You'll have to be a prophet to be accurate with your speculations
We all wish for this to happen,but predicting it will,wouldn't make it happen.
The market in my opinion still has a long recovery process to go through before the bull(10k)

Bitcoin isn't just any tech,its a well laid down one that survived even when other cryptocurrencies prior to it couldn't,yeah it's volatile and we all know it,sometimes it's volatility could take it to rock bottom but it tends to spring up one more time
Relating it to the stocks with no evidence seems untrue to me, bitcoins have had previous bears and according to you the stocks were bullish then,if they usually went hand in hand then the bitcoin and the stocks ought to be experiencing the same market situation since the bitcoin came on scene,the only relationship between the bitcoin and the stocks this year is that in general this year has been bad for all investors market.

The blockchain technology definitely is going to be adopted worldwide and is here to stay just like you said, but it's doing so with the bitcoin

In this case there is no decision to be made,the rules are the rules and until it changed as has been clamored for all month long, plagiarism=permaban,and OP is only allowed this thread(appeal)in meta, posting outside this thread is evading his or her ban and would also get banned
Even if something was to be done about plagiarism,OP's case is a clear one of copy pasting, exactly word for word for financial gain.

Edit:Suchmoon kinda split his 4 merit 'law" amongst the two "catchers"(2 each)....so fair

The most suitable way to earn bitcoins is to purchase them with your money(fiat) or other Altcoins you're hodling
Little tasks and skills can't earn you a worthwhile amount,except of course after numerous years, it's best to invest with money you've saved up in fiat currencies
OP talked about earning bitcoins through mining forgetting we've moved on from the past when it was easy to mine,now you'll have to put into considerations the high cost required to mine and actually how many users can afford it.
If it was so easy to earn bitcoins by mining with little costs we'll all be billionaires

Firstly it's best and advisable to keep images away from your threads especially when the aim of such images is just to beautify the thread,like yours which doesn't add anything or is in connection with what you wrote or intended to write
Once I come across a user who does that I immediately feel such user has nothing to say that'll be beneficial.

But I still took my time out to read your content,it is best to try out the search button,this ideas are practically written here every now and then (single day), it's nothing new, and can't be considered as a guide as all you did was say don't do this and that which everyone knows
This can't help one to trade successfully,it takes far more than this to be a successful trader

If you're looking for trusted campaigns,then you'll need to work for trusted bounty managers and there are a lot of'em, just that most accept high ranked members only(at least from full member up and in few cases member rank) ,i am talking about the bitcoin paying bounty.
So if you want to work with an Altcoin bounty project,you can find a whole lot in the bounty section of the forum.
Be careful with most of'em,they usually end of being a scam,so be reserved on the amount of money you wish to invest with

This IMO isn't more than a normal forum troll and it goes on in most boards of the forum,paying more than normal attention to it actually escalates it and makes it more serious than it actually ought to be or intended to be by the poster.
But just so things would remain sane it's always best to report such posts so they'll be trashed by a MOD

A 7 days ban is a weak solution and wouldn't deter anyone from plagiarism,as they simply can do so,get off and chill out for 7 days and they are back, it just doesn't make sense.
This looks most sensible to me,but wouldn't it be difficult to ascertain those who plagiarise for such reasons,i mean how are we going to go about it determining those who cheated simply to earn from the forum.

You do not have to meet to be guilty of plagiarism,i am sure we all know of the dictionary meaning of plagiarism,they could be your tutors as well,the forum has no problems with that
But sharing each others work is not allowed as its simply copy pasting what one of you has said earlier and it's not allowed,if only you had read the rules beforehand you should have known this and probably couldn't have fallen for it

You're wrong,there is actually no popularity contest in here as being popular here IMO counts for nothing,its just about working for the good of the forum and that's through bringing to book those who are doing the wrong things in here and here for wrong reasons,and sadly you happen to be one of them

Sadly you may not get to read this very reply of mine because this your accounts will likely be banned for ban evasion

Permanent signature bans
For me that's the most reasonable,when a user is caught plagiarising,such user is banned permanently and isn't allowed to create any other alt account or such would be banned also(ban evasion)

Thus if we're to change things here,preventing such users from earning an extra dime on the forum is synonymous with a permanent ban,just that they will be allowed to stay on the forum,but on read mode,the only difference between it and the normal status quo is that they'll be allowed to make posts,reply posts and send PM

That way we do not change a whole lot of things all at once, and it would still act a strict deterrent as over 80% of users are all on signatures(earning from the forum),and wouldn't want to lose that privilege.

I haven't actually noticed a reduction in shitposting,as far as I know things have remained fairly the same way at least for a while now, except probably cos you've been away for a while
The bitcoin discussions board is still in its worse state,likewise the AD, while meta is still mostly filled with ban appeals which means people are still doing the wrong things by stealing others works.

I think the last time we actually saw a visible change was few days/weeks into the new merit enhancement for newbies,the quality of posts increased a lot during that period,but it all seems to have died down slowly

We do not necessarily have to bother about illegitimate fake accounts and definitely not to the extent of making it difficult for the genuine ones to sign up
We do not care if the fake accounts get in, they will definitely not rank up, but will either end up being nuked,banned or the account abandoned

That's pretty much a good score and should not be one to worry much about,as their are very few users with a 100% accuracy(if there are any)
I think Its for this very reason theymos included the phrase that we should not be to worried about accuracy score

Apparently your 97% score is worth more than the 3% inaccurate ones

It may actually be difficult to get an accurate data,as many users have either cleared up their post history for one reason or the other or have stopped posting on the forum
You'll need more in depth materials and probably a history of such users posts,deleted or not(if thats possible)

The issue isn't even with the worthless question,but with the OP who's on a member rank with 15 merits asking a question that ought to be asked by one on his or her first day here

There is no chance in hell OP doesn't know the requirements,i guess this is just some random guy sitting behind the keyboard tryna catch some fun from the reactions that'll follow his or her very useless question.

And who's to say to members from rank:full member and above are all quality/Top notch posters, I disagree with you totally as there are numerous members on that rank,even on well paid signatures but still post poor quality on the forum.
Go to the BD or AD section,and check out threads with numerous pages, the final pages aren't always filled with shitposting noobs, you'll also find the very full members and above ranks with posts in there that are even more worthless than that of a junior member

The problem is with shitposters and not with ranks,putting it out as explicitly a rank problem is rather unfair and saving the shitposting high rankees some sticks.

Your suggestion isn't going to save the forum but drag it down the drain,absolutely close to 90% of users on the forum all put on a signature,whether it's a bitcoin paying signature or an Altcoin signature,they all are signatures,so if everyone's signatures don't show up when posting,then those projects wouldn't consider this forum a viable means of advertisement,and as such bitcoin talk is going to lose a huge amount of traffic and also funds

Think through your ideas before posting,and also note that one may not be on a signature,but be a shitposter,how then is your proposal going to address that
For now keep using the "report to the moderator button" till theymos comes up with something better then an enhanced newbie restriction

OP seems to have run into his shells at the reply he actually got  ,post edited into an apology.
OP seems to be having a hard time communicating on the forum,if only he or she will take out time to better themselves,then this will be uncalled for

Since the thread no longer exists,and is different from the subject title,i will suggest OP locks this now, let's move on

How possible can this be,this is where one gets the requisite knowledge and information to get started in the cryptocurrency network.
And that's for newbies who really want to put their heads down and learn in here,i doubt you're one of such newbies

Anyways if you feel you're losing more than you're gaining in here,the doors are always open for people to leave,just never login again,and that's all

If we're talking about reporting one or two plagiarists and cheaters and then move on to meriting some quality posters,then that sounds more reasonable and something that should be worthwhile doing
But when the whole scenario is like reporting about 90% plagiarists and scrapping through loads of low content to merit the other 10%,now that's a goddamn strenous task to do and that could leave the OP@bones not watching TV for a very long time.
