Hmmm, I believed there are some ways to restore your Negative Trust back to Normal but, I've heard it was difficult that's why we really need to take good care of our accounts while it has no negative trust. It's your big mistake to attempt making a deal with the OP. I suggest you to start creating a new account and try to post constructive posts in order to rank up. I'm sure that you will still catch up to the rank of your tagged account if you create a new one and make sure that you will take care of your account this time, but if you can do good things here in the Forum like giving back a wrong send Bitcoin, your Negative trust will be removed and might even give you Green trust instead. But when will that happen?
It's your mistake to fall under a trap of a Newbie Member.
I hope you learned some lesson.

Yeah, what a brilliant idea Mr. Now I remembered, I knew some Forums in internet where this is one is implemented. There are some discussions where Only established members can post/reply their suggestion and Newbie members is only allowed to read it. There is no reply button/link for Newbies. In short, Newbies are limited where they can post. Yeah, this sounds cool. Maybe this is the solution we were looking for in this entire time, to stop newbies from making spams. What do you think Mr. Jet Cash. Since this is your idea, I'm sure you will support this to be implemented. I will also support this one.
Is our Admin is the only one who can do implementations in the Forum? I think we should tell Mr. Theymos about this or even to our Moderators. Or let me guess, did they already knew all about this?

But, in some ways. This idea still got its disadvantages. But we will find a solution for it too later on.

I've also noticed it. I've joined so many airdrops in the past but, to all airdrops I've joined I only received about 10% out of 100%. It only means that the rest of airdrops didn't give me tokens or maybe a fake. In the left 90%, there is about 30% of airdrops I joined are the airdrops who didn't gave me tokens and the fake are about 50% and the 10% is I'm not so sure.
The bad thing is, I always used my main email to join airdrops in the past, which we should use dummy emails instead in order not to be a victim of frauds and hackers. BUT as long as our passwords are secured and still unknown to these hackers, there are still a possibility that our account might not be compromised. Just giving advice, don't give your personal information, keep being anonymous in Internet because Internet world is really is good in fooling people. Always think before you click.

There are so many threads about Merit System that has been made these days, and we can't just let them post the same topic about merits over and over again because it is already spamming. That's why I also agreed to the OP that a child board for Merit talks should be implemented.
As we can see , a lot of threads about Merit has been made and I'm sure that there are still lot more threads with "Merit" as Topic will still be created in future as Newbies began to aboard. Threads with this topic also began to spread everywhere in the forum. We can see some merit talks in Bitcoin discussions and here in meta section because newbies don't know where to ask or post such a question about Merits.
I highly recommend that a child board or even a single THREAD with all information about merit system should be created. And in this thread (if not a child board) they are permitted to ask anything about Merit System as long as they didn't asked the question already (to avoid asking questions over and over again).

Haaayst. Come on you guys, why do you keep posting about Merit System? We all know that Merit System has disadvantages like when trading it, giving it to you friends and sometimes post with quality are not given Merit because no one noticed it. But let's just accept the fact that Merit will remains the same although we created a lot of topic about Merit repeatedly.

You just said
So it means you fully understand the reason why Merit exist.
But somehow, I agreed in this statement of yours
Yeah, it is true. I'm sure that There are some posts out there that deserves Merit but sadly, no one can notice their posts because no one seems to be interested or something.

That is also what I'm thinking before. But I prioritised Newbie accounts that's why I excluded it. By the way, it is still a good idea to send the message to everyone here in the forum. The only question left is if our Admin and Moderators choose to use the message over the thread for disseminating information through users.

Hmm. I'm really running at my full speed to think of some other ways to improve our Forum.

Yeah, they can only complain saying
because their reason is they didn't know the rules yet. Lets just see if they still complains if all of the rules were already shown after creating a new account. Farmed account or not they have to follow the rules as it was stated. Newbies who violate rules after creating an account with this proposal idea will leave Staffs with no choice but to permanent banned it.

Hmmm if that's the case, accounts that will be made for farming is a limitation of this idea too. 
Hmm. Maybe we can think of some idea on how to prevent it too. But it will be very difficult.

Yes, I agreed. But what Mr. KWH said is one of this idea's disadvantage.

Good day/evening everyone. I'm Silent26. I'm just a simple Member of this Forum and always sticks to the rules. I'm here to tell you something. Hmm let me starts with this.


I've noticed that our Forum starts to suffer from Newbies/Newcomers problems as they always ask a certain question repeatedly. Their common questions are "what is bitcoin?", "how to earn bitcoin?" etc. and the recently most asked by too many new members/Newbies is "What is Merit/Merit System and how to get Merit?".

I decided to create this thread to give some idea to our Admin and to our Moderators to Improve our Forum from these kind of "Newbie Problems".
As we can see, asking questions about Merits is now strictly prohibited as it was already asked dozen of times and a member who ask about it will be given a punishment, and it is "banning their account". It is because our Forum's Staffs Declared that anyone who ask questions about merit system will be banned or reported as a spammer. It is also because these Newbies can't even try to search for the answers they were looking for by their own.
But what if these Newbies really don't know how our System works? What if they really don't know what to do first and they didn't even know that posting about merit is prohibited? Do we need to be mad at them or we should help them to enlighten them? Honestly what do you prefer?



I came up to this Idea. When creating a new account. The existing system works as this

Register>>Enter Email, and Password>>Login.

And after logging in, the user will be directed in the home page of the Forum.

I have suggestion/proposal about improving our Forum, it will not change any of the existing process of the system for registering new account. I just want this idea to be added (I'm just suggesting) . Here is my idea.

Like what I said, when a account is successfully created, the user is only directed to the home/main page of the Forum and it's up to them what to do because there is no any guide.

What if? After a successful registration, the user will be directed to a certain thread that contains all information that a newbie must know.
For example is a thread that contains all of the rules of this forum, some basic information about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and information about Merit Systems. I know this is "spoon feeding" because if they really want to gain knowledge they must conduct research by their own. But, if we implemented this idea and still, they didn't follow the rules. The account will be permanently banned.

If you guys didn't want the idea of directing the user to a thread, a message or a bot message will be fine too. Whenever there is a new account created, a bot will automatically sends PM to the new account containing all of the information that newbie must know (just like what I said above).

In the rules, there must be a huge message with BOLD text style saying "IF YOU VIOLATE ANY OF THESE RULES, YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THIS FORUM" something like that because there is a possibility that the user will be forced to read the entire thread/message to prevent violating any of the rules.

And one more thing (this is optional), I also suggest that, there should be some volunteered members who will guide these newbies. After reading the entire thread or message and clicking button, (lets assume) "I AGREED" button the newbie will be directed to another thread titled "Beginners guide" or something where they can ask questions, but every post made in this thread is not counted as a post. Although a user posted so many questions in this thread, it will not be added as "post" count in their account.


This only requires:
-Collection of information that a Newbies must know.
-The list of our Forum's rules.
-Information about Merit System.
-Some Trusted or Volunteer Members to guide Newbies (optional)
-Time.

Goal
-To somehow eliminate "Newbies problem" .
-To prevent Newbies from creating threads that has been created multiple times.
-To educate Newbies with some basic informations.
-To enlighten Newbies how our system works and what rules to follow.

Scope and Limitations
-This idea is for accounts that will be made in the future.
-Its limitation is, It didn't include accounts that already been created and also farmed accounts.



I've been thinking of this all the time and came up to this idea
I still need your suggestions about this Idea. This is also just my suggestion hehe. What do you think guys?

To staffs, please delete this thread if I violate any rules. But as far as I know I'm not violating any rules. Thanks.

Leave your suggestions guys

Looks like this will be a problem to newbies. There are lot of newbies that still didn't know how the Merit System works and keep asking about it which is already prohibited in the forum. . Hmmm I think we should think some ways on how to prevent this Newbie Problems like this. There must be some way to fix this problem because I'm sure that every new Members will also come up in making threads like this.

To OP,
There are lot of threads here which only needs some of your time to take a look. Just try to visit them if you want answers for your questions.

That's actually what I said above, but it seems like no one reads it. A agreed that maybe that account was already a full member and deleted its shitposts in order to receive more merits because people will avoid that account if its posts are all bounties/shitposts.

I don't believe that it was just a bug. There's a possibility that the account has no merit received in history because it is a Full Member before.

But it seems like you got some point too.
If we can just check this account's deleted posts history. Maybe it will enlighten us. But where can we found it? Only Mr. Theymos can tell us the truth behind this account.

I think that account is already a Full Member with 100 as a default amount of Merit. Like what Mr. iasenko said, its posts was deleted that's why its activity decreased. The account was made back in 2014 and I'm sure that it reached Full Member rank. It seems like the user deleted all shitposts so that the owner can earn Merits by starting over again with good quality posts. So no need to worry about the Merit system because everything works fine

I agreed, OP's posts is more similar to this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1116027 with a topic here in meta section with "only 5 merit to member!!!"  title which mostly contributes in bounties and some posts with one and two liner posts like to the OP.
To OP, yes it is sad that merit existed because it is now more difficult to rank up, but it is worth it. Making constructive posts (with English language) WILL NOT ONLY benefit this forum but also will benefit ourselves. Just try to understand.

And also, please be aware of this

I think the main reason why you can't receive another 5 merits is because your posts are all bounties and some of your posts are one liner posts which is not deserving to receive Merits. Why don't you try to check your posts buddy. If you can make your posts much better then you will have a chance to receive Merit. And what happened to your precious account? It seems like your only Jr. Member but you already have a negative trust. Looks like you didn't take care of it isn't it?


It's so funny seeing two cute cats quarrelling  

First of all, congratulations bro. Looks like you were given what you really deserved. There's no doubt that you're a good poster. I checked your posts and I'm amazed by your posts (very informative posts) and makes me feel so sad and jealous. I don't have working brains like yours to make posts with such a very informative posts. That's why I felt jealous, if you will look in my posts all you can see is trash compared to yours. I'm already a Full Member but I believed that my posts activities are the reason why I ranked up. If merit system has been implemented long time ago. I will never made it to Full Member. I know I can, but it will take a long time before it happens.

But, although my posts are not good as yours. I never spam (did I?). Because whenever I create a post. I always assure that I'm not breaking any rules. Hehe sorry, My emotions brought me here. By the way, all I'm trying to say is Congratulations and I really admired you. Keep up the good work bro. I'm pretty sure that you will reach Senior Member rank and up in time.

Hmmm. Where did you get that news? , can you provide the links where you found it? Because there something fishy in that news of yours, I've never seen this kind of news anywhere. Maybe there are some people behind it and only invented that news so that people will be expected to believe it. Well if ever that its true, I got nothing to say but, Its a good news.
 Yeah, that's what I'm also thinking, this news might be true or a big FALSE. I'm wondering maybe this news is a fictitious one and not real.

As we can see, nowadays there are billions of people using social medias like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others. That's why promotions of Bitcoin was made to promote Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (also tokens) in social medias. Promoting in these social medias has a high possibility that the certain promotion make it to reach its goal. People are the one and only that can support any kind of promotion and people are also the main target why promotions are made. Of course, as we can noticed, advertisements are always can be seen in places where more people are living and it is the same as advertising in a social media with a lot of users. It's one good tactic to promote a project.

Advertising Bitcoin through television is not a good idea. You know why? Because there are some countries that didn't acknowledge Bitcoin and also banned it for purpose (like illegal activities and transactions) and I think it will make some impact to their Government if ever that they saw Bitcoin in their television.

Further questions

Does countries who banned bitcoin can see it in their television?
Ofcourse, Advertising in television are world wide and most of advertisements are in international tv channels which can be seen in any country.

So Bitcoin has no chance to be advertise?
In my opinion, Bitcoin can be advertise. But this will not be a good idea (like what I said). Except if it is advertised to tv channels of chosen countries who adopt bitcoins.


Tokens and other altcoins has a potential to be advertised in televisions worldwide in the as it was made by companies. Bitcoin is a little complicated.

I really don't know how this mixer thing works, and I didn't try to mix because I only have 0.01 Btc in my wallet and I'm really saving it. I know the fee will be refunded but, the main reason I didn't try it is because I really don't know how it works. But as a webpage developer (student). I reviewed the webpage and came up to this idea.

I have suggestion to this part

It seems like it is part of the webpage' s body and doesn't look too good (based in my own likings) . I think you should make a footer for this contents. I can imagine that it will look much better.

The webpage is mobile friendly and I like it. I will add more information if I noticed something again. And OP, I'm not going to ask for reward as I didn't follow the rules. I didn't mix any coin. Have a good day
