What you are telling is correct but this is not a big crime that it cannot be forgiven, Even you can see that other DT members have given me neutral after seeing my post record. Negative trust is what it is to control the spam and it is not that it should be permanent ban. I know that rules but even their is not strict rules that you cannot sell account. Even i support that it should not be encouraged as it is giving support to more scams.

That is why that i think that i should atleast get one chance to prove my innocence and get one chance to reconsider about this TAG.

That's a great ethic to have. I think this pretty much answers my question, thanks!

I don't think I ever added a bitcoin address to that account. If there was one can you let me know what it was? I'll look around to see if I can find it to sign a message.

Can't be the reason. Since I haven't done any copy & paste.

That's why I posted here, to get to know the reason.

Hey,

may I get the reason for getting this "Sorry soulofliberty, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com".

May I also know, which forum moderator has banned me?

Thank you. But still. Time goes by, but there is no reaction from the moderators.

That is, any competitor can be "removed" like this at the touch of a button and no one can do anything?

What use do people have for hoarding merit?

Any evidence for proving this conclusion ? We can see merits being spend by members here but there is n way to see how many smerits they have currently. Most of the members who wanted to cheat this merit system already spent their merits on alt accounts and then got caught. Genuine members who were awarding merit points to newbies have also spent most of their merit points (as evident from their posts in merit giveaway threads).

What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

I have mostly ruled out:

 - Removing signatures or sig ads globally.
 - Requiring payment to wear sig ads.
 - Banning account sales.

A couple of ideas that have been floating around in my head:

1. To attain ranks above Member, you'd have to earn some number of merit points. Merit points would be awarded in a monthly vote on best posts of the previous month, with various measures (TBD) to prevent gaming of the vote. Winning merit points might also come with a BTC prize.

2. Create or designate some sections as "serious discussion" sections, with no signatures. In those sections or maybe in different ones, also have poster restrictions such as Member rank or above only. And/or allow topic-creators to set these restrictions on their topics, similar to selfmod topics.

What do you think of these ideas, and what other ideas do people have?

I don't think there's much of an issue with people hoarding merit; it's giving it to their alt accounts that is going to be the big issue.

And who will decide is the sMerti hoarding is allowed in this case or not? Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this won't work, just trying to realize the whole system. From what I see the merit is required to up the account from the Jr and so on, for instance, if someone who holds X amount of sMerit will be deprived of it how this sMerit(free) should be allocated to the others?

Cause from what I see right now merit is kinda very valuable object which is needed for 80% of forum besides the hero/legendary and there is no mechanism to "mine" it because the amount of it will be just dropping down (50% system)

And do you also provide white supremacy speeches? Because I don't think that people would like to trust someone with nazi simbols on the thread subject as a manager....

Disclaimer: Sometimes european computers don't recognize special characters from other countries, so just in case; I'll screenshot what I'm seeing right now.

Halo, messages sent days ago, no reply. I followed signature steps and attached screenshot signature proof from some javascript litecoin wallet. Help!

Hey Guys,

The new merit system is not working properly and I think this can be quite dangerous for the quality of this forum.

Why? Simply because they are quite a lot very brilliant posts in this forum (especially in the local forums) which are not merited at all (not even 1 point). If you then see that they are a lot of free merit / scam threads this really dumps your motivation in creating serious content in this forum - cause its simply unfair.

Now consider there is a newbie who affords lot of time in creating some nice content in order to rank up, not merited at all. What do you think the motivation of this guy is going? Do you think he is gonna try this again?

So why don't we think about an demerit system?

Why don't we demerit for spam, off topic, insults or scam attempts and increase thereby the quality of this forum?

If their would be somehow a punishment for bad quality post this would really motivate people to increase their forum behavior.

I am exited how you think about that.

Are you able to see my account history?

Canyou tell me if it shows that someone changed my password?

I never changed my password ever since I created my account.

My password was something exactly like this: doesun20

It's not super weak, but it's not super strong. I just didn't think people would want to hack a forum account!

I never was phished, didn't have malware. I'm really nervous because I don't know if they hacked my end or bitcointalk's
