[April fools] New new rank requirements

[cryptaxo]

Correct.  He is using a joke vehicle to study us, like we are little bugs.        

Something like White mouse for his learning-from-trial process, from which he can launch new new new rank system, which has potential to completely control spammers, account farmers to rank up (just my hope). lol.

Why is a white mouse preferred over a black mouse for experiments? Just wondering!

Anyways, I was just reading this Cointelegraph's article and sadly it doesn't mention the awesome April Fool's Joke delivered by Theymos. https://cointelegraph.com/news/april-fools-day-rundown-nerding-out-on-cryptocurrency-pranks-and-jokes
It mentions the joke on Bitcoin reddit, but not Bitcointalk. Why? Why? Tell me guys.

because probably they do not read forums... other things are on first pages and this announcement was not on first page.

How many forum admins have you ranked on their creativity? 

Don't play dumb like this isn't a hidden category on your site.
I thought you ranked everyone by Most Activity, Most Trusted, Most Merited and Most Creative
I've been relying on your creativity statistics, c'mon.

[2dMoond]

See I was right. I am genious 

not only you! Im a genius too 

[vhroen]

Gotcha! I knew it from the very start that it was a BIG JOKE.
though Thymos is so smart and creative doing this stuff.

Don't think so dude, cause theymos is the admin so it means that it's always official when you read it directly from him. Anyway, those updates is looks like the other site that is related to crypto ( specially the altcoins discussion ), so at first, its kind of a fishy stuff. ( also I'm a victim too, lol ) .

Bitcoitalk has become like the real world. At first what time you study, then you work going up on a career ladder. And after years of work, you retire Legendary. In my with steeply have come up with, will less flooding

Huh? He just did bro..Those controversial new ranking he made was nothing but an april fools.

Yeah, but if you respect theymos, you gonna believe it first ( which you already fall on his fools )  and also most people doesn't care so much or celebrating about April fools. Adding some point that this website is 1 jokes and 99 facts and reliability ( specially if the money is the main character of the discussion ).

That was great I mean we all fooled by theymos and it's not impossible because we always take seriously whatever theymos implemented. I really thought this will be another requirements to rank up because actually that's too many to meet.

He really catch us tho.

After briefly making it up in my head consulting my most revered texts, it is clear to me that the humourless shitposters are of the sanguine temperament - enjoy being part of a crowd (megathreads), enthusiastic and outgoing (constantly spamming), boisterous, and have a hard time relaxing. The are certainly not choleric (independent, logical), melancholic (thoughtful, introverted) or phlegmatic (quiet, sympathetic).

As we all know, the sanguine temperament is linked closely to the blood humour, which is also warm and moist. It seems logical, then, that the best treatment for these humourless shitposters, is either complete derision with cold, dry sarcasm, or bloodletting, perhaps of their entire blood volume. I will begin organising a randomised control trial immediately.


Honestly, I did wonder about about in some way locally tagging all the people who did not get the joke for my own benefit - not to say they are untrustworthy per se, just that they are colossally dense.

nailed it

Your welcome, bud.

Those were the good ole days like when Atlas tried to commit suicide and I sent the police to his home to make sure he's okay.

[etherflip]

Surprised nobody pointed out the pointless bit shifting in that equation

[theymos]

I also called his local police when he did that, but they basically blew me off. Did you actually convince them to visit him?

Surprised nobody pointed out the pointless bit shifting in that equation

I did write it that way in part to be more confusing, but it's not pointless; 1<<10 is 2^10. It restricts the result to the 10-bit space of the game-of-life board.

Yes, theymos. Taxing my memory, either I called the Texas PD to follow up or they contacted me shortly thereafter to let me know all is well. I say taxing my memory because I may have the particulars mixed up with another suicide episode on this board where I was able to call the person in question's local PD where it may have been that case were follow-up was made (if not both).

Speaking of Atlas, he called me close to two years ago from Australia just to say hey. Just small talk during the convo.

A lot of users now are laughing not because it is an april fools prank but the burdens were not true. I shocked also when I noticed that the new rank system are suddenly gone to the thread I am reading.
A while ago, I am thinking on what are the combination numbers to rank up. I thought also that there are algorithms used in order to calculate the new rank requirements till I came to the point that I will not rank up anymore. But then, I am very thankful that it is just a prank. A discouraging ranking system turns to a joke! Those who complained, you may now celebrate!
P.S. It might be prank as of now, but it may come true in the near future.

Many users were commenting yesterday and though claiming it to be a joke but I was seeing a fear behind their statements.  A new tough measure to pass for higher ranking.  Haa haa but many were showing them to be normal but in reality they were not.
I was happy with new system and took it seriously.  I was seeing it as opportunity to rank up.  But    such a big joke.

I hereby propose the addition of a new Humour score.  Unlike activity and merit points, humour points can be lost for humourlessness, literal-mindedness, broken sarcasm detectors, inability to grasp satire, or employment at a humourless alphabet-soup agency.

Humour will not affect rank.  However, those with zero or negative humour scores shall have their signatures displayed upside-down and backwards.  Also, such persons should carry a warning beneath their usernames:  “Jest with extreme caution.”

This is a serious idea.  @theymos, please implement it!

I was surprised (and laughing) at how many people took this seriously. I thought that this was way more obvious than last year, but I guess not.

A paid sarcasm shill once warned me about this sort of thing.

P.S., Dr. Cerimon shall must needs advise on how best to program the forum software to distinguish between good and ill humours.

Ironic that nullius' last post was on April 1st in this thread.

[stonedtimer]

  you got me there...
im such a fool right now

[Deena]

Great joke. Now rid us of the trust and merit systems, please.
