tl;dr
Oooopps, calm down. It seems like you are too much affected on what Ive said.  

First of all I respect all of you and Im not posting this to make a fight, its just an accident that I notice something fishy on their merit history.

Im here to get what others opinion about this because it is too unfair for other local board that this is happening on your local board.



BTW If Im on your local I dont need 2 lifetimes to rank up because it is obvious that its easy to get a bunch of merits on your local board, by the way I dont have too much time to study your "fucking language".


EDIT:
If all of you are affected because I have a suspicion on Mr. paxmao then lets exclude him here.

Mr. paxmao is EXCLUDED on the suspicion.

So now what would be your reaction on these 2 accounts?

This user tamradhwaj commits plagiarism.

Yes that is why I stated this.


Yes I cant but as what Ive said earlier even if not it can still consider as merit farming.



I would love to be a part of your local board, it seems like its too easy to earn merits.

This is not a scam accusation topic, the purpose of this is to inform everyone about this trick so I think this will fit here as the section name Beginners & Help.

Actually I dont really have an idea about that before this happen and thats my first time to deal with other people in cryptocurrency and I am really in need of money that's why I take the risk.


Thanks for the additional information.

BTW I have any other information from him aside from his telegram and e-mail that he used.

Even if we exclude Mr. paxmao here, the OP still clearly shows that Mr. Gothorum and Mr. Compiler commits merit farming even those accounts owned by one or even they are friends in real life.

EDIT:
By the way I reviewed your merit history and theres nothing suspicious there and most of the sended and received merits are fair enough.

But not to be abuse.

Note: Please inform me if this violates any rules and I will delete the OP.

Last night I have a deal on this unknown user who wants to buy my altcoin and Im willing to sell it because I really need a money right now.

So this guy PM me on telegram and show me his balance on his metamask as a newbie on this and Im the one in need I agree to send my altcoins first our transaction will be divided by 2, Ill send the half of my altcoins and he will send me 1 ETH then again.

So after sending him half of my altcoins he sended me the ETH he send a video proof to make the next transaction.

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecaLq8t7l7U

In the video the transaction is confirmed so I believe him and make the 2nd transaction I send the rest of my altcoins and he will send again another 1 ETH.

After that I wait for more than hour hoping for my 2 ETH so I chat him again and hes gone, in that time I have a suspision that it is a scam and yes it is.

I ask my friend how it happen's when it clearly shows in the video that the transaction is sent.

So heres the answer:



As of now I already moved on and consider it a charge to experience, but I dont want other users here to be a victim of this.


Showing a scammer tricks to the public will make them to think of another way on how to scam others so Good luck and take care on your every transactions.

Im going to assume that Mr. paxmao is a merit Source by looking on his merit history.

If you are going to review all those post you will notice that most of that post came from a new's on other website's and he just add the source of it, Im going to assume that this is a trick to receive reasonable merits.

Also if you review the post history of Mr. Compiler we can consider him as a 1/2 liner and a spammer on bitcoin discussion board.

If you are going to review all of those post you will notice that most of that merited post by Mr. Compiler is also merited by Mr. paxmao.

Also check the dates of those post and the date when he Mr. Gothorum send those merits most of that posted a long time ago and the merit is given almost 1 month after the post, Imagine how Mr. Gothorum dig Mr. Compiler post history?

Heres the example
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4802576.msg43320737#msg43320737

Mr. Compiler posted that on August 2 and Mr. Gothorum send 10 merits just today.

I can say that most of those post above are meritable post but if you are going to review it on your own all of those post gets merit only by Mr. paxmao and only 1 of those post get merits from others.

Aside from that it seems like Mr. paxmao is reviewing his post history just to make the given merits is reasonable because this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4544200.msg40903958#msg40903958 is made on June 25 and merited by Mr. paxmao on August 27 if you look at this topic it seems like the topic is already dead because it has no reply since August 16.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4322388.msg38767088#msg38767088 -2 merit

The posts is reasonable enough to receive the merits but if Im on the situation of Mr. Compiler I would not give Mr. Gothorum 9 merits on a single post because Im just a "member" and I dont have much merit to send 9 merits on a single post.

You will notice that on this 2 posts there's this Mr. freemind1 that also gives huge amount of merits and after reviewing his profile I want to add him to this because he sent a total of 37 merits to Mr. Gothorum and if you are going to review his merit history almost all of his merits given is focused on Mr. Gothorum.

This is the list of post of Mr. Gothorum that receive merits from Mr. freemind1:

On Mr. paxmao I cant see a strong evidence on his merit history because he did'nt receive much amount of merit from Mr. Gothorum and Mr. Compiler,

But looking on his merit history most of the merits he sent to other users are reasonable aside from the merits he sent to Mr. Compiler but there are also some users that receive's merits from him that is unreasonable to give.


I can say that Mr. paxmao may not involved with this merit farming but I can also say that there's a easy distribution of merit on their local board.

Examples:

Also if you take a look again on the merit history of Mr. Gothorum and Mr. Compiler you will also have a doubt like me.

Lets say my is suspicion is true, if Im on Mr. paxmao position I will also do the same thing I will also take care of that account and I will avoid to give merit to that account because that account is a merit source.



As I said at first it will be better if Mr. paxmao respond to this OP to clear things up.



EDIT:
I think this will be more clearer if the merit history dont get deleted every 120 days and it will be more useful for things like this.

Im not against on what OP said but on Mr. SHAWN-MIDWAYS case its clear that he commited Plagiarism.

Nobody is perfect sometime's we all made a mistake like the second example you give on Mr. iasenko its obviously a mistake that is why he dont get banned.

Sometimes the reason for this cause is lack of sleep or if you already reading for a long time on your screen or especially when you are on your phone because its hard to select text on phone.

Deleted post is not a big deal, just move on if your post value is low quality then dont waste your time to complain, most newbie's gets a deleted post especially when someone report your post its because your post is either low quality or your post is already said by others.

Its just a deleted post its part of the system but its not a big deal, complain here if your post is super duper important that is never been posted here.

I am supporting @crwth application to be a merit source.

Philippines local board really needs it.

Hi, kamusta sa lahat.

Matagal tagal nadin since nung huli kong bisita dito sa local board naten sa kadahilanang madalas na nadedelete lang ang mga useful thread's na ginagawa ko dto para makatulong sa iba kaya simula nun hindi na tlga ako nag popost dto sa local.

Ngayong nakita kong nagkakaisa na ang karamihan sa atin na active member mukang mapapadalas na ulit ang pag bisita ko dto.

Sang ayon naman ako sa mga sinabi ng OP, isa pang problema natin dto ay mukang busy yata ang mga moderator dto sa local board naten or baka naumay na din sila sa mga old filipino member na nang sspam lang dito dati.


To @Dabs and @rickbig41:

Sana mapagtuunan ulit ng pansin ang local board naten may mga legit member's na ulit tayo na nagmamalasakit dito sa PH board at nangangailangan kami ng inyong tulong upang mas mapaayos ang board naten dahil sirang sira na ang mga pilipino sa ibang DT members and Moderators.

Kinakaylangan nating magkaisa para sa kaayusang at kalinisang muli ng ating local board para in the future hindi na nila sinisisi ang mga pinoy dto sa forum.

Madami nang na ban na mga filipino na spammer ng bounty campaign at mas maganda kung makakaisa tayo para maubos din ang mga ALT accounts nila at makakuha ng red trust.


Totoo naman ung sinasabi ng iba na madami tlgang spammer at cheater na pinoy pero totoo din naman na may mga legitimate member din na tulad ng iba sa amin at hindi inaabuso ang forum.



Im hoping to the success of application of @crwth to be a merit source. 

Of course you will never admit it and you only want to take nikjain422 back because it is the highest rank on your accounts and you cant afford to lose it because you know to yourself that you cant earn merit by posting shit.

Dude its just 10 merit's to be a "member" its not that hard if you learn how to use this forum properly.

BURNED! 

Same as the idea on my mind I know that before I posted this theymos would not agree to join a telegram group but at least I give it a shot , in this case if I created a group I dont think that many forum members will cooperate but if a reputable forum member will start then there will be a higher chance that most of the forum members will join and cooperate.

Yes there's already a twitter but I think it would be better if theymos also created a facebook group where we can actively interact with each other ask questions whenever there is a problem like that.


I wish theymos will give this idea a shot.

I dont really have an idea about that twitter of bitcointalk, thanks for the info.

Thats good but for me it will be better if theres a life in a group and everyone can discuss whenever the forum is having a problem.

what if the problem last longer like 1-2 days?

I dont know if this thing happen before but I think its not impossible?

Like what I've said on the question, for me it will be helpful for everyone to have an live conversation to anyone in the forum like a group chat in case of time's that the forum has a problem.

Lets say for example a group chat on telegram or even a social media group, where you can ask other forum members on whats happening in the forum.


For example: the last 3 hours forum ERROR
I think on the past 3 hours almost everyone encounter this problem and some of us are blind on what is happening.



If we have a group chat or social media group, everyone can be updated in a snap when there's a forum problem.

I know there will be some problem about the idea like:
1. spam on the said group chat
2. repetitive question
and so on...

But I think there will be a better community in here if we have this.

In some way this idea might decrease the spam question posted in this forum by whenever there is a legitimate newbie user and he is a member of the group he can ask on the group some of his/her question and get an answer immediately.

For me the best option for this idea will be a telegram group because:
1. It can hide everybodies privacy
2. There will be a quick response for everyone
3. Everyone can be updated instantly
4. Everyone can still talk and ask even the forum has problem


What do you guys think about this idea?
It would be better if the group will be manage by a strict moderator and most of the high rank member here in forum will participate.

Its so annoying right now.

Oooops... wait I just found something on "Reputation" section and this is what Im talking about.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4701035.0

Try to check how helpful it is.

Post like this must be "pinned" on bounty section like I said.

Sorry I forgot to mention that,
In my opinion I think most of the bounty hunter's dont bother their selves looking on trust rating of a user I notice that most of them are too lazy to open one's trust even though they see that there is negative because negative trust in not only about promoting of scam projects.

Also most of those bounty hunters dont even bother looking on other section of this forum which is sometimes they dont notice that they are already reported on meta. 

I think its not a hard task to create and edit a pinned post once in a while.

I know this but I think if we ignore this things that is happening right now it can break the image of bitcoin to other people day by day.
