Top 20? i'l take it  , those 4 merits were hard to give, i do want to give more merit to newbies but the sad part i released that only a handful of them are worthy of merit, mainly based on where they usually post.

thanks for maintaining the list.

he differently can't let everything 100% under user control, look at the mess and you will understand, manual intervention is always needed. stingers is clearly merting those guys to get himself a clean profile again, if the other "party" has any similar proof of merit abuse against their "opponents" - they should present it, whining does not get anybody anywhere, proofs usually do.

don't get me wrong i agree with your logic, i personally disagree with the the way that many DT members use the trust system to non-trust related subjects, but this does not mean their rattings that are based on trust are not accurate, if we let a new group take over the trust system overnight then tons of scammers will be set free, these changes have to be done in fair manner, changing for better must be slow,steady and logical, if not ,then we will create a worse mess, i rather see current DT members re-think their negs, focus on trust only subjects, this will solve 90% of the current issues.

The word "all" could have been a very poor choice of words , i'd let it pass and ask for "some". tho it won't make much difference .

i know i could be wrong in my "speculation" but i clearly mentioned this is what I would PERSONALLY be doing, if i was sitting on a ton of bitcoins i would be busy spending them rather than having to see you argue with suchmoon for example.

it's my logic, it may only fit in my world and could be the wrongest speculation ever, which i doubt to be honest.

as for the rest of your post, i do for some reason believe that ; you are not an untrustworthy person, and most certainty don't deserve any of the negatives you got, and that your intention of this whole drama is good, but i personally find you annoying, you almost don't let a topic pass without talking about DT and merit, even this one !

if i was you, i would just think that there is a conspiracy and manipulation from the "gang" but sadly the owner of this place seems to be happy about it - then why do you care so much? let it pass.

I am not sure, but i think the forum might be using some sort of a paid plagiarism detector software, these programs are very sophisticated, they know what is to be considered as plagiarism  and what is not, we had access to such tools during university , and non of the famous or common sentences would show up as plagiarism.

this can also be done using free online plagiarism checker and simple logic as well, using your example "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take." ( had to quote it tho, can't take the risk  )





194,000 results at least, this is clearly something that people use everyday and it's not considered plagiarism.

I use bitcoin to buy many sort of things in my country, nothing official tho, no bills no shit, but we have a local groups on FB where people would  sell you whatever you need in exchange for your bitcoin, and they usually pay anywhere from 1% to 8% above market price- depending on the supply and demand, simply because our central bank is not a big fan of crypto and they consider it unsafe.

a funny thing too, i went on a vacation last month , and rented a serviced apartment i found online, i out of no where asked the guy if i could pay in bitcoin "was thinking he doesn't even know what that was" and he said yes yes ! most differently accepted , with a big smile.

might as well call it E-Socialism blockchain.

where i live, we used to have socialism system the country was based on, there is a long detailed explanation regarding it, but long story short, the government can confiscate your money, property or anything you own - for whatever reason they see fit, they can just assume it's too much for you or simply you are not using it ,  this proposal  is not much of a difference.

 ok i had the same shit happened to me before when i thought that moderators will handle my reports on scammers.

The problem is this: the market place is not full of spam, it's more like full of scam.

i reported posts from users who everyone and their grandmother know that they are scammers, even the scammers them self are about to neg tag themselves for how scammy they've been, and guess what? NOTHING was deleted and my report accuracy was terrible.

then i did my research and found the scammers are not directly moderated for scamming, sadly most of them are smart enough not to copy and paste so reporting them for plagiarism is almost impossible.

the best thing to do is to tag them.

This is the mod's responsibility , all what we are somehow morally obligated to do is report these incidents , i understand that your intention is to reduce low quality content, but sadly your tag does not accomplish it, the user will still be able to post whatever they want in the ANN section and now even in Meta because of the tag he got.

you spent the time to read his posts and seems like you were fairly confident that he is a spammer, i think if you reported a few posts of his or if you happened to find plagiarized content and reported those to the mods, he would have been already banned .

having said that, i still stand to my opinion that while this user might deserve to be banned, he does not deserve a negative at all, simply because he is not a scammer but rather a spammer.

the opportunity you posted is about to present itself again . i am almost very certain 150k per btc in 2021 is doable.
and the golden chance to enter the market is around the corner > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105680.msg49569375#msg49569375

this is a high risk reward investment, the guys who bought bitcoin in 2011 didn't encounter much less risk , neither we are limited to less reward now.

 i agree with you for not calling it a bull-phase , it's simply accumulation phase which is in TA refereed to as sideways market.



this phase of the market includes capitulation, anger and depression.

holders and owner of the market start to submit their shares to others with stronger hands, the strong hands keep the buying volume low , they don't make much noise while buying those assets , this usually last for months.

in this phase, volume is usually very low , price does not move much , news don't talk much about that particular asset and the majority of people seem to not care about it anymore.

when all those points are met, price starts moving into a new bull cycle, the first rally is referred to as "disbelief", and then the whole cycle repeats it self again and again.

i made a chart comparing the last cycle of 2014-2015 , it's like a mirror image of what's happening now > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105680.0


the 2011 accumulation phase does not look much different either.

and I do think that we are now are in this phase or simply just so close.

The worst part is that they copy a shitpost, i mean if the purpose is mainly just to post, why not just type some meaningless bullshit anyway? it's even faster to write those everyday's b.s


than having to copy and paste another shitpost , i just don't get it really ! instead of being just lazy , some people are being lazy and stupid.

The trust system is not meant for forum law enforcement, such cases should be handled by "report to moderators".


exactly ^


apparently he might not be accepted in those b.s bounties with a neg feedback from a DT member.

 why can't you just report to this to mods for plagiarism? also there is a dedicated thread for this > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.0

I appreciate the effort, but really this is getting annoying, starting a new thread for every plagiarism or spamming accusation is a terrible idea.

JFY knows theymos address ? that's something he might verify with theymos maybe.

hmm possible, but unlikely , he said he lost his wallets, never mentioned selling !  also whatever i said above represents what i would personally be doing/feeling , if i bought tons of btc for 20$ , donated 50 of them to the forum which alone at some point were worth a million dollars and lost the rest in my hdd !

there would be a million things i would do , coming back to the forum to discuss who is on DT and why is differently non of them.

* just expressing my thoughts based on logic and emotions as everybody else, since non of us here has any solid proof to support any side of the argument yet 

just use the ignore function


should be judged diffenrtly depending on the user, most of the time, yes, as it's very possible  " a scam attempt"


this has nothing to do with trust, could be honest kid trying to make some extra money


scam/trade related? yes
other b.s ? no



no ,  distrust the user, make sure he is not on DT.



a big YES , 99% of feedbacks should be based on loss of funds/ scam / trade related subjects , 1% is for other "similar stuff"   0% of personal issues/feelings b.s

 beside all the other opinions it only makes sense that someone who ever donated 50BTC and as any early adopter, should not give a fudge about any DT bullshit on this forum, but this is the opposite of what JFY is doing, before even looking at this topic, i saw him discuss the new DT changes with a DT member,
and i thought to myself " what the fuck is he wasting his time on ? why ain't he cruising in his lambo or 1m$ yacht ?"

but anyhow, the current owner regardless of  (his true identity) is constructive and nice to say the least.

I think i am done with this case, said what i had to say, the rest is on you and the guys who tagged you, and a word of advice, use more spacing, leave an empty line between each of your lines as needed and most importantly type less, mean more.

The format you use is very disturbing to be honest, if you want your words to be read, make them readable so that you can defend yourself.

you repeatedly encouraged him to pay the bribe, which makes everybody and their grandmother thinks that you have a direct interest in that bribe being paid.
you also never bothered mentioning the use of escrow to him , i agree with suchmoon, no matter how i read your conversation, the logic leads to my above analysis.

---

however I honestly don't think that is a solid evidence of you being a part of the scammers team or the scammer himself, i am not sure how other members based their feedback on,i don't think solid evidence is needed to many members and that's accepted, being shady is enough to get tagged for these days , given the amount of scammers online.

as for the evidence, i think we still have to hear from the casino, if it's proven that they were actually the once who send him the email , and asked him for the bribe and that your advice of paying 2 btc was based on a free advice that you had no interest in, then maybe  the DT members should give you the benefit the of doubt and reconsider their rating.

 should the other guys keep their feedback and happens that you are really a honest person, this should be a lesson learned, never ask someone to pay bribe nor answer to extortion attempts.
