As we now got rid of game-protect maybe its possible we get rid of from his spamming stupid feedbacks he have given a lot of users for no reason!
Who cares about the trust spam,just don't bother. The feedback should stay as a proof of the wrongdoing of the banned user. My whole wall is read by two banned accounts but i don't really care about it  |

From all the comments above man can be very confused when he can have signature and post pictures.
Let me get this straight.
Newbie - no signature, cannot post pictures.
Jr. Member - you have signature (just text) and you can embed pictures into posts. Need 1 merit.
Member (need 10 merit) = Copper Member (paid membership) - fully functional signature(number of characters limit) , less restrictions in posting, PMs,searching etc.
Hope this is clear now.

The multiple reports are needed so they can out stand the posts which need quick reaction. Aslo one can report the post for spam, other can report that post for having a link to infected wallet for example. So both are correct but for the second report the user will be banned.
Just something to ponder about. What if the second user decides to enter some irrelevant comment or mumbo jumbo, would his or hers get approved as well? Perhaps one way to solve this is to link the report ID with the users' ID with the checkboxes and assign them accordingly, but I doubt the programmers/ developers here might want to revamp the whole thing.  So by using the above example, the mod(s) could simply mark report 2 and 5 as Bad, followed by 1, 3 and 4 as Good.[/b] I think that the system works a bit different, for example if you report the same post twice you don't get good reports twice, sometimes its unhandled sometimes its bad. That means that the mod check every report separately and approve only those who apply, so if you write some mumbo jumbo comment you gonna get what you deserve no matter what happens to that post. |

Focusing on the whole forum in general , what is the policy for removing(trashing) a thread instead of locking it? Are the mods taking in consideration the content of the discussion or just the OP? Example : We see that's some of the cryptocurrencies ranking level are decreased such as dogecoin before it was ranked #4 but currently I think it doesn't listed even in top #10 ranking... So can bitcoin also decrease its rank in the future or it will remain #1 rank forever?.
A newbie created 8 threads like this above in a matter of a day. Many of them are trashed, now there are 2 more in the profile from the example. Shall they be trashed as well. Here are my thoughts: if a spammer post in those threads and they get locked, the spammer get their reward from the signature campaign. If the thread gets trashed, he looses all the time and effort to post and eventually will give up. Its It is very easy to make a alt account, post some stupid questions and the spammer gets to answer, then more spammers come over, of course there are good legit people posting too, when kind of discussion is created but it's just an empty talk. Then other spammer do the same to return the favor of the previous one, and basically there is no end to it. Do we need to add some guidelines to reduce this from happening? |

I see the threads are deleted now (almost all of them). Did you report them? We can't do more than just report them. Sometimes those who post in spammy threads don't realize that if the thread gets removed, they loose all their precious posts  So if you give the spammer s bit more time with the thread and then report it, those who posted there might learn their lesson when the thread gets trashed. |

I have discussed this problem with the multiple reports of the same posts so many times before in different threads so we ended up with this. The multiple reports are needed so they can out stand the posts which need quick reaction. Aslo one can report the post for spam, other can report that post for having a link to infected wallet for example. So both are correct but for the second report the user will be banned. Keep in mind that I never got any feedback from theymos on the case only the interpretation from different moderators. That's why I created the SpamBuster's club when the spam level was sky high so we (who reported on daily basis) don't waste time on reporting same low priority threads/posts many times. No matter how many people report the post, if it got handled, everyone's report get handled as well. Sometimes it takes time, you see the reported post is deleted but your report is still unhandled, just give it a bit more time. What I suggest for the people with 300+ good reports the link "Report to moderator" to turn in red if the post has been already reported, but you can choose what to do yourself Edit > oeleo was quicker then me |

Just for info, here are the other accounts of the OP. The copper member is this one > Touheedkhan78sehar32111 gazi22 connected via twitter account > sehargul33 |

There are a few cases for now showing the picture for your Copper account. 1. If you post it for your Copper account, check if you are really wearing the copper membership.  source of the pic 2.The image file size is restricted to 2 MB (or maybe 2.5MB don't remember but 2MB for sure) anything above 2MB (or 2.5MB) will throw an error. 3. It's not a direct link to the image .jpg .gif .png For your current account the situation is clear, you need to rank up to post an image. |

This has to be bumped, I just created my first vanity address, which I was planning to do quite long ago. Thanks 1miau for the guide.

Nice one, looks difficult.  I hope you were more successful than me.  The next step is SegWit One Of course, are you using VanitySearch for SegWit vanity addresses? It's wasn't that difficult, took me maybe approximately 20 mins @i7 9700K I guess I was lucky.  I was thinking to try 1asenko instead but takes 2.4 days. So maybe sometime later can do a try. Regarding the SegWit, yeah, I was reading exactly this thread so when I have more free time will try it as well. I have so many ideas now |

I don't know about the others threads but the first one marked in the OP is legit. Calling the Bitcoin community to help battle COVID-19 is self moderated and the OP really keeps it clean, already 9 spam posts deleted. The thread has a real purpose of helping scientists to solve medical problems using CPU power of everyone who is willing to help. I agree that the covid-19 is a perfect excuse for the spammers to generate shitposts. |

Thanks I, for one, will make sure i'll never post in any form of altcoin giveaway ever again, no matter in wich subforum or which form. Since you are back to normal, again thanks to theymos, I will remove the neutral feedback I left on both your accounts. Lesson learned even if I wasn't banned and never posted in any giveaway.Good to know that no one is safe Don't forget to lock the topic |

Many of you probably prefer a custom made routers like me, so if you end up having one with OpenWrt on it, then you might be in trouble. Below is the full article from TheHackerNews. Keep your coins safe! A cybersecurity researcher today disclosed technical details and proof-of-concept of a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting OpenWrt, a widely used Linux-based operating system for routers, residential gateways, and other embedded devices that route network traffic.
Tracked as CVE-2020-7982, the vulnerability resides in the OPKG package manager of OpenWrt that exists in the way it performs integrity checking of downloaded packages using the SHA-256 checksums embedded in the signed repository index.
While an 'opkg install' command is invoked on the victim system, the flaw could allow a remote man-in-the-middle attacker in a position to intercept the communication of a targeted device to execute arbitrary code by tricking the system into installing a malicious package or software update without verification.
If exploited successfully, a remote attacker could gain complete control over the targeted OpenWrt network device, and subsequently, over the network traffic it manages.
The three-year-old vulnerability was discovered earlier this year by Guido Vranken from the ForAllSecure software company, who then reported it responsibly to the OpenWrt development team.
In a blog post published today, Vranken explained that when a checksum contains any leading spaces, OPKG on the vulnerable versions of OpenWrt skips checking the integrity of the downloaded package and proceeds to the installation task.
"Due to the fact that opkg on OpenWrt runs as root and has write access to the entire filesystem, arbitrary code could be injected by means of forged .ipk packages with a malicious payload," OpenWrt team said.
The remote exploitation of this vulnerability is possible due to the fact that integrity in Linux based software installation mechanisms rely on digitally signing files while downloading files over the insecure HTTP connection.
Besides this, to exploit the vulnerability, attackers also need to serve a malicious package with the size equals to that specified in the package list on downloads.openwrt.org.
According to the project team, OpenWrt versions 18.06.0 to 18.06.6 and 19.07.0, as well as LEDE 17.01.0 to 17.01.7, are affected.
"As a stopgap solution, OpenWRT removed the space in the SHA256sum from the package list shortly after I reported the bug," Vranken said.
"However, this is not an adequate long-term solution because an attacker can simply provide an older package list that was signed by the OpenWRT maintainers."
To fix this issue, affected users are advised to upgrade their device firmware to the latest OpenWrt versions 18.06.7 and 19.07.1, which were released last month.

BTW I've been trough my PMs and I can tell that this guy really invested a lot of time and effort reporting spam, I don't think he will leave the forum for like 2500$ and ruin the whole reputation. Probably it's a lot of money where he lives but still, with his reputation had a chance to make this 2.5K for like 4-5 months. I don't think his plan was to scam when he started, but if he was trying to pay back one loan by taking another, my guess is he has more debts elsewhere too. That could put his total debt far above an (average) annual salary where he lives, and my guess is his debt on Bitcointalk is a lot easier to walk away from than debts he took in real life. Maybe you are right but I think he is a kind of a guy who will come here and say directly that he is not able to pay back the loan and apologize for his actions instead of disappearing without further notice. That's probably what I would do if I end up in the situation like this. Of course this won't happened with me because I would never take a loan I don't like the loans at all. |

You have no idear... I have maybe 3 or 4 hours "real" work each day during this crisis... The rest of the time i have to monitor partitions and check our teams mailbox (4 or 5 mails/day, but 5 collegues are also looking at the same mails and graphs... You're basically lucky if you are the first one to see a problem/open a mail). Loads of boredom...
I made the error of opening my "normal" account and saw people derailing threads and misquoting/misinterpreting some of my posts... Normally i would have replied them straight away, but now i have to undergo everything, nothing i can do...
Nowhere in the rules says that you cannot report spam with your alt,even if he(you) only has to post in meta. I really doubt that you end up more banned because you busted some spammers. There you have something to do now if that's not to boring too. |

Damn, just tried one to see what will happens. Those websites should be reported and taken down!! I also thought that using a random QR Code reader on the mobile is very unsafe. Luckily I have my post app which have a barcode/QR code reader, I can trust it a bit more then the rest of the scanners and it works perfectly even with a data matrix codes |

I will take everyone who joins a campaign off the list, so only those who are renting are there. I'll updated the OP and all some more info what to do when you enter into a campaign.
If you join a campaign, please inform me to remove you from the list, you can post here or send me PM.
Kindly remove me from the list as well... - I'm in the same boat as "amishmanish" and based on our manager's statement, the campaign might initially last for 2 more weeks before it gets evaluated for further weeks.Done, thank you |

Sorry I haven't seen this earlier that's why you get my reply now. I have no access to this information on the https://www.cryptos-currencies.com but the admin probably has, if this information is still relevant, you can contact lulucrypto if he can provide you with this info.
