You are right, my bad. Still drinking my morning coffee

Numbers are down across the local boards and forum in general so what's happening in Phillipines board is not so different than in others.


It's sort of catch 22 -  There is a less merit shared in Phillipines board because people write less, but then again people often write less when its harder to get merit.


I don't know about other local boards, but we don't have anything like that in Croatian board. What we do have is a topic where we can report good posts, and those get the merit if they meet the requirements. So something like this in Reputation board.

Looking at his post history, that guy just woke up after two years break, saw that 777Coin is marked as "Open" and applied, without thinking much about checking what's written in the posts before his application. At least he is not wearing the sig.

Why not? I see it as another fail-safe mechanism, as even something stored offline can be lost/destroyed. After all, it's not like it hasn't happen already to bunch of people, even those that had shit load of BTC.

@grondilu an interesting topic, exactly at the time when I was thinking about some thing like that.

Da, cuo sam da je nekima film bio prespor, ali meni je upravo taj prvi sporiji dio bolji. Ja i inace volim slow burn filmove, tako da mi je taj pacing bio bas taman. Sto se mene tice, mogli su nas jos duze uvoditi u pricu te da ljudima jos vise objasne cijelu situaciju koja je dosta kompleksna.



Iako je Villenuve bio donekle pod utjecajem verzije iz 1984 (vidljivo iz par scena), to je prije svega ekranizacija knjige a ne rimejk, jer je verzija iz 1984 ekranizacija. Da je rijec o originalnom scenariju, onda bi mogli pricati o rimejku. Uostalom, knjiga je klasik SF zanra, te je cudo da i nema vise pokusaja.

Onaj tko zna sve peripetije oko Dune iz 1984 (Lynch se odrekao filma jer nije imao kontrolu oko editiranja, sam tvrdi da nikad nije procitao knjigu etc) te voli Dune svijet, svjestan je toga da tema nikad do sada nije obradjena na pravi nacin, jer je cca 2 sata jednostavno premalo da se knjiga pokrije na kvalitetan nacin. Pokusavalo se i prije Lyncha, a najpoznatiji pokusaj je onaj od Jodorowskog, koji je jos ludji od Lyncha tako da mozda i dobro da nikad nije ostvaren.

Po meni, najbolji format za kvalitetnu obradu bi bio visokobudzetna HBO serija, ali jebiga daj sta das.


E bas sam nedavno naletio na taj film, ali nisam ga jos pogledao. Znaci smece?

S obzirom da ja pokrecem temu, red je da ja prvi podijelim par filmova.

Dune
Iskreno, bio sam dosta sumnjicav prema ovome s obzirom da je knjiga dosta kompleksna te ni 2 filma nece  biti dovoljna da se pokrije sve kako bi trebalo, ali na kraju je film ispao dosta dobar. U svakom slucaju najbolji pokusaj do sada; bolji od one nesretne Lynchove verzije iz 1984 (koje sam fan unatoc hrpi mana) te od onih par mini serija. Obavezno pogledati u kinu ako se moze. E da, jucer je potvrdjeno da se ide i u nastavak koji bi trebao izaci krajem 2023 te pokriti drugi dio knjige.


Copshop
Copshop gledao prvenstveno zbog redatelja koji je nedavno napravio meni zabavni Boss Level te je zasluzan i za jedan od boljih krimica prolog desetljeca, Narc. Klasicni "mozak na pasu" akcic koji me na kraju vise smorio nego zabavio. Gledati samo ako ste bas pasionirani ljubitelji zanra.


Old Henry
Mali nepretenciozni western koji sam pogledao sinoc. Jednostavna price, ali kvalitetne izvedba, pogotovo glavnog glumca. Meni je bio gust a vjerujem da ce i ostalim ljubiteljima zanra. Uostalom, svi znamo da se westerni danas riejtko rade, tako da je jos jedan razlog za pogledati.

Kao sto samo ime ove teme kaze, ovo je zamisljeno kao mjesto za kulturnu razbibrigu, bilo to filmovi, serije, knjige, a moze i muzika. Planirao sam ovako nesto otvoriti jos prije godinu i pol, ali eto oduzilo se (@Trofo se mozda sjeca razgovora oko toga). Prije nisam htio spamati nas glavni dio foruma sa time, ali sad kada imamo off -topic sekciju mislim da mozemo slobodno razglabati i o ovakvim stvarima. Vjerujem da nisam jedini koji uziva u u dobrom filmu/seriji, tako da mislim da ne bi bilo lose imati ovakvo nesto, cisto da malo razbije monotoniju foruma a i pomognemo jedni drugima u potrazi za necim zanimljivim.

Tako da, slobodno sherajte stp ste nedavno gledali/citalite napisite recenicu ili dvije, trazite preporuku, ili jednostavno podijelite sto danas slusate.

Par pravila i sugestija:

• Za film/seriju, podijelite i imdb(moja preporuka)/wiki/rotten tomatoes link, cisto da ljudi mogu lakse vidjeti o cemu se radi.
• Ako trazite neku preporuku sto da gledate, dajte neke primjere koje volite, jer i unutar zanra mogu biti velike razlike, npr ako hocete preporuku nekog horrora, recite da li volite slahshere tipa Halloween ili psiholoske kao Shining etc.
• Izbjegavajte spoilere u opisu filma, a i fore tipa "super je twist na kraju". Ako vec spoilate (ako se raspravlja o nekom filmu), napomenite da slijedi spoiler i zabijelite slova.
• Kad dijelite sto slusate, preporucljivo je da ubacite i YouTube link

Ako imate kakve prijedloge ili kritike, slobodne dijelite!

Yep, another one that hired bumping. Same accounts that are active in that thread are doing the same in bunch of others as well. These are just a few examples:
[Ann] Passive income with MOONFLIGHT!
[Ann] The first blockchain marketplace for physical goods!
Ann]A decentralized crowdfunding portal for startups, entrepreneurs, businesses

You can add one more to your list.


Somehow I got the impression that those first few "ranking up" topics were actually made to inspire newbies, while majority of others have ulterior motive, which in the end is pretty obvious. Dunno, maybe I am just old and cynical...

Something odd is happening in Phillipines board for quite some time. They went from being one of the most merited local boards to one of the least, in only year and a half. While its true that during that period their post count went down significantly (same thing happened with majority of other boards), but 90% decrease in that period is imho kinda far too drastic to be explained with lower post quality/quantity.

Maybe it's time for Philippines board members to apply for merit source status.

To be honest, I don't think this user gonna leave the forum just because he got banned. What he is probably gonna do is create new account, and continue with business as usual and if he has any brain, he will avoid plagiarism.

That's probably the main reason why I prefer to warn newbies instead just reporting them for plagiarism as if their goal is to profit from this forum in one way or another, they will just create another account and continue like nothing happened, while with warning there is a chance (albeit small) that he will edit the post and learn something.

I will definitely consider to remove my negative feedback or change to neutral once I see that people are getting payed on time, without constant delays and having to pressure via negative tags and bunch of PMs. I am not convinced of that yet and for now I wouldn't join any of his campaigns, nor apply to any of his future job adds.

I warned him yesterday that he should edit his post and include reference links as I wanted to give him a chance instead just reporting him for plagiarism, but obviously he decided to ignore that. I predict that his stay on bitcointalk will be very short. At least with this account.


He didn't just copied 2nd paragraph, but everything except that "Im all for crypto staking" sentence at the beginning of the post.

Ma prosli mjesec sam bio katastrofa i nikad neaktivniji,  bas sam pogledao brojeve na ninjastic.space i ispada da sam napisao samo 51 post cijeli 9. mjesec, sto je ~1/3 mog (nekadasnjeg) mjesecnog prosjeka. A niti sam se pretrgao sa kvalitetom postova, jednostavno mi se vise neda trositi vrijeme na nista osim tih mjesecnih pregleda.



Neka tvoje teme, nadam se da ju ne ramisljas opet lockati. Nek stoji, bez obzira koliko akivna bila.

Evo jos jedne mjesecne analize naseg boarda, i ovaj put uz odredjeno kasnjenje. Podaci uz pomoc kojih sam napravio chartove i listu su preuzeti sa @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda te @TryNinja Ninjastic.spacea.

Broj postova  u periodu 01.09.-30.09.

Tijekom 9/2021 u nasem boardu je napisano 454 posta, sto je nesto manje u odnosu na 8/2021 kad je napisano 502 posta. Primjetiti ce te da postoji razlika u ondosu na broj prikazan na ovom pie chartu i podacima sa Merit Dashboarda, te podacima na usporednim chartovima. Naime, od ovog mjeseca sam odlucio koristiti ninjastic.space za post count, iako on pokazuje malo vece brojeve od stvarnih jer broji i naknadno obrisane postove.





Na ovom srceenshotu se fino vidi da smo u biti u konstantnom polaganom padu skoro 2 godine, tamo jos od pocetka 2020.  Izkreno nisam siguran da li se ista moze napraviti po tom pitanju da se taj negativan trend promjeni (mislim da se moze eventualno usporiti i to je to, ali to ne znaci da ne treba probati tako da mi je drago da bitcointalk pokrece YouTube kanal.

Uostalom, svi koji imaju vise iskustva znaju da je zlatno doba foruma daleko iza nas te da situacija nije nista bolja ni drugdje tako da i bitcointalk samo prati trendove.





Na usprednom chartu, standradna imena i dalje na vrhu; Rusi i Turci te iza njih Njemci. Unatoc konstantom padu, mi i dalje ne stojimo uopce lose te smo zacementairani u top 10, zahvaljujuci ostalima koji takodjer imaju iste probleme. Uz malo vecu aktivnost, mogli bi poprilicno napredovati na chartu jer 3 boarda imaju jako slicne brojeve tako da bi eto to mogao biti kao neki cilj do kraja godine.

Analiza merita za period 01.09 -30.09.

Po pitanju merita i dalje stojimo super, te se na to nemamo sta zaliti, 206 merita na cca 500 postova je odlicno, Mislim da bi taj broj merita bio jos dosta veci da dobijemo pokojeg aktivnog kvalitetnog novog membera, ili da ovi koji su Hero ranka imaju volje krenuti prema Legendary.







Slicna situacija kao i na post chartu; Rusi i Turci predvode, ali ovdje su odmah iza njih Talijani. Njemci su do nedavno bili neprikosnoveni na tom drugom mjestu ali vec neko vrijeme njihov broj merita konstantno opada tako da su sada na 4. mjestu. Mi smo i ovdje cvrsto zacementirano u top 10 te mislim da ne bi trebali ici ispod ovoga s obzirom da imamo tih par novih merit sourceva.





Za kraj ove serije chartova, merit/post ratio. Bas je fino vidjeti nas ratio od 0.41, velika razlika od prije par mjeseci  kad smo znali imati i 0.1 sto je stvarno bilo grozno i u razini nekih spammerskih boardova kao npr Bitcoin Discussion.  Neki drugi boardovi sada imaju slicne probleme nasima, kao Filipinski koji je drasticno pao.

Lista aktivnih clanova naseg boarda u periodu 1.09-30.09.


Red je spomenuti i one koji su zasluzni za odrzavanje naseg boarda aktivnim (ja sam tu gadno podbacio sa samo 6 napisanih postova, sto mi je negativan rekord). Ne treba uopce sumnjati tko je na vrhu liste, ni tko ce biti na vrhu slijedece, pogotovo jer je open upao u kampanju.

Yeah, I  focused on ANN threads that hired bumping service and are doing that inside their own thread.


Those project are obviously using shillers as well, but  imho this type of "guerrilla marketing" looks much better than standard mindless shilling inside the ANN thread, and might be even effective if done properly, as I've seen similar things in various Telegram groups.

They won't, as it costs exactly 0 to make new account. They have so many accounts at their disposal  that even if you just tag them, they will ditch those and start using new ones. They won't be stopped by that evil fee thing as well, as they are professional spammers that are doing this for years and will easily find new clean IP to make more. Rinse and repeat as long there's interest in what they offer.


That could be the case as well, as I saw Vitor Services using newbie accounts created back in 2012/2013 and awoken in 2020/2021, which made me think that they are buying those accounts from someone.

Flag against @Binance Coin supported as some people in the latest thread are under the impression that's the official Binance account, which has yet to be proven. Given all the red flags that you mentioned, 99.99% that's not the official account, meaning it might be an impersonator that is playing long game.

What you maybe missed (and I think its one of the things @Lucius wanted to say) is that mods should be more strict when it comes to poorly written and redundant topics which this forum doesn't lack. And I totally agree with him, that's the only way people will spam less, both those that are opening such topics, and those answering them.



Maybe I got wrong impression, but I think that mods are more reluctant to delete topics that have more replies and that might be the case here.

Yep, mods are banning those sock puppet shilling accounts regularly but problem is that "marketing agencies" (most likely Vitor Services) are using newbie accounts and we all know that they can make as many as possible of those, which they are doing. What still surprises me is that they keep using older newbie accounts, that they awake when needed  instead of brand new ones.
