I think it is sad that merit points have to be used like this, and not to reward good and constructive posts. I understand that it may be difficult to find such posts, but surely it is worth hanging on to points until these posts appear.
I was just about to write something to you but first take a look at this user: Read my posts ! I deserve something better !
Care to look at all his posts? That's why I have certain rules. Anyone can post 60 times in yabtc giveaway/off topic one-liners/etc and only one constructive post/topic for merit. So basically, spammer with farming account can reach member status very easily with only 1 constructive post. On the other hand regular forum user will have problem. Second example: (probably much better example and it will show you what I said above): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2821218.0Which is in my honest opinion started for only one reason: I would like to participate. You can check my posts and decide. Thanks for this nice gesture.
Look at his post history. Now look at this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2823184.0See? Shitposting whole time and because of one good post he will rank up, not to mention his constructive posts are about merit. I don't think theymos had this in mind when he implemented merit to stop spam. That is why I opened this topic because I don't want to give merit to such users. If junior member want merit from me they can easily post here. It doesn't mean I won't give merit to anyone else ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I might suggest only giving away 8 or 9 merit points to each person so that these people will be very close to being able to rank up, but you won’t be making the decision for them to rank up on your own - at least one other person with sufficient merit will need to agree.
To be honest I was thinking about sharing 2-3 merits, as I said hopefully other members will follow. If someone is constructive I don't see why not to help such user to rank up. I don't have too much merit to give anyway.

I have some merits to share so if you are junior member and you were missed by all, post here and I will send you some merits.
Rules:
Your last 30 posts must be constructive and not spam. Don't send me PM for merit. Minimum activity required - 54 I will look at posts written in english, croatian, slovenian and serbian language Don't quote this post.
1)Should I move this somewhere else? Beginners and Help? Services? Hm. 2)As for subject, this is not really giveaway, right? I am not braking forum rules with this, right?

~ also, "tool_462", account suddenly switched from to Russian
This reminds me of some something, I will check this later maybe we can find more abusers. Nope. Please use https://archive.fo/ and archive all quoted posts just in case someone deletes them.

~ But I don't know how to get rid of them. As far as I know only admins can ban users. We can use "Report to moderator" feature, but I don't know how to use it is this case.
Report one post and write in comments: "this user is spamming forum with zero value short one line shitposts, check his post history and this thread for more accounts https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2821037.0 " If that doesn't help report accounts one by one. If that doesn't help either, report posts one by one. Then go to announcement or bounty thread, report first post and write in comments: "this user is probably using bump service to bump his thread" which is against forum rules anyway.

I actually never thought of it. Let's see, last time I've gambled was 3 maybe 4 days ago. As fortunejack is paying for signatures directly at site it is a bit harder not to push luck, but I have something different in my mind for this year so I will really see how long I can stay off gambling sites and I will update my post on my next "spin". Hm...does buying cheap shitcoins counts as gambling? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

But 2x withdrawal is not even worth for big whale player, all they need to do is winning to withdraw their money, what is the point of losing if they want to withdraw it. Fow small player here, may be it is still easy for them to recover if they lose it
It is not 2X withdrawal, it is 2X wagering, which means after wagering 2X player can withdraw whatever balance he has.

I have 500 merits as hero member. Does it mean this is minimum and I can't lose it?
Along with account sales, trust farming, cheating signature/bounty campaigns and all other shady activities I am sure we will see merit farming. It won't change single thing about spamming: Rank Required activity Required merit Brand new 0 0Newbie 1 0Jr Member 30 0Member 60 10 Instead of spamming 30 days to reach junior member status we will see newbies spamming for 2-3 months until they reach member status and join campaigns, and what will they do before they reach member status? They will create more accounts, because they will need lots accounts to get merit points and rank up to higher ranks or they will just do "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" with other "I need merit" users. Don't see how merit will help against spam. On side note can you update this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats .

My gambling was OK. I had some small regular profits from playing poker, as usual. I think the total profit of the year was about 1.500-1.800 Euros but I haven’t counted it yet. I will do when I will have to fill in my tax declaration later on in the year.
That's very nice profit, I hope they won't take you too much money ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)
I've had a pretty bad year to be honest, an overall loss of little under 1 BTC. I'm not too bothered about that and I'll probably gamble a bit less this year. ~
I was just about to write the same thing. Well, almost the same, if my calculations are correct I've lost somewhere around 1.5-2BTC. I have new goals for this year and I can't really afford to lose to much money so I will also blow away less money gamble less.

I'm only waiting for hilarious' final decision and PM, my fund is ready to swim to this pool and the current price seem to be stable at $11,500.
Same thoughts and same feels here. It would be nice to win the betting pool right? Well, dice* dust settled, looks like panic is over, price seems stable indeed, last person joined this pool 9 days ago and next game is on 30. Jan. Just crossed my mind that it is perfect time to collect money, before China Philipinie India South Korea (enter country) decide to ban regulate ban not ban ban bitcoin and cause mass panic again. edited * jesus...I have to stop dicing around.

Because of high fees as an alternative I would use litecoin and ether, if I had to choose between them I would go with litecoin. Hopefully, lighting network will be developed before all services dump bitcoin as payment method ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Hm, what do you think about stellar?* edited*

Name of the person who sold me accounts is in my feedback profile, I send him first as I was naive enough to believe people only sell accounts for signature.
When you say accounts you mean....1 account? What are the specific about the full member account, 0.03 BTC I want to buy it in afternoon or tonight if its post quality is good to excellent and 0 bans 0 loans. PM me the specifics please.
Checked and already payed you,tx Id in your PM, and am waiting for the data of the account, thank you.
Which one?

Regarding the loan is before I bought the accounts, I have bought those three accounts in 2016 as you all know.
What do you mean as we all know? No, we don't know. Care to show us proof that you have bought accounts? I haven't scam anyone from July 2016 and up ,bought my accounts a few months earlier. I even got threats about some unpaid loans of smho_16 but amount was really low so I paid it.
Now that is all what I wanted to hear. And I would like you to remove the false feedback you have left me. I am in no way affiliated with anyone here. The thing is, I hate scammers and this forum is full of them. I don't mind someone having alt accounts as long as it is all by rules(no cheating, no scamming and no buying accounts - this topic is very good example why it is always bad idea to buy accounts, if you have bought them at all) Also you gave me false retaliation, saying that I did the same thing as you did is one big lie. marlboroza u=787736 and zorrobek u=841192 are connected via bitcoin address 1AxxMUpEwNeFkVgwefp4PjGkAo4egCT792
So much for attacking other people, what valid are accusations if the accuser is accused of the same ? You see, you are requesting negative to be removed from your alt account while connection with scammer is pretty solid, in my opinion all accounts should be negative tagged - but hey, that is my opinion. My negative also shows to me that I can't trust you which is point of my negative rating anyway. I don't have anything more to discuss with you now and in future.

from posting to gambling section you come here and try to bash me without evidence.
Care to READ post above WITH evidence? This is the address I first used at the forum, this is also the one who was exposed by a forum member in Timelord thread in 2016, you can check it in wallet explorer, it will link my only 4 accounts. Why are you repeating "4 accounts and Timelord"? I posted 3-4 posts from "known alts" topic(posted by avirunes and timelord) 54 accounts connected if I counted them correctly. As you said "check wallet explorer" I actually did. Mind to explain why scammers accounts are connected with your accounts?
I would love to have my trust to neutral as I want to be enrolled in signature campaigns If your plan is to get me negative trust you will not achieve anything, as my priority now is building mining rigs which I have a lot of them and not signature campaigns ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) May I remind you that you started this topic, I gathered information posted by trusted members and made my conclusion from it and I also think when you open topic in reputation and ask for negative to be removed you should expect such post.

I have nothing to hide too.
I don't think so.
Been here for many years without scamming someone and minding my own business.
Account Cereberus was connected with account pbitcoin here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206112.msg16174365#msg16174365 but that is actually irrelevant. Account smho_16 was connected with accounts horace0812, betohell here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1702409.msg18221475#msg18221475Account betohell was connected with accounts diodio5 , ajun96 , NinjaSkills , MTBTT , betohell , blackmachinegun , adjie14 , dwihananto , DeDordtenaar , uname , kostya.ash , Alvin Fahriza ,CryptoSkills , joinal here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206112.msg17027865#msg17027865 Account diodio5 was connected to well known scammer dio, hothtszho, Engg.Akrepi, hosumfu, louise123e, yingbb0301, sun64986161, kenshi222, williamho, diodio1, retes1234, kovaa, summer11, bank2, banklunjo, retes4321, diodio5, godzerosonic, retes43210, retes12345, Engg.Chaks, y02723942001, sun64986, yinghacked, summer111, summer116, Deacidifyingbbas, sorlunjo, kenshi2121, kenshin77, kenshin_8513, d161616, Engg.Chalks.Returns, chakchaks here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1275297.msg17059136#msg17059136This https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1925386.0 makes more sense now. ~snip~ A cover for a larger dishonesty. And in this case, I smell something fishy. ~snip~
Well, when you put all connections together...

Accounts are mine, only these 4, I am not using 2 since a really long time and was using only my actual account which is my main one now and Cereberus. Which part don't you understand ?
Dude you said you were bidding to increase post count and you did it with bought account.
Excuse me for asking, but you said 4 accounts... All others are not mine although of the accusation from Timelord.
...and this looks like solid connection: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206112.msg16174365#msg16174365Which is also negative tagged for account sales. Makes me wonder...

To make my story short here is my full story.
In 2016 I was exposed by a forum user to have 4 accounts and I confirmed both 4 accounts were mine. Main account this one 2.smho_16 I have left it asleep and will not use it again 3. zend7 I have left it asleep and will not use it again 4. Cereberus , this account was tagged by The Pharmacist because I was bidding to increase my post count in auctions (yes I did that as it was allowed back then) ,
For now I see many respectable members of the community has 2 accounts both enrolled in signature campaigns. What I want is the negative feedback to be removed based on my post history of Cereberus account. If you see it has helped a ton of members in the Altcoin section and I would love to have my trust to neutral as I want to be enrolled in signature campaigns, bitcoin or altcoin. I take note to say that post quality is excellent as you can check yourself and that I have been enrolled in different signature campaigns before with great managers like Yahoo, aTriz, guitarplinker , Wapinter etc.
I take courage of not being afraid to write here what I believe is my right to do so.
If people want me to nuke zend7 and smho_16 I will do so immediately , just tell me how to. I just want to be with my 2 accounts like many other people here and have a chance to help the community ( I am a great rig builder, tester, troubleshooter) if I will be given the chance.
These are my only accounts, all other accusation from Timelord are not founded and there is not a single connection between them.
Thanks for reading everyone.
First you said accounts are not yours, then you said accounts are yours. Now you are saying I was bidding to increase my post count in auctions And back then you said: I have the accounts smho_16, zend7 and Cereberus. Yes I bought them to enter in signature campaigns ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)
These are my only accounts, all other accusation from Timelord are not founded and there is not a single connection between them. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

This week's lottery winner only had 60 tickets, and won more than 0.9 btc. One more example of a lucky player, and how useless it is to buy tickets.
I woldn't say that it is useless to buy ticket, more ticket you buy higher your chance is to win this lottery. It doesn't mean free players or player who buy few tickets can't win, just odds for that are really slim. I mean, how many players have actually won with low number of tickets? Look at his ID from post above, you really need all luck in the world to win without buying tickets.
