Despite big number of confirmed cases, there is no quarantine in Sweden. Restaurants, shops work as usual, there is many people on streets and parks without face masks. Only events with more than 50 people is banned. So, they even play football friendly games without spectators.
Don't knowvabout Australia, but from stats that you've posted, situation doesn't looks bad in their country, so maybe such events is allowed.

Offcourse it's not allowed. It's called faucet abuse. Reporting these things is almost pointless, because there is no way to know User ID's of that person. But Freebitco.in fighting with these abusers daily and they ban them sooner or later.
It's also very likely that's just scam attempt and this user selling not working method to abuse faucet.

Dude, please don't do that. Suicide isn't a solution. You're given just one life - don't waste it. You said that you don't care anymore, but if it would true, you probably wouldn't post that here. I understand that your situation is complicated, but I'm sure that better that problems will be gone one day, just don't give up and prove that these people were wrong.
I'm not psychologist and I don't know how I can help you. But I'm sure that there is people around you who can help.

It's not first time when I see similar thing in post history. When you post very long code, whole code stays in one line and it makes you post history to look like this.
It's not a big and very important issue, but it would be nice if theymos would fix it.

Seems that France GP will be postponed too, because all public events are forbidden in France until middle of July.
It feels like this F1 season won start at all. Well maybe in autumn they will be able to held races, probably without spectators. But there a lot of crazy changes in calendar will be needed, with races almost every weekend. It will be nightmare in terms of logistics.

These masks looks nice, but probably it's just a joke what @cygan posted. I can't imagine football players playing with masks. First, these masks would become wet very soon, probably they would have to change it every 5-10 minutes. And wearing face masks on football game would be pointless thing because it won't protect players. Football is not contactless sport...

Yeah, current situation in the world is strange and worrying. So, I understand that when user disappear during these strange times, it raises questions like in your post. But as already said, it's common thing for TMAN that he "disappear" sometimes. But now it's good to know that he is fine.

They got some more complaints and questions that they failed to answer, and guess what - they just looked their ANN thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237705.60
So, if you can't respond to accusations, putting head into sand and ignoring everything is best option now...

As other people mentioned, it's pretty much common thing for TMAN. He don't spend 365 days in year on forum. It's frequent thing that he don't post for few weeks on months.
OP, I understand that you had good intentions and was concerned about TMAN, but I'm not sure making threads about users who become inactive is needed. Unless they gone very strangely and questionable. People have life outside forum, so it's understandable that they disappear sometimes.

So, what exactly you're offering? I'm sure that some of forum members lost their jobs and were forced to sell their crypto in this difficult situation.
But I'm not sure how we can help them. I agree with user above that's not forum issue. It's more task for governments and local charities to help them. And helping to forum members probably would increase number of scam attempts. Because there is no way to provevthat they really need help.

I have watched some marble races on Youtube few weeks ago, but hell, I'm not that desperate to bet on it . It's interesting how they determine odds, because it's completely random thing which marble will win.
Trotting - well, I had to Google to see what this term means. In simple words, it's good old horse racing. But betting on horse races always been quite a big and popular thing among gamblers. But when there is not much other sport events, people who never bet on it before started to show interest. But as I see, there is not many horse races in action now because of pandemy.

Yes, it's to early to write-off Dembele, he is still young. But I don't expect that he will show something what we expected in Barcelona. His attitude, injuries - I don't see his future in Barcelona. There is always big risk to buy young player for such big money. In current situation it will be difficult to sell him, but I think it will be possible when world will return to normal life.

Oh, we didn't had thread with complaints about merit system for a quite long time. OP, I think you're wrong.
It's OK, and it actually was one of points of merit system. Users who are making quality posts aren't leaving this forum because they aren't struggling to get merits and rank-up. While users who can't make good posts and don't get merits, it's not a problem that they are leaving, because in most cases they don't contribute anything to forum.
But can you tell where they are going to, because there isn't many alternative forums, especially these which have things like signature campaigns. Porobably only Cryptotalk comes as closest alternative.

I don't think it's good idea. I think it may increase abuse of merit system. Also, in first place, why do we need to rush rank-up proccess?

Well, it was 5-6 years wgo, so I don't remember exactly. IIRC, there was about 20 ads per day available, each worth $0.002 if I'm not mistaken.
It was possible to rent referrals, but they were bots who didn't clicked many ads that you wouldn't reach ROI.

I don't want to discourage you, but I'm not sure about your perspectives in campaign management. Now there is simply way more signature campaign managersvthan available campaigns. Most campaign mangers, even experienced ones are struggling to get hired. Most of campaigns now are managed by just 2 most popular managers. For new manager without experience it's extremely difficult to get a job.
Offcourse, there is altcoin blunties, but I think it's not worth to look at this area. There is just too many scams, so risks both for manager and participants is too big.
There is few new managers who started in 2019 and got hired by few companies, but they'we been around on forum for fewvyears already. So, you may try your luck when it will be right time. You won't loose nothing by just trying .

Either it will be custom title or badge, I don't see any reasons why it would be bad idea. It's always sad to hear about Bitcointalk member passing away, but that's a life and we can't do anything about it. Members who left their mark in Bitcointalk history, like Bruno or Zepher should be honoured.

Oh, I remember when I used Neobux PTC. Without referrals you can get something like $0.02/day, so it's huge waste of time.
Yeah, people who earn less than $1 probably don't have smartphone and internet connection. But even if you live in very poor country, I think it's not worth to click faucets and PTC all day long, unless you have thousands of referrals. It's waste of time for minimal reward. If you have device with internet connection, there is so many better ways how can make money online.

My last deleted post was quite long time ago - it was on 2nd September 2019. And there probably was even 1 year period without deleted posts. I don't have many posts deleted - I just found 8 notifications about deleted posts and few of them come from self-moderated topics.

RIP, Bruno...
So sad to hear these news. Bitcointalk community will never forget you and your legacy always will be there.

There is more countries than just North Korea without confirmed cases. It's Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Lesotho, Comoros and some islands in Oceania.
I doubt that information about North Korea is real. Despite imposing strict restrictions early, it's very likely that virus csme from China. It's their main trading partner and they have long border with it. And I doubt that they are even testing people. I read that 180 soldiers died in March, but obviously there is no information about COVID-19.
In Turkmenistan situation is really weird. Word coronavirus is officially banned in this country and you can be even sent to jail for wearing face mask in public. So, I doubt that we can trust that there is zero cases in this country.
While islands in Oceania is safer place. Population is small, it's isolated and not many people came here from other countries.
