For the fact that the names are weird,doesnt indicate in anyway that they are shill accounts,most forum members would like to register with their real names or at least a nickname,but more often than not,due to the enormous number of entrants daily,such names had already been taken by another user, whether active or inactive.
So one just goes after a random,sometimes meaningless username in the hope that it's a free one, and If it is,why not......

The old system was actually not that much effective,and it was not really easy for the administrator handling numerous recovery issues,the more reason why there's been an upgrade on the methodologies of recovering hacked or stolen accounts
I think I saw a post recently on the recovery process coming along pretty good
Just follow the steps linked by S_Therapist,and I doubt it'll be too long before you have your account back, as long as due process is followed accordingly.

Nothing other than reporting such spam bots to the moderator,and you can also report spam posts and mega threads in this topic spam busters

Just as you said there is as of yet no more new or effective method to handle the situation,but reporting those threads works just fine

Just as I commented in a thread some minutes ago,its really been a good 2019 thus far for the bitcoin community in terms of post quality,and if we keep moving at this pace it wouldn't be long before the shitposters actually find less of threads their knowledge would be able to comprehend effectively
Especially in the poor African countries ravaged by poverty as a result of poor governance,and incompetent government,the more the knowledge of cryptocurrency spreads to such areas,the better for them,but with a reasonable lack of knowledge about the system(over there)it maybe difficult to inculcate to a reasonable degree

O-e-l-e-o is one of them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5093287.0
And his application was approved speedily,it shows things are rather moving up quickly in here(2019 hasn't started bad at all ) and also the fact that his posts are all quality and he sure will be able to judge which post is worth some merits.
Now there would be less dearths of Smerits in your portfolio,as I can relate/understand how frustrating it is to come across merit worthy posts but not having the Smerits to splash out.

But on a second thought, judging by your spending rate,i don't think it'll be long before you complain about a shortfall again

Can one apply at the moment,in anticipation for a spot sometime or the other/soon
Or should we wait for a spot to be available and advertised by the manager

I'll love to apply and advertise for this project/campaign

The only reason why people feel this crash is somewhat strange is cos of the bubble last year, it rose believe,even among those who had a clear paltry knowledge of what the bitcoin investment is all about.
This belief even rose to the extent of the feeling that the bitcoin would resist a crash,the hype was just so much and everyone was looking to make money and zoom off
This is the reality of things,bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme

You have actually done something similar in the past.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5062649.msg47546891#msg47546891
And it didn't still seem to deter them(quote abusers) it's just an Indication that people will keep quoting and you'll keep meriting undeserved shitposters,and they'll keep ranking up to earn higher in here from the very same shitposting.

I understand you wanted to make a point,but in this forum today,most users pay less attention to that,they just do as they please

This is indeed a welcome development ad simply goes go show that you're really putting in effort to make the forum a better place and more accommodating for every user.
What most users must understand is that a change in the system takes time to implement as numerous factors would have to be put into considerations,this has really been a long time coming,but it's better late than never.
Good work theymos!

Well to hodl looks like the last resort for now, probably maybe except one is still yet in profit,thats the current price is less that what the user purchased for,that will be the old boys who bought bitcoins a long time ago
If not that selling would mean losing,but hodling means you've not yet gained nor lost, thus if you do not have any big problems in real life, hodl on then

There is no need spilling wrong informations,its a bear market today for the bitcoin,and that is not in doubt,whatever theories you bring out to back up your claim,does not still change the fact that the market is in a state of decline which ultimately means the market is bearish.
Can you give us a little proof as of your claim of "bitcoin founders" having an effect on the price of the bitcoin,i wonder who this founders really are

Yeah,i think stop--loss is an effective measure to at least reduce the effects of loss,and reduce the amount in an investment we probably could have lost
It's best to implement it and not keep hoping,because most times one could be wrong and the price plummets to little or nothing.
Just as there happens to be no quick way to be successful in real life,that also applies in trading,it takes numerous measures to be able to successful in trading

There are many softwares I think that enable one to do arbitrage trading,but in my opinion,its not so profitable and embodies high amount of risks
Checking out for minor difference in price on different exchanges,could be tasking and the disparity isn't much most times to accrue anything worthwhile.
It's better to trade the normal way

Considering the way and manner in which you've put this deleted post"appeal",I do not think we have to look far to know the exact reason why your post was probably deleted and may keep getting deleted.
It's best if you post in your local boards at least until your English cones up to the level of being coherent to say the least

I'm not trying to dissuade you from your plans,but in my honest opinion,paper trading is more or less useless and it really doesn't educate one on how to trade, in paper trading things hardly ever go wrong as the stakes are inconsequential.
Investing with a real little amount of money would be a far better idea and give you a platform to build on that profitless paper trading

There is no chance in a million years,you'll be able to keep track with all this manipulations carried out mostly by bots.
If it was so easy to speculate and be close to being correct,we'll all be rich through such means as we'll be able to see the bull coming.
To me it's highly improbable to foresee the market movements.

If you wanna fail woefully in trading,then trade based on expert analysis or so called chart study,you will either end up losing a whole lot of money or in the end realizing(probably when it's too late)that the market is unpredictable.
You'll have to Stay longer in here and also be patient to reap future rewards

It seems you wanna trade with a huge amount,and most exchanges do not require identification for some amount when trading,lets say from 100 dollars down.
So it maybe down to the amount you intend to trade with
You could check out localbitcoins, the last time I checked they do not require user ID or you could also trade via OTC

It's not possible for all bots trading platforms to be scams,but it emits a whole lot of risk,same as manual trading though.
But if you ask me it's much better and safer to trade manually,and without the use of an automatic computer(Bot)

Reading a whitepaper I must confess is actually boring,considering how long they usually are, I do not read all the whitepapers of projects I've both invested or advertised for
I simply tend to study whitepapers of promising projects and the ones I envisage I'll be tempted to hodl for a very long period
The whitepaper gives you an idea,a focal point of what the team actually has up their sleeves,its best to take out time to study it, and if anything isn't so clear or is obscure to you,then you can forward your concern to the team,if they have issues answering you, it's most probably a shitty or scam project
