I have been in the campaign for too long, and honestly it is a big pleasure for me to work with you and BitVest.
I am not happy when rates decreased weeks ago, and I hope rates will increase again; but it is life, and it should not be blamed as reasons to spam.
Clean up the house and clean up the forum, that what we all should do if we want to see signature and campaigns, bounties here for months to come.
I totally support your approach, manager.
Since 2018, what did you contribute to prevent signature ads removed globally?

Before searching how to make money here, you should read forum rules, and my thread. Doing this as your very first step in order to contribute your very minor contributions to help forum will still have opened chances for good users to get money. If you (and others, too) keep destroy the forum through shitposts, yeah I definitely believe that someday forum might disable all kinds of signature, bounties, campaigns, as it was very long years ago.

I don't know exactly where they come from, but likely due to long-lasting complaints on terrible spamming and garbag posting in those following boards:

• Bitcoin Discussion
• Altcoin Discussion
• Gambling Discussion

People usually visit threads in those boards, and instantly start writing, without few seconds to read last post(s) before they write. They probably only read thread title, and jump directly to make posts.

With supports from recently re-raised questions by those threads:
Limit signature campaigns
Spam sections
There is likely a cleaning-up wave in those boards. Heavens for spammers have been narrowed down dramatically.

Questions:
- Are there people manually report and help to clean up those boards?
- Are there bots recently activated to find spam- / garbage-posts, and help bot owners to report more productively (like what we saw with plagiarism)?


Requests:
- If someone can retrieve data on how many posts /threads deleted in those boards last week, and figure for a few previous weeks, please help
- I have an assumption on the same cleaning-up wave happens in Politics & Society / Trading Discussion / Economics boards, so if you can get same figures for those boards, please help.
List of other requested boards:

• Politics & Society
• Trading Discussion
• Economics
• Speculation

Posters can do it by avoid pyramid quotes or nested quotes. They can say making good on-topic posts is difficult, I don't know what I should say about that but spending a very few seconds to delete unused parts in quotes is not difficult. Posters should do that, at least.

By the way, please read my thread, if you are spammers/ garbage-posters.

CopperMembership ~ real Member rank in campaigns - Is it fair ? (this one, likely reduce positive net-effects of merit system)

I help two guys so far: Baofeng and big_daddy. Can I have a slot in the club of Ranking-up Helpers?

Last week of September will be one of the most important weeks of Solaris this year. It is so much happy to know that Solaris team have done major of their works for the codebase switch from PIVX to Stratis; and the team core approach to unify Solaris platform. Just a bit more polisments and tests before releasing. Sounds litle close to a new era for Solaris, but yeah I know the team will have loads of work to do and make smooth upgrade and release in weeks to come. Thank you for the announcement after very long waiting time.

Admin does not want to change seriously and make the forum unfriendly for good newbies. I don't think he will require more merits for the Junior Member rank.

Remove of airdropped merits will make old Senior Members, Hero Members and Legendary members feel paranoid, like what theymos said on misuse or too serious use of trust system months ago. Good old users can rank up again, even their airdropped merits removed and they will be deranked. They definitely don't have issue to move up again, just need a little bit time. Nevertheless, once again, I don't think airdropped merits will be removed because of probably paraniods.

Merit system (original version), upgraded merit system (aims at Junior Members); your Spambuster club in 2018; and the bot to fight against plagiarism this year; together contribute to clean the forum. This year, thousands of accounts banned with supports from that bot.
I think the upgraded merit system brought a powerful tool to stop spammers creating new accounts, and their spamming severity and intensity decreased considerably too.
Bot (this year) cleaned up more by searching, reporting, and consequently help to ban so many accounts permanently, not only Brandnew, Newbies, but also top-ranks, like Hero and Legendary.

I guess which kind of next upgrade for merit system? KYC, possibly?

The announcement gives me more motivation and more strength as well as belief to keep holding my Solaris coins. And if I earn profits from my tradings (with bitcoin, and other altcoins) I might seriously consider to invest more in cheap Solaris coin. The coming months are very important period for Solaris future; codebase switch, swap, and txbit.io's developments & customer expansions. As discussed and expected before, I have still waited for txbit.io on CMC. Hope that the exchange will be listed on CMC immediately (few weeks after codebase switch and swap finish)

If someone feel stressful with bitcoin dumps, and don't want to sell their bitcoin at the moment. They can take current low fees to move and consolidate their bitcoin.

Signature itself is harmless, it is just as same as username. If users don't abuse it with harzadous links, or abuse it by spamming and get a few cents from their spams.
Basically, everyone has rights to show off their ideas, discussions here; but if they abuse and make mono-conversations, thing will be different.
I hope the thread reminds shitposters that admin gave them second chance, or third chance (second one is merit system, third one is upgraded-merit-system, with Junior Member demotion), more correctly; to keep signature industry running here; gave them chance to earn some money. But if they ignore kindness of admin, who knows they will have fourth chance or not?

It is time to turn off your computer.

If that guy sent 10 merits due to typo (10 instead of 1), and carelessness (not check amount before clicking on Send button); there is no reason to tag that guy.
10 merits are small amount, and do not large enough to call as merit abusements. Tagging someone because sending 10 merits for a non-sense posts will make them paranoid. There are many posts like that, especially from renowned users.

Case should be closed, in my opinion.

I actually closed my position at $10800, so I am happy that I determinantly did that.

Yeah, like I said weeks ago. $8k to come, and when Bitcoin hits that range, we can say "Wow, let's all in invest in Bitcoin". It will be last chance to see bitcoin in that range for next four years.

All clones should not be trusted, whatsoever they clone from, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Monero, etc. If they are clone coins, they are untrusted. Untrusted for their future success, and there are probability that they also try to steal money from disclosing private keys

It is good to use bookmark, but bookmark does not completely help you to be safe from threats. Eg.tampering attacks on bookmark.
Remember site address is the best.

Viruses born to defeat antivirus softwares, so basically you are unsafe even you use whatever antivirus softwares for your computers.
It is especially right if you have careless habits on Internet. You are safe today, you have been safe till now, but it does not guarentee that you will be forever safely.

Therefore, I think manually replace negative feedbacks to neutral ones are good solution for those rare cases.
Remove original feedbacks sounds shady, somehow. A user who had scam accusations / neg tags in the past might potentially do this again; so neutral feedback as slight warning is enough, I think. They don't deserve neg tags if their cases solved, but a pure profile page sounds unfair, somehow.
Negative feedbacks that already solved and confirmed by 'victims' or someone who tagged negatively, or well massively confirmed by community

Not only newbies get scammed by them, but also old users get scammed too. Especially people who joined forum long time ago, but have not yet spent too much time to read and learn about crypto in the forum. The forum has loads of legends whom are readily to help if someone ask for help, technically. But if someone join the forum, just to post shits, and join bounties, over years, they won't be able to get any  kind of knowledge and skills in return. Then, someday they will fall in greedy mood, and get scammed.

I digged and made this thread, which summarises process from which theymos asked for ideas from communites, came to original solutions (merit system & new rank requirements); to more restrictive improvements (old-era Junior Members demotion); and reminders on post-quality and potential conflict of interests between the forum, good users, and spammers.
