Merit Source @digaran has gone too far

[BTCforJoe]

This user has gone too far. He has a problem with me, probably because of my Signatureless Challenge and the methods in which it awards deserving members of merits and my personal cash as a reward for posting great quality content on these forums.

I just try to ignore this user, but his posts are now becoming defamatory, libelous and slanderous. I am taking offense to his posts about me, which are unwarranted, and often out of thin air. It's not like he is posting on the tail end of my topics that I post in... Often times, I am only made aware of his posts about me from other users pointing it out. I don't cross paths with him often, but it seems as if he throws my name around quite constantly, which surprises me, as I could not care less about this user.

Until now.

It has reached the point where the things he says are becoming a problem and are meant purely to attack my character. They are never a given context to the topic he is posting in, and the unwarranted/unjustified posts are getting out of hand.

Furthermore, he is a merit source, which I consider to be an extension of the forums, which means he is a representative for the forums. He throws his weight around, regarding this matter, and publicly vocalizes his disdain for the current merit system and the ways that others reward merits for each other. This is fine, and all, but when it became insulting towards others is when it has become a problem.

I have tried to talk to this individual before. I have pleaded with him to stop talking about me. I have tried ignoring him. And this has been done to no avail. It's now getting worse. I don't know what to do in this situation, so I thought I'd post here and get the community's input. Am I just being overdramatic with this? I'd really like for this user to stop talking about me, but he doesn't seem to get it.

Are these types of posts acceptable here? Tell me that they are, and I'll drop the subject matter and simply ignore this user.

Here are some posts that he's written (please keep in mind that I have not provoked him to post any of these things; he's done it all out of the blue and on his own):

Here, he is joking about the merit system and about selling merits. And then he goes on to insult me; I have never posted in that thread or have anything to do with 1Katoshi.

What would you do then? I'm only interested in receiving money without doing the job. show me some respect I'm a merit source. you should call your new version 2 Katoshi. if you accept me as a team member, we could put some merits for sale. $100 per merit. buyers should also join BTCforJoe's challenge in order to receive merits. I need to get rid of BTCforJoe. there has been a few complaints about the soup in the public kitchen where he is helping 100 poor families whilst teaching us humility lessons by having his balls in our throats.  

(archive.is)


Here he is again insulting my charity work IRL. I run a soup kitchen and food bank where I feed underprivileged families, and here he is insulting the humanitarian work that I do and posting slanderously about me.

A fair warning for the OP. you should know if you are joining the challenge of the humble BTCforJoe. he used to put his balls in 100 underprivileged families mouths every morning before pouring them some soup, probably mixed with his cum. after writing some posts with good English and getting your merits. go the nearest public kitchen and open your mouth.

Next time, when you go to somebody's house, don't tell them what a shitty house they have. every new member posting a thread like this, it would make this forum a welcoming forum.

Here he is calling my challenge a "merit farm". I put a lot of time and energy into the challenge, and I genuinely care about the overall health of these forums, as is evident by the money and time I put into this challenge on a weekly basis:

I wonder if alia is still around with his (what now? alia wasn't a girl? some girl did show her pussy though on camera) alts?
Sir Jet Cash the second, why don't you register another account and farm some merits in Joe's merit farming topic? not only it is allowed, you could get 73 merits for encouraging the merit farming.

Here he is altering a quote, and then further providing racist bigotry:

Thanks for the support, guys. now lets gang bang this beggar who'd got lucky to become a source.

Yup, gang bang me. apparently I'm all alone in this and staff made a mistake to make me a source. mexxer-2 where are you man? I need more undeserved merits, these niggers are gang banging me. <Insert lols>.

(archive.is)


Continuing to be a racist bigot (he hid this statement inside of a black glow wall at 2pt size):

Don DS, note that everything I've just said above, is an act, lies. we all know that I'm a lier, beggar who would do anything to earn money. I will merit 1 at a time and wont merit the family members in rows. like 1 merit to a random nigger, 1 merit to one of the gang members of the don DarkStar_leone.
Disclaimer: I need merits, where is my supervisor a.k.a mexxer-2 to give me merits in bulk? don't make me beg, I'm trying to build a character here. just a single lol.

I fear that if this is not dealt with now that it will only get worse.

At the very least, I would love for this user to get reprimanded, or at least have the above posts deleted. At the most, I'd love for a staff member to review his post history and ask themselves if they would really like for this individual to continue going around the forums as a representative of the forums as a merit source.

Thanks for hearing me out.

1.This thread should be moved to - > Reputation since this isn't a forum related issue.

2.Do you see that "ignore" button ? Try it,does wonders.

3.I don't think you quite make a valid case for someone to be thrown out as a merit source.I mean maybe they have a slightly different opinions about your stuff but that doesn't mean they are incapable of judging one's post quality.I could be wrong though.

Also,

show me some respect I'm a merit source

^^ This is where you reply them with a big "Fuck You"

Thanks for the tip; I just moved it. I had the user ignored for a few weeks, but others just keep messaging me about him, or other users would quote his posts, to which I feel inclined to have to reply

This isn't my case to have them removed as a merit source; I can put together a ton more context for that issue... This is just to have these posts (at least the first two) deleted and maybe the user be reprimanded for their flagrant actions.

Yes exactly! Just use the ignore button.

That's probably a comment that is deservant of being removed as a merit source.

Since it's about a merit source, I'd say it's related to the forum, and fits the Meta board. But the title could be improved (suggestion: replace "User" by "Merit source").

I was actually thinking about it but couldn't exactly figure out where it should be.I mean usually all the DT member related queries (that is if a specific member is mentioned) are discussed in the Reputation board right ? I applied the same logic here.Title should be changed indeed.

Done and done. So back to Meta it goes... lol damnit

[Avirunes]

Better wait for him to explain on why he opposes Signatureless Challenge. Maybe he has a point opposing such which you haven't got your eyes on. I would say PM him making aware of this thread.

3.I don't think you quite make a valid case for someone to be thrown out as a merit source.I mean maybe they have a slightly different opinions about your stuff but that doesn't mean they are incapable of judging one's post quality.I could be wrong though.

Totally agree.  Eitherway even if he is removed from merit source , that doesn't means that he might have a different view towards your campaign.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I need more undeserved merits, these niggers are gang banging me.

Ouch!  I had digaran on ignore for the longest time, as he tends to write in these disjointed, jarring sentences that I have a hard time reading--but I took him off when he started with the biting sarcasm.  I agree that in this case it's not appropriate, it's insulting, and it's mean-spirited.  But bitcointalk doesn't censor these things, which is refreshing in a way.  

If I were you, I'd just follow the suggestion already given:  Put him on ignore and go about your business as usual.  I wouldn't take the things said about you seriously, because they're written in such a trolling manner.  The merit sales thing is a bit more disturbing, and I hope that as a merit source he's not being serious about doing that.  Maybe Theymos should be made aware of that.  Merit sources might be advised not to even joke about selling merit, seeing as how corrupt most people seem to be on bitcointalk.

I don’t know how you ended up on his radar, but it just goes to show you how irrational his behavior is.

It is indeed irrational, which is all the more reason for you to have a thicker skin about it.  If he's screaming idiotic nonsense, no one is going to take him seriously and thus your reputation isn't really damaged.  Just let it roll off you, and as hard as it might be, put him on ignore and let him stay there.

I'm not sure why i've got dragged into this. I don't farm merits, and I don't sell or exchange them.

[BTCforJoe]

He makes blind accusations by calling everyone with an established account an alt of another established account. So far, he has called me an alt of @DarkStar_ and @bill gator. I don’t know how you ended up on his radar, but it just goes to show you how irrational his behavior is.

I don't think you should actually care about the comments he makes, i did see how he he attacks you directly for no reason but as others suggested i feel that's the perfect solution

On a side note what you are doing is a really good move , see lauda how many people troll him daily some even make new accounts with the username insulting him but have you seen him react to it no right same way whenever you do something good there will always be someone trying to insults it's best to not react and move on

I've always tried to keep him on my ignore list, and he will definitely go back on that list after this ordeal dies down; I just don't like the fact that his trolling has turned into defamation. I could care less about him calling me an alt, but when he implicates that I perform lewd crimes against children, such as ejaculating into the food that I feed starving children and families, that's where I draw the line. Not only are these statements ridiculous, they're accusatory of a criminal matter, which I feel is not okay, even in a joking manner. If this were to happen in real life, I would take this person to court and easily win this case. Don't you think this level of "trolling" here on the forums should be stopped by staff members?

I'm waiting to see how he reacts to this thread; I'll be sure to add him back on my Ignore list afterwards.

I doubt that staff members will take any action against him i do understand your situation making such comments but this isn't something new on the forum i'm sure there are way more worse comments than this and nowadays we are living in a world where people's so called jokes are gone too far

I'm sure you did report his posts to the moderators did they give any reply or just ignored it like most of the troll reports?

Did QS pick up an apprentice from somewhere. I mean it's a slightly different reason why this user is picking up on people but it's quite similar to his style in a lot of ways.

I mean it's never going to be as good as the actual person but we can have a wanna be (for now).

Mods do ignore a lot and staff probably won't do much.
It would be nice to have him removed as a merit source though if he continues to go around like he does and expect respect because he's a merit source.


I think being called an alt of DarkStar_ is a compliment @BTCforJoe.

[bill gator]

Are these types of posts acceptable here? Tell me that they are, and I'll drop the subject matter and simply ignore this user.

I've bumped heads with digaran as well, as you're well aware of, because they have accused us of being the same person and other nonsense. To answer your question, yes, they are acceptable as far as I'm aware. People don't get banned for saying nonsense, or even making wild accusations (see quickseller). I've made it a point to just laugh off their posts and accusations, because I'm not even sure if this user is serious, ever. I have also made it a point to send digaran a PM and try to discuss out our disagreements and their accusations; it went pretty well, from my perspective, and I haven't had any negative run-ins with them since.

I would not pay them much mind, because they are either cracking a joke at our expense with dry humor, clueless beyond reason or terribly misunderstood; I do not believe this user to be acting maliciously, only foolishly at times.

I think being called an alt of DarkStar_ is a compliment @BTCforJoe.

I've also taken this as a compliment and moved on.
Even DarkStar_ seems to be enjoying the joke, with their new Personal Message.

I've seen this kind accusations too many times to different members of ChipMixer sig campaign
apparently a few people think that most of ChipMixer sig wearers are DarkStar_ alts
don't spend too much time on these things just ignore it and go to the next thread

[athanz88]

Come on man, dont let shitty person ruins your life and your good work, there are many people who is envious and want to be yourself but they can not. I see nothing wrong with your charity things (irl and forum), in fact, it is great to see humanity in this world with a lot of human now.

@digaran , if you ever read this, it doesnt mean you deserve the respect just because you can give merit to others.

[cabalism13]

I'm not sure why i've got dragged into this. I don't farm merits, and I don't sell or exchange them.

I think he has a problem with you guys that keeps on getting more attention to the public, and maybe it's the reason for you to be dragged on this situation though.

As I've been looking around on this BTCforJoe challenge, I can't see any problem and can't really tell that this is just for merit farming. As for nullius is also one of the participants of this said challenge and considered as a quality poster.

And IMO, He's just jealous of you JOE.

[Meepospammer]

I remember giving him a merit in this post since he mentioned that he is being ignored and nobody can see his post lol
I thought that it will make him happy but it turn out differently

Either I'm being ignored or nobody could see my posts.
