Sorry, But can someone make sure I signed this message correctly before I send a Pm to Cyrus.
Don't forget to include a link to the unedited post that contains the addy. |

Not sure if anyone has requested this or not before, but I think we should consider adding a small merit requirement to become a Junior Member. Even if it was just a one merit requirement I think it would help a lot, because far too many spammers and spambots are getting the rank and once they hit that they can't be nuked. We're getting hit by a lot of these 'haiku' bots as people keep calling them (though I think they're more like doge bots: riveting business, spotless design, much wow):
....snip.....
Those are all Junior Members and their posts all follow the same format. There's also hundreds of them. They should be nuked as deleting their posts one by one is incredibly time consuming. Alternatively, allowing Globals or something to nuke Juniors would also help.
I would fully support that, things are really out of hand. |

I have seen many post quoting forum rules that are incomplete or outright false. Some claim you are ban evading for making a new account to appeal a ban and use a, this is not true as long as you follow the rule of :The only exception is creating a thread in Meta about your ban."
Yes, it is incomplete but he was talking about the part that is relevant to this conversation. I don't agree but the point he was making is that he thinks that changing the wording of the ban notification would advantage the banned person in not getting banned again if they did break the ban evasion rule. Making a tempory account to appeal the ban just isn't relevant to that conversation so I think you are being a bit unreasonable to say that is is wrong. My point is this: Post half of a rule and it gets parroted all over the forum and is stated as fact, causing confusion for others that won't read forum rules for themselves. As stated earlier, once attention is brought, I remove the rating. I have replied to his PM and the rating will be removed. I don't see how that is unreasonable. |

imo, specifying the exact ban reason on the notification would only make it worst
whoever gets perma banned, by rules, is not allowed to create another new account
but by knowing the exact banning reason, that user will learn, adapt and create new account
he gets smarter, in a bad sense, then keep doing what he was doing before but with better technique
This is false. See my post above or the rules: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0The rule says: 25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed. How is Thirdspace wrong? *facepalm* imo, specifying the exact ban reason on the notification would only make it worst
whoever gets perma banned, by rules, is not allowed to create another new account
but by knowing the exact banning reason, that user will learn, adapt and create new account
he gets smarter, in a bad sense, then keep doing what he was doing before but with better technique
That is absolutely false, please read the rules, and a permanent ban is forever, no new accounts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.025. If you get banned (temporary or permanently) and create a new account to continue posting / sending PMs, it's considered ban evasion. The only exception is creating a thread in Meta about your ban.

All latecomers will have the same issue unless they change this features, I got here to promote my website but after seeing a good project from the Ico and those high-rank campaigner making a good profit I become interested but it seems I will never reach that higher rank.
So, by not having XXX000 merits, you can't post or participate in the forum?  If you can't make decent posts then live with the lower rank. It's not the end of the world. |

Yes, I hope we can or they can be more precise about banning method, like the intentional and unintentional post because some people are just trying to help and answering someone's question but they didn't know they are already making mistakes, that's is why I appreciate a warning email attached with the activity you made and the rules it violates, a bot could be helpful.
Making the system work with bot or person could lead to a financial problem like the salary of people who maintain the system, but I think it is time to upgrade the system wherein there will be a small fee for creating an account since I guess donations are not enough... this is to lessen people who freely create account just to spam and give wrong feedback to people...
The rules are posted in a very easy to find spot but is seems few ever read them. Reading said rules would cut out uninformed "advice" on several threads unless of course they post for the campaigns. This forum is self sustaining and does not need donations. |

Why do you try and derail every thread into an off-topic discussion about DT? Why do you let him derail the thread?  Ignore works wonders. |

I've posted my ETH Address here. Should I try signing it? That post in only a couple months old, it probably won't be accepted as proof. |

FROM : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0theymos Administrator Legendary Activity: 3080 Merit: 3253 View Profile Personal Message (Offline) Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords March 02, 2014, 08:45:09 PM +Merit #1 If you use any sort of Google email service, then the password recovery email will go to your spam folder. If you want us to recover a hacked/lost account, you need to prove that you own it. Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile.I very rarely recover accounts if you can't prove ownership as described above. There are alternative ways of proving ownership, but they take too much time. If I point you to this thread, you can't prove ownership properly, and then I ignore your future PMs, this means that I'm not going to recover your account. Create a new one. Send one PM to Cyrus. If Cyrus doesn't respond after two weeks, you can try sending a PM to me instead. When sending a PM, use a template like this: Quote -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>. -----BEGIN SIGNATURE----- <insert address here> <insert signature here> -----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: ... OR I sent that address to someone in a PM with PM ID#... All required info must be in one PM. Do not create your temporary account using the same email address you want for the hacked/lost account. No two accounts can have the same email address. |

snip..... This is a struggle. .......snip
What is the "struggle"? Rank does not impede anyone from meaningful forum participation in the slightest. |

Jesus Christ! Another topic about the Merit system...
My sentiments.........exactly. |

Hi friend
I open your account link and check your recent post.
you get banned because you participated in Airdrop Thread
Airdrop and giveaway threads are not allow on Bitcointalk forum
Those participated in these threads will be banned. First time is 7 days, next will be 14 days....
Next time you can participate in airdrop threads but do not reply on them even though it is a requirement
Permaban is forever, there is no "next time." Educate yourself on forum rules before handing out bad advice. |

NO chance for your friend's account will get unbanned mods only ban accounts when there is significant proof the user has broken rules, specially copy-paste/plagiarism someone reported him, check this post regarding your friend's account Soo sad 😢 the account is already member from today bitcointalk forum is very difficult to rank up even in member rank you need 10 merit to become member merit is very difficult to find even if you post a constructive words only few people are giving them thats why im soo sad what my friend's did. What if sir he pay btc can possible unbanned him ? Nope. |

So later if I want to copy the article from another website, I just need to write the source ?
Yes whatever forum you go to to post that is what you need to do. Anytime you are using source materials you should be quoting the source, especially when you are copying word for word. You the person are banned from posting on this Forum outside of Meta, *in your appeal thread*. This means you can not create another account and pick up shit posting your plagiarism here under a new account. Fixed for accuracy. |
