After stalking at inbizin's profile and merit history I found out that xandry (staff in Russian board) almost gave 103 Merits to inbizin' s posts (almost all of posts that received merits has been deleted) in the last 120 days. I don't know if this is a fair distribution of Merits but I smell something fishy around here.  Roll Eyes

Sorry for interrupting OP.

This. I use this a lot and it is definitely NOT a new feature. I am shocked that people just came to know about this. But nonetheless, now that your curiosity is solved, you know what to do. Wink
Got it  Wink

Thank you guys for all of your replies. Locking the thread now.

Fixing this kind of issue immediately will save the Meta section from these shitposters. Spammers are now having good time posting shitposts here in meta section and it is starting to be their hobby as shitposts are being generated here daily. We can't just let this problem get any worse.

I can't recommend any solution for now but maybe moderators has something to do with it. This is a serious problem.

(phone lagging)
Seriously, that's enough. I think this is time to take some action about that, we don't want the only decent board to become another shitposters-beggers place. It is kind of sick to find each day these kinds of posts, please mods, seriously, do not let the Meta board become another crap one.
Maybe we need to be more active in reporting threads like this one in order to make our point.
I agree. This is a serious threat, it's more likely virus is starting to spread through all boards of this forum. Moderators should not disregard this situation.

Yes sir, im considering this bounty as a work. Because this is my bread and butter for my family.
Oh NO, that is wrong Mister. You should have atleast try to look for a real job in the real world. I understand your situation as I also used to earn money here but we are too different. I do earn money by the right way and you do it by the wrong way. Don't just rely on this forum to feed your family, with that kind of attitude, I feel that you're a very lazy man.

 And now my phone is lagging horribly.

Do you mind taking a look at mine? Beside bounty never-ending reports, I've got some serious posts though.
By looking at your post history, like OP I also gave up scrolling after seeing lot of bounty reports. I don't even know if you still got some good post remaining to challenge seoincorporation to review your posts. You will only end up reported with what you were doing.

Yep. I've reported this. This is annoying to see how the meta board is becoming a shitposter's begging place... PLease, mods, take some action...
Yeah, it's not really fair that even Meta section is now getting compromised by shitposters. Meta section is the only place I usually hang out as discussions are pretty good here but these days, shitposters are starting to conquer it.

Wow, that was a big hit. My phone almost get lag after quoting it  Cheesy I really can't believe these guys.
It takes my phone about 6 seconds scrolling, unbelievable quote.

Another guy complaining about Merit System Smiley
How can you be able to receive merits? And how can you be able to create a good quality of post if you won't even try? Just look at your post, it's way too horrible to give Merit any of them.
I gave up scrolling after seeing those bounty reports. Try to contribute by making good post sometimes buddy, posts like what I saw in your post history will keep you Jr. Member forever.
387  Other / Meta / Is this a new feature of the forum? on: July 04, 2018, 04:11:33 PM
Is this a new feature of the forum? I've just noticed this little icon (in the picture below)
and your post will show up like this


I think it's a Quick Edit of your post. I don't know if this is already been here for days, month or years but I only noticed it today. If you guys don't know it yet, just go to one of your post and you will find it in the right side of it. I searched about "quick reply" of this forum but I cannot find any discussions about it that's why maybe this is new.
If you already knew it and it's already here for a long time (since the beginning), shame on me for bringing this up.

Just sharing and I just wanted to ask if this is new. I will lock this thread immediately once my curiosity is been answered.

388  Other / Meta / Re: Will the merit system be removed by BTT in future? on: July 04, 2018, 03:22:20 PM
I have the basic answer to your question. NO, Merit System will not be remove no matter how many times you make complaints about it. If you don't like Merits System, then it is much better if YOU will be the one who will be remove. if you wanna stay, then please, for your own sake, stop making nonsense threads like these. People will only hate you because of what you're doing. Geeez.
389  Other / Meta / Re: Merit source applications of senior members.... on: July 04, 2018, 09:21:48 AM
By giving people an incentive to vouch for him, it's possible users vouch for him just to earn Merit. I don't know if this has happened or will happen in the future, but it's a conflict I wouldn't want to risk.
I got your point and there is no reason for me to disagree. It's just sad that the first candidate from our local board will be denied because of his own mistake. Well, I can't do anything to change the situation, it's already done, it's just up to theymos whether to accept his application or not. But still, wishing him luck.

Thanks for explaining LoyceV.

Hi buddy, you should check this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4596160.0
I'm defending your side here but I need answers from you. Check it out bud.
391  Other / Meta / Re: Merit source applications of senior members.... on: July 04, 2018, 08:41:02 AM
But I saw on his thread he was given some merit for reply and that was not big. I think it's not much problem. Even it's look not fine.  But I think it will not prevent him to become merit source if his other condition is fine.
I agree.
You should tell this on his thread and not here.
I agree as well. This should be somehow discussed in his thread as the candidate really needs feedbacks from all of you.
Agreed. This is a conflict of interest.
But I'm pretty sure theymos will notice this too, when considering his application.

When I had my Merit source application open, I made it a point to never Merit any of the posts in that thread.
I'm one of the candidate's supporter who received merit from him from my post in his application thread but I didn't expect that he will Merit it. If it really is a conflict of interest then it would be a problem right? But in my own opinion, I can't see something wrong about it (but I can't deny if there really is something wrong). Well, he's still not a Merit Source that's why I believe that maybe he can still change it.
OP this is a good topic to discuss but we should discuss this in his thread. Maybe?
You said it, not me.  If the person showing the appreciation disregards the obvious conflict of interest, then that's a problem.  If it were me applying to be a merit source, it would be obvious that I shouldn't give merits to those who were supporting my application in my thread.  That's a bad use of merits; I would expect a potential merit source to know that; and I wouldn't support a candidate who did that.
Hmm. I see. Well, it's seems like most of you are against the candidate and I have no reason to argue. I can see no bad intentions from him and I believe that he can fulfil his responsibility as a Merit Source once he's been granted.
It's up to theymos if he will be given the opportunity of becoming a Merit Source and as a fellow citizen, I will keep lending my support.
392  Other / Meta / Re: Special Hero question on: July 04, 2018, 07:49:47 AM
My account being a perfect example here. I had 1000 default merit and I think activity as same as the OP but I did not reach the legendary rank. Like you said it's random when one becomes a legendary while activity being in the scale of 950-1030.
I never saw Hero member ranked up to Legendary lately (or I just missed them). Looks like Mr. Joel_Jantsen is the first one from Hero to Legendary who will rank up in time. Congratulating you as well Mr.
But, I really thought you're already a Legendary, I often saw your posts but I never noticed that your still a Hero, maybe it's because the number of Activity and Merits attracts my eyes that's why I thought you're a Legendary.
By the way, I don't know if you're a moderator or not but the way you help the forum is more similar to a Moderator. I acknowledged such persons like you.

To OP, sorry if I'm off-topic. But I would like to tell you something since I already posted here. Just try to reach the amount of Merits required and I can assure you that you will rank up without worrying the activity Smiley  You still have 430 merits to go but you will have no trouble receiving it as I can sense that you are also one good poster.

I'm not sure what benefits there are with being a legendary
There might be no such benefits, but ranking to Legendary with Merit System will Somehow represent that you have been rewarded Smiley

Sir Jet, I would like to be the person to give you your 1000th merit if ever that you already have 999. I will be keeping an eye to your Merit points starting now. Please don't ask me why.  Tongue
393  Other / Meta / Re: Please get the TwitBook threads off the newbie board. on: July 04, 2018, 07:10:29 AM
Do bots really post here on the forum? I just can't belive that people can post so useless things in any topic...
What if we implement a recaptcha for e.g. a week, for every post? If it's only a week, I won't care much... This way we could analyze if it has any effect on the post count, so we could hopefully get the answer for the bot question...
How if Newbies and Jr. Members (I chose Newbies and Jr. Members because they are often used in bounties and spamming) need to recaptcha everytime when they will post? This will somehow give them hard time posting and also to stop bots account.

Newbies are having good time posting/spamming in the forum with just 360 seconds time interval which is equal to 240 post per day, how if they will solve a captcha first before posting their post? I'm sure that they will be annoyed but it is for the forum's sake, let's just see if this idea will somehow decrease spams.

What you guys think?
394  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: [MATUTO] Paano gumawa ng SIGNATURE using BBCodes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 on: July 04, 2018, 06:44:20 AM
Wow, you got a nice thread buddy. Actually I been working at making signature before but because I'm a little busy at other stuffs, I didn't make it to become a Signature designer to start a service. I just found this thread by stalking at your posts which are actually "good posts" and so glad that I made to see this one. I'm studying a lot of Signature guides before but this thread of yours have some additional important details and much better to understand since its Tagalog.

This is way too helpful bud, I will try to make some Signatures again sometime. I just wished that thesis doesn't exist at college life, although I'm not yet starting in our project, thinking and worrying about how to start it made me feel so old.

Also I'm willing to accept this challenge if ever that your still expecting for someone to make cool signatures, but I can't assure you that I can make one before 2018 ends Smiley

I'll give merit for those who make Signature na pinakamaganda for the effort!

Hey buddy, please stop quoting the whole thread next time. It doesn't look good.

This proves that we Filipino are really active in this forum. If you guys (from different country) will only visit our local board you will be able to find out that there are lot of quality posts and active discussions out there that deserves a lot of merits as well, but lacking of sources. This Merit Source applicant from Philippines have good intentions that's why I hope Admin won't hesitate to accept our applicant's application.
We may have Dabs and rickbig41 as merits source but they're also pretty busy at moderating that's why we understand their infrequent presence of distributing Merits. I'm sure that even our moderator will support our applicant.

We will be waiting for update Admins.

Am I that red tagged member you are showing as an example to people? I think that's me with -32 negative trust score. well you should know that they are all false and I have never scammed anybody unlike many people walking with green trust. good luck though.
Gender, age and the amount of Negative Trust points matched that's why I can assure that it was you. But don't worry digaran, Im sure that finaleshot2016 has no bad intentions for doing such things, he just included it for example. I wonder why finaleshot2016 didn't use Quickseller's negative trust points since he/she has more points than you (no offence Sir/Ma'am).
396  Other / Meta / Re: Request: add bitcointalk.TO to [phishing] list on: July 03, 2018, 12:38:55 PM
Today is the first time I hear .to is a phishing site, and this is one of the reasons, it always pops up in Google, I always thought it was just a backup copy of the forum or a mobile version. I was wondering why I get logged out each time.
iasenko was right, if ever that you've logged-in in that site, you should change your password immediately. There are lot of Phishing sites out there waiting for victims, this ".to" domain of Bitcointalk is not alone. You should be very careful about clicking links and always check if you are in the right link. Bookmarking Bitcointalk.org will somehow save your account.
I have discussed ".to" phishing site before. Here's the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4476010.msg40187218#msg40187218
Try to visit it if you have sometime.
397  Other / Meta / Re: Application For Merit Source [Philippines Local Board] on: July 03, 2018, 12:16:21 PM
I'm so glad that finally, someone here from Philippines is applying as a Merit Source. Just few things buddy, your application might get accepted but are you sure that you can take full responsibility as a Merit Source? Our local board really need Merits source but, it will be seriously difficult.

But don't worry, you have some spirit. That's why I will support your application. When you become a Merit Source, maybe you should quit posting in Megathreads Smiley

Being a Merit Source is not only about distributing merits, it's also to be an inspiration to everyone by making good things, and this "good things" should start with you. By the way, Goodluck buddy. I'm willing to support you. You will be the first Merits source from the history of Philippines in Bitcointalk Smiley
398  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: [TUTORIAL] METAMASK NEW! on: July 02, 2018, 01:37:58 AM
This thread is worth of meriting. I'm not too related about this "Metamask" as I didn't use this yet but after seeing this one, I will bookmark it and give it a try. Nice thread buddy, you've explained everything as clear as possible and your thread looks so clean.

I suggest you to use "self moderated" whenever your going to create threads like this to prevent unwanted replies. Spam replies will make your thread looks so messy.

399  Other / Meta / Re: Another nullius is rising! on: July 02, 2018, 12:28:47 AM
Or maybe just another alt account used for spamming. Look at his/her post history, they're way too horrible compared to nullius (who is the real Genius at all time). Also look at his/her post (the one that received a lot of merits) it doesn't contain anything worth of meriting. It's more likely he received merits for just advertising this "nessi.io". But, from seoincorporation's "post ratings" it will past "not bad" in my taste.

I have some doubts that one of these people who sent merits to that account is the real owner of this nessie.io account. By looking at the profile of his/her merit senders, you will something suspicious after visiting at this one.

But I'm not so sure and I'm not accusing anyone. I just smell something fishy.

Edit.
mdayonliner, you should change the topic title to "nullius be like is rising"  Grin
400  Other / Meta / Re: Merit Drying Up? on: July 02, 2018, 12:04:37 AM
Some of the high rank members don't want to give some merits because they're happy farming bounties. They forget where they started (local) so they're living happily with their money.
As a fellow citizen, I will speak for the sake of our fellow High ranked Members. How can you assure that they're not giving merits? Just because you can't see anyone from our local high rank members distributing merits in posts in our local board? Yeah it's a little bit unfair but I'm sure that they still distribute their merits, maybe not to us from our local but in other members of this forum from different country. I think it will be too much unfair if they only give merits to members from our local board whilst there are people in other places who deserves merits as well. Distributing merits doesn't depend on what country or local board you belong, it depends on the quality of posts of members who will be distributed.
Also, you should consider what Mr. Joel_Jantsen said.

Quote
This is also a problem in our local, there are many good posters there and sharing facts and ideas but few people gives merits.
They didn't know that it is hard to create contents and they didn't support each other.
But I do agree to this one. Yeah, there are really some good posts/threads in our local board that takes (I guess) days to complete but only receives less than 5 Merits (which is somehow enough I guess, but posters have different expectations of number of merits they're expecting to receive). They are very informative, unique and full of effort as well. But don't worry, as long as I have sMerits to send, I won't hesitate to merit it.

I'm afraid that I may not fulfill my full responsibility if happens that I became a merit source. I don't really like failures from my own hands, that's why I'll pass from it.
