But I don't agree that sorting the threads by their bump score is the default sorting.
Assume that a newbie want to ask a question on "Meta" or "Bitcoin Technical Support"
For non-targeted boards of bump scores, the sorting based on bump score is not a default one. Meta and Bitcoin Technical supports are non-targeted boards.
Non-default sorting

On the non-targeted boards, you can see the sorting under this scheme by using a link like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=1.0;sort=bump;desc . I'm not sure if this is at all useful. (It's also possible to super-bump topics on these boards, though there's no real incentive to do so.)

Is this fake Electrumsupport guy now banned or what?
I don't see any posts from him aynmore.
OP Thank you for reporting him on time...I hope nobody on forum was a victim of his
That acount was nuked, all posts deleted but you can check with archive.
According to modlog, the account was nuked yesterday.

Now, let's look at the archived posts of that scammer to learn something and to be safe later.

Thanks. It means you read my OP carefully.
I corrected that typo.  Cheesy
6424  Other / Meta / Whitelisting, spam score and community vote to eliminate spam with signature on: November 03, 2019, 10:38:29 AM
In my opinion, the bump score is very great tool to reduce spam but by now there are only four boards that have bump scores in effects:
Quote
- Service Announcements
 - Announcements (Altcoins)
 - Tokens (Altcoins)
 - Bounties (Altcoins)
There are lots of discussion boards (bitcoin, altcoin, gambling) that have thousands of spam posts and many spam mega threads.
If bump score extends to those boards and spam mega threads, it will be another great step to fight spam.

Bump score, by itself, can not solve spam because it depends on companies and managers in the way they count eligible posts from their participants. Some include posts in those boards, some exclude posts in those boards.

I think of spam fighting and some potential solutions:
  • Whitelisting with manager-jails
  • Spam score
  • Community vote

1. Whitelisting with manager-jails
Whitelisting aims at managers.

Some criteria for manager whitelisting:
  • Potential indicators of bought accounts: woke up and email changed recently
  • Post history with focus on post quality
  • Past campaigns
If one account woke up and changed email address recently, it highly means that account changed hands and woke up mostly to run their campaigns. This, is undeniable indicator of very potential spam campaign from potential scam project, too.

If one user has very poor quality in post history, it is ridiculous to believe that user will manage campaigns smoothly from spam.

If one user has very bad history with past campaigns, we have a foundation to think of potential new spam campaigns. It is not completely true because people can change and improve, I know.

Newbie jails likely will not come back but I think manager jails are good for the forum.

There are two results of Whitelisting:
  • Failure: it means that manager is unable to run a campaign at a specific point of time.
  • Success: it means that manager is able to run a campaign at a specific point of time.
For type #1: there is nothing to discuss. If that manager want to manage a later campaign, s(he) should improve their contributions in the forum before trying another opportunity.

For type #2: how long that manager will be allowed to manage that campaign (if company does want to stop it) will depend on two following factors.

2. Spam score
Spam score will be calculated by some factors:
  • Percentage one-line posts with each signature.
  • Percentage of posts deleted by moderators.

I know post length does not determine post quality in some cases but in my opinion only knowledgeable users can make good posts with one line. Most of one line posts are spam. From that point, if a company runs a signature campaign with dominant percentage of one line posts per total posts from their participants, it is very good indicator of a spam signature campaign.

To support one line post factor, the second one, the percentage of posts deleted by moderators is needed.
If a one line post is a good one, it will not be deleted by moderators. For deleted posts, they serves same role as the first factor.

3. Community vote
Each user has vote right and vote power but voting is optional not mandatory.

Vote power depends on their ranks, their total earned merits and their total earned merits in the last 120 days.


The second and third ones will be updated weekly. If one manager gets negative results for the second and third indicators, it is reasonable for admin to consider mandatorily stop their campaigns (there are more criteria of admin for his decision, I know), like what the forum did with Yobit campaign many months ago.

How do you think, spam busters?

Congratulations!

According to my dataset, which presents for the last 20 weeks, you usually earn 8 merits weekly (in median - p50), and 50% of those 20 weeks, you earned from 2 to 12.5 merits, weekly (the interquartile range - p25 to p75)

You are belong to the top 51-75 most merited users in the forum.

Today, I learned one more thing, nuked accounts can not be linked via url links.  Smiley
I have never seen that before.
LoyceV check this!
Really?
You can check it now by clicking on the link to that account in OP.  Wink
I am sorry, I checked and it seems I forgot to add url link in OP. It works now.  Undecided
6427  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to earn merit as a Newbie? on: November 03, 2019, 07:40:30 AM
Why not read those stories, then learn from them?
Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users
To earn merits, people have to do same things no matter which rank they temporarily stay at (Newbie or whatsoever):
- Control their fingers and only type their posts if they have good ideas to discuss; avoid unnecessary posts I meant.
- Search for many available answers before posting and asking.
- Spend time to read, learn and increase their knowledge and experience in the forum and in crypto; just to be more knowledgeable that will do help increasing their post quality.
- Save good posts or threads for later reference, just save them as good sources for their own libraries.
- Being kindful and helpful in the forum (with good quality posts, of course).

You should know that I started in the forum as same as you, zero merit and from the newbie rank with merit system. You can do it!


I wrote some words in the past, too.
(1) Never begging for merits
Reasons:
- Doing this will highly result in Red Trust, it is just the matter of time. Sooner or later, if you keep begging for merits, you will get Red Trust, certainly.
- Doing this don't help you to improve yourself. In long-term journey in the forum, it's not good for you, generally.

(2) Spending most of your time to read and learn
Only start composing your posts when you have something extremely constructive to discussions, topics.
Reasons:
- You are noobs, newbies (lack of knowledge, and experience), so what you think are constructive most likely unconstructive in reality.
- When you actually have reasons to start composing your posts, after finishing it, please re-read again and again to check that your posts are good in grammar, vocabularies, and good enough to express most of your ideas. I wrote most of your ideas because sometimes it is difficult for non-native English speakers to write down and completely express ideas by words. It's a challenge for non-native English speakers, who don't have English as their mother tongue.

< ... >

(4) Never mind of bounties, campaigns when you are noobs
Reasons:
- Campaigns are there, open then close, then others open and close, from time to time. You should never worry that you miss this chance, that chance, this campaign, that campaign, something like this.
It is the same as merits. Lots of users complain that merits are rare, I can not get merits due to it is rare. Nope, merits (more exactly, sMerits - sendable merits) are available, everywhere in the forum. There are so many merit sources, normal users, who have lots of sMerits readily to send out. They kept them partially due to quality posts are rare, not sMerits.
- Instead of paying too much attention, and time on hunting for bounties, especially bounties that have easy rules and joinable for low rank users; you should start learning, reading, and build up your accounts.
When you hit your finish lines, it's time for you to seriously think of joining bounties.

(5) Learn from inspirational stories. Learn from merited users, topics, posts
Reading and learning from most merited users, and most merited topics, posts are one of the best way to improve your post quality, coherence and cohesion when you compose your posts, topics.
I have a topic on: Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users

(6) Spend your time to improve your English, especially Reading and Writing skills
Reasons:
- If you can not read posts or topic in English well, can not get ideas of posts' / topics' authors, it means that you have nothing to do in the forum.
Remember that you have to get their ideas well enough to not misunderstand their core ideas.
- Next, after reading good enough to catch authors' ideas, it is time for you to express your own ideas in case you have something to ask for help, something to discuss, or something meaningful to help others. This is the time you need to have good enough Writing skill.
This is why I mentioned you should improve your English skills, step by step, from Reading to Writing. Of course, you can improve both skills simultaneously.
The forum is the place almost solely for discussions via Reading and Writing.
You can find available sources for English learning in the References at the end of this OP.


(7) Don't pay your attention on post-length  (Ideas that I took from theymos' Writing a welcome message)
If you make ten thousand posts in a week, your activity will be capped and you will still be a Newbie. If you make ten thousand useless posts over any period of time, you will gain zero merit and you will still be a Newbie. You can rank up only by making good posts consistently. It's quality over quantity.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.
6428  Other / Meta / Re: Point of view needed on discussion mega threads on: November 03, 2019, 07:20:30 AM
No one will complain if posts in those Mega threads are not counted for both post count and activity. It can be done by the forum (that I doubt the forum will not change its algorithm) or by managers of campaigns.

In some threads, disable post counts for paid-campaigns in Mega threads will reduce total posts inside but in some special threads, like Wall Observer, there are still lots of posts made. People made posts in Wall Observer are truly WO's citizens and they love their 'WO house'. I know some of them made their posts in WO more than in other threads.

There is an interesting thing about spam mega threads is OPs usually abandon their threads.

I would like to know the point of view of posting in such threads.
Don't post when you don't have valuable ideas to contribute and discuss as the core purpose of the forum, presented there:
This forum exists to provide a platform for the free (but ordered) exchange of ideas. If you have an idea to express, then it is probably possible to do it here as long as you follow the rules.

Notes on variables:
- rep: total replies
- repchange: change of total replies between two months
- prep2: percent of change in rep (replies) between two continuous months.

- views: total views
- viewchange: change of total views between two months
- pview2: percent of change in total views (views) between two continuous months.

- pages: total pages
- pagechange: change of total pages between two months
- ppages2: percent of change in total pages (pages) between two continuous months.

- btc: BTC price
- pbtc: percent of change in BTC price (btc) between two continuous months.
Since this update, I use new variables, pview2, prep2, ppages2, because variables for percentage of changes between two months in OP look stupid, so I decided to change.
Now, let I explain the formula for variable prep2:
To make it simple, I have a simple dataset like:
Code:
month rep repchange prep2
1 10 na na
2 50 40 na
3 80 30 x
How to calculate x?
x = (80-50)/(50-10)*100
It means I calculate percentage of changes in two period: period 1 (from month 1 to month 2), period 2 (from month 2 to month 3)


Results:
Period of observations (24 months, Oct. 2017 - 31th Oct. 2019)

Notes on variables:
- rep: total replies
- repchange: change of total replies between two months
- prep2: percent of change in rep (replies) between two continuous months.

- views: total views
- viewchange: change of total views between two months
- pview2: percent of change in total views (views) between two continuous months.

- pages: total pages
- pagechange: change of total pages between two months
- ppages2: percent of change in total pages (pages) between two continuous months.

- btc: BTC price
- pbtc: percent of change in BTC price (btc) between two continuous months.
Since this update, I use new variables, pview2, prep2, ppages2, because variables for percentage of changes between two months in OP look stupid, so I decided to change.
Now, let I explain the formula for variable prep2:
To make it simple, I have a simple dataset like:
Code:
month rep repchange prep2
1 10 na na
2 50 40 na
3 80 30 x
How to calculate x?
x = (80-50)/(50-10)*100
It means I calculate percentage of changes in two period: period 1 (from month 1 to month 2), period 2 (from month 2 to month 3)


Results:
Period of observations (24 months, Oct. 2017 - 31th Oct. 2019)

In medians, figures for monthly new replies, views, and pages are 6099 (repchange), 52920 (viewchange) and 268 (pagechange), respectively

6431  Other / Beginners & Help / Faked-account of Electrum. Look to learn & to be more careful on: November 03, 2019, 03:19:08 AM
The account - - ElectrumWallet Support - created yesterday and claimed to be an official account used to support Electrum wallet's community.
If you are curious, you have to see the post history via the archive link below. Today, I learned one more thing, nuked accounts can not be linked via url links.  Smiley

According to modlog, the account was nuked yesterday.

Both moderator, DT members (two as I saw in the trust page), and maybe normal users acted fastly to report that account to forum moderators. Their decent fastly efforts help lots of users in the community be safe from that scammer.

Unfortunately, such scammers will pop up every single day. If you use the search function of the forum, with the keyword: Electrum, you will get 2-paged results, that is significant in my opinion. I don't say all or most of those accounts with Electrum in usernames are scammers and I have not yet checked.

The important reminder I want to say to you is: Be careful with any accounts that includes the word Electrum in their usernames and other key words if you have intention to ask for support from other coins or services.
Especially if whenever you ask for help, opinion from community, one newbie account with 'potential' trapped key words in their usernames appear and claim that they come from core team members, want to give their hands and quick supports, Stay Away from them!

You can spend your more time to check official websites to verify those accounts (see the below quote) but in my opinion you don't have to do this. Most of such cases are scammers.
For questions if you need, please search for available answers in those channels: https://electrum.org/#community
From the official website of Electrum, you can easily see there is no contact emails, they only guide that if users have questions, ask for help from (Community > Support) :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=98.0
https://www.reddit.com/r/Electrum/
From that, be very careful with the above account that claims to be Electrum Support (a newbie account). The age of that account is serious thing because how long Electrum wallet has been here? Years, but their support account just created recently (about 2 hours ago) and has still been a Newbie.  Smiley

Now, let's look at the archived posts of that scammer to learn something and to be safe later.
https://archive.is/OKnsX (by @o_e_l_e_o)

Please report those scammers, their posts to forum moderators.

How to report?
I want to recommend you to make a short report content (in fact it has to be short due to character limits) in order to help moderators who received your reports fastly catch what you report. So please read my guides too:
Those guides are not for reports, but you can retrieve some points for your report contents from general posting techniques.

Speculation is kind of a spammy section but not nearly as bad as some of the others, and I like reading some of the threads there just to get the feel of the market.  You can tell when things are bearish or bullish by the feel of the threads and posts therein.
Thank you so much for giving valuable personal experience with Speculation board, that I has never visited. You opened my mind a little bit with that post, and I will spend some of my time to read around that board.

It is good to have a board from which I can get general emotional and psychological aspect of most investors. It is very helpful for my decisions.

What you on about 'only'? Dude you get paid to be stupid? To pretend to not understand? Stop scamming everyone of their time at least all you signature fuckers.
He's clearly capable of speaking English and it's also great that his merits would go to non-English speakers if he was anointed. None of which conflicts with what I asked.
Why so arrogant, fella? Maybe the word I used (only) is incorrect, but it does not cause serious issues.
You are right that the OP is good in English, but he emphasized that most of Turkish do not know English. I agree that it is good (but not necessary) if he can point out under-merited posts (in English) but as the OP aims to be a merit source in his/ her local board (Turkish), I doubt that locals will use English to discuss their opinions, especially in non-proficient English board, like Turkish as OP wrote (I don't know Turkish too).

I don't know any Turkish so I can't support or oppose your application yet.
Is there any chance you could find 10 under-merited recent English-language posts that would help your application along?
I think it is one of reason and OP applied to be a merit source in Turkish local board only.
Another reason that I apply to become a merit source is that there are not a lot of people who know English in Turkey. As a result, even if they deserve, they can't get merit from other sources.

Now, let's take a look at the variations of intra-day medians over weeks.
Method:
I took medians of intraday merits over weeks (since 2018w46, from id 293 - 299, here). The median of intraday merits at the end of 2018w46 will be calculated from intraday merits started from days with id #26 - # 299; days before id #26 truncated due to extremely outliers.
For later weeks, just moving forwards with each 7-day-time-frame to calculate next medians of intradays over weeks.

Results:
Since 2018w48 to 2019w43, the dataset has:
- 67 weeks in total.
- Median of median of intraday merits over weeks is 628.
- Interquartile range of median of median of intraday merits over weeks ranges from 624 to 639.

ABSTRACT


Intra-day merits:
Notes:
- The part of the asbstract describes figures of intraday merits over the period from 19/2/2018 to 28/10/2019 (truncated dataset);
- Days from 24/1/2018 to 18/2/2018 truncated due to highly potential outliers; and days after 28/10/2019 truncated as well due to incomplete week (the 2019w44);
- Statistics presented in the post are for truncated dataset

(1) Potential outliers are days that have intraday total merits beyond 210 or 1062;
(2) Median of intraday merits over the period is 627;
(3) 50% of observed days have their intra-day merits range from 529 to 742 (the interquartile range);
(4) Friday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has lowest intraday merits in terms of both median and mean, at 586, and 610, respectively.
(5) Monday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has highest intraday merits in terms of median and mean, at 679, and 728.
(6) There are 36 potential outliers (beyond 207 or 1063) in total, and only seven of them occured in 2019, 04/01/2019 (1083) , 09/1/2019 (1162), 14/01/2019 (1128) , 27/3/2019 (1250), 13/5/2019 (1151), 11/6/2019 (1188), and 21/10/2019 (1082) - the newest outlier.
(7) Minimum and maximum of intraday merits (full dataset) are 295, and 13018, on 03/8/2019 and 24/1/2018, respectively.


Intra-week merits:
Notes:
The part of the abstract use full dataset, only dropped last two days due to incomple week (2019w44).

(1)   The median of intra-week merits is 4506;
(2)   50% of observed weeks (92 weeeks in total), have total merits in the range from 4027 to 4970 (the interquaritle range of intra-week merits).
(3)   Minimum and maximum of intra-week merits are 3072 and 30960, in 2018w35, and 2018w4, respectively;
(4)   Thirteen potential outliers [beyond 2580 or 6396], only one of them occurred in the year 2019, in 2019w2 at 6632.

Basic statistics:
- 50% of observed weeks (92 weeks) have total intra-week merits above 4506, whilst the rest 50% of them have total intra-week merits below 4506. 4506 is the median - p50.
- 50% of observed weeks have total intra-week merits fluctuated in the range from 4027 to 4970 (the interquartile range, from p25 to p75, in raw statistics below).

Medians and means of intra-day merits over days of weeks.
Colors:
  • Green: highest.
  • Red: Lowest.

- In median, the highest days are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 679, 654, and 652, respectively; whislt the lowest days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 586, 591, and 609, respectively.
- In means, the highest days are Monday, Wednesday, and Tuesday, at 728, 696, and 685, respectively; whilst the lowest days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, at 610, 611, and 665, respectively.
- Monday has still been the highest day in terms of median and mean of intra-day merits over weeks, in contrast Friday is the lowest days in terms of median, and mean of intra-day merits over weeks.

Calendar day is in GMT time.
