1 merit per applicant who find qualifying posts or topics on Scam Related Issues

[tbct_mt2]

I did not check all applications for the second week of the contest, but I would like to say that all applicants should read the note (that I just recently added into the OP). In fact, you should self-understand it, but I added into OP today to make the contest clearer a bit, and to avoid any complaint in the future.

Please visit my topic, Collection of comprehensive guides on identify and avoid scam projects, in order to see all current listed topics before posting your suggestion. Your suggested topics will be wasteful if they already listed in my topic.

Next checkday is 23th of April, the second round of the contest.

3. YoloBull, you win due to this blog post: The 4 Traits of a Successful Masternode Project. The blog post is not a perfect one, but it actually contains some valuable points, that help you win.
For the rests, I am sorry because your suggested topics are not relevant to my contest, or not contentful, helpful enough to win. Please feel free to try your luck next time.
I changed the rule again:

• Maybe most of current available topics have been collected here, so next joiners should make own efforts to create their own posts or topics to apply the contest.

I will try to keep the contest alive, but when I have no single sendable merit, the contest will be closed for new participants.
Check day for the third week of the contest is 30th April.
Good luck.

Because I created the topic, Collection of comprehensive guides on identify and avoid scam projects, weeks ago. Today, I have 13 sendable merits in total which I can send them to others. So, I have intention to help lower rank users with those 13 sendable merits. I hope that I can help you with 1 sendable merit for each qualifying applicant.

Requirements:
1. Finding or creating your own good posts or topics on scam finding/ investigation techniques or guides, and share links here.
You will have greater chance to get 1 sMerits if you applied with topics, but good posts might be counted some how. Don't worry about it, I will verify your application. To get what kind of topics I prefer, you should spend a little time to visit my topic above, to see all current listed topics in my collection.
2. I aslo check your post history to see the general quality of your posts, and your general contribution to the forum. If your posts have acceptable quality, it means you have higher chances to win the contest and get rewards from me.

I changed the rule again:

• Maybe most of current available topics have been collected here, so next joiners should make own efforts to create their own posts or topics to apply the contest.

Rewards:
Only one sendable merit will be send to one qualifying applicant.

Acceptable ranks:
From Newbie to Junior Member ranks.
I focus on those ranks because crypto newcomers, and lower rank users are among the most vulnerable ones to scam projects. By finding good posts, topics on scam related things, they can help themselves first to avoid investing into scam projects, then help others as well.

Application form:
Please apply with the form like this:

Code:

[url=link]Topic title[/url]

Available sendable merit fund:
13 sendable merits. However, the fund might change if I have more.

Regularly check point
I will check all your applications and send rewards to someone who qualifying each seven-day period. So, feel free to leave applications here, and wait for results for each 7-day period.


Please visit my topic, Collection of comprehensive guides on identify and avoid scam projects, in order to see all current listed topics before posting your suggestion. Your suggested topics will be wasteful if they already listed in my topic.

Good luck to you all.

its actually not about scam or nonscam there are now many more things

failure, because of lazyness

failure because of lack of funding

failure becuase of higher power preventing success etc.

i doubt these classifications will work

Thank you @tbct_mt2, was a pleasure to share my work and get the award of 1 merit.

...For the rests, I am sorry because your suggested topics are not relevant to my contest, or too short to win...

You are right that most of the posts published by other members are not relevant to this contest because I checked a couple of them (to know the concurrence  ) and found that a lot of them don't match to the requirements.

I assume people are just lazy and don't read the first post fully or at all only a thread subject and the latest posts before they publish an answer and that is why almost all of them are not as requested.

Anyways, I am happy that the concurrence was so weak because I won and that's what matters to me.

A little selfish? Maybe yes but that's the truth and I can't change it.

[tbct_mt2]

The third week passed without a single application, so I bump the topic and wish that the fourth week will have applications and winners.

All the fours are not yours, so they won't be accepted to consider. Rules of the contest changed after the second week.
You won't get rewards from me today, but you are likely not a shitposter, so I will keep watching you. Generally, you should increase your postquality much higher, then let's see what's next.

I have a suggestion.

Maybe this thread would be more alive and many more members will be interested even in creating brand new threads only for this purpose if the award would be higher.

Let's say 5 merits.

I was the winner of one of the editions and know that I expected more merits despite there is 1 merit in the thread topic.

People are like that, we always want more and maybe this is something to consider.

This is just a suggestion because I see this thread catch no attention lately after a good start.

I am very happy with my one merit and appreciate it.

I don't want to give away merits in a bunch because there are traps of fake constructive users. I think 1 merit is motivational gift enough for newbies. For higher rank, it plays as minor gift.
For coming visitors, please don't spam the topic to get activity point.
