[Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

[LoyceV]

LOL, are some of you aware that some of the users who started posting votes in the voting thread in the last few pages are spam posters trying to get some merit easily just citing a few merit source?  

I noticed that too. This high Activity bounty spammer turned Jr. Member because of this post. At least mole0815 noticed it too:

Unfortunately, I overdid it with the merit distribution when there is a mention.

All in all it's only a few Merit amongst thousands of bounty spammers. They can't scale it to many more, if they do it will be noticed.

Pretty much the same thing happened last year so that's why I hoped that members will sustain meriting those that give them votes as it may only bring shitposters who would just about anything for a couple of merits. Then again, some were so lazy that they copied other member's posts word for word, including the typos so they (IIRC) ended up banned, making that voting thread sort of honey pot.

There's another reason why they come to vote without probably knowing any of the names that's been thrown around and that's vouchers of 2 mbtc that 10 lucky voters gonna get.

That won't work for shitposters:

10 vouchers of 2 mBTC each will be randomly drawn. ➥ Note.
~
You must have 50 merit or be a full member or higher to vote ➥ Note.

Highlighting the Notes:

Prizes will be drawn only between those users whose vote will be taken into account
~
OP can, at its discretion, ignore the votes

I just noticed icopress refers to itself als "it"

[Rikafip]

That won't work for shitposters:

Yeah, I am very well aware of the requirements that has to be met to get that voucher but that doesn't mean shitposters are, hence so many came to vote. Hopefully some of them copy/paste other members votes and get rekted.

Almost seems like some people just nominate the ones that have given Merits to other people voting for them.
As bad as it makes me feel, I will also not give any Merits to people voting for me.
Also I am pretty sure the vouchers are an even bigger motivation for them to just vote vor someone.

I see that you are not in my blacklist, listed below. Would you mind if I vote for you? I do not need in additional motivations. It's a matter of honor

This means that we would need to have some two tier voting systems and most of the local sections are not active enough for something like that.
To avoid complications, what we could do is to nominate and select one overall best user for each active local section, for each year, and I would support that idea.
We could also pick one best and most local member from all local sections, or something like that... this could also motivate new members to be more active.

I'm not entirely sure the best way of going about it. I just think it's something that's worth considering for future votes if this was to become a yearly thing for the foreseeable future. The only users that know the best user would be the local communities themselves, so they would have to get their heads together, vote for someone, and then present that to OP.

Though, logistically you're probably right, that narrowing the local section nominations down to "Local section hero" per local section or something along that lines is probably better, than having all roles available for voting per local section.

Almost seems like some people just nominate the ones that have given Merits to other people voting for them.
As bad as it makes me feel, I will also not give any Merits to people voting for me.
Also I am pretty sure the vouchers are an even bigger motivation for them to just vote vor someone.

Undoubtedly, is a factor in some votes. Unfortunately, there's no real way of mitigating it, unless you did votes that were anonymous, however that opens another can of words. Anyway, has stated already it's a drop in the ocean compared to the amount that these users require to rank up. So, its not like someone is going to rank up their alt farm this way or even their account that they just do bounties on.

BTW, who those noname voters? Do you know them?

Dear bitcointalk community. I'm afraid we're being deceived. I'm afraid that this Bitcointalk Community Awards 2021 competiton is muddy. Oh my god, it seems to me that this is a competiton of farms

Just watch how they hand out stacks of merit to their voters

Theymos I think that merit distributing should be banned in this competition! Just look what these cheaters are doing!

[LoyceV]

BTW, who those noname voters? Do you know them?

I've seen BobK71 around, he used to make very interesting posts, until the account changed ownership and became a shitposter.

The more interesting part is why they all make the same mistake in voting for "Cygen". I'm curious how icopress will handle those votes.

[icopress]

I just noticed icopress refers to itself als "it"

For information in nature, there are three types of sexual reproduction: isogamy, heterogamy, and oogamy  

The more interesting part is why they all make the same mistake in voting for "Cygen". I'm curious how icopress will handle those votes.

After blocking the thread, icopress will have to spend at least a day or two counting the votes to be as objective as possible (ignoring the votes of copy-paste, spammers, newbies, and anyone else he sees fit). I would even say that there are rumors that if you do not vote for 🦊, icopress will be very angry and will not count your vote.

Please note... this is not a threat, but just a peaceful and permitted agitation.

That's OK. We don't judge. As long as you don't refer to yourself in the third person, you'll be fine.

... icopress will be very angry and will not count your vote.

Goddamn it!

Why don't you cry on Facktoshi forum? When are you going to realize that no one care about what you say here?

There could be two possiblities.
1. They are alt so had the same spelling
2. They copy and pasted from others and did not realize the wrong spelling.

Good luck LOL

It's up to icopress if he is going to make this voting as annual event, but I think it would be fun to have them on regular basis, or at least every two years.
I hope someone neutral is controlling what icopress is doing, he is becoming very powerful forum member and we know that power can corrupt humans... icopress gang soon?!  
Next thing could be bitcointalk senate, government and politicians of bitcointalk forum.

I would even say that there are rumors that if you do not vote for 🦊, icopress will be very angry and will not count your vote.

Is this counting votes for any gang members or just for supreme ruler of Merit Cycling Club?
I think that I forgot doing that so maybe I have to beg for forgiveness or just edit my post... btw when does the voting closes?

[icopress]

Good luck LOL

Do you think I'm too optimistic?

This event is already annual ... just for a number of reasons, voting began not in December, but at the end of January.

This year, I hope everything will be in order and we will return to the usual December schedule.

I hope someone neutral is controlling what icopress is doing, he is becoming very powerful forum member and we know that power can corrupt humans... icopress gang soon?!  

I'm afraid that's not possible...at least because GazetaBitcoin has reached the limit of bbcode characters in his thread about gangs.  

+ I have already bought binoculars to peep through the keyhole for that gang that is not customary to talk about ... I did not count on new expenses.

Why don't you cry on Facktoshi forum?

LOL. One farmer is revealed: BitcoinGirl.Club

You are doing nothing but spreading hatred all around. You are just a sockpuppet of Facktoshi maybe getting paid a hundred bucks a month from your employer Facktoshi and team. Furthermore, you do not have a character at all for this community.

And I doubt that you are a girl at all

Just a troll under a female nickname

The story behind my nick is somethings you need to find from the history. Of course, I am not a girl you dick head.

Fuck off! It's a waste of time spending time for your nonsense's anymore.

[Bitcoin SV]

LOL. Have you seen it all?

This asshole BitcoinGirl.Club was the first to get on me, and when he was given answer which he deserved he began to crying shamefully "Fuck off! It's a waste of time spending time for your nonsense's anymore"  

What a dumbass

[Rikafip]

Since I see that @Bitcoin SV is fan of memes, gonna try to sum up last couple of pages using something that he may understand (I doubt it, but its worth a shot).
