Well, guess what, no one will contact you with good intentions to make you rich or fall in love. If they are looking for help, you gonna pay for it.
Never, I repeat NEVER open anything from person, you don't know in person in real life.
I "won" the Canadian lottery twice, and I don't even live in Canada and never applied, we had a long conversation on the phone how can I claim my prize, that was more than 10 years ago.
Nigerian princesses looking for rescuers, Microsoft support.. etc....  shit like this is circulation on the Internet long before the crypto.
If you are willing to open some of the links, do it from a computer which has no personal information on it, and best is to use a live boot Linux distro.
Don't be naive, Internet can be dangerous if you don know what you are doing.

When I saw his post history I thought that all those threads could have been moved to the News section, but yeah, I agree that there is a very thin line between what he is doing and what is against the "rules" according to the theymos.

I'm not a forum police, but I do report some posts, so It's good to know what is crossing the line, in order not to waste both mine and Mods' time.

coinpediaJordan is posting his publications all over the forum. It's a kind of advertising his news site and generating traffic, which maybe is OK but scattering posts around in every possible board I think is a bit too much.
This should be allowed only in the News Section.

See for yourself >

Why are you people taking the forum as a full time job or making living out of it?
Having ALTs just for to join campaigns how you gonna make all those posts if you are not spamming?

I think even for nullius will be difficult to have productive discussions with so many alts.

Pharma made a good thing, fighting all those spammers, and here you are on the other side complaining how he ruined your life... c'mon get a real job.

Great, finally some rules here too
@Flying Hellfish, What is the best way to report a user with multiple shitposts? Report only one and leave a comment in the report that the user has multiple shitposts and need the mod's attention, or just report all the shitposts one by one?

Every mod has different way of taking care of the reports, so I don't want to waste both your and mine time

Actually I have no idea how the reports are handled here in the forum,and how many privileges local modes have.

To rank-up to Sr.Member you need not 1 but 150 merit. You have no merited posts yet, but you still apply?

I know the rules are a bit tight and not for everyone, but this is the idea here. If you have proven yourself and  gained so and so Merit and you need only one to rank up I'll be happy to help. But in your case, come back after 149 more merits and at least two merited posts.

One guy contact me on Facebook some time ago, asking some stupid questions about the bounties here, then ask me, home many account I have and that one of his friends was managing a few accounts with more than 80 bounties simultaneously, and he was wondering how can he managed all this work....so this is the result...

You people don't really bother to check if there's info elsewhere, right?
Quick look at the roadmap on their website shows this:

So if you expect to get tokens anytime soon, you are on the wrong side.
If by any chance this project turns out not to be scam, we won't find out before the end of the autumn.

To check my sMerit I usually open my profile /or any other profile/ and click on the merit link.
There is your /or any other/ merit history, but above the statistics you can see this :

Clicking on the > Merit> will take you to your current sMerit statistics

Maybe there are other (easier) ways, but this works for me.

Thank you, theymos. I unlock this thread because I think more people should be aware of it.
I think I'll keep it open for now.

Then I know now. Thank you. I'll lock this thread.

I'm making a list of the initial smerit for every rank, but the search did't help much.
Looking for the Full Member, Sr.member and Hero member.
I have found some numbers but I need confirmation to be sure. This info is nowhere to be found.
This is what I have so far

* based on user activity in the past year, check theymos comment.

Congrats!!
The next step is mod for the Economics section.

This thread should be locked.
From all the 3 pages with the same answers only 2-3 posts were worth it.
Note to the newbies, lock your threads after you get your questions answered.

OK, let me know what you need, I'll help with what I can


OK, let me know when everything is up and running and I'll add your link to my sig. and share it on Twitter:)

When will be selected the new mod/mods/? I guess it will take some time.

In the meantime can I entertain you with some examples of extreme shitposters accumulating activity there. They don't even try to post in English.. just a quick look>

Only 5 here but I can go on..

It's the same situation in the  Economy / Economics section.

Hope theymos finds a good solution to all this because just a few Mods cannot beat this horde of shitposters even working on a full-time job.


Edited: I'm not immune to typos, sorry.

You didn't notice the  #PunIntended, right?

@Vod
I have investigated the case, as I said in the previous topic you have locked.
Here is what I found checking the merit database dump file you posted. Quick check in Excel :



My profile ID is > 1291828

I got 142 merit and I have given 51 (the database dump is from 12.04.18)
I have initial 10 merit ( I was a Member when the merit system came).

Now I have the following according to my merit stats in the forum:

So somewhere in your calculation there is something wrong.  How do you calculate the initial sMerit? .
I was Member when the merit came and apparently I had 1* initial sMerit but now I'm Full Member and if you calculate my initial sMerit based on my current rank (Full member), the calculations will be wrong. Maybe there is the problem.

Lets check my initial sMerit to be sure>
The formula is My total Merit - Initial merit divided by 2 to get the sMerit I got. Then I take out the given sMerit til now and compare the result with my current sMerit.

(154-10)/2=72

We take out the 52 smerit I have sent til now.

72-52=20 so this does not equal to what I have now (21), so my initial sMerit was 1.


*I don't remember how much smerit I had that time, but it seems that  I had only 1 based on the calculations.
We need a table with the the initial sMerit for the different ranks.

I would like to help you advertise your project with a link in my signature if you agree. I will also share it on my twitter just to spread the word

I went 11 pages back of your post history and a lot of the them are in the bounty section. Participating in bounties is not something bad,we are trying to fight the spam here so, besides that I see you have some comments most in your local Alt section.  Found also 3-4 good posts, so here is my constitution.

Based on what I saw you are balancing on a thin line between the shitposter and OK poster. No rule breaking so far, at least I did't found any. I gave you 1 Merit because of the effort you put to write those 3-4 good posts. If you don't reduce the one line posts and focus on learning instead of the bounties, I guess this will be your last Rank Up in the near future.

Edited.

Какъв е, не го знам, като го видях се сетих за тебе.

If someone is willing to give you merit for what you've done, I don't see the point of pressing him/her to do so.
Just to say many established members will consider this line as a pure merit begging and then you are in trouble.
You can end up drowning in the Red Sea of trust, so better do what you do without asking for merit, and if people think you deserve a reward, then you get one.
Don't chase the merit, let the merit chase you

P.S. I warned you, now it's too late.
