Please I'll like the moderators to go through this thread and tell me if it deserves a red trust

First your thread isn't belongs to meta. Please move it on Reputation board from lower left. Second trust isn't moderated by forum, so asking to moderators doesn't hold any weight. Third your posted topic that for you got red trust isn't holding much value. You just creat list, there isn't no link to click or no option visit their profile. No clear information on your thread.

Actually Vod should tag you for shitposting. There is nothing informative. You just copy paste total thread. Obviously you just try to gain merit, that's why vod tag you for merit reasone.

A funny fact is these days higher ranked members throw merit about to other higher ranked members for any sarcastic comment against the so called 'merit beggars'. And then turn round and tell lower ranked members, 'go make quality posts or you ain't getting anything'.

Rank isn't important for meriting. Important is quality and useful. Obviously you should made constructive and quality post in order to gain merit. Not post only just for increase activity. To be honest I can't see any meritable post on your profile. Most of post is too short. You made them on 2/3 line cleverly. Actually it could be post only one line. I will consider you one liner.

So anyone can just give out a red trust arbitrarily or at his or her own discretion...wow

Correct. But only a few people are on DT. And you won't find many people who disagree with Vod's ratings in general.
From what I've seen, he's very willing to remove some ratings again after a while.

I'll love to see him come into this thread and state his biased reason for giving me a red trust..

Didn't he do that already? See your trust summary.

Sarcasm is a great way to show that you understand what you're talking about. And after many times friendly responses, people do become sarcastic if users keep making dumb posts.

It's pretty obvious to all except the spambies. At the moment the forum is on life support, and many of us are trying to ensure that it isn't turned off. It isn't helped by the fact that so many spambies are depriving the boards of oxygen.

This your post is unhelpful and pointless as my thread I guess...
  To be fair you also need a red trust since that's how things work in here

?? Do I need to post more?

You just described my feelings here!!!

To the OP, just don't act so ignorant. There are people in here that have been for years building this site. Of course, they deserve some consideration, even though not all of them are decent ones. Your red-trusted post was an insult to anyone's intelligence. If you can't see that, maybe this is not a place for you to be in, that' s all.

[o_e_l_e_o]

In this thread:

Newbie who has been on the forum for 2 weeks tells users who have helped build the forum for the last 4-7 years that they are "killing the forum".

[Cacheof]

I rest my case...
  It's impossible to win you guys,you've been here longer..
 I'm leaving this forum for good
  Goodluck!!!

People who say they are leaving a forum never seem to go, they seem to hang on hoping that they will be noticed.

Those who actually leave just go, and they usually shut the door quietly.

What's the purpose of staying in a forum where everything you do is wrong
 You make a post;you are begging for merits
You clear your spam posts; any one without a spam post is looking for merits
 You make a post:you get a red trust
You complain;everyone keeps going round in circles never accepting a high ranked member was wrong..
 It's obvious the forum is for those who've ranked up
 And there is no chance in hell a newbie will make it that far

[The Sceptical Chymist]

And there is no chance in hell a newbie will make it that far

The question that always comes to mind when I read posts like the above from noobs:  Why are you so concerned about newbies being inhibited from ranking up?  First of all, it isn't true.  We were all newbies at some point and every member you see with a rank higer than Jr. Member has ranked up.  Second, rank is only important here because you can earn more money having a higher rank.  Low-ranked members can still fully contribute and can learn everything there is to know about bitcoin.

Thus, members complaining about how they can't rank up get infinitesimally close to zero in the amount of sympathy they generate.

[Jet Cash]

Lets step back to the 1970s for an analogy.

If you wanted to become a toolmaker, you didn't just turn on a lathe and start chopping away at metal. If you did that you would certainly mess up the work, you could damage the lathe, and you could even lose a hand or your life. What you did was to learn about the tools and their operation. You would take advice and educations from the craftsmen,and start with simple projects.

Gaining the most from Bitcoin Talk requires you to understand the tools that are available here, and to work with the many helpful members to master their use. The fact that it requires mental skills rather than physical skills doesn't really make it any different.

Nope. There are too many members here who climbed up to the top after the Merit System was introduced. They've just used their heads on how they can stand against or stand with the older higher members of these community.

I really hope so too, the registration for new members here on bitcointalk should be paused.

And there is no chance in hell a newbie will make it that far

theyoungmillionaire is one example of those who made it on the ranks. I guess you're full of negativities in your mind fella.

[r1s2g3]

Why not try pleading with vod to take the red trust off..

@OP , Vod  has described his negative trust removal policy here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=887515.0

-ve trust given by Vod is only removed by Vod. If you keep arguing that your "shitpost" is a very constructive post, I think other DT might also tag you.
Delete that post, go though some Posting Tips.

You should be happy that you are not reported for Plagiarism , which brings permanent ban.
Excerpts from posting tip thread

Plagiarism is not tolerated. Quote all sources both internal and external to BTCtalk.

Those people do it for attention.

How many times now has Quickseller said he was leaving?

I doubt he'll be going anywhere. He'll either just create a new account and learn from his mistakes or just abandon this one and fire up one of his half a dozen alts he's been farming.

A truly quality poster would have no problem in rising through the ranks as we saw with nullius, but it's next to impossible for a shitposter to get anywhere past Member now. One merit is easy to get and most will manage that whether they beg, buy, trade or steal it, but they're not going to be able to achieve or afford to buy 100 merits to become a Full Member.

Just stop and think this forum was put here the inform "newbies" "jr members" "members"full members" and so on. making a post the informs someone or educate them on crypto is valued!
complaining and pissing and moaning will get you no where.

Stay read, ask and become informed

Lack of bounty reports indicate an alt or alts. Tell me I am wrong.  

Kind of  This user just started posting after the new rules announced back in September 17 while the account were created back in August 30. An alt account probably and were trying to receive more than 1 merit to send merits to his/her main account that might be a demoted Jr. Member for now. This is only my instinct but I feel like I'm 100% correct
