Do you make a typo? I only heard about accounts nuked, but have not heard about posts nuked. So is it real?
Nope it's not a typo, to nuke can mean to erase completely, so to say a users post was nuked is actually correct, just that we're used to(on the forum)saying nuke for accounts and deleted for posts, the both words can even be interchanged and still be correct both syntactically and semantically. I know that when accounts nuked, all posts will be deleted and those nuked accounts will have zero post, zero activity, but if they used to be high ranked accounts, their merits will stay. Sometimes we saw accounts with 100 merits but zero post, zero activity, they are nuked ones. |

Earned 217 merits so far, did you careless read my OP?
Not sure how many sendable merits I sent, but I have 31 smerits available to give away. The sort of contest is legally, like signature campaigns or bounties, if managers manage them well.
Signature campaigns can be stopped if they bring shits to forum, like Yobit.
Merit contest can be shut down too.
You and others who think you are deserve smerits from the contest, are always welcome here.
But not all applicants will win 1 smerit, due to their post quality (in history and in posts they applied here), and my smerits fund is limited.
Just relax for now.

I sent some merits from what I earned (217 so far), and I want to give rest of my sendable merits away (31 sendable merits left so far). Today, I announce the sendable merit-give-away contest, for Full Member rank and below. I wish that the contest will give you motivation to keep doing good posts, as one of your minor contributions to make better forum, by reducing trash posts. Since 2018, what did you contribute to prevent signature ads removed globally?Criteria:- Eligible ranks: Full Member and below (I don't include higher rank because it is logically to have that limit due to my current rank, Full Member) - Applicants have to be good posters to win contest. - Good posters mean: having good posts in history, and post quality should have average good level. You can not make 100 shit posts and try to make one to five fake good posts and apply here. - Applied posts must be made within the last 2 weeks.- I will look at your applied posts and your post history before sending you my sendable merits. - You should be a English poster to join the contest (because I don't know your local languages). - Please re-apply after 30-days.- Exclusive boards: Please don't apply posts made in those boards: Bitcoin/ Altcoin/ Gambling Discussion- Don't apply if your posts are Copy/Paste & Reference Link. - Reward: Only 1 sendable merits for one qualifying applicant / 30 days. Sendable merit fund: 36.
This thread created as non-self-moderated one, but if spammers join, I will lock it and create a new one, self-moderated!- Please don't complain that why your application failed.
- You are welcome to reapply with your better posts, but if you complain why I don't give you merits, your later applications will be ignored.
- Your odds to win depends on applied post and post history.
- You will not get benefits for your post quota when I move this thread to Off-topic board.
Apply now! Good luck. |

Its good that people will get merit through this thread but i have another point of view on the merit giveaways threads.
It is the responsibility of the person to keep on distributing the merits while being on the forum. If he like any post, he should give merit to it (provided he has the smerit). Now by creating such threads, you shift your responsibility and ask people to show your posts and then you make selections on which to merit and which to not. It makes you look superior as you have some precious items and you are distributing it.
Secondly it sometimes give a wrong impression that merit is so difficult to get that first you have to post constructive and no one will give you merit and now you come on these threads and indirectly beg " Please see the my post, i'll deserve merit on it. please give me merit".
OP have rights to use his/her sendable merits in the way (s)he wanted. If (s)he send smerits to good posts and good posters, there is nothing wrong here. my friend. You can not blame that you (or others) make good posts (for instance 100 good posts, and no one see or send merits to one of your 100 good posts). There are probabilities for your good posts to be found by others (due to garbage posts burried good posts), but there are always probability to get merits if you constantly make good posts. 10/100 good posts found by others, and some of them will get merits. I think it is fair. There are merit contests, people have free rights to join contest, and try their luck. Importantly, luck only comes to good posters. If in merit give-away contests, you or others can not win a single merit, from OPs, or from threads' readers, it is your/ their faults (mainly come from average post quality does not good enough to satisfy OPs' or readers' qualification) |

There are more merits from normal users. Merits do not only come from merit sources.
If 21k merits used by merit sources each month, forum will have 10.5k smerits to use each month. In reality, those figures of available smerits are higher due to cumulative figures over time.
If the rolling merit requirements lead to more merit spellings, it is good. Because it will help forum becoming cleaner. What we witnessed with Junior Member derank last year is a good example. People instantly reacted by sending merits to deranked Junior members, than they all caught. But it is not main reason to think of rolling merit requirements, because I think main reasons are to force people doing more constructive posts, especially high-ranked users, who will also see their risks of deranks if they keep posting garbage.
People who makes good posts will not have any issues with rolling merit requirements, IMO.

There is nothing wrong to be here and get some income, in case you contribute something to get extra income. If all guys joined forum to post "hi, thank you, nice, bump...", and get easy income, that is so weird nowadays. Not only in forum, but also on other platforms, like YouTube, there are lots of changes and people have to do more constructive and contentful things to have eligible stuffs, that in turn help them to earn income.

To be honest, most of newbies are joining this forum just for hunting from bounty/ICO's. They even do not bother to read useful topics where they could learn lot. I don't they they have tried to contribute for forum ever. Anyone should not leave his/her job due bounty or something else that related with crypto-currency. Because it would throw financial issue in near future. Its true that people's are earning from here by different way but I don't think we should fully depend on that earning.
There are some basic topics they should read: unofficial forum rules (from mprep), guides on signature campaign (from hilariousandco), and my thread Since 2018, what did you contribute to prevent signature ads removed globally?If they are here to get some kinds of income, they should read my thread and start to think seriously on their roles, and their contributions to help signature ads still be here, for their future income. |

I bumped this thread because I keep seeing members mentioning that they are members of Steemit.
Steemit is not a competition for Bitcoin Talk, but I believe it could be a complementary platform to be used by members to enhance and clean up some of the post here.
Steemit is different than Bitcointalk.org, in structural aspects. Other platforms, ie. Reddit or lots of crypto forums, are not competitors of bitcointalk.org. The forum is a backbone of crypto, the place born for bitcoin discussions (not the first bitcoin forum, but play the most important role in history of bitcoin). It is a unique forum, so there is no competitors that are able to beat bitcointalk.org, includes Steemit. A cross-forum partnership between bitcointalk.org and Steemit looks a great one, for both forums, and for crypto enthusiasts in general. |

Point being, I don't think just because you're in a signature campaign you should be altering your behavior, and avoid posting in sections that you would normally.
Users should read rules of campaigns that they are interested in, before applying. One of requirements that they should consider is which boards in which posts accepted and/or there are posts required in special boards, such as gambling, local boards. If they are not familiar with gambling boards, and have never posted in gambling boards, it is better to do not apply. Altering posting behaviors and trying to post in unfamiliar boards might make posters looks dumb by their non-sense posts, somehow. |

Here's another suggestion, all airdropped merit stays but smerits declays. Now when a user, get certain amount of good report against them for spamming, they get punished by removing some airdropped merit. Could be 15 merits per every 5 good report against them. This way, only the spammers get affected. The report used for this punishment has to be strictly spam related.
Your suggestion is demerit, right? But I think demerit 15 points for each 5 good reports (mean 5 bad posts) is very very strict. It should be reversed as 5 merits per 15 bad posts that reported by forum users, and handled with agreements from staffs. With the reversion of suggested demerit, I still think it is strictly. It will cause massive complaints, so in my opinion it is good if the period of permanent bans expand longer, because it will not demerit, derank, just put bad posters in longer temp-banned jails. |

You can find helpful tips in my thread Bitcoin transaction fees - everything in oneNote that Bitcoin transaction fee has its own cycle in timezones. Read more in my thread. As of writing, it is enough to move your coins at 1 Satoshi/ byte, but if you are in hurry, you can move your coins faster at 2-3 satoshis/byte as fees. https://coinb.in/#fees |

Yet again, my sarcasm didn't show though my post.
More along the lines of, "how the hell did 2 DT1 people actually select me" :-)
-Dave
As I saw in your trust page, and your trust summary, you traded with them, smoothly, and without issues, so they selected you.  |

If you are idle without doing any actions, the session gets logged out after 10 minutes and when you refresh the new IP gets replaced with the older IP. And the last IP of the day which gets recorded in the database is stored for a longer time.
Is the automatic log-out after each 10 minutes correct? When I log in, there is a checkbox and a texbox: Minutes to stay logged in: default value is 60 minutes, in which I can type the amount of time to automatic log out my accounts if my account is idle over the set-period Always stay logged in: - ticked to the box to always stay log in your account. |

Somehow I'm DT2
How did that happen?
LoyceV answered about that. You are DT member because DT1 members selected you, and added you into their trust lists. Can I ask that which are differences between DT1, DT2 members? DT1 members select DT2 members, just like DT2 members select DT3 members. I ask because I saw both DT1 and DT2 members can leave negative feedbacks on users All users can leave feedback, just not all of them are shown by default. |

Users will then delete previous posts if they do not want to rank down. Easily circumvented.
By mentioning about activity point, I meant actively posting. People can keep posting for their signature campaigns or bounties, and delete their past posts to maintain (nearly) constant activities over time. However, I don't think that is big issues and unsolvable because what LoyceV began to collect weeks ago might help, and forum can do it too ( Viewing unedited posts and deleted posts) It is fair if old Legendary maintains that rank over years if that account is inactive posting, but if that account makes 1000 posts and does not satisfy merits required (ie. 100 merits), that is very good indicator for shitposters. A better approach is to demote the people who do not distribute the merit to others. Those who receive merit gets smerit too. They should spend it too.
They only should send their sMerits to good posts they see, but they must not do it. Legendary: 111 out of 1602 (>= 60 earned merits in last 6 months) --> 6,93%
Hero Member: 116 out of 1865 (>= 48 earned merits in last 6 months) --> 6,22%
Sr. Member: 82 out of 3321 (>= 42 earned merits in last 6 months) --> 2,47%
Full Member: 116 out of 6167 (>= 30 earned merits in last 6 months) --> 1,88%
So, there are 12955 users from Full members and above; and only 425 of them (about 3.3%) satisfy the proposed time-rolling merit requirements to maintain ranks (by DaveF). If that thing actually used, it will be another big change of forum, just after merit system in 2018. Personally, I think it will be the biggest change in forum rank system, because all ranks will be affected, no matter users are old-era (before) or new-era (after the birthday of merit system). Legendary: 111 out of 1602 (>= 60 earned merits in last 6 months) --> 6,93%
With legendary users who have been actively posting within last 6 months, and earned less then 60 merits; are they real legendary users? There are hundreds of users from Full Members to Hero Member ranks whom earned from 100 merits and above to rank up. They likely have higher values than those legendary (less than 60 earned merits) during the same period of last 6 months. I believe for those cases, their earned merits are much lower than 60. |

I don't think so, DaveF, because you forgot about inactive users. Your suggested requirements should be combined with activity points. Thinking about it how about "rolling merit"
[ ... ]
You need:
Brand new: Same
Newbie: Same
Jr Member: Same
Member: 10 but must get at least 1 every month or you drop to Jr. Member
Full Member: 75 but must get 5 every month on average per rolling 6 months or you drop to Member
Sr. Member: 150 but must but must get 7 every month on average per rolling 6 months or you drop to Full Memeber
Hero Member: 450 but must get 8 every month on average per rolling 6 months or you drop to Full Memeber
Legendary: 750 but must get 10 every month on average per rolling 6 months or you drop to Full Memeber
-Dave
I think it can be improved like this: Brand new: Same Newbie: Same Jr Member: Same Member: 10 but must get at least 1 merit for each 100 activity points to maintain the rank, if not, user will drop to Jr. Member Full Member: 75 but must get 5 merits for each 200 activity points to maintain the rank, if not, user will drop to Member Sr. Member: 150 but must but must get 10 for each 400 activity points to maintain the rank, if not, user will drop to Full Member Hero Member: 450 but must get 50 for each 800 activity points to maintain the rank, if not, user will drop to Senior Member Legendary: 750 but must get 100 for each 1000-1200 activity points to maintain the rank, if not, user will drop to Hero Member |

People have rights to leave their feedback on others, but DT members, from 1 to 3 levels, have their more powerful weights with their feedbacks, especially with old Trust system.
After Trust Flag born to adjust and improve old Trust system, weights of feedbacks seems to be blurred a bit. This change help people whom painted with negative trusts less paranoid. Negative trust, for now, simply displayed with more friendly and less shocking color, with Orange (compared to past color, Red). Weighted trust eliminated too (nowadays, we no longer see Trust: -200 that come from a few powerful DT members' feedback)
But negative feedbacks from DT members, whoever they are, always show with Orange, that leads me to a thought that:
- Do DT members should have at least a minimum of positive trusts before their negative feedbacks on others will be displayed with Orange color?
- Forum does not need to see drama from new DT members whom still unfamiliar with their power, and can use their power wrongly.
