It's true and this part made me laugh when I was reading it. But it sounds like you are threatening him not to do that.

Those who have not removed him from their trust list, not even felt to write a few words in this topic, just ignoring everything about this topic and the other topics created in the last few weeks, I think someone should investigate the feedback they left, the people they trust and distrust, the merits they sends and receives. I doubt we will not find unnecessary positive feedback with no trade reference, trust list with backscratching and merit fans to each others.

It must be your internet connection. I am using the forum with TOR connection and it feels normal.

Isn't it better to give the website urls so that anyone who is interested can see the position of the website for the keywords it is targeting. How will we know that you were behind the success of the sites? Do you have your own site that is ranked too?

Sorry for all these questions because unless you have a detailed portfolio, it's hard to believe that you will deliver which you are promising. There used to be a time when it was easy to make the customers dump but these days it's hard.

There are no need to change password very often but at least twice in a year is not bad at all. But I doubt many of us do it at all. If I am not mistaken I have changed my password when my account was hacked and since then I never thought to do so again.

Payment depends on the amount of exposure and competitions between competitors. This forum has enough monthly traffic to convince advertisers spending their money. The campaign mangers are also doing great works in making the signature campaign more demand-able.

You are correct. This topic achieved its goal. It's clear that Ratimov used the holes and tricked forum staffs which caused to create this thread.

I understand you had a long gap in-between you left the forum and rejoined here. Instead of asking questions [beginners level] that makes no sense to us, try to educate yourself with the development of the forum when you were absent. Many things will make sense for you then. Until you do, it's better not to leave any comment in any topics which are related to reputation and forum itself.

I don't know which references you are looking for while all things are already everywhere from the discussions from several of us in last few days, even the forum admin convinced that his staffs were tricked, the forum staff himself feels he did bad job. I have no time to continue the discussion to convince a single person. You think all is good? Good for you.

Those deleted contents, moving them to archive then trying to wipe them out with the help of mediators from public view were not intended to shorter or compact a discussion.


🤫
Yes, he is a veteran forum member after all.

Do we both get 1mBTC each or we share 1mBTC? Not a big deal though.

Ask everyone, I am sure every single one of us had this desire inside to have the 1st place. Unfortunately those of us who are miles away from the top have no hope left.

Great! do we get anything for having the yellow cap? I guess I am expecting a free bet? If so then I am going to get into gambling again LOL

From the PL pool, my only hope that I do not lose the side bet against you. Other than this, I do not have any other motivation to try for a place in that pool.

Yes Retimov is a veteran member
[1.] He has long experience in stealing others work [even avoided ban for plagiarism], a thief.
[2.] He has long experience in farming merit in the forum to position himself as 3rd merit earner [we were able to set him as a role model, Ratimov medals Ratimov], a merit farmer.
[3.] He has long experience in manipulating DT system to positing himself with 14 DT strength, a DT abuser.
[4.] He has long experience in conducting deals to grow his feedback page with +22 positive feedback, a trust farmer.
[5.] He has long experience in using trust feedback to hostage the feedback sender to offer peace, a feedback abuser.

We need a custom title for Ratimov: A veteran intellectual thief, merit farmer, DT abuser, trust farmer, feedback abuser. Just like this


Joking apart, what do you feel about his merit source status? You said yourself
What are the possibility of you not being tricked?
I think I was tricked with all his fake good if I supported his merit source application [moved to trash I think], I also think many others who were supporting the same application tricked with all his fake good. He received the status and was using the source merits to create a fake community around him with the merit beggars.

Are you still going to give special importance in personal involvements or you now can see the other issues are more important than personal?

You did what should be done, there are no late in correcting mistake. If you would do the same and used your brain before making everything so messy like it became now then no one would try to point the fingers towards you and the other mod. I really hope you will use this experience to learn a good lesson. All the best.

Two years but there are not much contribution from you in the forum. I think any forum member or crypto projects will only think to ask help from someone who has contributed in the forum and have a good track record of working with others.

Copper membership may help to showcase your previous work but you still need a good rank and reputation.

Make $250 more profit from another trade and solve the problem yourself. You must know by now you have zero percent chance to receive anything from anyone. Sorry, you need to accept the reality.

Yes, that's him. PowerGlove, you know now 🤓

I don't know if the other patches were added but OP patch was the most useful so far for me and I loved it too.

Seems not many have mouth to hold a discussion in this topic 🤓

Wake up! I had to bump the thread from the 4th page, WTF!
This is the only pool where I think I have a chance to win something. I even now started to fear if I will lose the side bet with CLS63 in PL pool LOL

I checked it earlier and it's 3. From the beginning of the season I am looking for one exact score and I know this is the first one LOL. Are you sure you saw it on LaLiga pool or any other pools like Serie A and Premier League.

Right now my position is 28th out of 28 LOL

I had time to remove some users from mentioning in this post. Some user seems not active in the forum and some do not seem to have interest in discussion but the following users I found don't mind taking part in discussions and I will expect some feedback from them about the whole things.

wwzsocki, LFC_Bitcoin, klarki, The Sceptical Chymist, imhoneer, CryptopreneurBrainboss, Best_Change, andy_pelevin , KTChampions, Coin-1, Bitcoin_Arena, tranthidung, tvplus006, witcher_sense, DdmrDdmr, madnessteat, 1miau, FontSeli, YOSHIE, bullrun2020bro, light_warrior.

Using half an hour of your time will help you to make an informative decision that you will not regret later. Have you read the main topic yet?

He cares but he has ran out of stories. He knows he has caught red handed.

I don't even bother to recall if that is from recent or old. The expression I give is, F**k it!

Like you hinted on the title, a link can solve it. I saw a user [sorry can not recall his username] who creates SMF patches. He may try something for theymos.

Does look more fishy. The topics/posts were not reported but Xal0lex have managed to found 30 topics [we have no data how many posts] and deleted them! I too don't understand that and for sure many others will not.

Unfortunately he is in a difficult position now.

That's exactly what responsibility means. The other mod seems ignored and, deliberately avoided the point on the other topic in his responses.  

Thank you for giving a clear idea of how it was done. In the second type we assume these were self-moderated threads. The first type were regular topics, he deleted his own posts, emptied the main topic and then local mod [Xal0lex] cleaned it up.

Xal0lex would you help us to understand how you found the topics/posts to clean up if they were not reported?

Have you started your research from this topic from GazetaBitcoin? I will appreciate any input from anyone who have read that topic then read the 2nd topic from LoyceV.

The main man needs to look into the matter, he has the supreme access of everything including access of the forum PM [the communication can be done using a none forum media too] and the database. No, this is not a reputation matter, this is a forum issue hence the topic is on the meta board.

The moderators in question: Russian local board moderators Xal0lex and xandry.

There are not enough public links for unusual moderation from xandry yet however since the activities concentrated in the Russian local board we can not ignore his involvement too. Again as I said the main man [Theymos] have ultimate access of everything for investigation. Let's bring everything that questions the unusual moderation.

Everything had started a few days ago when LoyceV created a topic about deleting his post in a self-moderated topic and later it found out that the same user was deleting several other's posts too from his self-moderated topic and the fact had established that he was deleting the posts to cover the trace of his past plagiarism, current feedback abuse, DT manipulation and his tactics of offering peace to negotiate any feedback left to him. Everything about the user has outlined very well in the topic "Should Ratimov be in DT?". It requires almost half an hour read to understand and realize the motive of the user. I highly suggest to read the topic, if you have not yet.

At some point it was discovered that Ratimov was following a very simple strategy to cover up his past and current evil activities to achieve whatever goal he has. The steps are following [the order of the steps can be different in case by case but it is believed that the executions were very similar as explained in the following]
[a.] He moves his topics to Archive
[b.] He deletes his own posts
[c.] He moves the topic to the Russian local board. This is where Russian moderators come into our knowledge.
[d.] He reports other's posts from the topics.
[e.] Moderators delete the reported posts because now these posts are irrelevant in the discussion
[f.] He removes everything from the main topic and makes it an empty topic
[g.] He reports the empty topic to the moderator
[h.] Finally the moderator wipes out the entire topic.

A very lengthy but simple and effective strategy to wipe out any unwanted record. Anyone can delete their past posts which is not wrong but the way the whole things were done, it was not usual.  It definitely is questionable. So questions were asked, we had our speculations too.


Response were given but more like a few excuses with a few return questions. Sounds like a preplanned dialog in defense in case there are questions.

Unpleasant merit transactions found by GazetaBitcoin but I would like to accept speculation from LoyceV, "It's quite normal for a Merit source to Merit someone when they use the same local board. I don't expect the posts to be bad, so it's not wrong."

How can a moderator or moderators do not see a single user is following a pattern and using him [them] to remove many other's posts including his entire topics. Not 1 or 5 or 10. Let's read what he said.
30 Topic! Out of 78 and yet nothing looked unusual to him. That's only 30 topics, how many posts these 78 topics had those were reported and deleted?
A database query will surely show the numbers and also it will show how many topics and posts were deleted by the same moderator but he never thought something is not normal.

No more speculations.

At some point the same moderator became unusually aggressive in his defense too.
When you are not guilty, there are no need to lose your control. The moderation is questionable either it was a mutual agreement or an innocent irresponsibility.

What matter is, are we going to allow moderators who do not have a sense of responsibility, the liability and loyalty to preserve the reputation of bitcointalk? An investigation is required first to find if the moderators are guilty of mutual agreement or it was an innocent irresponsibility. Second, based on the result of the investigation, an action is required.

I can not remember who was the last mod but I can clearly see that so many of them are not active in moderation. The forum moderation is not incentivize much too, I get this idea from some other mods who actually think it's a volunteering job. It may sound exciting to be a forum mod but when you are not receiving much in return then basically you become slow. Feeling less responsible ultimately disappears the enthusiasm.

We can create many sub-boards but getting used to with the new boards and moving topics to the new boards is going to be a lot of work. The culture we created does not look, it has a good potential.
