as well.

Use another site other than imgur. You can use imgbb. There is a problem with imgur.

Also, you may try refreshing your cache. It may also work. Press ctrl + f5 and your cache will be refreshed.

Check the page again and I believe there is a way to wear the copper membership manually.


#Edit
Welcome always. By the way, you could have it without creating a new thread. There are some threads where people asked about this issue and the same answer was provided by other members.

Can you please lock the thread?

New update by theymos- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156.0
It will be better if you check the update after understanding this thread.
Link to original- Marketplace trust

Earlier I made an explanation on how trust score is calculated. And requested LoyceV to add that one to his [GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?).
A part of his reply-
And I am inspired to explain how DT System Works.

Senior people know how it works while newbie always gets confused. Sometimes, some senior member is also confused although it's quite simple. A lot of time people had replied with an answer on how DT system works. I have searched for a dedicated thread where OP has easily explained the DT system but didn't get one which is really friendly for the newbie.

So, let me write it easily so that newbie can understand it easily.

Before going to the explanation, I would like to discuss a little about feedback. In the forum, everyone can give a feedback on other member's profile. But, if you check someone's profile, not all of his/her feedback is shown on the profile page.
Let me give an example.
I have given negative feedback on Danydee's profile. If you check his profile, you will not see my feedback. Because I am not in your trust list. Now, include me on your trust list (Just for checking the feedback, later you may exclude). For including someone to your trust list,
Go to- Trust settings
You will see a blank space where only DefaultTrust is written, it's by default. Anyway, put my username there and click on update. Now, again visit Danydee's profile, you will see the negative feedback now.
By the way, those can also be seen by clicking on untrusted feedback on user's profile.

What is DT?
DT stands for DefaultTrust. Well, in fact, DefaultTrust is an account of the forum managed by admin. In your trust list, DefaultTrust is trusted by default. You can include/exclude anyone from your trust list though.
So, we got what is DT 0, you can also say list of people whom you trust.

Now, if DefaultTrust includes you on his trust list, you will be DT-1 member. If any DT-1 member includes you in his trust list, you will be DT-2 member.
If theymos wants to include someone to DT-1 list, theymos includes that person in DefaultTrust’s trust list.
Now, if DT-1 members include someone in his/her trust list, that person becomes DT-2. I have already used an example. Again, for example, a DT-1 member has included user ‘X’ in his trust list, so he/she becomes DT-2 but if another two DT-1 members exclude ‘X’ from his trust list, ‘X’ will no longer be in DT-2.

Feedback
Since you are trusting DefaultTrust by default, you are trusting all the DT-1 ad DT-2 members by default. It’s simple, if you trust your friend, and your friend trusts another guy, logically you are trusting that another guy.
But you can still exclude a member from your trust list. For example, you don’t trust DT-1 member ‘X’, go to your trust setting. In the box write tilde (~) and the DT-1 member name whom you don’t want to trust. It’s like {~X}. Or, if you don't want to trust anyone, simple put ~ before DefaultTrust.
Now if user DT-1 member 'X' gives someone a feedback, you will not see it by default.

Summary:
In trust setting, all those are mentioned as below-
Depth 0, the list of people who are included in your trust list.
Depth 1, the list of people who are trusted by Depth 0.
Depth 2, the list of people are trusted by Depth 1.

It seems enough for understanding the DT system. If someone else is still missing, feel free to ask question.
Thank you.

I will add here some replies in which DT system have been explained.

Update-

How to be DT1 member:

Special Thanks:
SFR10

Exactly, the one from theymos is also easier but people have to look quite deeply if they don't have any idea about if/else. That's why I have thought to explain it in easier language.

Well, I will do one within tomorrow. I have to find out whether there is an easier explanation.

Edit-
[Explained] How DT system works

Earlier the post was in reputation, now you have moved it to meta? Wasn't reputation the correct board? Why have you moved it here, btw? I don't see any reason to move it.

For those people who are selling now, an example-
Bought @ $10k, price is going down and down, sold @$5k. Then, BTC started to gain price again. OMG, it's $8k, it's the bullrun. Bought @$8k. Price is now @$10k. Let's wait. Let me recover my previous loss. And price is again at @$6k. Fuck, I messed up. I should sell @$10k. Sold @$6k. And the chain will be continued, it will never end. Yeah, that's what is happening. By the way, I didn't invest too much and that's why I am still sitting on the boat easily. The universal truth-
"Only invest if you can afford to lose it."

Theymos didn't mention such kinda rule that you have to put reference link for providing feedback. I don't think theymos will do it in future.
However, there are some guidelines but those are not specific rules.
Trust system is not moderated unless someone extremly abuses the system, therefore, anyone can leave a feedback. For example, I got a negative feedback from a stupid without a single reason.

By the way, I do strongly believe that there are a bunches of thread regarding this issue. You should check those before creating a new thread so that you could get the output without creating a thread.

#Edit
I request you to read OP and about trust system.

Merit is being distributed properly. If you take a look at the ranked up members, you will learn.
Those who are not good at English, the forum has local boards too. Afaik, we doo have some merit sources from various local section and they are active in the local boards too. So, people who are not good at English can post on their respective local board. I do think they will get merit if they become active and post quality content in local.
