The DdmrDdmr's "Bitcointalk merit Dashboard" was already suggested by @Lafu. It is why I suggested this one because, in the Title 4 in the thread, you will find the "Merit per post  Ratio", a different approach.


You will see a conversation we had about what's the most merited board if you read the whole thread.

You can search for this information also in here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4730614.msg42749694#msg42749694

¡¡Hola!! Efectivamente, como te indica @Instely, varios miembros del foro tenemos un proyecto llamado FittoTalk (link: https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php?). La idea del mismo es ayudar a usuarios de diferentes lenguas maternas a expresarse en inglés, así como a traducir algunos de sus artículos y que puedan colocarlos en este foro. 

Estaría padrísimo tenerte en él, ¡¡seguro serías de enorme ayuda!!

¡¡Te extiendo igualmente la invitación!!

I am not going to pray, but I can give you some recommendations based on my own experience.

 I've been a rescuer from the last 4 years and lived some similar situation (earthquake) in Mexico too, the last year. So, I have some recommendations for you to read, just in case:

1.- Be careful with the installations: both gas and light might be revised.
2.- Do not trust any structure. A lot of buildings fall after a couple of days, because of the new little earthquakes or rain, or a simple truck passing too close. So, do not trust them, take a look of them, any crack should be taken under consideration, but neither panic, just ask the authorities to take a look if you see anything suspicious.
3.- Keep a  security bag with you with those objects: your personal documentation, a lamp, face masks, a first aid kit and some batteries, a cell phone, a radio, any medication you take, or someone closed to you, must be on the bag, some clothes, etc.
4.- Never never give medical help to someone if you don't know what to do. But, of course, if somebody is in peril (for instance, something is about to fall on his/her head, well, just try to keep them safe until the help arrives).
5.- Everyone wants to help when a situation like this came. I get it. But try to not interfere with the emergency personnel or the professional rescuers. This is annoying when you arrive at some place and are unable to work because of the people "trying to help". Just listen to the commands of the people. If you need to pray, then pray, but away from the emergency zone. Stay home if yours is secure, always with your security bag closed to you.
6.- Do not spread the unconfirmed news. THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. Always, when there is a tragedy, the most common situation is to receive, as rescuers, tons of false alarms, because the people are too scared. But it always makes the rescuers lose too much time, so, please, do not spread, under any circumstance, a new or any kind of information you just can't corroborate.
7.- Help others if you are calmed. If you can, just help the people around you, by sharing news, by sharing blankets, by just smiling. Just spread the calm. If you are too nervous, then just don't spread your panic.
8.- Everyone can help but you don't need to be a hero. By giving someone homeless a place to stay or a tent, or a single blanket, even a sandwich. That's helping. Playing a hero in such a situation is something to avoid.
9.- Be careful with the drinking water. When an earthquake shakes the earth, it is kind of common for the water table to suffer a little variation. This can mix the potable water with the residual one, and that's why, after one, it is kind of common that an outbreak of cholera, for instance, appears. So be careful, and try to drink only bottled water for a while.


Well, those are, from my perspective and experience, the most important points coming to my mind. If I remember something else, I will EDIT the post.
Be safe, people.

Wish you the best.


(I've also written this on the FTT project: https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php?topic=221.msg888#msg888)

OP, sorry for going a little off-topic, but I will come back into topic again soon, for this is a great example of how important a posting history is.

Thank you for giving my freedom back?
My facepalm disorder is now chronic...

Well, I think it is better for you to say that I am already a great user, for, as you unnecessarily told to the people, I run your account from January to August, as well as joined the Ftt project and other passionate debates in here (and earned more than a hundred merits under your name).

Now, coming back on-topic, this is an example of why the posting history is so important. By every single post you make, you build an identity in here, a reputation, also. This dramatic case illustrates how different two people can be while running an account. You can check the post history of the Seoincorporation account from January to August, and you will meet me; you can check it now and you will meet him. Each one of us has different interests here in the forum: I was concerned about the forum's health and he's concerned about technical issues, and that's nice.
For me, it was great to be introduced into the forum, and yet, this is part of who I am in here, all the hundreds of posts I made in this period, all the conversations we had under the Seoincorporation name. I can't have it on my actual posting history, and I wish. So, if I could delete it, even when I committed some mistakes, of course, I just wouldn't.
Yes, your posting history can drive away the merits from you, but everyone is entitled to have some mistakes in his posting history, as well as some evolution. Everyone is entitled to change and grow-up, that's why I appreciate seeing the whole picture when looking into a profile.

Jajaja yo sólo hoy caminé 18 kilómetros, sin contar el deambular por la casa!! Pues sí, hay que mirar esas app, que no viene mal minar criptos mientras se pone una en forma. Finalmente la comunidad cripto podría acabar siendo la más fit del mundo 

 No sé si alguno de ustedes conoce algunas de estas plataformas. Yo, como suelo caminar muchísimo, estaba buscando entre mis posibilidades cómo obtener una aplicación que contara mis pasos y ¡¡que me encuentro con estas!!

Resulta que existen algunas app que sencillamente te pagan por caminar. Hasta la fecha, he podido ver que hay al menos dos:
- Sweatcoin, https://sweatco.in/, que, desgraciadamente, sólo está en US y en UK, pero que esperemos llegue pronto a otros países y que se basa precisamente en pagos por los pasos que vas dando. Puedes generar tanto cash como Seatcoins con las que comprarás cosas como smartwatch, tenis para correr, y un largo etcétera.

- Bitwalk, https://www.bitwalk.net/, es básicamente lo mismo: te generará BWs sencillamente por recorrer buenas distancias. (más información aquí https://www.criptonoticias.com/aplicaciones/bitwalking-aplicacion-permite-generar-criptomonedas-caminar/)

Lo que no me queda muy claro es cómo minas las monedas. En Bitwalking, aparentemente, cada uno de los pasos es validado y, finalizado el chequeo, se realiza un recuento y con ello se te asignan monedas. ¿Te quemarán el cel? Un articulo de Medium habla al respecto, está en inglés: https://medium.com/@Bitwalking/bitwalking-steps-validation-and-currency-mining-d5d27a5c8e3c


Deseando que estas aplicaciones se extiendan a otros países para probarlas. Con lo que yo camino, ya sería millonaria  

Funniest thing ever, I don't understand how @NadiaHel or I ended in this conversation, of course, for some personal reasons. But, in order to farm any account, you need some merit-transaction, I think.
Whatever, man, if you have some bipolar disorder, please, place your controversial feelings into the right Board (EDIT, reputation).


Totally what I was trying to say. To me, the post history is just a great way of taking a look at the normal behaviour and to detect plagiarism. Of course, people can change, and that's awesome, but to have some references is always nice. Also, I don't believe that, if you make a great post after a lot of crap just because you need a merit to continue crapping, you deserve anything, because of the whole point of the new merit implementation: to reduce spam. Well, just from my perspective, I prefer to merit a common attitude.

That's the central problem. They can just create a thread (plagiarized) and, after receiving the merit, erase the thread and continue with their personal spamming preferences (like in the example I shared).


Yes, I guess the people are doing anything to get their very first merit and be able to continue "working" in here. The example I've shared is more or less, in a resume, a Spanish-native sending PM's to other Spaniards with the goal of earning a merit by a plagiarized post, a post that, obviously, he erased after receiving his merit.
The sad part, from my perspective, is that we are seeing how any single tool is being used to continue spamming, from the erasing tool to the PM one. The worst part: thee are getting what they want, I've seen a lot of 1 merited-forever-juniors incoming, and, I bet, mostly all of them are going to continue with their spam activities.

Maybe there is some stats or something to look into and see how right I am, maybe I'm wrong (and I would be very happy if that happens, by the way).

And that's good. Imagine if everyone took this clown seriously. The US citizens choose their president in a "Reality-show" mindset, as well as they are becoming a "reality-show" people. I think that, probably, the influence of the Kardashians are harming too much their culture.
Hilarious? Maybe. Dangerous? Sure.

Well, as long as they don't turn back to their spammy activities after having their merit, that's not a bad idea at all, but honestly, I doubt it.
The fact is that, if you've been a spammer for months now and you delete all your spammy activity in order to get some recognition for a 10 minutes-effort, it doesn't seem legit to me, and also, looks like quite against the spirit of the new implementation.
But whatever, the point is: if you change your attitude then, please, keep the new one for good.

I've seen many new one-merited Jr Members, some of them even underserved. For instance, I received a PM yesterday begging for merits with a link to a plagiarized thread as the one the user thought to be meritable. Sadly, he has been merited now, and the plagiarized post deleted:


That's what many are doing. Just to plagiarize a post and then, after obtaining their merit, deleting it. So, if we don' t have their previous activity to judge the natural behaviour, how are we going to suspect of the new threads they make? Do not forget that many people are committing plagiarism from translations, meaning, using an article in their own language as a source and then google to make a translation. This is hard to detect, so the context seems pretty important to me, though.

Of course, the idoneous situation is for them to forget about being spammers and to become useful people in here. But... isn't it quite utopic? I hope some will do this, but I honestly doubt it to become the general behaviour.

OP, as you can see taking a look at some of the quotes in here, the biggest problem is ignorance.
Nobody should be judged by the personal beliefs, but by the acts he/she makes. But, you know, the people are used to believe what the mainstream media is vomiting into their minds.

Well, you can't. The only option for you to take is just to erase all your posts and leave. You can also change your password and forget it. After a while of not using it, probably the account will be blocked for security purposes.

Well, probably it is just another new way of addiction. I mean: in this abstract world, relationships are now working as a kind of pathological-video-game, where everybody needs public recognition in order to feed their ego. Many people have fallen in the "like" trap, as the only way of looking at themselves as someone "successful". The problem behind that is precisely what this "success" implies: a fallacy. There is no real success behind a screen, but on every single act, you do in your life. So, maybe, to be hidden behind the likes you receive every single day is just another way of running from your personal frustrations.

Now, this "cyberlife" can also be seen as a way of control. However it can be looked like just an entertainment, or, as many people claim: " a way of communication", or "a tool", I think this is far more complicated than this: if you convince the people to share everything they do, probably you have all the power you need in your hands: sensible information. Facebook, many times, has been accused of using algorithms to get the people depressed, for instance. Why? because it is better for any business to maintain the people depressed, they will buy whatever shit you offer just with the hope of feeling better.

So... the psychology behind the like, and coming back to your central question, is an addiction, I think. Facebook is working as a new and great necessity for people to feel recognized, to feel a part of something, and, at the same time, it is being used to manipulate the people into a new way of thinking, into a new way of necessity, of shopping, of having a single opinion. It is just the perfect "social mind shaper", and a huge addiction.

Gracias, gracias. Primero por corregirme (leí mal las normas y me dejé llevar por la emoción y segundo por decirme los datos de la imagen, no me había fijado ni en los metadatos (hoy no es mi día!!).
Pues sí, meritaste muy rápido mi terquedad pero bueno, me esforzaré más jajaa.
Un saludo

Just one clarification: I was talking about the Bitcoin Discussion board, not the Meta one, as an answer to @joerogers8 quote.

¡¡Hoy hay excepción!! mira las normas completas  :

EDIT: No, de hecho, tienes toda la razón, la cagué, porque, como en las leyes de la robótica, estoy contradiciendo la primera ley: "1: elige sólo una pregunta" jajaja...
Bueno, borraré el post raro, a espera de una buena compilación de los mismos, me emocionó la idea  

Madre mía, ¡¡qué problemas de seguridad y salud no observo!!
- El anclaje que está colocando no está sujeto a ninguna superficie dura, como roca, ni tiene placa, ya sea hipóxica o de cualquier otro tipo.
- Utiliza un nudo de pescador simple para un anclaje de seguridad.
- La cuerda no es la indicada.
- No lleva la ropa adecuada tampoco: ni casco, ni guantes, ni lentes de seguridad, ni arnés, y, aunque no se aprecian bien las botas, apuesto a que no son de seguridad.
- La excavadora está en una superficie blanda a poca distancia de seguridad (lo mínimo son 15 metros en zonas con posibles deslaves y 5 en zonas rocosas), y su anclaje muy en el borde, es decir, que se le puede ir al señor encima en cuestión de segundos.
Y se pueden aventurar muchas más cosas, pero el tamaño de la imagen no permite percibir los detalles, así que sólo especularé:
- No veo contención de ningún tipo a los materiales extraídos en superficie, por lo que, en cualquier momento, podría ser sepultado el hombre.
- No se ve ningún compañero monitoreando la situación ni asegurando al personal.

etc...etc...etc

Curiosidad: ¿de dónde sacaste esa imagen?

Thanks for that piece of advice, you're right, there is no rush.


Sounds kind of utopic, but it would be awesome if we decide to join forces and work together. Another solution can be just to stop counting the activity on that board, though. Serious Discussion is a great example of what happens on the boards when signatures and post counting are disabled: healthy conversations taking place and some good ideas floating around.

I don't want to sound dramatic but, honestly, I'm kind of scare of giving someone the very first merit now. A lot of users, I suspect, are creating new accounts so their shitty-post-history can't be seen and the first merit easy to get. I'm afraid that this is happening too much, so the way back to their scammy-fest will be easier to achieve...
