I think its just fine. The discussions posted there are not really too off-topic for the section. But again, if you dig very deep you will probably find a few posts or a thread or two that are not supposedly meant to be posted there but that is more than normal for me seeing the current situation of spam in the forum. Not every person cares about the section they are posting their stuff, and by that I mean the spammers, who are the reason behind every second discussion in the Meta section these days. But, that being too little compared to other sections of the forum, I think is bearable. A discussion as long as is not promoting something or is extremely off-topic is just fine to be posted in that section, IMO.

I find it highly annoying that this merit system is still around.
And I find it utterly surprising that people like you are still around.  You should have left the forum right after the day the system (Merit system) was introduced, because such posts or complains won't make it easier for you guys, and it won't bring back the days when you would earn bucks for posting shit in almost every corner of this forum without anyone questioning you. No one is questioning you today as well, but the system itself is a slap on your face, and the reaction for that is quite clear to everyone right now. |

That is not a solution to this. Assuming they have high ranked accounts as well from the past, they can easily bypass 1 merit limit to reach the next level.
I disagree. I think requiring at least one merit requirement will go a long way to curbing bots and farmers from ranking up to Junior. Besides, if someone was abusing their merit in this way it would become very easy to spot the abuse once they started only meriting newbies or blatant bots with crap posts. Your merit source doesn't last long either and they'll soon run out, but I still think it will be more of a giveaway if they start meriting their own accounts rather than a hindrance. You have all the rights to disagree. My point was that people with hundreds or thousands of accounts having Member or higher ranks won't really let a simple step of 1 merit requirement completely stop them from doing all this. And, I don't really think they will get a lot of attention if every time they use a different account created in a different date for meriting each of their new accounts. I say that because I know or I can assume how large their collections can be. There should probably be something more practical to the cause, that should stop this for good, and I know it is not a piece of cake to come up with something that can tackle such actions, but there is no other choice. It's one of the better options we have, but without other suggestions I don't think you should shoot it down. That is true. I shouldn't have said that if I wasn't proposing a solution myself. But I just believe we can partly stop this with that, and that is why I said there should be something more aggressive than that to kill the roots, at least for a while. |

Then why theymos is still not implementing the 1 merit to achieve Jr. Member. If I am not mistaken, this has been talked about from the thread created by yahoo.

Not really sure about the reporting-based boards, but merit-based boards sounds like a very good idea to me.
The boards should be visible to everyone, but only people with required merit count should be able to post new threads or participate in discussions. In that way, the genuine new members would have the chance to read and learn the things in there, or maybe get some motivation from the discussions of that board, and then try to earn their place in that board by becoming more and more constructive for the community.

All that will be needed is for the whole crypto market to think in one way and you'll be good to go.
That would never happen! The whole community can never think in one way, because there are people with different mindsets, and different theories about every other thing. Every other person have a hold on their Bitcoins for a very different reason, and they act according to that when they see a situation. And, there are people with very strong, manipulative minds who know exactly what to do to make a whole big part of the community to react as per their wishes, and they succeed, most of the times. They simply manipulate the people, make them feel the fear of losing, and the people are most of the times in fear so they act to it, and boom! we get a situation again. That is how it works, and that is how it will, in future too. |

Found some more. 1. Hpaqlmkp His post history: 
2. Apkliqpkh His post history: 
3. styyipoio His post history:  The first two accounts have only a difference of 5 user accounts between them if we see their UIDs. User: Hpaqlmkp - UID: 2325691 User: Apkliqpkh - UID: 2325685 And, the accounts are mostly named with random alphabets and in some cases mixed up with letters. Someone or maybe some people are creating random accounts in a sequence to do all this, although the reason is none understandable. |

Of course you can post in any local board if you know the language. You can only broaden your availability if you have a wide range of languages in your reach as it is against the rules to use translators to post in local boards. 27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

In most case less color will look better (more elegance/professional) even if it only 1 or 2 difference, but since you write that you need a logo with at least 2/3 main color, so most of the participants follow that guideline.
Afterall this is your decision and your project, but if you have other competition better not put any guidelines if it is not necessary, so the participants may freely explore their idea,
We did that, exactly. All this time, thinking about how to resemble trading and automation in the logo, and design it accordingly, and when we did that, the winner comes out from a corner with none of the resemblances mentioned by them. |

Congratulations, LogoGuy. So, no consolation prizes for other good ones? We worked hard too for this. |

I did not mean that, the thing is and what many companies are doing that, they escrow but from participants, there is someone from their team with, experience. Giving him submission and making him win. This happened few times for few companies, while they need just for generating ideas and rest is doing their illustrator. because the hard part is brainstorm and the idea behind logo, if concept is good anyone rebrand it anytime. Hope this one is not the case couse tried pretty hard Maybe there are companies who do these things, but this doesn't seem to be one of 'em to me. Because, I believe people would still participate to try their luck to win some money if the funds weren't even escrowed, and that would still generate the ideas they might would have been looking for, but they escrowed the funds to make sure that even good designers get to take part in it and they get quality content. At least that is how I see it, and to be honest, we all have worked pretty hard on this thing, for sure. |

What about the result?
All this bounty seems little shady to be honest, my guess is they needed ideas to fit the brand, the bounty was so big many tried. Lets see we will check it out from the results, if they will be available any time soon The funds are escrowed by Lauda who is one of the most trusted users in the forum. So I don't think they can cheat on us after giving away the funds to her. I was just concerned because it has been a lot later than the actual time they said they would pick the winner. |

I can make you the website. Let's discuss the content and the price in private. Send me a PM when you are ready.
And, you will pay the escrow fees.

It surprises me anytime i see a newbie starting a thread like" where can i get a bounty which allows newbie to participate in signature".
It surprised me too, seeing a Jr. member, which is technically a newbie as well but just a little bit older in age, wearing a paid signature and posting things that are by far not constructive and advising others not to do the same. Every signature campaign requires you to be active in the forum by making posts.
No! Every signature campaign requires you to be active in the forum by making "constructive" posts. And you are not even near that and I know that because I have just read some of your posts. Now the question is, as a newbie, how much knowledge have you gain from the forum so far that can help you make constructive posts.
You tell me, how much knowledge have you gained from the forum so far that makes you think you are an active constructive poster? They end up spamming the forum here and there making access to quality information very difficult.
Just like you. Please my advice to all new members is that lets use that period to groom ourselves well so that when we start wearing signatures, we can be making constructive posts. Thank you
Charity begins at home. So before you go out advising others to be good, be better yourself. You are wearing a signature to get paid, and posting nothing else but garbage posts in every single mega spam thread available in the forum, and yet you are here to advise others not to do what you are already doing yourself. You can't change the world if you don't change yourself first. |
