Brentford never splashed the cash they got from entering the Premier League, they are a good footballing side doing the right things on and off the football pitch. Keeping all that aside, Liverpool will be feeling they should have won the match but I think Brentford could also have won it. What a great football league the English Premier League is  Grin

^  That’s money ball.  A lot of the people are skeptical if the philsophy would work in football.  Liverpool tried it under King Kenny but they did it wrong.  With Brenford they obv are doing it right.  It’s all thanks to the owner Matthew Benham.

Liverpool defenders were slow to react vs Brentford.

Liverpool will be unhappy by not managing to win at Brentford but in the end it is the Premier League and in this league minnows have every chance to beat giants and Brentford stood tall against a strong Liverpool team and managed a draw.

This season is already turning in to a potential classic  Smiley

The most shocking weekend of premier league football so far this season? Manchester City beating Chelsea who looked unstoppable until today. Aston Villa beating Manchester United which I expected but I do not think it was a popular opinion. West ham and Everton results were prolly predictable but Leicester looking like their bad form is to continue and Newcastle dropping points which I expected them to win today. Brentford is the most shocking drawing with Liverpool and prolly should have walked away with the win after many chances and balls cleared off the line and a offside goal.

I think the method you suggest is definitely one way to look at the situation, for the OP to grow and be tough but they are still a child.

I think the best course of action for now would be to advise the OP to seek some sort of help by speaking to an adult family member or a school teacher to address the gambling issue. It seems a child is gambling using crypto and it is not either a priority or concern to members of the forum and that cannot be right.

What is the official age limit here to register an account? If anybody knows please post here.

If you read the messages of this "child", then he has been on the Internet for a long time. Read his posts that he is some kind of developer out there since 10 years old, and is trying to sell on the network using anonymity.
Is this a child who is very defenseless? In this case, let's be educators since his parents are not involved in raising him.
I know what I'm talking about. Children on the Internet are not quite children, men are not quite men, that is, people are not always who they say they are. I am always skeptical about this.
Once he got to this forum, as LoyceV said, I used the wrong meaning of "adult forum", then he quite knows where and how to ignore or simply not respond to someone who is unpleasant to him.
The theme was created to bring him a handkerchief. The kid lacks attention.

In my country, at the age of 14, guys already become fathers Grin Grin Grin
I understand the situation a little bit better now after reading your post.

I have not looked in the background information of the OP or tried to verify his claims but his age is stated in the neutral feedback and by his own admission he was allegedly involved with coding which at the time would have put him at around (as you correctly stated) 10 years old and there not many in the forum who would believe that and even so there is no way to ascertain what he says it true or otherwise.

I am beginning to feel the same as you stated: "people are not always who they say they are" therefore on that note I am making my final post in this thread.



I am a .NET developer meaning I develop exclusively Windows apps. I have been doing this for 3.5 Years, that also translates to my prices being low here are my prices

-Auto-Buyer for sites like newegg/bestbuy/ebay etc
-Chat bots I CAN write discord bots if thats what you want
-Bing Search Bot, Microsoft Bing pays in Amazon gift cards for using their search engine, so with a bot searching over and over again, you can make good money in amazon cards.
-Remote Admin tools for smaller teams/companies

Wow. That’s incredibly creepy. I never thought we had to worry about predators combing these boards, but it is apparently happening and likely has been for some time. I guess as the community grows, so do the problems as more of society’s riff raff finds their way into our beloved online gathering place.
During my time in the forum I have never come across a post such as the one used by the OP. If what has been mentioned is true then it really is creepy.


In addition, we can say that since the OP is very young, but registered on an adult forum, he must understand that he needs to grow up, and not complain about every personal message that came to him personally. Mom's not here. The fact that the OP created a similar topic already suggests that he understands that something that happened badly. So why not just ignore the person who sent him the message, or refuse to receive messages altogether, since he is still so small? Has the Internet always been secure?
I see it as a "The problem is created out of a thin air." OP, grow up, there are many bad uncles and aunts in the world, just don't hang out with strangers. I think your parents told you about it?



By the way, you don't need to go anywhere in search of his age, just look at his neutral trust. I think that since the Admin has deleted information about him in the topic, it would be worthwhile to delete this neutral review.
I think the method you suggest is definitely one way to look at the situation, for the OP to grow and be tough but they are still a child.

The results from the early kick-off games today were:

Here are the Premier League fixtures taking place on Saturday 25th September 2021:

Chelsea 0-1 Manchester City

Manchester United 0-1 Aston Villa

      
Both ended with the home teams losing.

Chelsea for me were favourites against Manchester City but what a result for Guardiola and his team to defeat Tuchel and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It was a complete surprise seeing Villa walk away from Old Trafford with 3 points inflicting a home defeat for Manchester United.

Manchester City have thrown down the gauntlet so early in the season and it shows they mean business  Shocked

We are up to 37 votes in the poll and Joshua has moved up to 24 while Usyk is still on 11. The fight is taking place this evening but the interest is still not that big as far as the media is concerned. Where in the world is the hype and excitement because it certainly is not in the UK media.

That is true, this fight is in the shadows of Fury vs Wilder III but Joshua does not seem to getting the media exposure in the UK that he deserves. Usyk is fast, he has fast hands he is quick and when he gets going I think Joshua will semi-panic and recall how Ruiz defeated him in the first fight with those fast hands.

At some stage Joshua should start to take control of the fight and dominate with his jab wearing Usyk down but he was the former undisputed world cruiserweight champion so Joshua will not take any chances. It will be an interesting fight to watch with Usyk probably trying to get a KO or TKO knowing he might last beyond 4 rounds...  and Joshua probably happy to go the distance slowing wearing him down and winning on a points decision or by catching him cold after a few rounds and having his on KO or TKO.

The fight is taking place tomorrow yet there is such little hype about it in the media in the UK. Something is not right about that.

After a lot of doom and gloom of the past couple of years, many boxing fans are looking forward to the Joshua vs Usyk fight and also the Fury vs Wilder III fight but the lack of hype and publicity surround the fight tomorrow was not expected. Maybe if Joshua was fighting a bigger than Usyk name then there would be hype and noise in the media but the lack of presence in the media in general has let boxing fans down.

It's in the shadow of Fury Wilder III for sure. I'll eagerly be watching both but I'm more excited about the trilogy fight. It's gonna be a bit messy if either of Fury or AJ loses though.

Votes cast in the poll: 32

Manchester United 12
Manchester City 10
Liverpool 5
Chelsea 3
Leicester City 2



It seems like the Ronaldo effect is taking place in the minds of voters because Manchester United now are leading the race to become Premier League champions 2021/22 with 12 votes. The season is long, anything could happen and it is far too early to say which teams within the top 4 will break away and start to accumulate points to stay at the top but for me I think Liverpool will finish the league in 4th position and the Manchester clubs and Chelsea will be in the top 3.

Thank you. It is the truth, they are simply avoiding engaging with victims and are trying to answer the questions they want and then ignore the others.

I hope we can all work together as a community to minimise the impact the 1xbit scammers will have by trapping fewer victims.





The 1xbit forum representative has deliberately chosen to ignore valid points raised by victims of their scam and has chosen to answer questions they pick and choose.

Everybody is advised to avoid 1xbit. If you deposit funds or win on their 1xbit scam website you stand a high probability of becoming another in a long line of victims. Beware.

Well said Jollygood.
3993  Economy / Reputation / Re: Suspected Hero and Legendary account fraud on: September 24, 2021, 09:18:31 PM
As Loyce mentioned, Telegram is a scammers paradise but whether you make a deal directly on this forum via PM or off it such as on Telegram, it is a huge risk.

It might be obvious to others but I am unsure until/unless you state it: why did you want to buy a Hero and Legendary account rather than build up your own account as you went along? And did those accounts come with a signature campaign already participated in? $7600 is a lot of money to pay for 2 accounts.

I have mixed feelings about this because nobody deserves to be scammed but at the same time account buying and selling is frowned upon in the forum. I hope you keep us posted because if you have been scammed but have screenshots available then at least we can all tag the associated accounts rendering them almost useless.

At the same time, if you do manage to get access to those accounts and then later they are discovered to be sold then they will most probably be tagged anyway so you really should have tried to build up your own account in your own personality rather try to buy in a risky sale worth $7600.


Recently I bought a Hero and legendary account.
Account price
hero rank : $2400
legendary rank : $5200
Escrow fee: $500
Total amount : $8100

The offer took place in telegram (I already have screenshots of the transaction, involving a trusted third party and the deal went well) after that I login into the account successfully. but after a few hours exactly 6 hours after purchasing the account (hero and legendary) when I tried to login the account didn't work. I contacted them including third parties, I told them I not kidding if they try to trick me because that's why I intentionally wrote in this thread, I'm 99% sure he will read it here.
I gave them 2-3 days to sort this out before the case got long.
one more thing, for the time being I will not publicly provide evidence until they actually return the account I have purchased. but i will if they trick me.

You made drama out of nothing... But you have faithful supporters as I see, they don't even read the problem they just support you.

Please be a grown up, look me in the eyes and answer my questions... don't hide like a pussy.  I really can't believe what are you writing... And some of your people.
I assure you I am not crazy, literally or otherwise - why would you say that about me?

Which people are you referring to when you say you cannot believe what we are writing?

Don't you think that by using this harsh language against him will make your chance of being neutral more less ?
His intention was to change to neutral initially when he started the thread
After reviewing the original post a few minutes (https://archive.is/Ii3g6) I am on the verge of changing the tag to neutral but asking members for feedback.
but now you are taking it too far too personal that he won't change his decision.  
iv4n is behaving in an unacceptable manner throwing a tantrum because he and his supporters have not yet been able to achieve their goal of applying pressure on me to change the tag to neutral (but I am still open to consensus as mentioned in the OP). He has fallen to low levels of personal insults because he cannot engage in conversation or debate.

He should have owned up to the fact he tried his best to promote the 1xbit scammers without giving too much credit to them in the hope something such as this thread would not occur.

Instead of just holding up his hand to admit he was naive at the very least for selling out his reputation at the chance of getting just $30 from a known and widely accepted scam-outfit and then saying he regretted doing it - on the contrary he sees nothing wrong with the absolute nonsense of a so-called honest review he posted for which he received $30.


Change to neutral tag immediately. I insist .
The trust on your iplnightrider account shows you just woke up after a long period of inactivity. It was registered in 2016 and you made 1 post in 2016. After that you decided to use this sock-puppet account to make 1 more post and you make it here defending somebody such as iv4n and you are expected to be taken seriously?

After an absence lasting over 5 years your first and only post was made today and you insist another member modify a tag?

Congratulations you have the grand total of 2 posts in over 5 years since the account was registered but your plan to use it as a sleeper/farmed account has backfired.

-----------------

but now you are taking it too far too personal that he won't change his decision.  

I said the same a few posts above.. He is taking this too far... And his minions that are getting merits for their posts...

Am I really the crazy one here? I am asking for objective opinion after reading all the posts in this and previous topic... If I really am I will accept my negative without any complaints.. But am I really or Jolly is just biased for some reason?
Who exactly are you referring to as minions? Can you name names because I would like to read their posts in an attempt to discover why you would conclude they did not deserve merits.

In this case (iv4n), JollyGood is unsure of what to do, which is why he started the topic to get opinions. Now that he has them, the majority is suggesting change to Neutral, so what's the point of starting a question thread if their opinions aren't going to matter?

Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house
I am not in any doubt. I think iv4n deserves a red tag and it should stay but just for the sake of not having my thread about asking 1xbit promoters to refrain being flooded with pro-iv4n posts I created this and am willing to change the tag to neutral if the consensus shows it would be more conducive.

EDIT:

I hate humans.
Someone woke up after years of sleeping and than straight to defend unknown gambler in Reputation, oh how noble for someone who hates humans so much.
Well, the borovichok account woke up 3 weeks ago after having over 3 years of inactivity. Between April 2018 and September 2021 the account was inactive and then goes over the top while defending a member that has obviously made a dubious post for the sake of just $30. I suppose can be seen as somewhat suspicious.

Tbh. the 1xbit site is beautiful than anyone I've seen on the forum

It's one of the worst looking and worst working betting website I ever used in my life.

Please stop mentioning my username here, I was not kissing anyone ass when I wrote feedback about 1xbit, and I don't need permission from anyone to do that.
I don't really give a damn what any of you are going to do with tags, but with all the the passion borovichok is repeatedly using to defend iv4n, I have to wonder if he is his alt account activated only in special occasions like this to defend him.

borovichok friend feedback:
Interesting site 1xbit! I never played there, and I am not sure should I start now... Too many unsolved accusations on your account, of course!

But I like easy registration, and I like the list of the coins you accept! Amazing! Also, the list of available games is awesome, I am looking around the site and to be honest I like what I see! I am tempted to deposit some amount and test you... but maybe I will get $30 for this "the-first-look-review"?!

Here is my 1xbit deposit address:

If I get the coins I will play and I will be able to say something more about 1xbit casino! Cheers! Smiley

my feedback:
I can post honest feedback and review for 1xbit website, but you can't stop people to write something negative about your website with some monetary incentive, and creating self-moderated topic will not help you either.

What I saw after registration to 1xbit website is very slow speed for opening and loading some pages like Sports and others.
Menu in top right side can be confusing, and I think that you have to very high minimum amount for Bitcoin that I can withdraw from my account, that is 5 mBTC or 190 USD!!
Other betting websites have lower limits and some have free withdrawals, and 1xbit is most high as you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5333602.0
There are a lot of payment options and betting markets, but what worries me is that I don't see you have any betting license for operating you service, maybe it's hidden somewhere.

What do you think is more honest from this two feedback?  Cheesy

Iv4n just messaged me and what I bolded here is exactly what I told him.
He obviously activated an army to defend him.


It's Friday you all, don't you have anything better to do?
Sadly your name has been dragged in to this but instead of reading what I wrote the OP about the reason to tag or not to tag members in that thread, they quoted you and others when it was not necessary.

I am also somewhat surprised at the army you mentioned, it is one thing to post to try to defend someone and another thing to act as a mouthpiece or advocate.


When in doubt: use Neutral.

In your opinion should the negative tag remain or should I replace it with a neutral?
If you have to ask, I assume you're not absolutely sure, so it shouln't be negative.

It's also wise to ask yourself before leaving feedback: "Does my feedback make Bitcointalk a better place? And if it's negative: is it worth destroying someone's account and reputation over this?". Consider using Neutral feedback if neither Positive nor Negative is justified.
Loyce, good to hear from you   Grin

Actually the reason for asking opinions of the wider community was because the thread I created to request 1xbit promoters to kindly refrain from doing so, was being flooded with pro-iv4n messages and I wanted to keep that thread free from either spam or flooding: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5347222.0

I am not in doubt, for me the tag should remain but I was on the verge of changing it to neutral if the wider community thought it was warranted over the red by taking the conversation out of that thread and in to a dedicated one.

The problem here is that it is not a one to one case. If it was that, i would have also suggested for a Neutral. The issue here is that if you give him Neutral for his semi-favorable wording for the scam site, the others might also jump in and demand for the same treatment.
You have a valid point. What becomes more problematic here is if other posts from forum members in pages 3-10 of that thread are even more favourable towards the 1xbit scammers but demand a particular action (removal or reduction) in relation to any tag... having said that it should not detract from a separate debate about what is being said about the trust system being appropriately in the wider sense across the forum.

I am not surprised that several members in this thread have concluded iv4n was dishonest in his review which was akin to promoting a known scam and he did it with a care for any potential victims that could be affected after reading fake reviews and he did it all for the sake of a $30 payment.
3999  Economy / Reputation / Re: iv4n: Looking for feedback - should the negative tag remain? on: September 24, 2021, 01:29:15 PM
The point of creating this thread was to avoid the other thread being overrun with comments about whether a tag was deemed valid or not. It was mentioned in the firsts two paragraphs of the first post in this thread.

I do know how to read but I still fail to make sense out of it.
Ok

You are basically doing an incorrect use of the trust system based on how you perceive things, not on hard evidence and make your own interpretation of the facts.
If you think an incorrect use of the trust system has been applied am I the only forum member you noticed using it? The action you took in this particular case was to post in this thread and state your opposition but have you applied the same vigilance to other forum members you deem to be using the trust system incorrectly or is this only case where you have been vocal?

There is a fine line between hard facts and interpretations of facts, how one sees them is debatable and we all have a right to our opinions.

Asking a casino you don't trust to give some funds so that you can try it on their own review campaign is, from my point of view, not wrong. The casino did later on provide said funds, no review was ever left. There is literally no harm nor ill intention on that.
It is your opinion and you are entitled to it but here are some of us that disagree with that view.

In my opinion (and other members in this thread) the manner in which iv4n used highly selective text in order to please the 1xbit scammers in the belief it would ensure a $30 payment was not appropriate because it was viewed less as an honest review and more of a semi-promotion akin to a shill and he put himself in that position where his integrity and credibility is now being questioned.

Kindly allow me some time to go through the remaining 10 or so pages, I will look forward to reading your views in this thread after."


Interesting site 1xbit! I never played there, and I am not sure should I start now... Too many unsolved accusations on your account, of course!

But I like easy registration, and I like the list of the coins you accept! Amazing! Also, the list of available games is awesome, I am looking around the site and to be honest I like what I see! I am tempted to deposit some amount and test you... but maybe I will get $30 for this "the-first-look-review"?!

Here is my 1xbit deposit address: bc1qxepaj5xp7klsv797ndgm2xgs98er9ydj0rt625

If I get the coins I will play and I will be able to say something more about 1xbit casino! Cheers! Smiley

Just check the highlighted words in the above post. Too many sentences written in the favor of the site. A neutral person who see this post and did not have any prior knowledge of 1xbit will think that it is a good legit site.

I think to be fair with everyone, ask him to return the 30$ which he received for this review to you or anyone agreed and that amount should be sent to any donations. And also he should remove this post and the the tag will be removed.
Yes it clear iv4n knew exactly what he was doing with that so-called honest review.

he should have known better.

In your opinion should the negative tag remain or should I replace it with a neutral?
Iv4n just messaged me and what I bolded here is exactly what I told him. Even though he should have known better, I think it's a bit harsh for a neg tag. Give everyone in that review thread a neutral IMO as all that really happened was those that were paid hurt the scam sites pocket. Noone pays attention to those reviews, least I wouldn't think so.

It's your decision but I personally think a neutral is fine.
I appreciate the views, thank you.

Yes iv4n should have known better but the fact he continues to play ignorant and does not own up to what his real intention was when choosing those words in the so-called Honest review thread also does not help the situation. It was him that put himself in a position where his integrity could be doubted - just for the sake of a one-off $30 payment from a scam website that has too many allegations against it in this very forum.

What he failed to grasp was, at that stage all those that posted were paid so for him to stoop to a low level of ambiguity (hoping it would ensure he got paid) was a tactic that was simply not necessary. He really should have posted an honest review rather than the semi-promotion of a scam website.


Noone pays attention to those reviews, least I wouldn't think so.
I don't know about that, I really don't.  I'm pretty sure a thread like the one OP linked to wouldn't show up on any Google result (at least not in the first few pages), there is a non-negligible chance that someone could find it and base their decision to visit 1xbit and deposit money there on it.  

I also think a negative trust is a bit harsh.  I have mixed feelings about tagging 1xbit campaign participants and won't do it personally, much less tagging someone voicing his opinion on that casino in a thread that asks for opinions.  That's being overzealous IMO....but JollyGood, I'll tell you: I won't complain for a minute if you keep the tag in place, because his idiotic opinion and that begging for bitcoin deem him a complete parasite in my eyes, and it'd be better if that negative trust inhibited him from joining sig campaigns/bounties in the future.

The trust system is yet again being used to control the shitposter/moron problem, just like it was prior to 2018.  I don't know if the merit system has lost effectiveness or what, but if it's not keeping the problem in check then I think we need a better solution than tagging members like this.  Anyway, I'm fine if you don't remove that feedback, JollyGood.
Thank you for your feedback. As you pointed out the manner in which he virtually begged for the money along with the words used in the post, it was clear to see what his intention was.

Sadly I find myself in that situation again where the line between an out-and-out promotion of a scam vs somewhat ambiguous promotion - are not that blurred and applying a tag can be deemed harsh in some quarters. As you said, if the problem is not being kept in check and there is no other alternative then another solution is needed.


To be honest, no one deserves a red tag for a personal review, promoters and people giving out personal reviews are two different things. If I play on the site and am able to withdraw, I can boldly come out and give my honest opinion without minding the scam accusations against them, but does that mean I should be red tagged for telling my experience on the site? No, I don't believe so.

If you prefer to tag people for offering honest ratings, you may start here. These users were also paid for their honest reviews, so why is iv4n claiming sole responsibility?

theymos needs to explain why DT was implemented it's becoming a weapon tbh.
I agree with your view entirely about people should not be tagged for giving honest opinions therefore I think you are somewhat misguided because in the OP I stated I went through just the first 2 pages of that thread and there are another 10 or so pages remaining and I stated all those that deserve a tag (not giving honest reviews) will be tagged.

Some of those members you listed have already been tagged by me and are on my ignore list so if I decided to skip past them knowing I have already tagged them - I do not think that is a pressing matter. Having said that if you can provide me a link to show where other members have posted a tag worthy promotion or semi-promotion of the 1xbit scammers in the first 2 pages of that thread (because that is how far I have made it so far), I will tag them. Kindly allow me some time to go through the remaining 10 or so pages, I will look forward to reading your views in this thread after.

Is DT really becoming a weapon? In my opinion DT members have a responsibility to ensure they do their utmost to protect the wider members of this community and I cannot apologise for try to contribute a little amount of my time trying to lessen the number of new victims.


I don't really see the point of creating a thread to repeat what has already been said... Just in case I'll copy-quote my reply over there:
The point of creating this thread was to avoid the other thread being overrun with comments about whether a tag was deemed valid or not. It was mentioned in the firsts two paragraphs of the first post in this thread.
