[POLL]Dear Forum Administration, Merit Question

[irfan_pak10]

I am curious why would one logout

Why not?

That's what I am trying to understand, why one is usually used to logout from a bitcointalk account or any other media if he/she owns the device he used to log in.

Do TOR keep you logged in after closing the browser? I don't have idea about if it can be kept logged in by any way; at least I have no such known way.

Actually using chrome with a VPN.

Cool poll brother, it actually took me a while to select my answer, but finally I got it right, I think!

I have a different question: why do you even log out?

I am curious why would one logout, this is just my thought. It's been 3 year I believe I logout from this forum.

There is a logout button and people sometimes press it by mistake, so it gets logged out.  

By the way, the poll results are getting interesting.

Do I understand right that there is no way to know which posts were merited? No tools to track who has merited you and for what. That's really sad, that'd be great to know!

You understand incorrectly. There are a number of tracking tools available internally, and externally from the forum. Here are just some them internally:

Variety of site wide metrics: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit
Your personal merit page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1550857

Your personal merit page will show you merit you have received, and sent recently. If you would like to check another users recent merit history you can check via the "Merit" link in their profile view. You can also amend that link I gave you, and replace your username ID with theirs. What this thread is discussing is the fact that the merit page isn't visible to those that aren't registered on the forum.

I have a different question: why do you even log out?

I use  multiple browsers. I tried switching solely to duck duck go and/or Firefox but can’t help but still use chrome. Chrome is not very “trustworthy”, of course, but good luck searching for btalk stuff (or damn near anything for that matter) via the duck duck browser and others. If I want to find “ satoshi escrow bitcointalk.org post” , chrome brings it up top link. Duck duck’s first few results are of Craig Wright claiming that he, “Satoshi” , never even posted on bitcointalk.

I and I’m sure others active  on the marketplace boards would like to have their full profile viewable with out having to log in.  As a “collector”, I buy/sell/trade on all sorts of sites and forums. My eBay and btalk user profiles are a way to help  “prove” my trustworthiness with a potential trade partner. This is my selfish reason.

Non-selfish reason: Scammers need to be exposed. Plenty of scammer companies have profiles here. Imo it’s important to expose them as much as humanly possible. A public forum profile trust page is one way to be sure!  

(Edit: I too have many times wished the same for viewable merit as well).
