Rejoice! Actmyname is soon to be demoted

[HodorHodl]

Would someone please lock this post?

The last couple of weeks have seen some changes for the better, and I have to give it to DT2 that they are rolling with it. Past perceived injustices will come up, yes, but that's not a good reason for a 4 page thread of unpleasantry.

Drop it, the lot of you. This is childish.

It may not make sense what you did, but you did it nevertheless, so your actions have consequences.   Those consequences may leave a bitter taste in your mouth, but you'll get over it.  And as I suspected, you're not here just to socialize or to do some reading.   You're here because bitcointalk sounds like a cash register ringing to you.  That's never going to win you any sympathy here. 

you and peter griffin are the only actual reasonable people in here..
youre right with your statements... regardless its too far gone now
the little girl club and the account who thinks hes a mastermind genius already came in , jerked off to the negging and had their fun

You won't win here, buddy. It's already a cult. Noticed the merit stats? It's one big circle jerking group of guys giving merits among themselves. And the concentration of the merit activity is centered here in the Meta section.

Some few merits are spread out to parts of the Bitcoin discussion, but the larger sections of this lame forum have almost no merit activity at all. And that speaks volumes of what kind of people the seniority here are.

You could see the top names and they spend merit on each other. Other Legendary members don't even bother to know about this merit stuff.

And the amount of talks about forum moderation and stuff, like wow, haven't they got time for anything else? It's a classic syndrome of compensating something for the lack of one thing.

The shitposters ARE going to be hurt with this new system.  You can fight back though - create new accounts and complain how the system is flawed.  :/

You should actually look at the top names and see how they spend their merit.

Bitcoin Discussion is one of the most shitposter-infested sections on the forum.  Are you really complaining that merit-givers are being biased toward Meta?  Anything else you want to bitch about?   Your English isn't that bad, so you shouldn't waste all these words railing against the merit system like some low-rent shitposter. 

Also: Meta is IMO one of the most interesting sections of bct, so that shouldn't be a surprise that it's popular for earning merit.  But it kind of requires that you don't have big, cartoon dollar signs in your eyes when you think about bitcointalk--and that will disqualify 90% of members here, unfortunately.

But Sir, how will I feed my 39 childrens, Sir??

Really, these types of garbage, butt hurt posts need to stop.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

KWH, I know you were being sardonic, but I got PMs like this when I was tagging shitposters:

I have two children, should I finance
I will not repeat it
I beg your remove my trust for negative. I will not repeat it
I have no work other than in the forums
I am sorry
Thank you

And I found it extremely sad, but the fact is that these people are ruining their "workplace" and should be "fired".  At the very least they should exercise some family planning judgement and only have kids when they can afford them.  Relying on a sig campaign is just plain wrong to my eyes.

I get some interesting ones myself. Don't get me started on sig campaigns.

A few remarks:
a) Any story like that can be trivially made up.
b) The odds that it is made up are very high.
c) It is not your fault that people are irresponsible with their lives.
d) Empathy is a weakness. All it does is cloud your judgement, thus severely impacting your ability to think rationally.

There are primarily two individuals being childish here, the rest are not.

[actisstupidname]

the same situation was in my case

i just sent merit to my one friend and answered to second friend that sent me merit at first day, it was that time we not understud for what this system and i thougt its some bonus so at next day i tryed to studie but it was late
actmyname destroyed my single account i mean it not fair because all blaming is wrong

Can some of you in the boy's club ban this guy? His grammar hurts my eyes, small caps and bad spelling. I might need to see a doctor for this. Or at least tell this Russian shitposter to stick to his section and remind him that this forum is originally for White Anglo-Saxon Protestants only. It's what segregation is for, Russkie. Make Bitcointalk great again should be our rallying cry.

This guy is running amuck and spreading his shitposts since early 2013!

Empathy is a weakness ? Without empathy human would not have live so long time, it's the base of our society/family/clan !

anyway, I just want to support actmyname, he have help me against a crazy girl and I won't forget that he took on his own time to help with empathy someone he didn't know.

[Lauda]

Empathy is a weakness ?

Correct. Rationality beats empathy any day.

Without empathy human would not have live so long time, it's the base of our society/family/clan !

Appeal to tradition. Just because we might have needed empathy before in order to survive, that doesn't mean that we need it today. Furthermore, just because it might have been useful before that doesn't mean that it is useful today.

...I won't forget that he took on his own time to help with empathy someone he didn't know.

I have helped thousands of users here over the years, and felt no empathy towards any case. You do not need empathy to help someone. You were saying?
Tl;dr: actmyname is a good user. /thread

[Intellectual Romanticist]

Guess I'm not that active here. I don't even know the guy. But let me check his posts. Can someone pls send me his link? Thanks.

[Wendigo]

i stopped reading after the 1st line... man some of you really need to get a life
guys writing a novel about trust, i swear some of you are such losers in reality that you come on this forum trying to be police men because your real life is so terrible , you can come on here with your "legendary" accounts and vent and act all big on a forum.... because somebody cheated on a elementary or highschool quiz once they cannot be trusted for life?? wtf are you even talking about man.. how ignorant are you honestly
actmyname with his braces hiding in his moms basement is the saddest thing ive ever seen on a forum , negging people daily ... how is that really your past time when youre 15 years old.... get some sunshine and go live life, please i actually hope your life gets better buddy

Yes we're all compensating for [insert deficiency here] and are using our [insert perceived advantage here] to [insert perceived attack here].  But you just sound like Mr. Sour Grapes regardless of what the reality is.   You got busted abusing the merit system, and though I wouldn't personally tag you, I think it's good that some members with power are sending a message.   If you're just here to read and write posts for your own pleasure, the feedback doesn't matter.   It's only if you're here for financial gain that the feedback will sting.  Just suck it up and get over it.  Ultimately this is just an internet forum.

Aren't you in here for financial gain too? The pot calling the kettle black. Disable your paid signature and then spend all your time here doing God's work spreading those well-deserved negative ratings for free out of the goodness of your heart  It's so funny how the most vocal, narcissistic individuals on the DT network are running paid signatures. You all must have very peculiar psychological profiles lol.

[Vod]

DT2 members are not some kind of a bitcointalk police.

How would you describe us?  "Policing" is what we are on DT for.  :/

IMO vigilantes would suit better.

[yojodojo21]

Basically OP has an alt account which get tagged by actmyname and now rejoicing that actmyname will be removed what a coward way OP.
Now I believe that being a butthurt will always be a butthurt. Show your true identity and let's see if you can still rejoice. It doesn't matter if he will be removed or not unless you pay for them or you can't work your ass if they have them.

 

[Jet Cash]

I hdn't really encountered Actmyname until all these threads started to appear. I've read several of them, and I'm starting to like the guy. He may be a bit different, and have his own opinions, but that is a great personal trait in my opinion.

So - Keep acting your name, whatever your name is.

You're wrong, lol. Empathy it's one of the most important principles of humanism. I very doubt that you would change your residence in humanistic country (as i know - Austria) for USSR or Third Reich   yeah, it was two empires which were built on principles of rationalism.
Also, there existed many "good" organisations with members without empathy. NKVD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NKVD) or Schutzstaffel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel)  


People without (i mean they don't have such trait) empathy it's mostly maniacs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Bundy for example. The man who didn't fill any empathy for his victims and any guilt. Quote from wikipedia:  

Psychopathy is a personality disorder partly characterized by antisocial and aggressive behaviors, as well as emotional and interpersonal deficits including shallow emotions and a lack of remorse and empathy.

BUT! I agree with you that we can't have empathy for criminals.  

My opinion: actmyname is very honest with his feedbacks. Merit traders and other criminals will butthurt anyway, 'cause they don't have empathy

I think you've got it wrong. Why would you care for someone that doesn't affect you at all? You can't compare empathy in earlier years and now. Communities were smaller and you kind of got to know and benefit from one another.

Just because we might have needed empathy before in order to survive, that doesn't mean that we need it today.

Sad but true. World is moving hell of a lot faster than it did before.

Also, psychopaths absolutely lack sense of regret, remorse and empathy. That doesn't mean you should abandon all of that for you family, friends,etc... People you care about.

Now on the topic about Actmyname... if you did nothing wrong and think you're falsely flagged, there must be a reason for that either a correct one or some misunderstanding. Don't make a mistake, like I did, and go around the forum screaming and crying about your negative trust, because it's not going to help.
If you know you're falsely flagged, make a topic and explain your situation. Eventually, if you're truly falsely given neg trust, it'll be removed.

I don't think that he should be demoted, because he's actually fair about it and will remove the trust if it's unjust. I'd rather give out yellow flag like a warning before anything.

Now, I'm not 100% sure that actmyname's ratings are outside of what I would consider appropriate, which is why I didn't take action to immediately remove him. But from what I've seen, it does seem likely that he is too trigger-happy.

I'd also love to give my answer to this quote considering Actmyname. That may be BUT if that person truly is falsely given neg trust and has given a rational explanation on why is it unjust, then I do believe that that neg trust will be removed. So even if you get neg trust, you'll have it removed soon enough if you're clean. I don't know about that "racist elitist" thing, never encountered it. Cheers!







(not pointing at anyone, just speaking as it is from personal experience)

[johhnyUA]

Why would you care for someone that doesn't affect you at all?

Yeah, lol. If the red button with "brutally kill everyone in Austria to get 100 k $" will appear about me, i must push it, because it would be very rationally.

Also, psychopaths absolutely lack sense of regret, remorse and empathy. That doesn't mean you should abandon all of that for you family, friends,etc... People you care about.

Nah, you're wrong again. Most maniacs doesn't kill the people they know. Their victims are mostly strangers. (you can read about that fact in the Ted Bandy link above). Empathy it's not about family or friends. It's about people who you don't know.

Also, mostly, there two types of people who thinking in such way (I about Lauda's speech):
- killers, drug dillers and other criminals or very specific people. (believe to me, i live in Ukraine, a country at war. Here enough such kind of people). They mostly live according to the principles of cynicism, nihilism, rationalism.
- "Mommy's experts". You know what doest it means. No comments
