Adding image in your post is not that hard, you just need to follow these steps (please note that you need to be in a position higher than Newbie):

This is not working with .png format. You better do that:

You can go to the drop down many, next to the "Copy" button and select "get share links".
There you go for "BBcode Forums".

There are already many threads like this, just search the forum.

Am I just being overly paranoid or is there other people out there who are installing business firewalls in the house?

No, you are not paranoid, I have a home setup with pfsence and I'm pretty happy with it. Having a secure vpn connection wherever I am and secure access to everything I need in my home network. Also load balancing the two internet connection so if something happens I always have a backup

To all of you asking how to get merit, here is a tip. Chaseing the merit points will lead you only to a higher quality spam.



Almost 90% of the people who after the merit will end up in this trap.
Just educate yourself a little more about the blockchain technology and bitcoin, be creative and helpful and the points will start to flow.
See my merited posts for reference Smiley
5004  Other / Meta / Re: Forum feature request: set Alt-text by default for all embedded images on: February 17, 2018, 07:28:09 PM
I do agree with the idea. I even reported one post because of a huge image was loading and I was not aware of it. With this feature it will be much easier.
I will use is this way until/if/ they implement it in the forum.
5005  Other / Meta / Re: A summon to all native or non native English speakers. on: February 17, 2018, 07:16:56 PM
What do you people think when you see not so perfect post in terms of grammar or vocabulary?

I can say for myself that I'm far from being perfect since I learned English by myself. I do speak and I can express myself in a way that others can understand, but I can feel that I'm far from the level I want to be at. Well I do speak 3 more languages and since I'm living in a foreign country - Norway my Norwegian is taking over the others. I know, it's not easy and there are many like me here.
Enough off topic now.



I see it that way, the forum is not a language school, it's created and supported as an English speaking forum with a privilege to the NNES / non-native English speaker/ to have sections in their own language.

If you are on a level that you cannot express yourself in English so the others can clearly understand your point then you should address your topics to your local section. If the matter is urgent, because sometimes it happens, it can be excuse but no more.
By pointing out the mistakes you generate extra off topic and since most of the "broken English" threads are created with direct translate with google it will not help much.

You have to give little more time to the merit system. You cannot expect to be 100% efficient from day 0. There are more merit sources now and many new applications.
Regarding the de-merit and what you suggest is more like the trust system we have now. De-merit options have to be given to the merit sources. They already distribute the merit and it will be good if they can punish the merit abuses.

Apologies for the off topic it's a really great work you are doing but this is part of your post is a little "wobbling" or let's say unordered.
let me suggest a small correction if you don't mind :

Rank   Required activity   Required merit
Brand new   0   0
Newbie   1   0
Jr Member   30   0
Member   60   10

I suggest to replace it with this code.

Code:
[table][tr][td][b]Rank[/b][/td][td][b]Required activity[/b][/td][td][b]Required merit[/b][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Brand new[/td][td]0[/td][td]0[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Newbie[/td][td]1[/td][td]0[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Jr Member[/td][td]30[/td][td]0[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Member[/td][td]60[/td][td]10[/td][/tr]

Just let me know and I will delete this comment. Cheers

Signatures had already been disabled for Jr members. Signature campaigns like 777 coin has removed all such participants already.

I see newbies and Jr. Members wearing signatures at least here in the Meta. You can see the OP of this topic as reference. I guess theymos removed the ability to add links to the signature but not the whole signatures.
5010  Other / Meta / Re: [List] Suspected users that are abusing merit 3.0 on: February 16, 2018, 01:09:55 PM
Excellent you are truly correct, we need to work hard and we need to post the best as we can. Because if we gain merit from evil we have no different to a cheater.
I also agree that all of the link of the users in this thread are not guilty but they have a mark now. So stop making suspicious move to lessen the eye watching in your account.

No one is guilty here until proven but everyone has to know that there is some kind of control here and if you don't follow the rules sooner or later you gonna get caught, and there will be consequences.

Ah, but this was very bad was going to jump up and I need to get the full rank of career 150 merit water! Who gave me so much credit? It was a very unfair situation. We could count on our activity.
Please someone speaking Turkish to confirm it.
5012  Other / Meta / Re: Indicator for "marked as reported" in the forum on: February 16, 2018, 09:52:25 AM
In addition to the OP suggestion I would be happy if after the report is done we are not kicked out of the thread but redirected back to the reported post, so we can continues reading.
This is something very annoying,I do go back with a few clicks but I'm not sure when I do this if I report the post again, like it was with the merit. If you give merit and go back, you are giving twice.

5013  Other / Meta / Re: Merit system is not working, failed! on: February 16, 2018, 08:26:48 AM

I propose to disable signatures for Jr. Members or implement Merit system for Jr. ranks (5 Merits for example).


Yeah this will solve part of the problem, 5 Merit and no sMerit for the existing jr. because they will distribute the Merit to the other alts.
Probably de-merit option in the hands of the merit sources will also be a good solution, so they can give penalties to the ones abusing the system.
In addition, less work for the Mods and Admins Wink
5014  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Rank, Activity and Merit points calculator, v2 on: February 16, 2018, 08:18:43 AM
  I am posting consistently with quality replies (not just "hi" or "this site is great" or "I agree").  I am accruing many posts (over 180)  but my merit remains pinned at "10" or at a newbie to jr member level.  Quite the discrepancy between the amount I am posting, my activity  and the merit value. 

Not understanding the merit system at all.

I guess all I can do is continue to post (because the topics interest me) and let the "merit" and "activity" take care of itself (HOPEFULLY) over time.
 
Yes, just give it some time. It's just 20 days since it was introduced so big part of the community is not aware of it yet. When the time comes to rank up, they will find out about the Merit and how it works and will begin to distribute it too.
5015  Other / Meta / Re: Good posts not rewarded with merits on: February 15, 2018, 02:52:14 PM
If it were possible I would give de-merit to merit beggars. But de-merit is problematic, since scammers and shills would abuse it to lower the merit of people making sense...

Interesting idea, maybe the merit sources can have control on the de-merit, since they can distribute and monitor the post quality. They are selected to take this responsibility. The perception of quality posts can differ between the different sources, but they can de-merit the ones abusing the system.
Well I guess this has been discussed before.
5016  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Suicide due to losses due to investment in virtual currency on: February 14, 2018, 08:17:22 PM
While reading all the comments here, both positive and negative I see many people do not realize that this is not for everyone.
People who have never had any contact with the stock market and see the digital currency as an easy way of getting rich are all wrong. Read before the dip that some people are planning to sell their houses for crypto, investing all their live savings in bitcoins. It is completely normal to have such a deadly outcome. Sorry for the guy, but he is not the first one and differently not the last one who done something that he was not prepared to. When you invest in such things and you have no knowledge about the risk management you have to consider the investment lost, if you really lose it it won't hurt that much because you was prepared for it, but if you get some profit out of it, this is good. Take out what you have invested so you will be on 0 and then risk as much as you want.
5017  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: February 14, 2018, 06:50:19 PM
It would be nice if we can get a merit menu like "Last merit post" and"Top merited posts for last 24h" for every section and subsection. So everyone can check the top merited posts in off-topic section for example, then you have more control on how merit is distributed. I know that we have already top and last merited posts in the whole forum but I think it won't be a bad idea to have control on the local sections also.
Just an idea Smiley
5018  Other / Meta / Re: The reality is 99.9% members can never rank up with the new merit system. on: February 14, 2018, 02:50:36 PM

I understand what you say but I disagree. In the beginning I came here find a way to get some satoshi from faucets, to play some dice and sh!t. But hey, things have changed. I was more and more interested to understand how actually blockchain works and what this thing - bitcoin was. Then I went deeper and I started a Blockchain course on edx.
I was mining bitcoin back in 2013 just for to test it, but I had no idea what I was doing that time.

I don't care anymore if there will be any sig campaign or bounty here. Yeah, collecting some coins it is fun and somehow exiting but this is not the only point I'm here. Not anymore. I'm here because I want to be the part of making the future, because blockchain technology is the future,it has many applications and many ways to develop. Now are the "dark ages" abusing the technology for profit/scamming/stealing but sooner or later the things will change. We are in the very begging and if I can be part of it and help with what I can I will be happy.
5019  Other / Meta / Re: Merits disappear, when posts are edited? on: February 14, 2018, 12:57:11 PM
Maybe you didn't edit whole post as in the case, I saw.

No, I haven't, I just change small things and add more text, that's all. Can you track the points from the merit page? Maybe you can post the actual post here.

Накратко, трябвало е да си във форума 9месеца - 1 година преди вкарването на тази система.
В момента, за да получиш мерит трябва да постнеш нещо толкова уникално, че някой да се сети да те меритне, понеже сигурно повече от 60% от хората във форума не знаят това за какво служи и все още никой не раздава мерит току-така.
Накратко - ако преди са ти трябвали грубо казано 1 месец и 60 поста, за да станеш Мембър, сега ти трябва и 10 мерит отгоре на това,за което пожелавам успех на всеки един от нас(говоря за нюбитата) , понеже скоро ранк ъп няма да има  Grin
Силно се надявам девовете да преосмилят малко тая система с мерита, защото прогрес много слабо да има... и масово хората ще са джуниъри или мембъри с по 500 поста и 500 активити, понеже никои няма да се сети да ти даде мерит за някой "качествен пост" или ще го трейдват най-вече :Д

Мисля, че системата работи добре и вече има ефект. Идеята на теймос е да намали спама и безсмислените постове и да обезкоражи тия дето са само за печалба тука. Е, разбира се, че ще има засегнати и недоволни, но да ти кажа, не е невъзможно да се развиваш. Ето, на мен ми трябват 38 мерти да за стигна Full member. Мисля, че ще успея да го направя в близките 2 седмици докато чакам  активитито да се вдигне.
Гледай да не спамиш и да не лъжеш системата и ще имаш успеваемост. Нужно е време всичко да заработи както трябва, много хора не знаят за тая система и как работи и сМерит точките им стоят неупотребени, с времето нещата ще се променят.
Предложих админа да прати ЛС на всички членове и да ги информира за промяната ама едва ли някой ще обърне внимание.
Упсех на всички.
