Activity increases every 14 days, so, no matter what, you can put hundred of quotes and yet, you will have 15 activity as much every 14 days... so...
He/she will become another "Forever junior" eventually and probably get banned sooner or later.
Yeph, no matter how many posts that shitposter made every day it will be useless once s/he become banned and I'm sure s/he will end up banned. Just let him/her suffer spamming and let's just see what will happen to those accounts soon.

Also, there's nothing to be afraid about these kind of spammers because they will stuck in Jr. Member, once 5 or 1 Merit required to rank up to Jr. Member has been implemented, those spammer will be Newbie rank forever.



Jajajaa.. yeah. Let them become "forever Juniors", let them invest their energy in all those shitty post, and, after getting banned, let them come and cry.  Grin

Do you mean 14 activity?
yes , 15 as much , depending on the central time etc. but yes. What I mean is that "farming activity" is an stupid concept, the activity has its own time

I mean, there is one person who owns a lot of accounts, and he's trying to spam a topic to increase activity by invalid way. I think the forum does not allow that?

Ok. Report it. Unnecessary and redundant bumps are not allowed. There are even places receiving money for bumping services  Huh Huh and also places offering to create and account and  give it some activity too.

According to the bible too, you can have a small tree in flames talking to you; you can kill entire civilizations; you can rape a woman freely; you can kill homosexuals; you can get into fire women and children for god to breathe their "aromas"; you can put all the species into a big ship; you can open the waters; you can actually walk in the water...
So maybe this is time to stop believing this book. I rather prefer to believe in the Lord of the Rings. This is a fantasy that suits me more.

Hello admins,
                   I don't copy my posts or post nonsense but still my posts don't get counted ( I see 193 before and now I see only 190 ) ? May I know the reason please . Thank you very much and I would like to change my next posts according to your valuable suggestions .



In general your post count is going to decrease if:
- You are quoting on unnecessary megathreads
-...so the thread you quoted is deleted
- You open a new thread that is redundant.
- If you are writing in serious discussion, then your posting count is not going to increase the number, but I doubt it, probably are the first two reasons.
6287  Economy / Economics / Re: Newbies panic & Old timers smile, when the Bitcoin price take a dip. on: August 12, 2018, 03:08:23 PM


Buy the Dip and Sell on the Spike for the highest return on your investment. No Signature campaign or Bounty campaign can beat a 800%+ increase in the price.  Wink

True- Most of the newbies are not even interested on the crypto ecosystem but in making some bucks in here. I don`t understand why they can`t see that, actually, the forum is a great place full of opportunities beyond a bounty.
In here there is a lot of information, many of "first hand" and you are going to be unable to find this information elsewhere. For instance, and, in addition to the OP great piece of advice I encourage you guys to read from time to time this board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=87.0

You will be unable to replay, but un there you will find some succulent information related to big opportunities about crypto, as well as other interesting points.
Many of you don`t go away from the Altcoin Boards and maybe this mere one. Well, explore the forum, learn about this brave new world.
6288  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestions for improving the forum on: August 12, 2018, 02:10:47 PM
Dear like-minded people! I'm on the forum relatively recently. Nevertheless, I managed to notice that this forum turned into a rivalry, for the right to participate in bounty campaigns.
Well, this is not for the forum concern. Meaning: if there is rivalry for entering in a bounty, that`s good, isn`t it? Let the best win  Grin

The forum is interesting for different people! Among them, many people who do not want to participate in the bounty campaigns that are held at the forum. Now outside the forum there are many platforms where the bounty campaigns are held. They can easily replace the platform for bounty campaigns that is here.
Ok, you are meaning that you suggest bounties to disappear or to create another side to place them?

I think many will agree that with the introduction of a new system of assigning ranks, the very concept of "rank" has changed the meaning.

If earlier the rank testified to the activity and usefulness of the participant to other forum participants and the forum itself, now it is about its usefulness for bounty campaigns.
You are totally wrong in this one. The older ranking system was based just on activity. The "new one" is based both in activity and in usefulness, not in bounties.

I invite the owners of the forum to think about how to separate the bounty campaign from the forum and return the previous, fair system of awarding ranks. Because the very concept of "forum" suggests that here the participants discuss anything relating to the topic of the forum, and not earn and compete with each other.

I can not say for sure, but it is probably financially beneficial for the owners of the forum that they conduct bonus campaigns on their forum. If so, then I do not blame. Every work must be paid.



So your suggestion is to create another forum or another site to harbour the bounties, and to recover the old ranking system based only in activity?

I already started with them. kuffy and jackg also got 100 points by default.

Now that you promoted me, I can see a page called "Admin" that says "No content is waiting for approval".

I`m in too, JC. I can see my 100$ (whatever that means) but not the admin stuff yet.
Anyway, maybe you should make a thread on B&H in order to make "public" this new project and see what happens. I think we are going to have a lot of fun...

I was looking for something else in the softaculous installer list, and I noticed this. If people think it could be useful, then I'll configureitfor use. At the moment, I've done nothing to it, it's straight out of the box at the moment.


I love the idea  Grin
But how are you going to make it visible? Meaning? how are the people going to know about this new project?
6291  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 50 people, mostly children killed in missile strike by Saudi coalition on: August 11, 2018, 04:17:20 PM


Unfortunately, America has turned war into a profitable business...

If you think Syria has been going on a long time, what about Afghanistan?
The US has been fighting in Afghanistan for 17 years... 3 more and we get a gold watch, right?

The US invaded Afghanistan because of the attacks on 9/11, to get Osama Bin Laden... who died years ago in another country... why are we still in Afghanistan? (hint: its all about the money)

Sorry if this isn't about Yemen, which is also tragic and very overlooked by the corporate media... the media has abandoned their job

Totally agree. They attack and kill people around the globe and, meantime, they clunch their pearls when someone attacks them. It is the hypocrisy of its higher level.
The US imperialism is, curiously, destroying the places where the oil is massive (as you say, its all about the money). Besides, they live under the idea they need to thank their soldiers with senseless phrases like "Thanks for your service". Seriously? Thanks for being brainwashed and for going to a foreign country to invade and kill their people? For creating a mess by the pathetic explanation of "helping the people? For providing weapons to terrorism in this area with the only goal of creating panic?

 
6292  Other / Meta / Re: Newbie, selling sr.and full member account on: August 10, 2018, 02:07:35 PM


I would like to know if it does not violate the rules of this forum?
Is this not a fraud?
If it's true that he having those sr and full member account, why he said that he was a newbie?



Selling accounts is really discouraged in the forum. But if the people are so stupid to give their money to an untrusted newbie... well, this is called Karma. Probably the sold account will end with red trust and the money wasted. Probably this one doesn`t even have an account to sell. Whatever it is, to be involved in an account transaction like this one means to be kind of stupid.
6293  Other / Meta / Re: The Serious Discussion Board is not "serious" anymore on: August 10, 2018, 01:39:37 PM
To be honest I understand why to post on Serious discussion rather to in another shitty board, because mostly the "general" ones are polluted quickly with all kind of crappy post and such.
The issue here is that the serious discussion in beginning to be polluted, maybe because almost all the threads in there are receiving merits, deserved ones, but it seems like merited boards are like the light to the flies (look what`s happening with meta too, and all the crappy guides).

So maybe, in order to keep the spammers far from this one, which is already quite polluted, maybe merits shouldn`t be shown in there. I don`t know, like a kind of "hidden merit", you can see them in the people`s profile but not in the thread.
I think many of the shitposters are just seeking some reward in there, and I`m afraid it can become a useless board soon (look at was speed we have lost other boards).
Besides, I totally agree with the Pharmacist and with the rest too. Maybe the problem is not "too big" yet, but, isn`t better to be a step ahead of an incoming issue in order to keep the board?
As vpashita01 pointed to determinate what kind of posts should be in there or not is truly difficult, I agree too. But shitposters are easy to detect, and they are coming, and more are going to arrive. So Maybe The pharmacist is right or maybe by simply hiding the merit rewards in this and the IT board can help the matter.

I just see the forum being more and more polluted every single day. Of course, I`m tired of that. Reporting the shitpost in the serious discussion is a great tool, but it comes impossible to handle with time (just look at the Bitcoin Discussion or Alts boards).
I don`t know, people, I just think we need to begin to see the problems before they became impossible to fix.
6294  Other / Meta / Re: The Serious Discussion Board is not "serious" anymore on: August 09, 2018, 09:40:05 PM

Yes, I am. After taking a look at posts like this one:

My vote is yes, for those over 18 years of age. I think all drugs should be available over the counter. Instead of creating black markets for drugs, why not have it open market and just propagandize the dangers?

---
Edit1:
Wow. That's a pretty even split in votes. We're at 2/2/2!  Shocked

Edit2: 20 / 14 / 17. Legalization of all drugs is winning. Noice.

I just can`t see the difference. Just take a look at some of the quotes:

Very dangerous drugs should not be legalized.
for me i'd like it to be decriminalize if we are going to legalize drugs it should be regulated and tax
I believe that weed could be legalised, now for all class A i believe it should be sold as well as controlled and kept.



And what`s the difference between that and this one from P&S? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1619045.0
(by the way, the OP´s statement is better in the second one)

6295  Other / Meta / The Serious Discussion Board is not "serious" anymore?? on: August 09, 2018, 09:13:59 PM
I`ve just come from the serious discussion board and see topics like this one:

We have noticed that Bitcoin is showing too volatile performance from the last months since it last big Hit last December. Holder are still expectant on what bitcoin has still instore for them. Is Bitcoin Big comeback still has its possibility before the year end? will its track go the same way it goes last year?



Shouldn`t those ones be in the Bitcoin Discussion Board? Well, I totally get that the Bitcoin Discussion board is polluted with all kinds of spammers, but if we don`t contribute with good posting activity and move our threads to Serious Discussion, how are we going to overcome all the spammers-invasion-situation?

I`ve seen also posts like this one:
My vote is yes, for those over 18 years of age. I think all drugs should be available over the counter. Instead of creating black markets for drugs, why not have it open market and just propagandize the dangers?

If it's from the eye, a desire for picture begins when I can make a will on it, something that I saw or the moment I get the idea of what I saw remains as I want.

If it's from the nose, a desire for smell begins when I can make a will on it, something that I smelled or the moment I get the idea of what I smelled to remains as I want.

If it's from the tongue, a desire for taste begins when I can make a will on it, something that I tasted or the moment I get the idea of what I tasted remains as I want.

If it's from the body, a desire for touch begins when I can make a will on it, something that I touched or the moment I get the idea of what I touched remains as I want.

If it's from the mind, a desire for imagination begins when I can make a will on it, something that I imagined or the moment I get the idea of what I imagined remains as I want.

I just want to know what other members thinking about the "will", how it's born and do we need to attach to the "Will"?

Isn`t it belongs to Politics & Society? or... even better, to "Off-topic"?

Now, I`m not talking about the posters. I do understand why such kind of threads are written in Serious Discussion, due to the pollution, again.
But I don`t know then what`s the difference between the two mentioned boards and the Serious Discussion one. All the threads I`ve posted are about generic themes or very generic discussions, I can`t see any "serious" on them. But, of course, that`s just my own perception.

I do have some questions:
- What is the Serious Discussion board meant for?
- Are we losing it?
- What do you think about that, meaning, how to determine what is actually a "serious" discussion and what is not?
- Is that meant to avoid spammers? If it is, then it should probably has a restriction like the Ivory Tower.

...I`m just honestly curious...

Me parece una idea genial. Como bien dices, hay gente muy valiosa en ambos idiomas que podían aportar mucho más si pudiesen expresar y ser entendidas sus propuestas. Participo

ACTUALIZACIÓN. Bueno, en Fitto talk ahora andamos tratando de saber cómo les va la vida allá en lugares como Venezuela, Nicaragua,así como otros temas de discusión política.

can anyone help me that why my activity  is getting less day by day? it is start happening from two days ago.

post that is useful, maybe your post is less liked by people. or maybe they are all busy with their respective activities. try to make a good post, so that they are all interested and become crowded again.

Precisely, do the opposite to this user: he hasn`t even read the thread and yet he`s answering with an off-topic nonsense and useless reply. That`s a great example of something you need to avoid.
6298  Other / Meta / Re: Hidden boards as a reward for high merited users and reporters on: August 09, 2018, 06:37:45 PM
When I first became a merit source, I felt that I needed some guidance from senior members. I know I can be a bit dogmatic at times. I created a chat room using free blab software, and I am grateful to those members who helped me in that room. The room is still active, but there are only 3 or 4 of us who chat regularly there - all legendaries btw. I would welcome any other merit sources or DTs to join the chat.

I've got as closed mod board on fit to talk, but that is only for that site. What may be more interesting are the closed boards for members to sanitise posts before submitting them to Bitcoin Talk. We are aware that some governments monitor forum sites looking for political dissenters, and we would like to help members to avoid this unwanted attention.

The beginners board is now completely useless, and I am considering creating an index of decent threads to scan for meritable posts. I no longer have the time to hunt through 4 or 5 pages of off-topic threads looking for the odd gem.

I am installing Teamspeak on a VPS, and I hope that this can be used to discuss posts with foreign language students as they make the posts. Comments about this would be welcome.

I totally agree. Ones of the most interested members on the forum`s health are already creating some awesome projects to help others to understand how to become a good asset in here.  The Fit To Talk project is seeking to increment their users in order to make good quality posts in here, as well as the chat room, in where I participate and every day we discuss the forum and how to improve some people behave in here.
A hidden board only will be an allicient for those really concerned about the forum, something hard to see in these days, the Ivory Tower is a great example of how few are participating and I also have come to believe that even the discussions in there are not as succulent as they should.

So maybe this is a futile effort.
From my perspective, hidden boards can be interesting only if they have some kind of amazing content or a worthy discussion. If they are dead, as the donators one, well, the people is not going to feel attracted by them...
6299  Economy / Reputation / Re: Help Sold account and got scammed on: August 09, 2018, 05:50:41 PM
I sold my account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=471336  and the guy who bought it refuses to pay me, he owes me $250 in btc.  

Can someone please help me get my account back or something. or please kick this guy off my account.

Edit: I didn't know account selling was frowned upon, why are people taking accounts as collateral in the lending section?

I'm leaving the btc world because of the crashing prices and constant stress it's causing me.

I call it "Instant Karma". You don`t care about the forum, but about getting your money. Well, maybe you should think about before selling your account in here, and give up your name for a couple of hundred bucks.

Anyway, both deserve being red-tagged: the OP for being an idiot and coming here to complain about being scammed while doing something that is already discouraged; the second for an account buyer, whose only goal is to earn here by spamming the forum.
I just can`t understand how people can be so stupid to come here and ask for help after doing such a kind of activity.

Applause for both.

Besides, probably the Forum is a better place without you being around:
You can’t even spell “business” properly.

Stupid nigger.

<...>

First rule: always listen to @DdmrDdmr
Second rule: your activity does not increment itself the same as your post count. I mean: you have your posting count, and your activity will increase 1 per day, so, NO, you don`t need to write and write a lot of useless post in order to augment your activity, for it will grow every 14 days, more or less a post per day.
So, if you just write a post per day is enough. Now, knowing that, why don`t you just invest all that energy you are taking from you in posting nonsense quotes in megathreads in a good one single post per day?? It will be much better to your posting history and also will give you the chance to, eventually, rank-up in here, make a good name and become a person of relevance to the forum.

All that energy wasted...
