I don't think Feedbacks are moderated.
Your concept made Vod feeling that you are not a guy whom people can trust. Therefore, he has the rights to paint you. Also, I don't think there is a problem in continuing your account with the red tag as long as you are not thinking about the signature campaign, although it's off-topic.

Well, theymos should introduce another paid membership "Bounty Hunter Membership" 

When people write "Than" while he meant "Then"

I just got this one- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4457400.0
Merit for sex 
So, we can get both cash and goods for Merits= A currency, lol.

What are you talking about? For getting 1 merit, you are advising people while you even don't know the name of the campaign? I think there is no campaign named subscription. You meant signature campaign, if I'm not wrong.

You have copied the whole idea from here- http://adprofuturenet.com/references-6-principles-of-ico-investment-you-should-know-in-the-bubble-era/
It's really weird that people plagiarise for having a single merit. Lol. Some people are also encouraging here. I think people should check first before throwing a comment.

I think I should lock the thread now, lol. Otherwise, some people will flood here like you, JK 

Agreed with your other reason. But the 2nd one, which I have quoted, isn't a good solution, IMO. I have received 1 merit. Someone posted an article in Beginners and Help, I had read the exact one from a website. Then I shared the link by replying to his article and also mentioned that he had copied the article. SOmeone gave me a merit. Later, the thread was deleted for plagiarism.
I don't know whether my reply would deserve a merit or not. But what if someone gave merit in a post which really deserve merit and the thread got deleted somehow. Willn't it take down the real reward? I think it will not motivate people.

I think copper membership isn't made for those persons. It's a shame for us that we are allowing people to wear the membership.

We got 3 more types of membership, lol
1. Cupper Member
2. Cooper-member
3. Cooper Member (I think you missed the spelling by user @Jrashid)


BTW, thank you @hilariousandco for gifting me such an amazing thread.

I am sorry for posting it here, IDK, where to post it even. I am curious to know why hilariousandco has written Cupper Member in his profile while it is Copper Member. I think he is not a copper member. It is a custom title though. Is there any reason for his misspelling?

Merit system is not introduced for spending on shitposts. That's what the user did (IMO) and I strongly believe that he has abused the system.

chek2fire is abusing merit system. I am here to prove it.

Check his merit history- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=202602

As he shared merits to the local board, I will share the google translation here. I know google translation will not give the exact meaning, but we can assume how much worthy to merit.

Can you please update the post stating that newbies can't add signature anymore? Most of the demoted people will look for your threads. If you mention it, I think they will be able to understand the new rules.

So, you heard  Couldn't find it anywhere to read?

You can post as many time as you wish until you maintain the rules of the forum. That's how all the forum work, FYI. But, in bitcointalk, posts are not counted for your ranking. You need to have activity.
you can have 14 activities per 2 weeks of period. So, no matter how much you post daily, you can only get 14 activities per 14 days.

Put 0% effort for merit.
Put 100% effort for quality.

Hello,
Newbie here 
I just have downloaded bitcoin core 0.16.3
After 15 minutes, it says 0.07% have been synchronized only. How can I synchronize it faster? Is there any file in which blocks are pre-downloaded? I would really appreciate.
Thank in advance.

Some mates have already mentioned almost all the possible ways.
In addition, you can join some social media group where may you find some interested people. Although, it may seem risky to you. You can simply have face 2 face deal what I usually do in my country. I hope you also can. Of course, localbitcoin is the best place.

I was not active too much although I have joined here somedays ago. Today I desired to read some forum rules and regulations. But I felt like I visited in the wrong time. Only the repetitive threads are rolling out here in beginners board. All the threads are about merit. I didn't know too much about merit too. I started digging and realized how important it is for ranking up. It's not easy to achieve while for some people it's easy, lol. I don't know how easy or hard to earn merit is.
But will creating repetitive thread get someone merit? I doubt. Forum is meant for discussion. Why don't we engage with the existing one? It's really annoying to face such repetitive threads. Almost all of the threads regarding this issue are same.

I just have completed reading and checking some useful link from- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4928968.0 created by LoyceV
I believe you will find this thread as the best one, like as all in one.
