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.

 Flying Hellfish is my choice too, as I said earlier, I'll give a hand in the cleaning of the section.

I do support the suggestion the section to be restricted for be for newbies or maybe not to generate activity ( or require some level of merit to generate activity, a way to filter the shitposters) since it is not directly related to Bitcoin/Altcoin.

Same rules should apply also for the Off topic section.

You'll say that all the shitposters will flood the Bitcoin/Altcoin sections, yeah this is true, but there are more active users ( not shitposters)  and they can do more  reports. It can be more work but it will be more control ( and more work for the moderators)

Well I do have only 154 merit check my profile, received 144 and 10 initial (I was member when merit came )

So I guess there is something wrong with the calculations.
When I get back to my PC I'll investigate it.


Edit: updated the two new merit.

Hmm, I tested my account but the calculations are not correct,

It says that I have at least 36 smerit but I actually have only 21.

I'll upload a screenshot for proof when I get to my PC

I really don't know how to formulate the subject of my thread so the people can actually understand what kind of service I provide, because no one is reading the requirements to apply.
Come back again when you need 1 merit to RANK UP

This has been discussed before, here is the last discussion we had yesterday with LoyceV. If you search you can find a lot of info.


This I suggested back in the beginning when the merit was introduced, but as I analyze it a little further I saw a lot of possibilities to cheat the system so...

Good man, welcome to the club.
The system is working no matter what.
I started from 10 and here I am, looking forward to Sr. Member.

I think theymos has to come with a bit more detailed description of his vision for this forum. I've read some pieces here and there, but now everyone has to make his own research to figure out what is right or wrong or against the forum ideology. Here is a brief preview :


I guess he has to put everything in one thread and update it with the time, like the requirements for the new forum software here. And this thread has to be pinned. It'll be inspiration for many newcomers and answer of the many questions raising every day.

From what I have read till now that the idea is to keep the freedom of speech no matter of where you are coming from, the language you speak and the colour of your skin or how rude you are as long as you don't do something illegal, which is also acceptable in a way / if you have no evidence of a real crime/ but not tolerated /like the scammers/.

I also whan to ask some simple questions in a hope to get some answers and find the logic behind them.

Why there is nothing done to prevent the bot activity here which is causing so much spam, ico pumping, account farming, etc.?

One simple puzzle solving options, like Binace have, for every post and report can have a huge impact on them. I know solving captcha is a problem for some users so it can be a local integration.

Why there is no confirmation email upon registration?
You can use whatever you want to register, even Bill Gates's address, so he cannot register with his email/ I know shitty example but still/ if he wants to.
This is also in the bot's favour.

I will gladly continue the fight against the spam but now the other side is winning with better equipment /bots/  against our bare handed spartan army  / time consuming human moderation/ despite of merit, it's a good weapon but still not enough.

Edited, added quote

My suggestion.

tl;dr - Too long; didn't read.

Just a friendly advice, take away this personal text, you gonna get yourself in trouble, DTs are not happy with merit begging, so just be careful before you get into someone's radar.

Exactly, you never loose points,  they're just rounded to whole number so you can't send 0.5.

Yes, if you get only one, you actually have 0.5 sMerit, which you can't send /for now, there can be some changes in the rules in the future/ until you receive one more.

I saw now you answered him just before me

You better read the whole thread before commenting, it's not so big, you know.
.. or you just accumulating posts for your sig. campaign?

Suggest to the OP to Lock this thread to avoid further spam, if he thinks that his question is now answered.

As I agree with you I see also weakness.
Let us take the ICO pumpers as an example, the bots are creating thousands of comments per day, I try to spare some time to browse and report some profiles in the ANN section,but there is just an disaster, well this is other topic.

As bots are created to post in the threads, seems to be easy to make a bot to report threads.
Here is an example of a report link > Well, you have some cool down time between reports for sure, but I don't think this will stop them as they can adjust the time between reports.
So you have two bots running, one spamming, other reporting. Then you have an extra income when doing the ico pumps from farming menit and selling accounts.

There is an option like captcha to be added for both posting and reporting, but many users already have trouble using it for login so it has to be locally integrated.

Of course there will be real people reporting too, so it's kind of put the shiposters to do some good work, but I don't know what will be the impact of reporting.

It's maybe good in one way but just imagine all the shitposters hungry for merit what they can do if such change is accepted? Creating shit-threads only to report them accumulating merit. There are many ways to abuse system like this and you are not the first to suggest it. It has been discussed before, just search the forum

There are many like him. The registration date is back from 2012. There were some changes before, I read that sometime ago all avatars were removed, then were allowed again. I think there were different rules on wearing avatar and not so many restrictions as today. I guess people wearing avatars with lower ranks back then kept their avatars till now.

Here is a reference > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1970254.0

Here is another example > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=59078

Also there was a case with another member just few months ago, he couldn't remove his avatar because he got his rank lowered, but I can't find this thread anymore.
