I won't tag a user for merit begging I would only advice them (have done that severally) if you're even thinking of begging for merit do it right, (the legal way ) we have giveaways where you go post link of post you feel were quality and meriters who view your post and finds it merit worthy will send you those merit. Instead of compromising your account just because of begging for merits use Giveaways thread (at least those thread encourages you to post with quality). PS: I'm not encouraging begging of merits in any way, just advising those users begging should stop make use of GIVEAWAY THREADs instead. It'll help them improve their posting style since most TS {Thread starters} give reviews on link of post submitted.

The infographic is fine, it's not bad and using BbCodes is also fine. I know a friend that got red tagged or negative trusted by a forum member ( I won't mention any names/usernames to keep it secret ). He/She red tagged my friend just because of a misunderstanding that two of them arguing to such small matter/problem.
Glad to hear that from you. About the situation you described above it's normal we're all humans and sometimes our emotions brings out the worst in us, am also glad they settled the issue within themselves and makes it a perfect example on how to handle false negative tags (which is, only the two parties can resolved it). The trust system is evolving, we aren't there yet but it's manageable.

Seems like this discussion resurrected the owner of the escrow service by username monbux the impersonator was trying to copy. He Is back online after several months of been offline. the last time he made a post before today was August 10, 2018 can someone head over to the thread and verify the signature message he posted few hours ago. I'm not saying it isn't him but just trying to take precautions to prevent a case of account hacking since user positive feedback is very high.

It's worth mentioning somewhere in your guide that by setting a custom trust list you are not just voting for DT1 members, but you are also choosing whose ratings you trust, and therefore altering which ratings you see under "Trusted Feedback" and every user's trust score.
I have a question I wanted to ask so instead of starting a thread permit me to ask it here. It concerns who to add on your custom list. Are they those you have traded with or those you think their judgement (feedbacks) is contributing positively to the forum or Both since each users on your custom list gets a vote from you if you meet the required criteria. Let me make my question clear for example I have Coolcryptovator, ICOethics and others on my custom list but haven't traded with any of the users but I trusted them to see their feedbacks due to their pass record of scam busting. Also since I haven't made any trade on forum but the only thing I have done which is kind of close to trade is participating in paid signature campaign and got paid by Hhampuz and he's also on my custom trust list due to I trust his feedbacks. Now the questions is, looking at the two situations I described above which is more fit to be on my custom trust list? Is it those you have done trade with and their feedback are trusted by you or those you haven't traded with but from general view their feedback are accurate.

i haven't experience any worst moment, i won't say i haven't lost but i don't consider it as a worst moment. I see gambling as a way to catch fun i don't take it as full time job and i have different precautions i take to prevent me form getting addicted. So so far i haven't experience any harsh disappointing moment to be considered as my worst but I'm prepared knowing it'll come at some point.

What is the usefulness of merit?
The obvious answer will be that merits in combination with activity helps you rank up. For example your account is having the rank of a newbie if you earn just 1merit your account will have the potential to rank up to jnr member when you reach the required activity. But merit does more than that, for instance it give you the satisfaction that you're contributing positively to the forum, shows your effort in posting quality post is been appreciated by the meriter etc.
Coolcryptovator, congratulations on your achievement, your good works is the reason you're on my custom trust list even without having to trade with you. Continue in your good deed hope you get to legendary rank before the year ends. I'll be occupying your Snr member spot onces you rank up hopefully before the end of march

I beg to differ, at least from the perspective of my local board. That's cool, at least we all know the campaign you're participating in only accepted quality posters and most times reputed members also about the campaign manager accepting posts from local board I'm sure he based his judgement on, If the participates are reputed, active quality posters from their post in english then they'll reciprocate the same in those local boards because without even investigating i know he can't understand every local language his campaign participants post with. This is just a case of one campaign manager what about others? That been said i still stand on my previous statement I would had agreed to the idea as this will also make merit abusers hunters job easy but again it'll lead to laziness of many bounty managers, counting such post (because it was merited) as a quality post without knowing that it was a shitpost hiding in disguise.

I found the video interesting, although it includes a number of items with which I would disagree. It includes a reference to Reddit, but no mention of Bitcoin Talk - the forum that started the Bitcoin revolution.
Here's the catch, reddit and other social media needs publicity that's why they get mentioned in bitcoin related video as the video you saw above did. Bitcointalk doesn't need a promotional helps from those video because it promote itself. If I'm not mistaking, BT has over 2million+ registered account and they got that without a single advertisement. Any new investor/user interested in bitcoin will end up hearing about bitcointalk one way or the other that, this was the forum everything started from. Therefore i think the forum is doing good although there's some wisdom for improvement, lets leave others medias to enjoy the spotlight while we focus on maximising the potentials of BTCBitcointalk is already holding her position as the major contributor (as the growth ground for bitcoin) what else are we asking from the platform, she is doing great the way she is. That's just the fact.

Am really trying to see that happen. i have a shop and it is boldly written there{ pay in bitcoin and ethereum} and so far just two has paid in bitcoin and one person in ethereum .
You doing great, some scarify have to be made for success to be achieved. You might not be recognized globally but if you can achieve that recognition in your local community you have contributed positively towards the success of the use of bitcoin as a currency.

Lets fast forward to the 70's, 80's and 90's looking at the innovations that shaped our world as we have it today. We all know farming was a major motivation but it doesn't stop there, what other innovation or technology changed the world more?.

Congratulations on your achievement, you just joined LoyceV, DdmrDdmr and few other that have earned 1000+merits club. Lower rank users won't understand that the pressure it even much on higher rank users to earn merit because the higher your rank, the lesser your chances of getting merited unless you're lucky to get a fan based (make new friends) that rewarded you previously for your quality posting because most meriters are concentrating on lower rank users to rank them up. From my merit stats on So.... on which board did you earn most of your Merit? you'll notice B&H is my strong hold for earning merits due to started thread but of recent I have slow down taking my mind off starting any thread on this board and contributing/help newbies when necessary. I'm trying to explore other means of using this forum I feel there's more to Bitcointalk than just commenting on threads.

Most of The UEFA campions league games are just getting boring since they repeat feature almost every season. We all know Barcelona is going to win Lyon due to previous record and Barca recent form. Don't think I'm going to watch that match but I love rooting for the underdogs so this season I go for a win for Lyon maybe this will be the time they finally win Barca and home advantage might be in their favour so I predict 3-2 in favor of Lyon.

Isn't that a good thing if the board is under serious moderation? At least we still have one of the few boards, quality conversation can be associated with. The strict moderation is driving away spammers and scammers and other moderators should make the boards they're moderatoring more spam free as the mining board is. Instead of complaining lets encourage them they're doing their jobs well.

It all comes down to the campaign in question. When participants post in local boards it serves as a bonus to most campaign and that's why they don't count those posts unless the campaign is targeting audience form that local board. When it comes to most local board I don't think merit is truly been used as it was supposed to be used. most post you see get merit isn't actually worth that merit or that amount of merit it's getting. (Merit abuser Thread is what I use to back this accusations because most of then comes from local boards)
I would had agreed to the idea as this will also make merit abusers hunters job easy but again it'll lead to laziness of many bounty managers, counting such post (because it was merited) as a quality post without knowing that it was a shitpost hiding in disguise.

However, I think they have more representative on this forum. Please reply here with username if you found. I am going to tag them, I want to know opinions from othere DT members.
I'm not a DT member but I have something to say. Any investor relying on these raking or rating site for guidance on investing in icos are doing themselves more hard than good. Just like the so called crypto experts (influencers) on YouTube and Twitter these site are fraud because they get paid for better rating. That been said, If a rating site have been found guilty for giving attractive rating for clear cases of scams project in different occasions then their account deserve to be tagged because they're supporting scam project. Remember we decided, users wearing signature or promoting scam projects will be tagged if caught therefore I see no reason why rating sites shouldn't be tagged

I guess we are much diverse and very few active members. Each user have different hobby and interest so it become somewhat difficult to get the group of like minded people.
That's true although sometimes it isn't the faults of the forum users but that of the community project developers must of them starting this projects has alternative motives while others don't follow up the project and lack of advertising (creating awareness) is the cause of the low turnout or people leaving the project.

Am not really a full time gambler but I'm a player, and if gamblers are addicted they'll have some favorite games to play, then what about the player who has also their favorite games can we really tell that they're also addicted to that certain game?
Since we're debating on players would have favorite game and gamblers here's my contribution. The average gambler can have a favorite game without been addicted could be s/he just love gambling with that game but in the case of an addicted gambler, it's a must to have a favorite game you waste all your money on even though you win or lose.
