Thank you again for the detailed explanation. I'll keep waiting, in this case. However, I'm really curious how these reports will be handled (assuming they will be handled).

Welcome back

Maybe this time you won't forget about it anymore, as you can learn a lot from this forum.

Thank you for your fast reply  malevolent. This means then that any Global Moderator / Admin can delete the reported posts, even from local board, right? Meaning it's not necessary for them to know that language, as I assume there are not Global Moderators / Admins for each local board. With other words, I should expect my reports to be handled / not handled by any of them, not just by Cyrus, is this correct?

It's been more than a week now and the rest of the reports are still unhandled, the the number of posts of goanadupabitcoin and Nea Sandu remained the same. Also, my accuracy remained 34% thus I'm sure the reports remained unhandled, since I didn't make any other reports since then.

Kind question to hilariousandco, mprep, malevolent or Welsh, since you are the mods / staff members who posted here: are my reports only handled by Cyrus, as the reported posts were all from Romanian board? Or could they be checked by other mod as well? I remember mprep said he marked a few reports of mine as bad thus I'm not sure how things work: for reports of local boards posts other mods can flag them as bad but the good ones are handled only by the mod of the respective local board? I'm asking to see if only Cyrus could handle these reports or maybe other mod can do that as well (especially for this case, where the shilling is in plain sight).

Also, can you see who handled the good reports of mine? As I mentioned in OP, a few hours after reporting all 100 posts, a few of them (8 of goanadupabitcoin) were deleted. Were they deleted by Cyrus ir by another mod?

Thanks!

Hehe I posted here twice but I was unlucky both times. I received merits for those two posts, but they are not related to their mentions here lol.

So this is first time when a post of mine is mentioned here by someone else Thank you, ZaraCB. And I see I just received a merit for the post you mentioned. Thus, this is also new for me. Thanks also JayJuanGee!

You have to be a trustworthy person. Prove you are a honorable person. Make some deals on the forum. If you honor your part if the deal, you'll earn also Marketplace Trust.

You can find here a few guidelines: Why reputation is essential on the free market. I hope this helps.

Thank you and thank you. I'm glad my drawing helped you understand.

What sorcery is this? I looked on loyce.club, but I couldn't find that there...

Edit: also, all the above mentioned users are actually those which applied for this campaign? Or just those which wrote on the respective topic?

Not sure if LoyceV ever received any merit while posting in Archival board As I just checked, LoyceV never received any merit from posting in the Archival board, thus this is a new start (or a challenge for anyone else lol).

Gg with these statistics Loyce! I was wondering the same thing as wwzsocki lol.

Today, while I writing in a topic, I accidentally remembered this one. And also accidentally I realized I never replied you lol.

Oh well, while beating theymos is something I'll never achieve (and, most likely, nobody else will achieve ), regarding your second statement I have to tell you that actually I did it

In Romanian we have a saying: "if you wouldn't have talked, you could have been considered a wise person". The same is true for you, Chlotide.

This is the second time when you bump into my topics, looking just to embarrass yourself (I have to admit, you are very good at it). Now as many people don't know, I have to remind them our little history:

1) So at first, when I expressed my opinion that rank up is too easy (opinion which I'm still keeping, as reaching the half of merits for Legendary in only 5 months looks still too easy), you tried to look smart, saying why I'm not yet Legendary in Jan 2020, if I joined the forum in November 2017. Of course, without saying that I was inactive since I joined and until the end of Oct 2019. However, after embarrassing yourself pretty well, you managed though at that time to almost double your merits while writing in my topic, jumping from 4 to 7.

I see you advanced a bit, heh? Now, with 74 merits, you have more than 1000% than in January. Still think it's hard to earn them, if we speak in percentages? Or are you here perhaps to double your merits once more in my topic? Lol.

2) Now, although this topic and the terminology are obvious for everybody, apparently for you it's still not clear somehow. Nor correct. Let me draw it for you, to help you understand.

Excepting the definition you kindly shared with all of us - those which don't properly know the definition of the "shill" word from dictionary Wikipedia (which as you may not know, it is a regular site, updated by regular users, not academicians) - a definition which may (or may not) be correct, on the Internet (including this forum), the term "shilling" is used in various meanings, including the one I chose.

Now as you can see with your own eyes, many old users of the forum posted inside this topic, users with great contributions or with great knowledge. Including, but not limited to: Lauda, o_e_l_e_o, tranthidung, suchmoon, mprerp, hilariousandco, iasenko, The Pharmacist, Welsh, malevolent etc. However, none of them suggested I used the wrong term.

Excepting these users, let's come back to o_e_l_e_o's topic, mentioned by me in OP. He has there a more precise definition of shilling (I highlighted the words which should be of your interest, in order to be easier for you to observe them):

Topic: List of advertising shills. Mods please review and ban as appropriate.


These being said, I certainly hope you properly understood what I pointed out in this topic and, why not, double your merits again while embarrassing yourself writing in my topics.

I believe you, cryptoaddictchie. If you remembers, I estimated initially it will take me 1 week to finish all the translations.


But I was wrong. The first translated topic in Romanian was on March 10th (I believe I started working on it on the same day or 1 day before) and the last one on April 20th. So it actually took me not a week, but a month and 10 days. Working hours though (meaning the actual labor) were around 30 or so for the difficult topics and probably another 10h for the other three.

Indeed, fillippone's materials are outstanding. It would be a great loss in case they wouldn't be translated in an accurate (and also idiomatic) manner. That's why I spent all this time: to make sure the work is thorough, as I'm sure you did as well. I encourage you to keep going with the other topics! Your people will certainly thank you.

Of course, you meant by "derailed since a few weeks" that it actually works as it was designed at its origins. "Luckily we are back at normal!" means that now it is derailed again, as it happened (probably) since week #30-40, situation which became "the new normal".

These being said, I'd like also to try to convince o_e_l_e_o in changing his mind and open a topic though, for announcing he is not renting his avatar, as being unable to do so, as his avatar is already rent. I'd also suggest to the other Merit Cycling Club members to proceed on this manner - suchmoon and The Pharmacist.

The forum needs a full visibility for all the members not renting their avatars!

Wow! O idee foarte buna! Multumim pentru sugestie, @fillippone.

Il voi contacta pe babo, sa vad daca poate ajuta

Recently I managed to finish also the last translations remaining from OP (in Romanian):

- Everything you wanted to know about BTC options but were afraid to ask <=> Tot ce voiai să știi despre opțiunile BTC dar îți era teamă să întrebi
- Stock-to-Flow Model: Modeling Bitcoin's Value with Scarcity <=> Modelul Stoc-Flux: Evaluând Bitcoin Bazat Pe Raritatea Sa
- Comprare Bitcoin senza KYC: Bitcoin bancomat a Milano rispettoso della Privacy <=> Cumpără Bitcoin fără KYC: ATM-ul Bitcoin din Milano care respectă anonimitatea.

It's been a great challenge to finish all the topics suggested by fillippone and I'm so glad I made it!

Now, after finishing all the six topics, I can say the following:
- all of them are very well documented and there's a lot to learn from each of them. Although I knew a part of the information, I did not know all the content stated in each topic, thus it was a great opportunity for learning many new things from fillippone!
- for those interested to translate these topics in their own language, Comprare Bitcoin senza KYC: Bitcoin Bancomat a Milano rispettoso della Privacy (from Italian) and #meritislife: how to be notified on a smartband of merits and mentions are the easiest to be translated
- 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin is also easy to be translated but, as fillippone already said, it is tricky: the hard part is to find Bitcoin-related sites in your languages and to insert them in the translation instead the existing one; the rest of the topic is easy to be translated
- Everything you wanted to know about BTC futures but were afraid to ask!, Everything you wanted to know about BTC options but were afraid to ask! and Stock To Flow Model: Modeling Bitcoin's Value with Scarcity are the most difficult to be translated (and also the longest ones: they have, in this order, 3800 words, 4300 words and 2800 words). For those interested in translating these topics I advise to proceed with great caution. Although I knew most of the terms, I did not know them all (nor in English, nor in Romanian). Therefore I had to study, to understand the meaning. I had to make deep researches on the Internet in order to properly understand the meaning of the terms (mostly economic terms, but not just economics - in the topic related to BTC futures there is a long paragraph with technical terms from oil industry, for example; I never heard before about "Reid vapor pressure" or "Saybolt Universal Seconds"). After understanding the terms in English, I had to find proper translations in Romanian. Being technical terms, some of them are used in Romanian as in English (example: put / call options); some of them had specific translations though. You have to make sure that you understand all these terms and that in your language exists or not specifics words for the technical terms (stock to flow, call, put, long, short, strike, spot etc.). These three topics only took me about ~30h of work, necessary for the translation per se, but also for research on the Internet and research for terms in my own language.

Due to the above mentioned details, in order to make sure you'll perform a correct translation, you need first to make sure that you really understand the terms.

I hope these thoughts will help all the future translators.

Thank you once again fillippone for this great challenge! It's been an honor!

Done for this one as well! Looking forward to see all of them revealed!

Am actualizat OP si cu informatiile relevante pentru teritoriul Romaniei, adaugand toate cele 14 locatii existente pe site-ul Shitcoins.club.

Obviously =)))

It would be very practical (also a proof of vanity? ) to open a topic where to announce that your avatar is not for rent, as it is already rented lol. Let's see how it would look like (using / updating LoyceV's words from OP):


Looks great, right? o_e_l_e_o, what do you think?

If I remember well, something similar was done also by TradeFortress, years ago, when he offered a HYIP Ponzi scheme. Of course, in the end thousands of BTC were lost (stolen).

For those not familiar with TradeFortress, read more here.

Don't let yourselves tricked by a HYIP. Such things don't exist!
