Ulazimo u Šengen, a zasto moja tetka, prijateljica, sestricna, bratic ne bi mi mogli dati 10k eura (koje ne moraju prijaviti) da si ja uplatim na banku? Banka pita porijeklo, a ja kazem da sam dobio od rodbine i ako je potrebno dam ime tetke iz Rusije.
Zanima me da li je netko od vas se nasao u takvoj situaciji da je rekao da je naslijedio ili dobio novac od rodbine koja zivi van granica RH?

Ah, famozni Škorin gambit. Smiley

Ako si naslijedio, imaš rješenje o nasljeđivanju u kojem je to navedeno (i za koje ti je BTW javni bilježnik naplatio... pardon, to se zove "nagrada"... 30-200 kn, i zatim ako je nasljedstvo iznad 60k kn po 100 kn za svakih započetih 10k kn koje si naslijedio, bez obzira što ne mora nositi kofere s novcem, nego samo upisati brojku).

Ako si dobio kao poklon od rodbine, onda imaš darovni ugovor ovjeren kod javnog bilježnica, i platio si 4% poreza na darovano. Od tog poreza su jedino izuzeti darovi u novcu po vertikalnoj liniji (otac-sin).

Radije reci da si našao neko rijetko vino u podrumu, pa ga prodao frendu, i onda ste ga zajedno popili. Na prodaju imovine se ne plaća porez (jer si već platio porez kad si je stekao). To bi prije prošlo, valjda te neće tražiti da pokažeš bocu, a niti ne mogu očekivati od tebe da ćeš za neko prastaro vino čuvati račun (ali stavi da bude barem starije od 6 godina, zlu ne trebalo, jer je toliko porezna zastara). Wink

Postoji tu puno kombinacija i mogućnosti.
Evo, moja mama ima jako puno rodbine u Americi i svako malo netko dođe u Hrvatsku da posjeti nju i drugu rodbinu, barem jednom godišnje, i naravno uvijek joj ostave neki novac.
Što mene sprječava da kažem da sam lovu dobio od rođaka iz Amerike, kada nas je posjetio prošle godine, a eto, čovjek u međuvremenu umro i više to ne može potvrditi?  Grin
Vrijedi li i tu pravilo maksimalnog iznosa do 75 000 kn?
Da li možda trebam tražiti da mi rođak odmah na licu mjestu potpiše i potvrdu da mi je dao novac i koliko?
Ili tog rođaka trebam uzeti za ruku i odvesti javnom bilježniku da sastavimo darovni ugovor?
Mislim da bih toj rodbini bio jako čudan da to tražim i da bi me kod slijedećeg posjeta zaobišli u širokom luku a lovu dali nekom drugom  Grin Grin

It's a shame that Chelsea's current position is very difficult to qualify for the group. I think this season has been the worst season for chelsea. but actually chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the group stage. ie have to win twice against AC Milan. only then can chelsea escape. but it's a tough task. and I think AC Milan will beat Chelsea. so it can be said that chelsea has no hope of surviving in the champions league. Or it could be said that the hope is very slim. because after all beating AC Milan is very difficult for Chelsea now.

Even though their job may seem very difficult mathematically, there are always miracles. I don't think they will be weak against Milan. Chelsea is a team with a top quality squad and good players. They can beat Milan in both games. They can easily come out of the ordinary they are in right now. I think they will also win the Dinamo and Salzburg games. So there is a good chance that they will leave the group, in my opinion. If they can't get out of the group, we will watch in the Europa League.
Mathematically Chelsea still have a chance went to next round only if they can wins in the rest of matches but with their current condition which still adapt after changed manager it is hard for them to wins 4 matches in a row even more likely they will slipped especially against Milan that currently Milan was more stable although they just lose from Napoli in Serie A but Milan clearly better than Chelsea and actually Chelsea have decent squad to competed in this competition but because too many internal issues which makes this team cannot showed their best performance for each matches

I'm still pretty optimistic Chelsea will qualify from the group stage, maybe won't be the winners in Group E, but at least Chelsea can be runners-up.
Indeed, it seems that AC Milan has a pretty big chance as the team that is in the top position in Group E. But it could be a surprise when Chelsea
face AC Milan in the third match of the Champions League, indeed AC Milan is more favored, but don't forget Chelsea have players whose quality is
better than AC Milan. It all depends on the playing strategy that Graham Potter will use when facing AC Milan.

Indeed, Graham Potter's debut as Chelsea coach was less than satisfactory when Chelsea drew with Salzburg. But I'm sure Graham Potter will
improve his strategy when Chelsea face Crystal Palace, if Chelsea can beat Crystal Palace at least make the confidence of Chelsea players increase,
and Chelsea will be better prepared to face AC Milan in the Champions League. The conclusion depends on how quickly Graham Potter can adapt
at Chelsea and make Chelsea find their best game.

Chelsea already had two big setbacks in this group of the Champions League, against Dinamo and Salzburg, and their most difficult games against Milan are yet to come.
It seems to me that Chelsea was not fully ready to start this season, they got a new coach and they are not playing at the highest level yet.
However, they don't have much time left to prepare and if they fail to beat Milan they will be in very big trouble for the rest of the Champions League group stage and may not even qualify for the Champions League knockout stage.

You can see the odds for the winner of the UEFA Nations League here: http://sportstatist.com/who-will-win-uefa-nations-league-winner-betting-odds/

Interesting statistics. Bettors still believe much more in Denmark than in Croatia, even though Croatia beat both France and Denmark away from home in June, and now in the match with Denmark at home, the first place in the group is decided directly.
I wonder what chances they gave France before the games in June?  Grin
Probably better than Denmark and Croatia today  Cheesy

Denmark 8.50

Croatia 17.00
It is not the bettors who believe and set the odds, but the bookmakers, they are based primarily on statistics and the chances of teams to take first place in the group, which are higher in Denmark at the moment.
what's Interesting to me is how high the odds are for Croatia to win in their home stadium, they already beat them not so long ago 1-0 in Denmark, so 2.37 is pretty high for Croatia to win and betting on double chance in their favor seems like an easy bet.

For me, it is also strange that Croatia is given such a small chance to win against Denmark at home, after Croatia defeated both France and Denmark away from home in June.
Why is there so much distrust in the strength of the Croatian team, which is the current world runner-up?
If you ask me, this is currently one of the best bets offered and a good opportunity to make money if you believe in the quality of the Croatian national team.
Who is ready to bet on Croatia?  Grin

I doubt for now, ronaldo is really not playing well in the league competition. his performance has decreased drastically plus Ten Hag "Manchester United coach" does not place him as the main starter. this clearly makes the portugal fans have concerns about ronaldo, the only goal he scored was only from the penalty spot during the match against FC Sheriff in the Europa league competition. the rest, ronaldo does not contribute much to the premier league and European league competitions.

I doubt whether Fernando Santos will put him as the main starter in his core squad. obviously, this will have a big impact on the performance of the squad as a whole especially if ronaldo can't recover his form ahead of the world cup.

I am sure that his form will recover ahead of the world cup. Anyway, he will be an integral part of the squad and irrespective of whether he is in form or not, the opposing team will be majorly focusing on how to contain him. Now this presents an ideal opportunity to the other forwards. Either they need to make use of this and score goals by themselves, or need to divert the attention of opposition defenders (so that Ronaldo can score). Anyway, this is his last world cup and if Portugal can reach at least the semi-final stage, then it will be good.

I personally think that Portugal is a very good team even without Ronaldo and that they don't depend only on him.
After all, in today's modern football, one player cannot influence the result much by himself and the strength of the team is much more important.
Do you remember when Portugal became European champions a few years ago?
Due to Ronaldo's injury, Portugal played almost the entire final match against France without Ronaldo and eventually won without him and became the European champion.
Ronaldo is playing really bad at the moment and I don't think it's very certain that he will play for Portugal in every game from the start, just because of his reputation.

FIFA might have made their decision. But the Chileans are saying that they are done with FIFA and will now file an appeal with the CAS. It is getting really tiring now. Why can't these guys just accept the ruling and keep quiet? Less than two months to go for the kickoff and these losers are trying to disrupt the tournament. And since the FIFA appeals committee has found out that the appeal doesn't have any substance, I would recommend that Chile be deducted a few points for the next qualification cycle.
Surely this is the worst thing doing by Chileans because now time is running out, and they need to accept this decision for the sack of sports but as we know Latin America is also having many conflicts which are not easy to allow other country for having prestigious to play into this world cup as soccer is surely matter of life and death in this region with few years back we have a soccer player from Columbia just shot dead for putting ball into his own net during world cup match.

With this mentality we can understand Chileans are surely frustrated and trying their best for having any chance to be in this event which is now nothing for them even they are going into CAS with less than two months remaining and Ecuador is also settled to have their opening game against host nation. I agree, surely they deserve this punishment and having deduction in points could be good lesson for them and many others.

I don't understand why you think Chile should be punished? Based on what? Because they use legal means to appeal the decision they consider wrong?
From what I've read about the case, some new evidence has recently surfaced that didn't exist before, and Chile's representatives want all the new evidence to be considered and a just and fair decision made. I don't see anything wrong or punishable in that.
If Ecuador is guilty and they tried to cover up the truth, then they should absolutely be punished, even if it happened a day before the start of the World Cup.

Chelsea will exit from the group stage without getting to the next round because it looks as if they were not prepared for the Champions league this season,and despite the quality players that they signed,they are still unable to show people that they worth the money,so far,it's only Sterling that has showed that he is worth the money spent on him,because his getting goals.

I think the team is just struggling at the main time and it happens to every team once in a while so let us not be so quick to write them off already. They need a little more time, they have a new manager now who hopefully will help improve the squad and bring in new ideas and new strategies to winning games, I believe we will see the impact of these changes in the team very soon. They will come back stronger.
Currently chelsea is really in a period of adaptation again. like a newly formed team. because the new coach must have a different strategy and arrangement with the previous coach. but actually in the last match of chelsea against salzburg chelsea has started to show an improvement in its game. but unfortunately the opposing team's defense cannot be taken lightly. because Salzburg have a good defense. even when Salzburg against Milan ended in a draw. even though milan was in good form at that time.

Chelsea doesn't really have much time to prepare the team and make some big changes.
After two rounds, they are currently in the surprising last place in their Champions League group, and they have two very difficult games against Milan ahead of them.
If they don't win those two games, their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage of the Champions League will be very slim.
Given the strength and quality of the squad, I'm really surprised that Chelsea are doing so poorly in the Champions League.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 18, 2022, 11:28:31 AM
Croatia is actually still a very strong team. They have not only Modric, but many other good players. I know that there are also a few strong Croats in Italy. And what we must not forget is that Croatia was still the finalist at the 2018 World Cup. They lost that final against France without a chance, but they could have won against any other team in that tournament. They are not a favorite for the title, but an outsider. I think you should think of odds of around 12.0
Argentina should also show something now with Messi. Were in the final in 2014, but final places and 2nd places do not count in the sport.

As for Croatia, I completely agree with you. Apart from Modric, Croatia has several other outstanding players such as Kovacic at Chelsea, Perisic at Tottenham or Brozovic at Inter.
Croatia's success at the 2018 World Cup in Russia was not the result of luck or coincidence, but the great football tradition of this country, which was third in the world at the 1998 World Cup in France, and this year Croatia beat France and Denmark away in the League of Nations.
Croatia will not be among the main favorites of the competition either in Qatar, but it will be very difficult for all national teams to play with them.
This year, Messi probably has the last chance to win the world championship with Argentina, but the competition is very strong and it will be a very difficult task.

I am looking forward to the match between Inter Milan and Barcelona. As was previously known, this is the battle for 2nd place in the group. The number 4 Viktoria Pilzen does not play a significant role in this group, but they will also have no objective. Bayern have 6 points from 2 matches and seem to have already qualified for the next round, or very strange things have to happen. I think Barcelona is better than Barcelona at the moment. Barcelona could use some success again, especially in the Champions League.
Barcelona has indeed been better this season when compared to last season in terms of performance, so what must be in Barcelona at this time is to have the motivation to win against Inter Milan in the Champions League group to fight for second place. Because it is a very crucial struggle for Barcelona because they have rarely succeeded in the Champions League before.
The defeat of Bayern Munich became a valuable lesson for Barcelona, Xavi must motivate the Barcelona players to win from Inter. Barcelona must show the best performances in the UCL as they showed in La Liga, Xavi must prevent his team from dropping a lot of points in the UCL which makes it difficult for them to reach the knock-out round. Three points from Inter is very important for Barcelona to accompany Munich to go to the knock-out stage, because I believe Munich is one of the two clubs that will qualify for the next round.

Barcelona started very well in the Spanish championship and it is obvious that Xavi prepared his team very well and raised the level of Barcelona's game.
However, in the match against Bayern, it was seen that the Barcelona team needs a little more time to reach the level of the best European clubs.
In the first half, they were much better than Bayern, but they were not concrete and efficient enough in attack, and Bayern were much more concrete in the second half and eventually won.
Barcelona is playing very well at the moment and I think they have a very good chance against Inter, and those matches will decide who goes on to the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Couldn't this thing with Castillo and Ecuador have been solved earlier? I mean, I'm all for making the right choices and suspending the teams in case they are breaching the rules - but these decisions need to be made on time.

Imagine being a player for the Ecuador national team right now. It must be really stressful not knowing whether you'll be able to play or not.

I'd let them play now - but without Castillo if the allegations are true. Then I'd ban them from participation in the next qualifiers. Banning them weeks before the tournament doesn't seem like the right call to make.

This case has been talked about for a long time, but so far there has been no concrete evidence, at least as far as I understand.
It seems that the concrete evidence on the basis of which Chile appealed to FIFA has only recently come to light.
This was indeed a difficult situation for FIFA and they decided not to change anything and to maintain the status quo even though there is a very serious suspicion that everything is not regular in this case.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport will make a final decision, based on all the evidence and facts, and I hope that the decision will be made very soon so that in the event of a change in FIFA's decision, the other national team has enough time to prepare for participation in the World Cup.

OP, you need to prepare very seriously for any investment, not just bitcoin or crypto.
This means that you should analyze and understand the market very well, prepare an investment plan according to your capabilities and also have a very clear exit strategy.
It is very important to learn to control your emotions and to make decisions about your investment based on rational reflection and analysis and not based on fear or panic of possible loss of money.
Realistically, investing really isn't for everyone.

  • Ukoliko mu se svidi prijedlog drugog korisnika i ne predstavlja mu preveliki problem, dodat će ga kao novu značajku foruma.

Hopefully now this scandal will be put to an end. I was sad to see the Peru football association siding with Chile and joining the appeal process. Appeals committee has decided in favor of Ecuador. Chile and Peru should have backed out by now, but they have decided to take this to the next stage. Chilean officials are saying that they will take this matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). I am not sure about this. Can the CAS force FIFA to suspend Ecuador? If that is the case, then how can we say that FIFA is an autonomous body?

It is an embarrassing fact, not the claim that certainly has its foundation, but the fact of wanting to remove Ecuador from the World Cup in Qatar, and until now the other teams have had the decorum to leave the matter to those who are responsible, and the sanctions should be incurred at administrative levels, including individual ones, but Chile's premise of asking for Ecuador's position, due to that incident, really embarrassing!, that is, could have had the pertinent claim and wait for the decision, which by the way favors Ecuador.

I don't know if this topic is trend in other regions, but in these parts the news has taken on tones to mocking, many are expressed in Memes, such as Chile being the eliminated for the third time, for which such a thing is a record world or best guinnes:
https://media.tycsports.com/files/2022/09/16/479845/memes-chile_862x485.webp

Important: I do not join the mockery for the Chilean team, I think they had their right to claim, but they forgot or  was a lack of bureaucracy in putting  the request to remove Ecuador, on the other hand it reflects how fans take things nowadays and the serious media, because tycsports is not only a web medium but also a television medium that even includes radio stations.


FIFA has just published its decision on this case on its official website:
https://www.fifa.com/legal/media-releases/fifa-appeal-committee-passes-decision-on-eligibility-of-player-byron-david

As far as I understand, the Court of Arbitration for Sport is an independent body and has the power to overrule FIFA's decisions, and this has been confirmed by FIFA in its statement. I think it is not a bad idea to have such an independent body that can control the work of FIFA and correct their wrong decisions.
We know what the situation was before in FIFA when Blatter was president and suspected of corruption. Small nations have very little influence on FIFA's decisions and therefore it is good that they have the opportunity to challenge FIFA's decisions with the competent authority.

Well i guess it was getting more and more likely that this will happen in the last few months as it seemed that Roger Federer just could not seem to get fit and healthy anymore in the last year or so and there were always new issues coming up. The last news i heard from a few weeks ago was that they have found water in his knee. This could have been the last straw that made him announce his retirement.
Federer is old by sporting standard(41years), even without any health and fitness challenges, it is a ripe age for any successful sportsman or woman to retire from competitive sport. He has nothing else to prove and I as well as many others wish him well in any path he decides to take.

That is very sad news for the whole world of tennis as he was the best of all time for many fans and experts...
I love Federer, and I am happy to have witnessed the best of a legend like him.

What I like about his decision is that he did it without participating in Wimbledon or another big tournament. The reason is that this is really his character. He doesn't want to take away the stage from others for no reason. What if he participates in Wimbledon once more, gets beaten in the 3rd round and the whole tournament is about his goodbye instead of the players who actually should get the attention for their achievements during that tournament?
That is why I think it is a brilliant decision to say goodbye at the Laver Cup. Roger Federer is one of the hosts, there are no points for the ATP list and it is the perfect setup to allow for fans to celebrate his goodbye with him. Even if Roger loses early during the cup, it doesn't matter that much. Chapeau for that decision and to not just keep going and going to then use Wimbledon as final stage.

I agree, Federer acted very differently from, for example, Serena, who decided to say goodbye to the audience at the GS tournament in America.
In this way, Serena drew all the attention of the media and the audience to herself, although it was clear that she has a minor chance to win the tournament and that there are currently better tennis players than her.
I am sorry that for the last year Federer was injured and did not play in tournaments, and that we could not enjoy watching him on the tennis court.
The great tennis player and great gentleman is leaving.

Today the hearing is supposed to happen, that is, when people explain everything and questions are asked.

I'm not sure when the official answer will be given. That could be today or in a few days.

I don't think there's any chance that Italy or any other external team would qualify. The only possible outcome is for the matches played by Ecuador to be forfeited. In that case, Chile would classify.

As far as I know, it is extremely rare for the FIFA appeals committee to overturn a ruling by the FIFA disciplinary committee. And back in June 10, the disciplinary committee had ruled in favor of Ecuador. We can expect a verdict within this week itself (probably within the next 24 hours). The hearing is being conducted from Zurich by a 3-judge bench, and is done remotely. The problem is that the ruling may not be final. If either Chile or Ecuador lose, they can still make another appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

And FIFA made the final decision on this case.

''The FIFA Appeal Committee has rendered its decision on the appeals lodged by the Chilean Football Association (FFCH) and the Peruvian Football Association (FPF) against the decision issued by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee on the potential ineligibility of the player Byron David Castillo Segura with regard to his participation in eight qualifying matches of the national team of the Ecuadorian Football Association (FEF) in the preliminary competition of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.

Having analysed the submissions of all parties and after a hearing had been conducted, the Appeal Committee confirmed the decision of the Disciplinary Committee to close the proceedings initiated against the FEF. Amongst other considerations, it deemed that on the basis of the documents presented, the player was to be considered as holding permanent Ecuadorian nationality in accordance with art. 5 par. 1 of the FIFA Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes.

The findings of the decision passed by the Appeal Committee were notified to the parties concerned today. The present decision remains subject to an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.''


Therefore, this decision is not yet final and Peru can still appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. However, will this final decision be made in time, before the start of the world championship in Qatar?
This is a very unpleasant situation for Ecuador because it may happen that they go to Qatar and find out a few days before the start of the World Cup that they are banned from participating in the World Cup.
The question is whether any other national team can really replace Ecuador so quickly and how much it would affect the regularity of the world championship.
What do you think?

After the Champions League groups were determined, I expected this to be a very easy group for Chelsea and that they would easily win the first place in the group, as one of the main favorites of the entire Champions League.
Instead, Chelsea are playing very poorly and are currently last in the Group E.
Will Chelsea suffer the same fate as Barcelona last season, not to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League?
They are playing very badly at the moment and if they don't raise the level of their game and become a more efficient team in attack, and more concentrated in defence, this Champions League season will not end well for them.

I don't expect Chelsea to share the same fate with Barcelona's past season. I believe that there was an important level of improvement in their performance last night. I think that they were just unlucky about that match. It was Graham Potter's first match in the end and he started directly by a Champions League match. There is going to be a space of more than two weeks until the next group matches. This should be enough time for Chelsea to get better and ready for the rest of the matches.

They have two matches against Milan consecutively first. They can collect at least 4 points from these matches. After that they can defeat Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg both which would carry them easily to a safe point in the group. Maybe I'm being too positive already now but the things I saw last night were promising in my opinion.

Personally, it seems to me that Milan has shown the most in this group so far and that they are deservedly first in the group.
Chelsea expect two very tough games with them and the winner of those two games will be the winner of the group, and the loser will fight to the end for the second place in the group.
Chelsea is still not playing at the top level, that's why I give a slight advantage to Milan.
This will be a very uncertain group until the end.

1st winner
2nd winner and
3rd Winner.

Say your mind.
1st: England
2nd: Germany
3rd: Portugal

This is my list for the FIFA World Cup 2022. Germany plays well in my opinion, but they are missing something. That’s why I don’t think they’re going to win. My gut tells me england will win this year.  Smiley
You have a good list of candidates for the title but somehow I don't think Portugal will be able to go that far in the future, I personally see that England might just suffer the same fate as last Euro 2020 which was only runner up or maybe even lower later , for the Qatar world cup, I believe more that the young Spanish squad will be able to talk a lot later because so far the performance of Spain which is filled with the majority of young players looks quite potential, while for the championship of course Brazil and Germany are my choices to enter the final.

My prediction:
1st place: Brazil / Germany
2nd place: England or Spain
3rd place: France
My prediction is:
1st place: Spain/Germany
2nd place: France
3rd place: Brazil
Although Portugal as speculated will go far, I don't think they have as much quality as the Spanish, Brazilian or French sides. So many young players in current major leagues around the world come from these region and play fantastic football at the moment. Unless injuries or cases such as is the case of Ecuador right now, it would be tough to win sides packed with these stars.

Along with probably England and Argentina, these are probably the strongest teams of the world championship.
However, I still think that the main favorites for the world champion title are Brazil and France.
Experience teaches us that at every world championship there were a lot of surprises and unexpected results, so I am sure that we will see a lot of such unexpected results at this world championship as well.
Just remember Croatia 4 years ago, or South Korea in 2002  Grin

Benfica and Napoli performed very well earlier this season... To be honest I thought Juventus could beat Benfica, but they failed to do so at home... Most likely the return game will also be a close game... I think PSG and Benfica will be able to go on from this group as the strongest clubs, but Juventus will have a chance to fight for the chance to make it out of the group!

Juventus appeared so very disappointing at the start of this season.  Four defeats in a row clearly reap great criticism from the fans.  Allegri was in the spotlight for the disgraceful result.  Juventini's anger has been seen in various media, they want Allegri to leave.  In this case the President of Juventus must immediately take a stand, because their hopes of continuing to advance in the Champions League are very small, if they continue to show such a game.
Will Allegri be sacked? Or will they last until winter or for another season? And the result could be worse for Juventus. Benfica are not tired of creating chances, they are capable of scoring goals, once again the Portuguese team remains firmly established as the dark horse in the competition once again. In fact, Benfica could actually embarrass Juventus by scoring at least 3 or 4 more goals.

I'd actually be very surprised if that doesn't happen, and probably very soon.
Allegri is an old-fashioned coach who tries to achieve success with old ideas, but that no longer works in modern football.
Juve was very active in the football market and invested a lot in new players, but there are no results.
In both competitions, the Italian championship and the Champions League, Juve had a very poor start and it is obvious that there must be an urgent change.
Otherwise, Juve could suffer the fate of Barcelona from last season,  not do qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Your nickname, OP, made me smile. You are from Pakistan, right? And your question about surviving on this forum suggests that you are most likely not a newbie, but have had the experience of being banned from the forum. It's obvious from the nickname.  Grin
I don't know of any other forums where newbies come with similar questions. Survival on the forum, as it sounds.
I think that you have already created 4 accounts and are finally interested in the rules of the forum.
I may be wrong, but time will tell, but for now, I will show everyone the same newcomer from the Pakistani local section who received a ban three times. Furthermore, I hope you understand everything correctly.

Dear community

Hello community:


Hello community,


Hello community,

 Smiley

If nothing else, let's hope he finally understood  Grin
Your post really made me laugh.
In my life, I have been a member of many forums and you are really right, just to be a member of this forum, people fight with all means, and it almost becomes a matter of life and death for many  Grin
As far as I can see, even 3 years after being excluded from the forum, some are still fighting for membership in the forum, as if their lives depend on it.
On the other hand, it is an interesting phenomenon that there is actually less and less activity and active members on this forum.
Of course, we all know the reason why this is so, and it is obvious that we will see many more questions like this about merits and progress on this forum, even though this question has been answered many times.
Guys, if you want to get something from the community on this forum, then you have to give something first, you can't get something for nothing  Cheesy
