I have combined my own suggestion as well as sncc's and modified grue's script to implement them.

This is the result:
Loading image...

The available sMerit points are shown. 'Available' is a link which opens the default https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;msg=30923337 (with the corresponding msg) in a new window to keep the original functionality.
As an FYI, if you are a merit source, this will not account for your source merit, and will only display your accumulated sMerit.

This is a script I will be using. I like not having to deal with a popup every time I give merit.

I would like the ability to click on a link on a post that starts a PM to the author of the post that says:

Hi [username],

Regarding [link to post]

One click links on a post to view a person's post history and thread creation history would also be nice. As would a one click link to a user's gettopics link from a post.

I strongly prefer something that can be run from greesemonkey.

Thanks.

This news peace actually was very weird for me, I cant seem to see the logic of Irans attack. They say that this is because they want the sanctions to be lifted, i honestly cant see how this can help.
The Iran government has recently threatened to carry out something very similar in recent months, and has made these threats multiple times.

The logic of how this would get the US to lift sanctions is these attacks could disrupt the global economy by preventing oil from passing through the area of the attacks, increasing oil prices. If the US wants to be able to have oil resume safely passing through the area, it will need to lift sanctions. The theory is that Iran is basically using extortion with actual and the threat of further violence/property damage if sanctions are not lifted.

I am not sure that post was even on topic for the thread it was posted in.

My issue with the post is it was posted as text without any kind of attribution. In my experience, most memes are shared as pictures so they can be quickly shared. Most bounty campaigns have minimum post length requirements and posting the post as a picture would not get the OP credit for the post. Attributing the post as a meme might otherwise disqualify the OP from receiving credit if his posts were looked at closely. The other post, posted a few hours earlier very clearly indicated the writing was not his.

Every lender has the right to put his/her/their terms. It's up to them if the no collateral loan is worth the risk of getting scammed, rather than trust-farming (what I believe you are suggesting here).
Right, lenders have the right to lend on their own terms as they wish.

The point I was making is that the OPs loan request is not automatically a scam attempt on its face. If someone lends to him, the OP may not repay the loan. But it is not a foregone conclusion that he will run away with whatever money he receives.

Get back in your cave QS, default trust decisions don’t concern you any more.
here is another example from another lender
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg51396967#msg51396967

There are plenty of examples of people in similar situations as the OP repaying loans similar to what the OP is asking for.

This is in no way an appropriate use of the trust system. The changes to the trust system results in your abuse not having the same impact as before, but this is still abuse.

I don’t care if it’s a Hero Member, I’m tagging it. If anything it’s more likely somebody will loan him the money because he’s a Hero so as DT1 I owe it to the community to make them aware.

No collateral loan request = Scam potential.
A loan request is not automatically a scam attempt. The scam attempts that are frequently seen here are those made by throwaway accounts.

It may or may not be a good idea to lend to the OP, that is up to potential lenders. There are plenty of people who have received no collateral loans recently.

Also, in general, people asking for loans that warrant a negative rating are typically given the opportunity to first close their thread or offer collateral, or provide a reason why they are not attempting to scam.

I’ll change it to neutral if he locks the thread. He has no positive trust & it’s not a highly respected account so I fail to see why he thinks he can get a loan with no collateral.
Here is an example of someone receiving a loan with nearly zero trading history

Hi DireWolfM14! Smiley

Username: Asu
Loan Amount: 0.07 BTC
Purpose: Trading
Collateral: None
Repayment date: July 7, 2019
Repayment Amount: 0.075 BTC
Funding Address: 1Asu1mGNkLctuTmCebzwPpdRfMemZzobWA

Hi asu,
Thanks for the loan request, I just sent the funds to your binance address.  Thanks for signed message you sent via PM, that helps.  

Please send your payment to this address: 3MiRqZZ3y1dNqWqi4e1jkSYYPprTzns41b

Received it!

Thank you DireWolfM14!

Paying my loan today!
As discussed via PM you granted me to have 1% interest if I paid today for a week loan.

Txid:
795daecfe5a20d64bd5961cea8abc57dc4dc72498f5efd523f467bf849cfc47c

Until my next loan again Dire! Thank yah Kiss

The loan was repaid. I wouldn’t personally have lent to either this person or the OP, but I am more conservative as to who I am willing to trust.

It would be insane to trust someone because they are “respected”.

100% inappropriate. The OP of the thread is not posting from a newbie account/throwaway account.

If someone decides that guy is a low risk they may decide to lend to him. I’ve seen others receive no collateral loans.

He may it may not be untrustworthy for other reasons but the loan request is not appropriate.

Roll Eyes

He does a pretty good job of keeping his addresses separated. Even if his wallet was hacked, the connection would still exist as it would show the person has the private keys on the same computer even if in different wallet files.

I strongly disagree with your characterization of any of my accusations. 

You're infamous for doing this shit over the years. Every little (or big) butthurt leads to a frivolous accusation of some sort. You seem to be unable to accept being wrong or being rejected like a properly-functioning human should.
None of my accusations are frivolous.

You are a liar and are intentionally presenting mischaracterized and inaccurate information in the OP. 
1193  Economy / Reputation / Re: Quickseller is a dangerous person to deal with - avoid on: June 16, 2019, 11:43:32 PM
I get it, you don't like that I am calling out Hhampuz for stealing from BestMixer. If Hhampuz were to be labeled a scammer (rightfully so), your earnings from your signature campaign would likely stop. I am sure you don't like actual scammers, but when calling out a scammer means you lose out on income, you are more than willing to put pressure on the person to stop calling out the scammer.

What bothers me is the fact that you frequently engage in yellow journalism when writing up your "accusations." They are usually devoid of actual substance and are presented in a way to maximize sensationalism. A prime example of this is what you just mentioned above. You have zero concrete evidence of what actually happened and are making accusations purely based on speculation.
I strongly disagree with your characterization of any of my accusations. 

In regards to the Hhampuz accusation, I believe the evidence is very solid. The existence of the loan from Darkstar_ should eliminate any reasonable doubt as to if the money was stolen or not. I believe he is being protected because of who he is associated with, not based on the merits. I believe any the "possible" explanations his friends have posted are excuses not to call him a scammer -- if Hhampuz wanted to go on the record to give some kind of explanation as to what happened, one of the "possible" explanations would perhaps be sufficient to create reasonable doubt, but he has not given any explanation. Another one of his campaigns shut down not long after the BestMixer campaign was shut down, and the owner of that site confirmed receipt of the excess money, so I don't think it is reasonable to say the alligation is so ludicrous to Hhampuz that it does not even deserve to be acknowledged. Obviously, if evidence was later found that contradicted Hhampuz's explanation, it would be clear he is a liar, and it would be more clear the money was in fact stolen from BestMixer.

If I see someone doing something they shouldn't be doing, or doing something unethical, I am not going to stay silent just because they are powerful.   
1194  Economy / Reputation / Re: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source on: June 16, 2019, 11:28:00 PM
I recently declined to give bibop555 merit because his post history is nearly entirely made up of one liners when I checked yesterday.

Absent his spammy post history I probably would have given one of his posts merit:
Re: 51% attack on Bitcoin

He also submitted Random number that did generate some responses.

I will leave this here in case anyone else wants to review his submission and award him merit. I told him I would not give him any because of his post history.

I also strongly suspect it was sold along with one of its twitter accounts. It was perhaps sold to someone else who can speak similar languages, possibly someone the original owner knew via posting in a local section.

examplens also sent merit to loughlin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3168503.msg32826153#msg32826153

In Jan 2017, examplens enrolled in a signature campaign with the address 15QLwhoYgaVt7nMUm5NCV1Z13VCqD12x9f and roomfirst (UID 904327) enrolled in the same campaign with the same address. roomfirst has negative trust from yahoo62278 for cheating a twitter campaign (I have not reviewed the reference). Also, I think there is a high probability that examplens is a sold account (see above PW changes) as of Dec 2017, so it is probably unfair to punish him for this.

The only merit loughlin received was from examplens
1198  Other / Meta / Re: Why doesnt this forum have adsense? on: June 16, 2019, 07:49:27 PM
Don't quote me on it, but I'd assume it's a mix of wanting to control what sort of ads appear on the site as well as trying to avoid the egregious amounts of user tracking Google (and other big tech companies) employs. While the login captcha probably also collects data, it isn't on every single page so (hopefully) the damage to user privacy is minimal.
I believe this is it. Especially the wanting to control what is being advertised here.

In the past (and probably currently) there have been many scam sites that have advertised on adsense, and the damage would be very large on here if a scam site were to get ads placed on the forum. In the past, a small number of scam sites have slipped through the cracks and purchased advertising here, however theymos was able to quickly take them down and warn users about the scam. This would be much more difficult with adsense.
