Scam activities are more harmful than restricting newbie copper member in just a certain section and that the bouties and altcoins only to start a thread.

Anyway,  it is forum admin to decide and we of course as part of community could also see lapses share thoughts and hopefully all are open to it. I am not directing anyone to do it for it was just a piece of advise or suggestion. I am no expert running a forum but that adivse was just a possibility that could happen. All of wanted to get rid of scammers I guess if not then probably you are with the scammers. Right?

Yes I get your point,

But I am only advising to exhaust scammers and fraud people in their monkey business. Aren't you happy if they will get difficulties in their scam activities?

Another thing is that buying hack account is more expensive than buying a copper membership. Copper membership is unlimited while hack accounts are not. This can make a change I guess and it will going to happen if the forum wanted to.

Instead of wasting our time reporting them and taking them one by one, the effort will be put to waste since it is easier to create another project and buy a copper membership to promote the project. There is really no point in doing such report unless you only want to do is to grow your account by earning merits from each report you made in a post.

I am a busy man so here is my question.

Is it possible not to allow copper membership, jr.member to post in bounties altcoin section?

The reputation in that section is already broken and the purpose of crowdfunding project has been defeated by people promoting scam and it is easy for them to do because they can get easy access in that section by using copper membership or jr.member rank with just 1 merit requirement and 30 activities for that rank and post their fake project.

Instead of reporting hundreds of them why not make it hard for them to make their scamming business?

I know it isn't about the rank but the scammers are using it for their advantage.

I think at least we can rebuild the reputation of that area by not allowing them to post in that certain section.

Edit: Sorry to confused you what I meant to restrict copper members and jr. member is to manage crowdfunding projects. If they will be restricted in managing projects there will be lesser scam projects usually promoted by them and you can check it in altcoin bounties section to which mostly copper members and jr. members are managinf scam projects.

Yeah I am not new, I am just an alt account

I made this because of scam issue.

Why the admin of the forum allow this activity?
I just feel that there is a need in protecting the welfare of the community here in the forum right?
If the forum is design like this then we should not help or invite people joining here.
Education does not apply in this forum for full of negative people. It is not conducive for learning. You can learn here about cryptocurrency but the people aren't trusted. It is better to learn outside in the forum rather than sticking with bad people everywhere of the corner of the forum. The forum also has more on topics about scam discussions and not about bitcoin which is really intended to when Satoshi created the forum. My basis are the bounties and altcoins section where almost 90-95% are scam or fraud and 99% of it are just use to collect crowd funds list the projects and then abandon it later on. The worst is that they made a good promise without saying goodbye. It will hurt the investors more than the feeling of breaking up to a girlfriend. 😂😂

I know you can say that If I do not like the forum I can leave, Yes, I can and I did but I will still hope that the forum will change and I can go back anytime without having negative impressions among other members.

Another thing is that there are many bully members dominating especially in this section. I feel guilt whenever they did to someone they don't feel to like. It is not a good indicator of a good forum where admin wanted to happen basing on their efforts implementing merit and trust system.


Cryptocurrency is a good technology that could change the payment options that could be done in decentralized manner and of course that could be done online without the hassle of bringing money. Amazing tech actually,

Well, with or without the forum I can still invest or have bitcoin and that is one important thing.

I am sorry for that confusions.

I had just a bad feeling about the implementation of merit system and the copper membership.

Is there any by chance that those who buy copper membership will be ask of their purpose before approving their request on buying copper membership?

Largely scam projects or failing projects are created by them. There should be a way for them to stop their doings.

Please respect post for I just wanted express something that I think for you would not be necessary to discuss with but hopefully it will going to enlighten me.

First the creation of merit and rank system had been making hard for us to rank up but implenting the system is way better to somehow resolved major issues especially in shit posting (making number of generic, off topic or just few words post just to increase activity of the account) Clearly it had benefited the forum and newcomer like me had already experience better forum for crypto discussions compared before. Earning merit is also a way to contribute meaningfully for the forum and merits as a motivation to continue beng helpful sharing of ideas and news related to cryptocurrency current events.

Second, the implementation of rank and merit system was changed and newbie are not allowed to wear signature. This closes them the door to join in signature bounties which is for me is ideal because most newbie are learning and may not be as good as rank up members in promoting projects.

Third, Jr. members are allowed to post images but it does need 1 merit and certain activity to rank up and can wear signature. The Jr. member in rank can post image in their posts. But if you are using new account (newbie) and wishes to promote a project the easiest way is to buy copper membership in order to unlock features for posting image and can wear signatures like in those member in rank.

Fourth, Trust system has been implemented and are all working fine as well basing on the bounties and altcoin sections for many scammers tag by DT with red trust. A good sign that that scamming in the forum would not be easy now unlike before. Rank up users will avoid getting red trust because they too know how hard to earn merits and are careful not to get tag with red trust. So, scammers will going to use newbie accounts and are buying copper membership to promote scam project.

Fifth, copper membership was relatively cheap and easy to purchase or buy. It can be a way for the scammers to promote their fake project without using their rank up accounts to avoid getting tag of red trust.
Rank up accounts are valued and even some of hack rank accounts were being for sale in some sites.

The owner or team managing the project (like ICO, IEO, STO or DEFI) could post the project using their rank up bct account but they wouldn't to avoid getting red trust when they fail or could not pay bounty hunters.

The most knowledgeable in running a project here could be those who had successfully launched the projects like those established coins in the market and are bringing another project either wanting to scam or promote cryptocurrency or bitcoin. In this case they are more knowledgeable in creating projects that include the pioneers here in the forum as its seems the creation of merit system and copper membership is not a coincidence rather it was plan.

Random thoughts

1. Could it be possible that people created several projects despite of becoming a failing project or not?

2. We know copper membership could post image and wear signature even a newbie. Does a copper membership an anticipation of the promotion of the projects may it becoming a scam project or not?

3. Why copper membership created when in fact it is not necessary?

I am not against the copper membership but I am against those newbie who wear copper membership promoting scam projects. This is just my random thought anyway.

Please enlighten me!
