WHERE IS TMAN? for 1 month of inactivity 🤔🤔

[andulolika]

I believe he is butthurt because his ratings, can't accept it. Or probably he is working on some alt account.

In England a "swede" is a colloquialism for a country bumpkin. It refers to the root vegetable, and not the country of Sweden by the way.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Should we all still go through everyone account to see if they are still active and if not ask a question about it?

No, but it's natural for some people to wonder where a colorful member like TMAN has gone off to--especially when you hear about situations like Bruno's.  He did a wonderful thing by announcing his permanent departure IMO, but that's not something 99.999% of people would even think to do.

He's disappeared for long stretches of time before, as have other established members like Lauda, Vod, hilariousandco, and Quickseller if I'm not mistaken.  I wouldn't worry until it's time to worry, if you know what I mean.

I spoke to Tman today, he's fine. He'll be calling every one of you 'cunts' before you know it.

That's great to hear. Eagerly waiting to see his activity on this forum again. As i have already shared my own feelings that he may spending good time with his family or having personal workload issues. More or less it's already proven that there is a good amount of well wishers for TMAN on this community who really missed him during his inactivity period.

Sometime little break helps us to restore fresh energy for future works. Specially for them who love to spend lonely time by putting everything closed. For me i always think to spend 1 week without using mobile and Wifi but its pretty much hard to spend a single day. In one word life is too much technology centered now.

That's  a load off.  Great to hear tman will be back soon.
Tourettes is seldom fatal.
Bet he'll have some bargain coins for sale soon that he may buy himself if he can get a good deal on them.

Good old Tman.
Thanks for the update. Can't wait for him to return.

I'm glad to hear this news, can you give a screenshot of your chat with TMAN?
I have no bad intention by making a thread about the existence of TMAN and its current condition, I'm just worried and this is very reasonable.

Disappear with a long time, like other members who are active in this forum. But I am worried and my concern is caused by this pandemic, because this is a disaster that is spreading throughout the world.

Personally I don't have a problem with TMAN, but I only care about its existence.

Second that since it's not new. Sometimes he take rest and sometimes he become more active, so I was familiar about his online/offline behavior (but I noticed about inactivity).

Glad to hear he is fine, hope all forum members will be safe on current situation.

Just missed some special words from TMAN during this inactivity

[LTU_btc]

As other people mentioned, it's pretty much common thing for TMAN. He don't spend 365 days in year on forum. It's frequent thing that he don't post for few weeks on months.
OP, I understand that you had good intentions and was concerned about TMAN, but I'm not sure making threads about users who become inactive is needed. Unless they gone very strangely and questionable. People have life outside forum, so it's understandable that they disappear sometimes.

Need to be clear again, I made a thread about TMAN which is not active because it is the current situation that really makes me have to make this thread.

Inactive users do have their personal lives like TMAN.

this is nothing new, Maybe he is resting and is sometimes active as @Coolcryptovator says.

But this Corona pandemic outbreak makes all the difference.

Hopefully this pandemic will end soon and TMAN can immediately comment on this thread,
because he is the main topic at the moment.

Yeah, current situation in the world is strange and worrying. So, I understand that when user disappear during these strange times, it raises questions like in your post. But as already said, it's common thing for TMAN that he "disappear" sometimes. But now it's good to know that he is fine.

Great news. I did also noticed his absence and start s thread here asking about his absence before this topic being moved from Meta. I like Tman and am glad he is doing fine.
The problem with his absence is that Tman is a dt member and when one of his feedbacks need to be revised, there is no one who can help but Tman himself. See the case of bestchange user where only the feedback of Tman didn't changed despite the case subject of tag has been resolved. Maybe it's not a big issue but i think dt members should be always active as their feedbacks is publicy shown and may need updates.

Yes, I forget this, about TMAN's position as a member of DT2 who does its job to filter and prevent scams that occur in the forum.
DT members must always be active to monitor the state of the forum.
If TMAN continues to be inactive and not doing its job, it is likely that TMAN will be removed from the DT2 list.

I am pretty sure that there are no attendance requirements in regards to DT2, but there are attendance requirements in regards to DT1, so you seem to be mixing up DT2 requirements as if they were the same as DT1 requirements, no?

That's a huge relief.  I have not yet had the pleasure of being the subject of his poetry, and I am looking forward to the day.

All kidding aside, I'm glad to hear he's fine.  Best wishes to him and his loved ones.

For the feedback to show up on DefaultTrust, it doesn't matter if TMAN is on DT1 or DT2, and with his current DT2 strength 10, he won't drop out any time soon.

I am not sure what you mean by "DT2 strength 10."  I did not see that information in the linked page that you provided.   Am I supposed to click on one of the links within BPIP to see DT2 strength?

It seems that I have heard of the concept of DT strength before, but I cannot really remember what it means.

Hover your mouse above "DT2" on BPIP. Or see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dt, where it shows "TMAN (10)".
DT strength is the number of DT1 inclusions minus DT1 exclusions, which means it's a measure for how many users are needed to toggle a user's DT-status.

[GazetaBitcoin]

If I'm not mistaking, the DT strength shows how many others support a fellow DT member and how many oppose to his / her presence in the DT group. If the user has a negative ratio, he is removed. If he is is DT1 and he has negative ratio, he is demoted to DT2 and so on.

[LoyceV]

If he is is DT1 and he has negative ratio, he is demoted to DT2 and so on.

That's incorrect. If someone on DT1 has more exclusions than inclusions from other DT1-members, he's effectively excluded from DT1. That means his feedback is no longer shown by default and he can't vote for other DT2-members, but he can still vote for (or against) other DT1-members.
The only way to get "demoted" from DT2 is by losing the monthly "lottery" (like me this month), or by being blacklisted by theymos (this could be at your own request or involuntary).

I am looking and I can't believe my eyes.
LoyceV in DT2 due to damn lottery odds.
I am surprised nobody made new topic about this event yet

PS
Nice to hear TMAN is good
