I stumbled upon this post: Most of the receiving accounts now have exactly 10 Merit points: TasarrcentrfutoplakveKjaraconsicurAZVALUdrujeszamilxparetolsALMAZ76caporwinkAlthough it doesn't guarantee they're all in on it, it's very unlikely this is a coincidence. It seems like an account farmer is ranking up his Jr. Member accounts (some have reached Member rank already). He's trying to hide his trail by sending small amounts of Merit from different accounts. There's more than reasonable doubt in that case. All those accounts need to be exterminated. Unfortunately, they do not seem to have posted any(?) addresses yet. Waiting for the administration to handle this is almost equal to waiting for fictional gods to save you. |

To combat some of the lower quality content promotion posts, several campaign managers have instituted a 'vip tier' with pre-vetted outlets. Is this something you're doing with your bounty campaigns?
That does not actually do anything against spam, even though they'd like to think it does. Therefore, (usually) no. |

Based on this idiotic thread, I think that I should increase the merit requirement for Full Member and above by another 1-2 hundred. Stop opening threads and asking reasonably stupid questions, such as this one: For clarification, do managers have to hire applicants with merits in a must or not?
Nice merit farm you've created over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827352.0. I can't believe how many users fell for that. |

Why so? Because you guys just want to rank up in a few days? Gone are the days where you could spam the forum with your vomitted half-English oneliners and get ranked up. Start making quality contribution to the forum and engage the people here. Otherwise forget about ranking up.
I guess you are taking his suggestion in wrong way. He suggested that if there are two members making quality posts, they can merit each others post. It does not mean they are involved or are trying to game the merit system. That is also known as merit trading. This is especially dangerous for members who have a lot of posts. Somewhere in there, even if the poster is average, there will be posts that deserve merit. If you find someone who will merit your post(s), only if you merit their, then both of you deserve negative ratings. |

You're not the only one.  |

oh man.. I remember hanging out the other night with Lauda and damn.. some fine catnip indeed!!  -snip- You did not have to doxx me.  -snip-
If not, I'll update this post later with ">24 hours and still no source or information PMd by QS - must be fake"
And take no further action? |

I don't know how so many people missed BitcoinX (BCX). You should definitely add it to the list: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoinx/. The ratio is 10 000:1, which makes the price an effective $135 per Bitcoin owned right now. The people who managed to *redeem* and sell this early on managed to score $350-400 per Bitcoin. It was also rather trivial to do if you have a place to sync their Core fork. Unfortunately, I don't have enough VM-space to sync their blockchain, so I can't test it. As a temporary, one time work around: You could collect keys that need to be used. Import all of them. Sync a pruned BitcoinX node. Obviously, this is very inefficient but in certain cases it will work out (e.g. if you only want to dump your own BitcoinX). Diamond, Super and BitcoinX can be deposited on Gate.io the last time I checked (it might have changed recently though), so you might want to add a link to that.
I didn't test Gate.io after reading many scam accusations. Have you been able to successfully use it? For those three forks, it worked out without issues. I have not used them for anything else however. |

Can i know why those account didn't get tagged yet for cheating/abusing bounties even though i have provided valid proofs?
Because I am not a robot and have a lot of things to do. I'll get to it eventually, hopefully. Hi,
are you saying that someone got hold of your account details and used your account without your knowledge?
I am not buying the story. |

Merit is useless if an account has negative trust, the main reason why merit feature was implemented for the sake of good posting In a constructive quality post for participating campaigns and for the contribution of information in this forum. decision is upon the shoulder of superiors.
Correct. Giving someone who has negative ratings merit is just a waste of those points. Now that "Merit" has been introduced into the forum in other to encourage high quality posts of members, would that have any positive effect on members who might have received negative trust as a result of shitpost and not scam accusation? Particularly if they receive "Merit" on their current post base on the high quality as compared to what their post use to be in the past.
Maybe it's destroy shit posting but scammers still with legendaries accounts and still promotion their shit scam projects. Administration fights against spams but not with fraud! Scams are not moderated. The trust system and DT members are there to tackle those problems, but keep in mind that they do not need to should they not want to. |

Well i've posted in Telegram as well and nothing . . . starting to doubt i'll get my refund to be honest.
You really need to be patient. The more times you needlessly post somewhere, the more this gets delayed. Every minute spent reading messages could have been spent otherwise. |

Well it is too bad that I am saying that I have a source that says you have a pill addiction. You are not disputing this claim, so it appears that based on the preponderance of the evidence presented, you have a pill addiction...
There is no evidence[1], which is why I'm insisting on seeing either chat logs or this *source*. prepoderence of the evidence- WTH?
I legitimately facepalmed when I read that part.
[1] If the story about the various chat rooms were true, then there is undeniably at least *some* evidence. Given that it isn't, and there isn't, OP will not provide anything. |

I will never understand why you have such a negative attitude to me i already told you its a new year and that i am not being shady anymore. So how can i believe you?
I don't think I ever intentionally removed a negative rating on someone who tried to sell/purchase a new account, especially not if they have other negative ratings. |

It seems that Lauda is not interested in denying he is addicted to and/or abusing drugs. Very interesting indeed...
Of course not. Well, I guess others can interpret the lack of a denial/dispute themselves. I do not have to explain myself to you should I not want to. Until there is any kind of evidence that would nullify the senselessness of this smear campaign, we can talk. Also, if you fail to provide anything in due time, I expect some other DT members to act accordingly here. I doubt they'll be any evidence provided by your source and once the source can't show any evidence to back up the claims should probably come under investigation themselves after trying to slander someones name with malicious intent.

Of course not. I needn't dispute anything that's based on hearsay from a basement dweller. Wake me up once there are logs or the *mysterious source* shows up. -snip-
Why is Lauda so important for you that you open an new topic?
Every time i am bored i eat some popcorn and visit these subforums and have some fun reading all the stuff posted there.
The answer is up in my bolded part of the previous paragraph. Once they get busted, since they have no apparent life that is worth anything otherwise, they go on a vendetta. |

You know.. there was this one theory that aTriz = Decoded. I think there was also aTriz = Decoded = Darkstar, although I am not sure. Based on the overwhelming evidence that aTriz == Lauda, that would effectively make you my alt and thus you are merit farming. Shame on you! |

If one person complains about you, this person might be wrong. But when 1000 people complain about you...
The number of people that I have left a negative rating for (or better put, *number of users*) is now well over 1000. Therefore, all those slanderous butthurt threads are meaningless. |

However, we are not discussing like adults, you are spreaded this shit in public.
This is also a lie. All I did was participate in the scam accusation discussion. You are the one who started a thread. You do not understand why i say you live off anger and misery? It's obvious, because you pick fights and start drama with multiple people, everyday. Just cuz you feel it is your duty.
Leaving negative trust =/= starting drama. If you actually put some thought behind your claims, you'd realize that the people busted for shady behavior are starting the threads/drama against me (not vice versa). -snip-
The rest of your mumbo jumbo does not need individual addressing. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the trust system, especially the difference between feedback and ratings. This seem to be your goal from the start, since you warned people of a risk they already knew about, and ignored the track record that does lead to a fair amount of them to decide to take the risk with me. But i can't or will do nothing more about it. Congratulation, you're successful in pushing me at least in part away from the forum.
Victimizing yourself won't work with me. Try again.
But if i said something wrong or untrue i will remove it from your profile, regardless.
Now, after I've debunked everything, it turns out that you're actually also a liar..
Update: I'm done here. Proven liar and "self-escrow". Thread unwatched. |

That being said, it is hard for me to ever conclude that it would be ok to accept someone as an alt because they sent X amount of merits to someone... even though my gut feeling says otherwise in some of the cases.
Take a look at this case and read the part that I quoted from elsewhere (+ the original post which contains a lot more): Probably farmed accounts and almost certainly belong to the same user as RichDaniel. If you look at the accounts every single one of them has the exact same activity/post count which is usually indicative of farming. I was unable to trivially find connecting addresses, however the pattern is definitely there and that amount of merit is in no way natural. Therefore, we have one of following: - Probable cause: On the face of things (at first sight, “prima facie”), the accused probably did it.
- Moral certainty, beyond a reasonable doubt: The only way he didn’t do it is if space aliens[1] did it instead.
I think the trouble with this merit system is people are going to probably spend more time searching and investigating people abusing the system than actually giving merit.
Indeed. There is absolutely no way that the user has received 283 legitimate merit in 1 hour for their shitposts.
This should, hopefully, get you to reconsider. |

Do you have any information about what kind of pills he is taking? Over the counter or prescription? If they are prescription drugs he might have been illegally obtaining them via the dark net or paying off pharmacists. Are you sure he is actually trying to obtain more drugs beyond his prescription if he has any? Opiates are hard to shake off anyways.
I'd like to know what pills I'm taking as well. |
