Ask me any questions about Bitcoin Talk and posting

[hugeblack]

My question is, is there any plan also to demote those accounts that ranked up years ago who does not earn a single merit even though they are here for a long time? I have observed that even though they ranked high but they are not contributing to the forum and even spamming here. I know they were here ahead of me but the purpose of the merit system does not affect them.

It depends on what happens in the future. If the "garbage-posting" continues, more restrictions will be imposed.
In general, the purpose of these restrictions is to increase the quality of posts. Once this achieved, rank-up will return to activity.

I'll think about tying some of those to activity instead of rank in the future.

Another consideration is that some bounty managers are requiring earned merits from applicants to their better programmes.

This should have been considered since the implementation of the merit system to minimize spammers that earned huge amount of money to the envy of the lower ranked members that triggers them to use multiple accounts which in return multiply also the numbers of spammers/cheaters.

I noticed that ^^word got some red underline which tell that it was misspelled but i think it is the right spelling. Do this domain used American English to checked spellings and grammars rather than British Standard? You might find this question silly but i just want to know.

How do I add a profile picture to my account? Should be easy but I can't find a way to do it in settings

Actually you can add now an avatar or images in your profile forum for theymos made it availabe after paying a small fee as toll to get rank in an upgraded jr. member account that can wear images or avatar. Refer to these thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.0) why theymos made this decision and if you are interested to get the opportunity to wear images visit this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote. Buy the copper membership and enjoy wearing your favorite avatar!

The Copper upgrade gives you the same privileges as a "Member" account, which does not have an option for an avatar.  You must to rank up to Full Member before you are permitted to wear an avatar.

Once you have ranked up to Jr. Member.

The forum is America, JetCash must be British, and therefore possibly Satoshi Nakimoto.

I've set up an image hosting site - https://mobileimg.com/mypictures/ , but it's only for Bitcoin Talk members who have joined the Fit to Talk English posting improvement project. The idea is that you take pictures of Bitcoin use in your local country, or other local customs or topics of interest. I'm providing it to help improve the quality and content of threads in this forum, please don't abuse it.

Sometimes i like it better when the forum is sorted by newest topics first instead of the standard newest reactions first, as far as i know you can not adjust this through the forum settings.

To solve this you can add a ";sort=first_post;desc" (or ;asc) after board=x.x.
For example https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0;sort=first_post;desc

Perhaps there are other tricks like this you know of?

You can post as many time as you wish until you maintain the rules of the forum. That's how all the forum work, FYI. But, in bitcointalk, posts are not counted for your ranking. You need to have activity.
you can have 14 activities per 2 weeks of period. So, no matter how much you post daily, you can only get 14 activities per 14 days.

How do I get merit point?

Put 0% effort for merit.
Put 100% effort for quality.

Hi, Can you tell me how to receive merit? What should I do?

[dasunlanka]

If you never got banned, you can have as many accounts as you want

Okay. But I don't understand is why the multiple account is not banned here.what is the purpuse of having multiple account for one person?. Can't they post valuable post with one account.? for long term I think new members will earn their first merit and will create new account and try to earn another one merit rather increasing membership jr.member to member.so I think need a rule for this .

Hi, Can you tell me how to receive merit? What should I do?

this forum is to learn and share valuable ideas and knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency among all the users.so you can learn here and post valuable post it is helpful for forum members, merit system is developed to help members to rank up and give respect/value/motivate for important/knowledgeable post. If you create a post with really valuable for forum users someone will reward you a merit.it is not guarantee which post and howmany merits. it is depend on the thought of senior members who have smerit (sendable merit). If someone think your post deserve merit he will add merit to your post.

People can use multiple accounts for different reasons, the main being entering different bounty campaigns with different accounts. Or a member might not want to join bounties with an account for whatever reason, and opens another for that purpose.
It is not encouraged, but it's not a violation of forum rules.

for long term I think new members will earn their first merit and will create new account and try to earn another one merit rather increasing membership jr.member to member.so I think need a rule for this .

If they can earn merit on one account, they can on another, and merit gifting to alt accounts is unethical and can earn one a red trust, so it's a risk most are not willing to take.

I have a question about posting. Can you tell me where to post the right topic? My post is usually deleted but I don't  know why

[r1s2g3]

I am confused with trust system. I see my trust setting, I understand who is in DT1 and DT2 but I did not understand the post in which people talk like X included Y, so Y become DT or X excluded Y , so Y dropped from DT. How we can able to see this trust list? Actually how many people in Theymos trust list?

Can I log in my bitcointalk account in many PC and IP address ? I have to travel a lot so my IP and log in device is not fixed. Will I get red trust account for this ?

That's a dificult one to answer without seeing some samples of deleted posts. You need to look through the rules, and you should be able to get an ideas of the reasons - for example - off topic, incorrect information, self-moderated thread, etc,

One example of incorrect information is this post of yours

Just my opinion, I think that is because Bitcoin is used for criminal and money laundering

Due to the traceability of Bitcoin transactions, criminal use has reduced recently, and fiat banking, cash, gold and other methods are more common in association with illegal activities.

I have a very mobile lifestyle, and use a wide variety of connections,including public WiFi. library ethernet, and mobile tethering. Also I use a variety of computers and smartphones. I have never had any problems with my BT account as a result of this. Of course I have had some difficulties with connecting via a few ISPs, and I understand that other members can have problems if they are using privacy services.
