I read and understood your post but you clearly didn't read or understand mine because I already addressed your points, but if I'm 'spamming' my signature then why have I never been banned for such behaviour? Why am I one of the highest merited users on the board? Clearly my posts do have merit here so why does me having a signature not make me an enthusiast or invalidate my points? If someone wants to post without a signature then more power to them, but I'm not going to throw away the opportunity to earn for doing so and certainly not just to appease some whinger who is trying to make a point.
I explain clearly in my thread of the year and it is quite obvious that as suchmoon correctly states merit is MEANINGLESS without out clear definition and criteria.
So you quoting your MEANINGLESS merit score as some kind of validation for your opinion is guess what??? yes MEANINGLESS. It simply makes zero sense to use this to validate anything or lend credibility to any thing you post.
Each post must stand upon its own merit (objective merit not pal credits)
If you do not accept that then get suchmoon to explain.
Also I did not accuse you of spamming your sig did I? I think you have not understood the first part of my prior post is
not a response to you.
Hence why I put @hilarious and CO later down in the post where the reply to you started because apparently we are not allowed to double post. Which is a dumb idea because it creates issues exactly like this.
I do not think that you understand the point I am making at all.
1. will a REAL enthusiast post here LESS if he gets paid or not? I mean you WANT to make the forum better for EVERYONE right? a place for crypto to flourish?
2. will someone who is mostly here for the sig spam money put LESS effort into meta if they are not getting paid for their "contributions"? - - i suspect they may well do
3. If someone is here mostly for the money they will have to expend MORE effort to post in PAID2POST sections and then in META too.
4. I would rather have UNDILUTED collisions between REAL enthusiasts when debating on ways to make the forum a better place for
all persons. Those with SELFISH motives that will NOT being putting the entire boards interests first should not be getting paid to infest and over run this part of the board.
5. People want to spam for bucks then go to the spam for bucks boards with the other spammers. You want to give objective insights on how to improve the board
for everyone you come here and do it for free.
The facts are that you are spamming your sig constantly and it has NOTHING to do with a promising project that you believe in.
Why does it have to be a promising project? You advertised Bruno's crappy money-grab. Did you think that was a promising project that you believe in or did you do it just because you feel some affinity to that buffoon? Either way you and anyone else should be free to have whatever they please in their signature as long as it's not unethical.
Describing Bruno as a Buffoon is grossly disrespectful to the entire board. He has really put lots of unpaid and unrewarded effort into preventing scammers here over the years. He may be the best scam hunter ever and takes them down head on no snitching and crying to others for help. Far exceeding the value of 90% of the DT in TOTAL.
I did not even look at the project that much but it was some youtube thing. I actually supported it because of the person himself. I did not even check if it was going ahead obviously since I kept the sig there months after someone told me it was aborted. I collect everything that I can and have no need to sell these coins (well i don't think there are any because it did not take place in the end). In the future having some of brunos first coins from his first project would be something i would be glad to have in my collection.
Remove your sig and we can then presume you are not just here for financial gain. Or find a novel and interesting project that you believe can make a difference or help attract people to crypto. Can you not read the OP?
You can presume whatever you want, but the fact that I can get paid to make worthwhile contributions and also argue with idiots is awesome to me. Maybe I should forgo my mod money as well since obviously I am only here for that. Perhaps a doctor should give up his wage if he truly cares about saving lives and not just the money.
Also, how do you know I don't find Chipmixer a novel or interesting project? I cry tears of passion about Chipmixer every night.
Well
1. you are replying to a post that
you think was made for you
but was not.2. I find your passion for a mixing service of which there are 100's to likely be related to your payment for such passion. Not that I care what people promote so long as it is not a scam as you say, just let's leave it out of meta.
Since you are a dev under my proposal you are not actually prevented so why worry?
Do you really believe someone such as myself whom was on the great majority of POW alt coin launches prior to ico trash showing up. The launch that is not just mining at some point and believe me when I say i was great at getting on that chain with my rigs very quickly. However you will see that I fought for fair launch protocols.
Having been there through 2 huge bull runs and having been a NEM stake holder, and having purchased NXT the day after the ICO. Then to have predicted in public 6 of the top 10 rising projects in the last wave (way before they went insane) and having been thanked publicly by many persons and in PMs by many that had next to nothing that turned to millionaires. (that is starting with next nothing not a HUGE pile of crypto) that I would need to spam a sig for financial reasons. Not to be boastful because that is not the kind of person I am.
I have actually given a huge proportion of my own money away to people because I simply don't need that much money anyway. Although I have noticed giving people large sums of money is not always good for them so you can try to do a good thing and actually it was a mistake.
Do you see any lack of posting motivation since I have ever removed a sig ? I mean am I posting more now than ever though I am on vacation for example? why because the systems need changing for fairer and less abused systems by you and your pals.
Now as to my achievements here. Well let's group all of yours together and say well done noob, you have helped implement some measures to prevent some 2 bit spammers or at least slow them down until they find some ways to circumvent the measures. I mean you suggested a few things that could help the whack a mole crews jobs easier and helped clean up the boards a bit "perhaps". So "perhaps" I was over stating you were actual trash in that regard.
What does this have to do with anything here? As usual this thread really doesn't seem to be about sig spam, but just you and giving you yet another thread to have a whinge in.
I has everything to do with the QUESTION the idiot I was replying to asked me? have you read the thread or just here to launch some attack on me?
You are also too busy to come to my thread of the year
Lol. Congratulations. Here's your badge for the thread of the year:
AGAIN not a post made for you. But thanks, now go give it a ton of merit for addressing the most serious issues facing the board here and the free speech that has kept it the best forum on the net. Not the merit you gave a faux rebuttal to my important and correct points.
So i mean I could view your "prevention" of other spammers as really just one big ploy to game the system so that you and your pals can sig spam more effectively for yourselves right?
Well you could but you'd be a paranoid conspiracytard. If you're genuinely trying to propose that people are trying to get rid of users so they can enrich themselves even more then that's beyond ridiculous.
THIS DEMONSTRATES THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE THREAD OF THE YEAR AT ALL.
The more you drive up "earned merit requirements" ranks requirements, no red trust requirements (for highly paid sig campaigns and their higher rates) of course they can damage and get rid of other people to reduce competition for these "exclusive highly paid sig campaigns" hence why merit and trust control PAID2POST AND TRADING. There can be no argument that is how it works and also that free speech is being crushed. There can be no denying it. Calling it a conspiracy demonstrates
1. either you do not understand how it OBSERVABLY works or the direct implications/risks of allowing it to function as it does.
2. you want to PRETEND it does not work like that and discredit my TRUTH by casting it as a conspiracy nut theory. When it is an observable fact that it can and does operate exactly like that.
I didn't yet fully investigate the only one that really interested me (because I am busy enjoying myself) but if you have found a way to stop the pretend conversations and bump spamming of shitty icos (which i doubt that you have) that would be a MAJOR benefit to the board. However, as I said i don't think this is really going to be possible since I have thought about ways to prevent this and can see no way.
Shows how much you pay attention to my posts because I have suggested several things that would stop things like spam bumping like lower-ranked users not being able to bump threads, threads only being able to be bumped once a day regardless of how many posts are made in them, and also removing the Alt coin board and each individual coin gets there own sub board which would make paid bumping useless. There's probably other things I've suggested too that I can't quite recall right now.
This can likely be explain by THIS REPLY WAS NOT MEANT FOR YOU WAS IT?? so why quoting it as if I am addressing you ??
TLDR
1. I'm "better" than you in all conceivable ways so don't seek to lecture me in a condescending tone on anything.
Megaloz. Are you saying this without any degree of irony?
I have no idea what you are talking about.
2. Remove your sig or find a real project that you believe in that could make a difference in crypto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XGAmPRxV48&feature=youtu.be&t=15If you are a good member then stand up for a fairer system that is more transparent and equal for all persons that will create a true meritocracy and an environment where crypto can flourish. Once i see you supporting that then I will say already that you are a REAL legend (just like me).
Nobody here wants or needs your approval. Everything you do here now is to have a whinge and you're only concerned about yourself rather than other issues (especially non-issues like this).
1. an observable lie for reasons I have already stated. The systems of change will bring change for all persons and my trust abuse that you sanction and support is just a symptom.
SO NOW YOU HAVE ANSWERED A TON OF QUESTIONS I DID NOT ASK YOU?? what about the ones I did ask you???
I see you must missed those out by MISTAKE??
Should I repost them again.
I am not actually grouping you in with the "gang" 100% but still your support of them is beyond doubt. I do not say you are as bad as they are and I have found no wrong doing directly on your part. However wanting to be pals with them so you will willingly support PROVEN liars, PROVEN trust abusers and PROVEN sneaky greedy racist trolling sig spammers using sock puppets and NOW start meriting them is disgusting and not something a mod should be doing.
You are not being objective or you don not understand what is happening here (which i doubt)
Now please answer the ONLY questions that I asked you NOT the questions I answers and questions I was posing for some noob questioning my legitimacy and one of the observably fairest and honest members on this board who is spending his time ensuring this board continues as great as it has been since I found it.
TLDR???
well this is explaining that most of the post he made was in response to questions and statements of truth not even aimed at him at all?
I await answers to his choices as a mod for supporting (including) on a trust system PROVEN dirt bags and not EXCLUDING them and deleting their sigs off as punishment for their vile attacks on honest persons accounts and their sneaky greedy financially motivated spamming ways.
ALSO CREDIT TO HIM FOR (H&C so he knows I mean him)1. suggesting that we could create a system where depending on rank you could reply but it would not bump the thread to the top.
this is a good idea, I really like it.
