Is this a merit worth post?

[GameofMeritsucking]

I'm not against those user nor being jealous, no issue with them regarding they've received tons of merits for their posts even if they seem geneic| I'm just trying to understand whether the posts were made by them totally merit worthy or not.


I'm sharing here some of the those posts where users recieved a tons of merits in generic comments.

1)The op received 20 merits by one user in this quoted thread.

We can argue sports betting is about knowledge a person has about sports but at the end of the day, a person who merely goes with favorite, will also get his picks often right. So is sports betting actually about knowledge? Edit: So many people are misunderstanding the word, 'favorite' here. What I meant here is oddmaker's favorite. Suppose, a competition is held between two teams 'A' and 'B' with odds 1.2 for former and 2.0 for latter, then former is favorite, and bettor can bet on this favorite without having iota of knowledge about sports itself and still likely win the bet. I understand the payout will be less, but here we are saying, getting the pick right without having knowledge about sports whatsoever. Hope I have made myself clear enough.

2) Another user received 15 merits in this quoted thread of op with that previous merit sender.

I don't really know if similar question or concerns has been raised before, we often say that we are gamblers but does it mean that anyone who gambles once or twice is a gambler? If no, how long could someone be classified as a gambler or what games that are to be classified as someone gambling.Drop your opinion.

3) Same user received again 10 merits from previous sende.

I would love to know your opinion over this question above as it's painful to see that what you do or what gives you joy at times people often  term it as something bad or possibly as an irresponsible people. If it was you, what would you do knowing too well that people who gambles are often seen as useless people and irresponsible people due to what some fellas has presented themselves into while gambling without at least showing any sign of responsibleness. Also, What do you think can be done to see gamblers as a responsible people in our society?

Was it really a worthy post or not?

Thank You.

Was it really a worthy post or not?

Honestly, no.

But, gambling board is one of board who lack of merit, which mean there should be more merit sources who give merit in that board. So I can't really give any comment, maybe as time goes, he will decrease the amount of smerit he gave.

I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE RELEVANT THREAD, BUT IT'S DISGUSTING TO SEE THAT EVERYONE IS TOO PUSSY TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST SwC Poker's signature campaign. Everyone is willing to admit that those accounts are spammers and frauds, but NO ONE HAS THE BALLS TO REPORT THEM DIRECTLY TO THE CAMPAIGN. I've taken it upon myself to report this issue, since apparently I'm the only one with the courage to do so.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME SwC Poker? You are basically funding a known fraud and cheater called Mastercon, which is absolutely disgusting.

You can see the proofs for yourself on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5335270.msg65428902#msg65428902, it's all out in the open.

And you know why there are so many spammers on Bitcointalk? It's because of campaigns like SwC Poker that encourage and support scammers and cheaters like Mastercon. IT'S A COMPLETE JOKE and no one seems to be doing their due diligence anymore, background checks are a thing of the past, anyone can just walk in and start spreading casino-sponsored shitposting all over the forum without any consequences.

However, 5merits to an application, that doesn’t just highlight the application but, raises a lot of eyebrows as their are many same sane applications that got nothing. Now we know why!

I do casually come across campaign applications that are merited and I always wonder what is so special in such applications. However, they're mostly one or two merits and they're mostly from reputable members but this particular one is beyond wonder. Five whole merits for application of a senior member is weird.

In as much as the forum doesn't regulate the giving of merit, at least, there are guidelines in issuing out merits. There's no much to discuss again since it is obvious the accounts involved are alts and some already received the appropriate tag. The handler was probably carried way because no sane person would endangered accounts for just five merits.

Tbh I also wondered why I got that many merits for a pretty simple post, and I observed that the guy who merited (Julien_Olynpic) was on a generous merit spree that day in gambling discussion board (https://talkimg.com/image/Udn8gc).

I always thought that the applications that are merited especially by reputed members are kind of recommendation for BM to hire that applicant.

Apparently, you don't have the courage to do so cause if you did, you wouldn't have needed to use your alt to come and make these statements. True, Mastercon defaulted some of the rules and the necessary punishment has been given to him but you on the other hand seem to have a personal beef with SwC which is as result of fraud as you claim. You've reported the matter, did you drop proof? If yes then focus your energy on something else because all these things you're doing now; writing in all caps just makes you look noisy.

Tagging the accounts was the appropriate course of action. I also have tagged the Mastercon, bitterbit, coaltin and rsarkar accounts and ~distrusted them. If the scammer has other accounts he is keeping them away from public eyes (for now at least).

I have red tagged accounts Mastercon, bitterbit and rsarkar based on connections made in this thread by hosemary and JeromeTash. The other two accounts are also alts of Mastercon as pointed out in my post referenced by JeromeTash. I could not believe the arrogance of Mastercon in response to his recent loan application being denied by shasan. He clearly exhibits the pathological absence of manners or remorse that is typical of professional scammers. Hope he gets removed from his campaign tbh.

I'm not against those user nor being jealous, no issue with them regarding they've received tons of merits for their posts even if they seem geneic| I'm just trying to understand whether the posts were made by them totally merit worthy or not.

Why, though? It doesn't really matter... your displeasure in how the posts got merits will not really affect anything. Complaining about merits given to accounts shouldn't be the sole basis for opening a thread. Instead, merit transfer information should be used to help solidify cases against potentially scammy accounts, in conjunction with other evidence. It is very rare that any type of action is taken against account solely because of their merit distribution habits.

Merit transactions should definitely be tracked and which user is giving merit to whom is definitely a matter of analysis. Because here many people are abusing merit and doing business of selling accounts by creating multiple accounts, while many people are working with multiple accounts in signature campaigns which is against the rules of the campaign.

According to the rules of the Signature Campaign, if someone has a small lack of merit due to the requirement of having 120 days of merit, then at that time they trade merit from their account in low quality posts or POA posts. Although a campaign manager understands these and does not accept them in the campaign. But what they are doing is completely against the rules of the forum. So they deserve to get the tag

[coaltin]

This is a clear merit abuse.
Mastercon sent merit to his alt account and below is the proof.

coaltin owns 1DDjnKAn1Vq273JScK7KDWcq5wDEjuDVQ5 and according to wallet explorer, the address is a deposit address on Poloniex.
Mastercon owns bc1qlm68jjll97lpyy48hecnhfy34dw0tqm6ycq8zr and made this transaction to the above address to make a deposit in Poloniex.


Proof of addresses:

Bitcointalk Username: coaltin
Bitcointalk Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=528653
Bitcoin Address(SegWit): 1DDjnKAn1Vq273JScK7KDWcq5wDEjuDVQ5

Bitcointalk Username: Mastercon
