Selling of merits and btctalk accounts

[jojowar]

Merits in bitcointalk are giving free by member to another member if you knew someone who sell their merits, you can make a thread in bitcointalk reputation board but selling of accounts is allowable but not encouraging anyone to sell their accounts.

My friend got scammed the other day, but not on this forum. He was scammed in a telegram group where merits and accounts are sold.
I think this issue should be looked into so the innocent people are not scammed of their funds.

It wont really be needed since this forum alone would be the great place for those noobs to read up some guides and advices.Buying merits is prohibited on the first place and why your friend
do tend to buy? There are lots of scammers even though he successfully buy some merits and once caught then his account would be still painted in red so its still useless.

Then no one has to blame but your friend, I'm pretty sure he/she is familiar with this forum that's why he/she decided to buy accounts with merits. Moral lesson is not to buy accounts, simply as that. Just work your ass off, contributed to the discussions, then sooner or later merits will come.

This is the hardest part thats why most people who do knew about this forum and the opportunity on making money do plan to buy accounts
to rush up the process without even knowing that it is against the rules. Gaining merit might be easy for some but on most people specially newbies
will really need to focus on how to contribute into conversation into the community.

If you think you have the ability to make high quality post you dont need to buy merits, you will only waste your money or else you will get scammed.

I'm thinking so too that it should be looked into. If someone can be red trusted for buying or selling an account if caught, it means is an offense or a violation of forum rule.

Red trust in simple term means a punishment for an offence or allegation (because, some are not also genuinely given).

I haven't seen buying or selling of merits but have seen many I mean many threads of buying and selling of Bitcoin talk accounts. I would say everyone should report the person who is encouraging the sale of merits and accounts and let those people get red tagged so they don't get to continue their ways.

If your friend got scammed buying merits it wasn't too bad for him...
If he bought merit and got caught here he would be banned... so at least he didn't loose his account ;-)


Today buying merits is forbinden but buying accounts is only not recomended...
For me both such activities are not fair to other users who work on their rank by themselves for months or years...

I actually hated it when BCT added the merit system . I mean it will be very hard to rank up now compared to the system before wherein you just keep posting anything . Account selling is already there tho even before the merit system . After the merit system was intorduced , I feel like that BCT accounts are now higher in value . Merit selling is present also , but we have active members here on BCT who keeps track of those people who are involved in these kind of exchange/selling of merits.

The problem with the new system is that the majority of the Full Members and higher have received ranks without doing anything for it, however, they can be fraudsters or provide false information, hiding behind their rank. This is wrong! When introducing a new system, it was necessary to reset all accounts.

[Question123]

If your post is constructive and you confident that someone will gives you merit there is no reason for the person to buy merit because it is not good for you. Once they caught for sure they will have consequences . Selling bitcointalk also is not allowed here because you can create your account if you want it's free to have an account but the rank is low but you can rank up it but maintain your good quality post so you can get merits from your post.

[emulsifryer]

Merit is now quite hard to earn, so someone who cant earn it choose buying account have at least 1 merit to conduct bounty campaign in this forum.

And that's where you guys come into the picture. All bounty whores are finding it hard to get a least a merit to continue their journey here, but alas, merit buying/selling is the obvious way to go. But one way or another you will be caught by those members helping to clean up this forum and reported.

If they caught having multiple accounts in this forum then as what they have implemented on the rules and regulations not only alt accounts will be banned but also the main user so that you could never access into this forum again.

And not to mention that scammers had flocked to telegram since they see that opportunity is there. I'm not sure what had gotten to that "friend" to buy such merit, is he that hopeless? It's weird that there are people will buy it as merit is freely given when someone appreciate your post or even he don't but the idea is unique and useful.

seems easy to you when you say that merits are free and given by anyone but its actually hard to earn it especially if you are on the guys situation were he cant merely speak a good english and cant hardly compose an understandable sentence .  also  ,  scammers are not only going on telegram but scammers are everywhere even in the offline world there are lots of them  but no one can get scammed if the people will only be wise  .

Lol, I felt guilty as what you have said because until now I didn't get enough merit or I am just a noob but I won't accept my self as a shitposter because I think my replies have a sense though. Well, I'm maybe just lucky I've reached this rank before merit rules were implemented.
Selling and Buying accounts is very risky especially if you don't know who is your dealing with, maybe scammer or what. The best thing to do is just stay away on this kind of behavior.

Thats one of the major problems, many people achieved hero and legendary status just by spamming before the merit system was introduced.  It is incredibly unfair for people that joined after but I guess thats how life goes.

 It is incredibly unfair for people that joined after but I guess thats how life goes.

Blame the shitposters and spammers for the unfairness you perceive that's happening, because it was they who are responsible for the merit system being created.  If idiots weren't making this forum unreadable by trying to crank out as much garbage as humanly possible, there would have been no need for merits. 

By the way, life is unfair and it's a problem we all share, and thus nobody wants to hear any whining about it.  I'd also add that merits can be gotten on the local boards too, so you don't necessarily have to be able to write perfect English to get them.  That's just an excuse, and nobody is a victim because they haven't earned any merits.  Some people just can't write well in any language, and some people are just lazy and want everything handed to them.

I don't literally mean 'free' but I said it's 'freely' given. I hope you know what's the difference between those two. Hence, I know how hard to get a merit especially english isn't your native language but this shouldn't hinder us. Just speak freely and let your idea speaks.
Yet the thing is, don't try too hard to get one, if someone appreciate your post then it will be.

Indeed it is, but that will not be worth the effort as once someone caught you (and seller), you will get bad trust and will make your accounts (literally) worthless. Specially for the seller as he lost his established account compared to buyer who just had newbie/jr member account.
