JollyGood: an amazing journey becoming Hero member rank on 1st January 2020

[JollyGood]

Congratulations @JollyGood on your rank up, Hero member rank well deserved as you are one of the most active scam busters around! Since I also  invested some time in my short scam busting career, you were one of the members I followed, and i picked thing or two from you.

I have no doubts that you will keep up the good work you did till now!

I had to step away from being active in the scam related threads during the past few months, only posting there intermittently but should be back there soon giving more time and attention so thank you Rikafip for your generous and kind words.

You have been an active part of the forum helping by both contributing with meaningful posts as well as with exposing scams, hopefully you will reach your next rank up (Snr Member) very soon

Great news, JollyGood. If there is someone who deserves to be a Hero member on this forum, you are the one, against all the retaliatory and defamatory feedback you received.

I'm hoping that you will reach Legendary status fast. Unfortunately, I don't have any merits to give.

DT members, please do support him. Like many of you, he is making this forum and the bitcoin world a better place for every bitcoiner and crypto user.

Thank you Coinfan, it is good to read your post. A post such as this one from you is worth more than a thousands merits. A belated happy new year to you.

It is wonderful to see you still standing strong even after all the issues you faced with having a significant amount of your money stolen by the Rock Trading exchange scammers.

I really wish there was some way of helping you trying to get your funds back from the thieves at Rock Trading, those of us familiar with the background of your case supported the flag and contributed in the Scam Accusation thread, the only result we achieved was their representatives going on self-imposed exile from the forum (as well as the Rock Trading exchange being exposed as scammers).

Now we wait until you have news from the Arbiter, I hope the arbitration process will bring rewards for you in that not only will you receive your stolen funds back but we will hear the good news of this trash scam exchange (Rock Trading) being shut down by the Italian authorities.

Congratulations JG! It's nice to see the work you've put in has paid off.

This only shows that never giving up, on getting the goal is being rewarded, you see if you have stop in the middle of it, you may be stilll in a lower bracket , and will be kust getting started to this date, but because you have a goal, you take it slowly and never think of loosing congrats have a good year ahead , and to everyone

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I'm late in commenting here, but I did give JollyGood some merits for his post, which was very good.  I'll have to check his post history from time to time to see what other posts I can merit, because I think he ought to get up to Legendary as soon as he can.  So congrats on getting to Hero, OP.  It's not easy these days to achieve the higher ranks, so it's an accomplishment.

against all the retaliatory and defamatory feedback you received.

Huh.  I don't recall JollyGood being in the center of any drama, but I could have missed it or forgotten.  I'll have to take a peek at his trust page.

DT members, please do support him.

And merit sources, too.  As I said, I'll see what I can do to help out here.

Of course, don't forget, give lots of merits, make legendary, and then sign the chipmixer. whose multi account, who knows?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Since you're in a signature campaign, the only reason you would have to criticize someone in the Chipmixer one is jealousy, and it shows.  As far as the "multi account" comment goes, I don't quite understand what you're getting at.  I'd ask you to clarify this but I have a feeling your response would be just as incoherent as your original comment.

I'm not going to engage in any drama in this thread, so I'll just say this in closing: if you don't like bitcointalk and have problems with members here, why don't you take your circus act over to cryptotalk.org, because I hear it's so much better.

there are 2 types of member here
on your side
not close to you
feed and grow from you but do not think everyone is stupid.

Leave your neutral, moral, virtuous acting. disgusted

Ha ha this is the kind of logic the pharmacist is able to employ. Poor retarded fool. Like there can be NO other explanation. I mean I know pharmacist has claimed HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT SINCE JOINING THIS FORUM IS.......wait for it.....wait for it..........YEP GETTING ON CHIPMIXER SIG SPAMMING CAMPAIGN. Research, you will see this is true. But some people are not bothered about your chipmixer dust for themselves, they just do not want the double standards enforcement crew to be SPONSORED ALMOST ENTIRELY by chipmixer. Dark_star keeps out of politics but actually his actions demonstrate he supports and is willing to sponsor some VERY dangerous members. We have avoided calling him to answer for this to now but really, with all the evidence here against them he perhaps will need to be called on this eventually.

Jollygood "may" be okay at playing whack a mole with small scams.

But wait has jollygood has demonstrated though that he FEARS to tackle DT members who are trying to WORK WITH OR ENABLE SCAMS THAT HE HIMSELF HAS CONFIRMED ARE SCAMS proliferate here. See the mosprognoz should learn thread in rep, also the other one where mosprognoz claims he bullies a SCAM jolly good confirms is a scam to use escrow (happens to just be laudas his pals) and makes other strange suggestions to a SCAM that would enable them to be more "undercover " LOL

Jollygood is also tagging yobit advertisers SO LONG AS THEY ARE NOT DT members. Again double standards. I mean the logic behind not tagging the CM for that campaign is strange. Just tag anyone that pushes them or is involved with them at all. Ban people who push it after their first warning. Or else just admit you will allow scams to be advertised SO LONG as only DT and their pals and Campaign Manager mates can profit from it LOL

Pushing double standards = SCAMMING

You are deceiving people into believing that people should be punished for X behaviors, but you do not. You let your pals and other DT get away with the SAME or SIMILAR crimes for your own personal or FINANCIAL gains. I.E you get to keep on chipmixer route or DT and keep getting the lovely merits.

Debunk these points if you are able to.

Jollygoods trip up the old merit/rank/trust/potential chipmixer ladder would certainly not have happened so quickly should he have been FAIR AND HONEST to all members and not pushed double standards. This is clear. That is why this board is currently FUCKED. It demands gaming/abuse and double standards to succeed.

Fortunately if you have even half a brain you will be able to make FAR FAR FAR FAR more returns financially just from buying up cheap on long bears and dumping on bulls. Patience and research are key. Most should stop selling their ass and morals just for the best sig spamming rates.

He may not be AS bad as those he is scared to hold to his same standards he holds other members too. However being a scared little pussy with them means he is net negative on DT. Get some people on there with some fucking balls like Timelord, TS, OG, my very good self,  and others that WILL hold people to the SAME standards.

Read, understand, accept.

We have on particular issue with jollygood other than he is weak and scared of the same crew LFC_bitcoin and VOD have openly admitted to being terrified of. LOL

Not surprising really that board full of low level nerds are also wimpy 130lb virgins scared of any kind of threat to their accounts or not being part of the popular/scammy meta gang.  Haha

Keep going though jollygood, We hope you wake up soon and realize if you are a REAL scam hunter you must crush scammers at the highest levels of this forum, not  just pick on the weak non DT scammers.

Congratulations JG! It's nice to see the work you've put in has paid off.

Thank you for your support Joel_Jantsen, it is very much appreciated. Next aim to to hopefully keep trying to contribute to the forum and in the process hopefully get to Legendary rank before the end of the year but the end aim has to be able to be active here and try to contribute to the forum as best as I can regardless of ranking. Wishing you a great 2020.

Thank you The Pharmacist.

I appreciate any and all support when it comes my way but when members senior than me offer it (or offer constructive guidance or constructive criticism) it really means a lot and makes it all worthwhile because it puts everything in to perspective.

The few incidents I would cite as involving trolls and those individuals who I would describe as having a rather distasteful petty outlook cannot sour my experiences within this forum but the issues Coinfan referred to were probably about retaliatory trust/feedback in general and also some time back when a moderator from the Italian thread colluded with the Rock Trading (Italian crypto exchange) to try to turn forum opinion against Coinfan and instead supported Rock Trading even though they selective scammed around 80,000EUR worth of crypto from Coinfan thinking they would get away with it. The issue has been dealt with by arbitration for some time as far as I know.

These two links will allow you to understand the issue better but sadly my thread had its images hosted on tinypic so cannot be seen now:

He's got tons of untrusted negative feedback flags with no support, but plenty of opposition.  All signs of a successful scam buster:)

Thank you for your support on my scam accusation. However, I want to make clear that I didn't write my words because of your support.

It's amazing that there are people willing to risk being harassed and defamed for denouncing scams when they have nothing to gain but a clean conscience.

Huh.  I don't recall JollyGood being in the center of any drama, but I could have missed it or forgotten.  I'll have to take a peek at his trust page.

Great to see you supporting JollyGood. For instance, just check 5 untrusted negative feedback he received on about 24h (2019-09-25 and 2019-09-26) after posting against the COINSBIT.EXCHANGE or the 5 negative he received after denouncing Bankera/Spectrocoin (between 2019-09-16 and 2019-09-13). All from controlled/alt accounts from the said "shady" exchanges.

Congratulations - I was just wondering why you have 1,246 UID's on your distrust list?

[JollyGood]

Congratulations - I was just wondering why you have 1,246 UID's on your distrust list?

Thank you for congratulating me.

Well, in the latest trust list I have 1246 users added to my distrust list because I distrust them, I hope that answers your question.

Just to expand a little, I added some more today and they should show up at the weekend update.

Around 15% of those users on my distrust list went on to get banned for one reason or another and most of them were sock-puppets accounts.

Of the remaining 85% I distrust, I would estimate at least 80% are sock-puppets (either for hire via services or created specifically for pumping a particular thread).

The remaining approximate 5% I distrust are those I would cite purely on the basis of their post content as being either scammers, untrustworthy, foul-mouthed, condescending, disingenuous, trolls or maybe have shown other attributes or characteristics that make them in my opinion worthy of being added to my distrust list.

I question whether the internet really expands Dunbar's number or not?  Sure Dunbar's number is an estimate of the number of people with who we can maintain real relations for the real world, and some societal dynamics on the interwebs are just different, so we get to know a lot more people in different ways.  Of course if there are signs that they are a bot or disingenuine, then that might be apparent with little to no evidence.  Surely, there are some users with whom it becomes obvious, right away, that they are kind of a phony or a scammer.... Many others, it remains a lot less clear regarding whether they are genuine and/or not a bot, especially on the interwebs.

Of course, if you meet a real person in a social circle, you are going to be using different criteria to determine whether they are someone that you trust, and so far in the real world, we can usually rule out the bot aspect without even giving the matter more than 2 seconds of thought...

For example, meeting someone in person (let's call him Fred), and talk for about a minute or so, and after about 30 seconds, you have both ruled that Fred is not a bot (after about 2 seconds) and after about an additional 28 seconds, you have ruled that Fred seems a bit retarded.. at least a first impression...   You may go up to a trusted friend (let's call him Rob) and say, hey Rob, do you believe that Fred is a bit retarded?   After Rob engages you on the topic, you provide some additional information for your first impression conclusions, and thereafter Rob might give you information that either confirms or contradicts your first impression, and your then tentative conclusion might be based upon more than just your own 30 seconds of interacting with Fred.....

JollyGood is a very valuable member of this forum and you really deserve to be rewarded for what you have achieved.
Achieving the rank of Hero Member in 2020 is your highest increase and you are also one of the DT 1 members.

That ranking is very appropriate for you, because you are fighting the scam project by clearly analyzing the scam project and dismantling everything.
You are trusted by many other members in this forum, many of whom give positive trust in your work to fight scam projects.

Even the Signature that you use is the signature of several fraudulent projects that you successfully revealed, this is truly extraordinary. With Hero Hero ranking you should get a reward by joining the signature campaign that pays you, but you choose to use your own signature. Good job

You raise an interesting point about interactions and conclusions.

For me, if someone fits the criteria in the forum that in my opinion shows they are scammers, untrustworthy, foul-mouthed, condescending, disingenuous, trolls or maybe have shown other attributes or characteristics that make them in my opinion worthy of being added to my distrust list - then that is enough.

In the concept of Robin Dunbar and his Number, how would I react using this forum as a comparator? Away from the internet, (in real-life) I have no idea about all the permutations, probabilities or possibilities but the general rule I would implement is almost the same because I would be inclined to distance or limit myself from those that I deem to be untrustworthy or worse.

Even that 150 number that is widely used as a measure would have to be analysed to understand what it entails. Even if there were a social circle of 150 people many of them would be grouped in to varying levels of trust and being trustworthy.

Thank you for the kind words taufik123, they are far more than I deserve. Our forum has many wonderful users contributing in their own way. There are far more active, effective and articulate users here than me, having said that I appreciate your support.



 

[Coinfan]

Since I have JolyGood on my trust network, only now I realized that he is now a DT member.

Congratulations on this much deserved achievement. Scammers better watch out. You will save many potential victims with your tags.

We all know how power changes many people on a negative way. This applies also to DT members, some have used their power of tagging just because of personal antipathies. I bet Jollygood won't be one of them.
