Theymos has been fooled!

[o_e_l_e_o]

if we all played the merit system it would take 20 years to get to legendary when people like you got it so easy before. barely anyone even hands out merits for anything, might as well get rid of all ranks.  but i'm sure you feel good about bringing others down, make you feel big and important.  shame

The amount of merit required to rank up is roughly the same as the amount of activity required. As the maximum activity that can be earned is 14 every 2 weeks, earning merit at a rate of 1/day is sufficient to allow you to rank up at maximum speed.

The merit system has been out for 57 days. Taking this thread as an example, excluding you there are 16 unique posters, and 8 of them have earned greater than 57 merit. That's 50%.

Ergo, it's really not that difficult if you post meritorious material.

So you cheated the system because you couldn't or wouldn't rank up any other way.  That's what you did, and that's what my neg is for.  This forum is filled with people like yourself, writing short one-line shitposts that add nothing.  We don't need that.  Had you not abused the merit system I wouldn't have tagged you for shitposting, but you had no patience and no skill.

OK, it's good to be back on DT but we'll see how long it lasts.  Who knows how many DT1 accounts are under the control of people in Quickseller's crowd.  But let me state this:  I'm not trying to bully anyone here.  I and many others are tired of the nonsense posts that permeate bitcointalk, but I won't even be tagging shitposters for that--which is why OGNasty excluded me in the first place.  I will tag account buyers & sellers and look into merit abusers.  I like when people PM me with cases they'd like me to review.  I'm in the process of looking into some merit abuse now. 

If other DT members (or those I respect) think I've negged someone inappropriately, I have and will continue to review and modify feedbacks.  I'm not perfect.  And if I get booted off DT (again), I can live with that.  I know I'm not the only one who's trying to combat spam and abuse of the various systems bitcointalk has in place, i.e., merit & trust; and account dealing.

This place is getting worse than the White House.

Yeah! Let's go back to the days when Stephen Bannon worked alongside Brock Pierce at an entity prior to the advent of Bitcoin which Goldman Sachs pumped tens of millions of dollars into. Shortly  thereafter, I postulate that James Simons/Robert Mercer recruited select cyberpunks to work on the Byzantine general problem. Years later, Sachs funds the Ethereum initiative while other Wall Street cats figure out how to get crypto on the formidable exchanges in further enriching themselves.

If you've been following the news of late, you've read all about Cambridge Analytica, right up Simons' alley. Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Harris_Simons#Investment_career.

[Quickseller]

Did I get added back on DT or what?

You did.

If this is true, the only rational explanation is that both blazed and hilarious are actively trying to undermine the credibility of the trust system.

This is the only rational explanation as to why they would add a criminal extortionist and someone as immature and racist as pharmacist. This doesn’t even consider their lack of reputation, credibility and trading experience.

[marlboroza]

the merit system sucks, everone know it.

It doesn't mean you can abuse it.

giving me a negative trust because you think that makes me a bad user is not even remotely fair.

Because of users like you many users can't rank up[1].

i have plenty to offer the forum

No, you don't.

i'm just here to learn about bitcoin and alts like anyone else.

You are here to catch bounty reward. Don't lie. Be honest.

barely anyone even hands out merits for anything

I am glad to see pharmacist in dt...again. Honestly, I am sick tired of reading fights between DT members/removing from dt/sending negative to each other/etc and I am 100% sure that most forum users share the same opinion.
Many users are afraid that they will be negative rated if they express their opinions and this is worst enemy on this forum and it is some kind of censure.
Adding someone who is not involved in these fights is refreshing.

Pharma, sorry about my bad english, it is my damn country, forced me to learn many languages when I was in school back in...'96

This is the only rational explanation as to why they would add a criminal extortionist

Extortion is a criminal offense. There are no exceptions, not even in police. But, I would rather call this stupidity. Everyone can make mistake.

someone as immature and racist as pharmacist.

I think you are wrong, he is just pissed because of spammers. As they usually come from third world countries and they don't speak english very good....well, you can do simple math 1+1=2.

trading experience.

Hah! This is called hypocrisy!

[whywefight]

I am glad to see the forum is at the same shit level as it has always been. No matter what people try to make it better, the sheer amount of bullshit happening here kills the effort. Good to see at least some folks keep fighting.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

a criminal extortionist and someone as immature and racist as pharmacist.

I assume you're speaking of two different people here, as no one has ever accused me of being an extortionist.  Oh wait--you made the accusation that I'm Lauda and that Lauda is an extortionist.  And that's right, I'm still waiting for all that evidence you said you had.

If you could take off your Lauda-hating goggles for a minute, you'd see that I've never scammed anybody on this forum and that I have, in fact, traded numerous times and never had any accusations leveled at me that I was dishonest.  You'd also see that I've been trying to fight the account traders & farmers who facilitate scams and shitposting here. 

You just don't like that I've called you out for 1) selling accounts, and 2) for your escrow scamming behavior.  I would advise anyone here that if they wish to see some really immature behavior, go find the thread where Quickseller tries to defend taking 2 sides of a 3-sided, escrowed, transaction and not informing the counter party that he is also the escrow.  Hilarity ensues, let me tell you.  And somewhere in that debacle was a promise by you that you would leave bitcointalk, which never happened.  Then I think your alt account Panthers52 chimes in a few times, and I think that was before it became a well-known fact that you owned that account.  That whole situation was sad, maddening, pathetic, and comedic--all at the same time.

And so for the newcomers here, THAT is how Quickseller got booted off the Default Trust list and why he's somewhat angry and probably just a tad jealous that I've been added back to DT and he has a crimson minus infinity trust score.  You thought you scored big when you had the Tomatocage account exclude me from their trust list, right?  Well, until the real TC returns and speaks for himself I'm going to assume you're in control of that account.

I didn't ask to be put on DT, and I'm not using it for my personal gain.  I don't do a lot of trading here, and the novelty of the status had already worn off when I got kicked off it last time.  My feedback on those account dealers, bounty cheaters, and merit traders carries more weight, and that's pretty much all I care about.

Extortion is a criminal offense. There are no exceptions, not even in police. But, I would rather call this stupidity. Everyone can make mistake.

Being stupid in breaking the law is still breaking the law. If I were to accept that someone was being "stupid" when breaking the law, I would first need to see regret to their actions, and accepting what they did was wrong (ideally very shortly after getting 'caught' - otherwise these become not credible), to my knowledge, lauda has done neither of these, and lauda continues to say what he did was not extortion (eg, he refuses to acknowledge what he did was wrong). The locking of the relevant threads and the leaving of negative trust against shorena (and other attempts to discredit shorena) is in my eyes an attempt to cover up his criminal activity.

If you ask my opinion, lauda does not think what he did was a "stupid mistake", I think that lauda thinks he made a "stupid mistake" in getting caught/exposed.

Your ability to derail any thread in to a discussion about Lauda would be somewhat impressive if it weren't so predictable and tedious. Given the frequency of your foaming-at-the-mouth rants, were this real life I would be suggesting you get tested for rabies.

[Scam Exposey]

Trust system today doesn't seems working right since looks like those who are added their are bullies, racist and criminals. DEFAULT TRUST SYSTEM MADE TO TAG SCAMMERS OR TO STOP THE POSSIBLE ONE! and not meant to bully those people who don't have power! Feel pity for those people who get a red trust while theirs no history of them doing a scammy act here.

[Scam Exposey]

STOP BEING ONE SIDED GUYS ALL DESERVES SECOND CHANCE UNLESS THEY SCAM PEOPLE. AND FOR SHIT POSTING NOT ALL OF US LIVE ON THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!

DT IS NOT FOR BULLIES

[Aikidoka]

Since you are good at exposing scammers. Why are you not good at minding your own business? It is not you who talks on the admin's behalf. The latter knows what to do and I do not think he can be fooled by someone that easily. And even if he got fooled, that would be about something very trivial. Let them do whatever they want since you are not affected. Did you appoint you to be their lawyer or what? But either way, I respect your opinion.

[TheQuin]

Let them do whatever they want since you are not affected.

I think it is rather obvious that they are affected. One of their alt accounts must be tagged by The Pharmacist, there's no other reason to be so upset that he's back on DT. theymos hasn't been fooled by anyone, as already pointed out in this thread it is a decentralised system and DT1 members make the decision who they include or exclude from DT2, not theymos.

[Alone055]

After all those Merit-related threads that we have been encountering from some time in Meta, now we will see a new trend of The Pharmacist-related threads in here (or in Reputation). The rage (or requests sometimes, as some of them think they can reverse it being polite) of users tagged by Him (The Pharmacist) will surely flood this (and Reputation) sections soon enough. In fact, it has already started.  
Words like "Sir", or "Trust abuser" are going to be a very common in these sections very soon.  

[marlboroza]

You obviously don't know anything about how law system work.

If I were to accept that someone was being "stupid" when breaking the law, I would first need to see regret to their actions, and accepting what they did was wrong (ideally very shortly after getting 'caught' - otherwise these become not credible), to my knowledge, lauda has done neither of these, and lauda continues to say what he did was not extortion (eg, he refuses to acknowledge what he did was wrong).

Last time i checked this isn't thread about lauda.

The locking of the relevant threads and the leaving of negative trust against shorena (and other attempts to discredit shorena) is in my eyes an attempt to cover up his criminal activity.

As I said "I am sick tired of reading fights between DT members/removing from dt/sending negative to each other/etc"

If you ask my opinion, lauda does not think what he did was a "stupid mistake", I think that lauda thinks he made a "stupid mistake" in getting caught/exposed.

Dude, no one is taking your accusations seriously Trust:497: -9 / +15 !
Grow up kid 

[2girls]

Did I get added back on DT or what?  I'm getting a whole bunch of PMs from account-dealing idiots I've tagged from as far back as 2016, and that would only happen if my feedback was suddenly given weight.  Is what TheQuin said correct, that hilariousandco added me to his trust list?  If so, I am appreciative of that.

I don't think I ever finished removing negs from users who I've tagged for shitposting, mostly from early January, before the merit system came about.  I'll finish doing that forthwith, as I finally got a computer with internet access at home.  It was so tedious doing that on a smartphone.

We all know that theymos request to eliminate The Pharmacist to be listed on Default Trust Network

Nope, it was the exclusion of Tomatocage that did it, after OGNasty excluded me for reasons known only to him.  Apparently he thinks I'm bullying new users here because I was tagging shitposters and thereby stifling newcomers' ability to become outstanding members of the community...or some such BS. 

And Tomatocage?  I've never had any interaction with him whatsoever, and he hasn't even been active for a while.  Any rational person--who is also familiar with bitcointalk politics--would conclude that the Tomatocage account is controlled by someone in the OGNasty camp.  Probably Quickseller, but that's just a guess. 

Welcome Back My friend, Pharmacist as a DT member.  Now a tough time is ahead for shit posters and merit abusers. 
Lets see how it goes this time 

[athanz88]

Welcome back the pharmacist, even though i dont quite agree with all the shitposter-tag you gave to people, it changed me to become better than my previous self because i was scared if you tagged me back there.

Well i guess i owe you a thank you, thank you man, let me quote some words from one of a movie. Heroes doesnt always wear a cape.
