OP, your main account does not currently show me any warning banners on your threads—not the red banner, and not the yellow newbie warning banner from a logged-out browser. I don’t know why... Have you checked recently? More about you below; but first, let’s illustrate some of what I have to say about your banner problem, with the example of a point about me!
:-)SIMILAR actions are of course on topic as a precedent and for obvious comparison.
Anyway I digress. When will the banners say [...]
Or if you dont like those put - some members believe this person is a CUNT.
AWESOME! 🧨I am officially lobbying
thermos @theymos! to put that banner
* at the top of all my threads,
and to sticky
suchmoon’s troll thread in Reputation. To drive home the point, he should administratively override the “NSFW” rule, and add to the banner a
real-life photograph of a cunt (shaved, lips spread). Make it official:
“nullius is a cunt”!(* Border #c0809c, background #faf0ef, though perhaps it could use a few tweaks. I need to consult some Pantone charts for cunty colours, and/or take some colour samples of skin and genitalia from porn.)Actually, I would not be wholly surprised if this somehow works its way into thermos’ April Fool’s joke a few months hence...
And seriously, it is a classic (or should I say, an
anticlassic) of gutter-minded low cultural standards. It is a thread of sociological and psychological significance, which should be studied as doctors study cancerous tumours. Oh, and by the time it is through, suchmoon will die of sheer humiliation over it. She trolled herself as hard as the goatse man sitting on a traffic cone.
When Robovac
(label says “Made in Switzerland”, but it’s actually assembled in Switzerland from parts made in Vietnam) says to “have a thick skin”, he obviously doesn’t mean for people to have a thick skin
and sharp claws toward suchmoon. Whoops.
—By the way, I note that suchloon has now changed her little spam pic for
her object of passionate obsession, Mr “cryptocunt”.
pwned! A few minutes with potrace, and some creativity... It can be fixed.
The foregoing conceptually illustrates a question for OP:
Why do you care?If you are being principled about defamation, well—Lauda was principled about defamation, so you are learning from her. Lauda fought suchmoon about this, because Lauda red-tagged for defamation, and self-appointed DT
cheerleader suchmoon has decreed that red tags must be trade-related.
(...and all the while, suchmoon uses “neutral” tags to defame people and/or cast them in a false light...)Thus if you want to stop defamation, to have a consistent standard, you need to join in the legacy of Lauda’s fight to make sure that DTs can tag defamers without risking DT exclusion.
Therefore, difference in opinion =/= defamation =/= malicious trolling and other bullshit. The latter two are inherently untrustworthy, and suchmoony I am sorry but that is just real life.
Whoops. Your main account has a Lauda tag for defaming Lauda.
:-/Trusted feedback| Lauda | 2019-04-04 | Reference | Falsely claims that I am a scammer, in addition to threatening me with consequences for speaking out against this user. Highly untrustworthy to say the least. |
I cannot see the reference link; archive.fo started Google-CAPTCHAing Tor users sometime last year, even at their onion, and I refuse those Google CAPTCHAs. If anyone could provide me the original link, or an archive.org link, that would be appreciated so that I can see exactly what happened when I was gone in 2018–19. No, I don’t want for cryptohunter to repeat himself: I want to see archival content represented by the archive.fo link. Thanks.Now, let’s not derail this thread and its highly productive discussion into an argument over Lauda. I knew Lauda better than that—she was not at all a “scammer supporter”; and the last time that I earnestly tried to chase down the “evidence” that one of your presumed alts presented of Lauda’s being a “scammer supporter”, all I found was that years ago, when she was a total n00b, she bought into a scammy altcoin which, a few years later, she herself called a scam. So many n00bs get sucked into scammy altcoins—it is why n00bs need to be warned about such scams, with tags and flags.
Let’s talk about you.
So, besides principles, what other reasons could there be for you to fear using your main account on account of its trust ratings... hmmm...
You claim to have millions of dollars worth of bitcoins, Lambos that can pull
heavily loaded horse trailers (
lulz!), etc., etc. Taking what you say at face value, some red paint really can’t harm you financially.
Can it?You condemn sigspamming. As a practical matter, the most popular complaint about red trust is, “Oh noes, now I can’t get the best campaigns and richest bounties!!” I guess you don’t care about that.
Why not do what Quickseller does: Ignore the trust ratings, and just do your thing with your main account. I actually admire his balls, the way he keeps going like that. There is even something noble about it: “I am me, and you won’t change my identity!”
Nowadays, every new post by Quickseller is essentially a big fuck-you to everyone who still red-trusts him. He has shown evidence of good character, and he hasn’t done anything bad in a long time; his DT rating will eventually thus become a joke to the smarter regulars—if DT members don’t eventually revise their tags and their flag support, sooner or later. Lately, I have indeed been chuckling whenever I open a Quickseller thread in a logged-out browser, and see the big banana above his OP.
Anyway, every intelligent user who reaches above Newbie rank will build a trust list that excludes at least
a two or three
dozen score DT1s. So they will not see even a
hypothetical? red banner on you, unless you got in trouble with someone wise and judicious, such as Lauda. (Admittedly, you may be in trouble!)
Any-anyway, every intelligent user uses the trust system as a guide, not as the all-important Source of Revealed Truth. This is not to denigrade the importance of stopping bad tags, but have some perspective about using your main account. If you have a reputation with longtime users on the forum, and a big post history, then intelligent users will take everything into account: Your trust page, and otherwise. (Admittedly, you may be in
big trouble.)
If
(hypothetically) the trust ratings on you were
all just
totally wrong, then I would agree with you that the banner is unjust, and it should be somehow removed. But let’s talk first in practical terms—and in terms of refined, intelligent discourse that even suchmoon could understand:
Why do you give a fuck?
A challenge to OP: Continue this discussion using your main account! It will actually upset suchmoon.
Perhaps then, since your Legendary account can’t be called a “n00btroll”, it may be accused of being someone else’s alt. If you are very lucky, you may become Lauda’s alt like me. But I doubt you have earned that. Anyway, it is a forum tradition...
We're all alts of TC. This is all a dream, and everyone is dead when TC wakes up.
You don’t need to acknowledge the link between accounts, which is often an unwise policy. (When a user is accused of being a sock account,
admitting when it is
true leads people too much to demand
denial when it is
false; and I am well on record as being against inquisitions that coerce people to deny false accusations without evidence.) Perhaps cryptohunter got bored with his Lambos, decided to check what’s happening on the forum, and noticed that OP here is highly intelligent and in need of support. #justsaying
Those that issue merit from their ass get to control the free speech, trading and income of every person on the forum now.
I agree with you that the selection of merit sources is badly implemented, and some merit sources behave irresponsibly.
I think that merit source privileges should be subject to periodic review—and “unapplications”, in case of those who
systematically abuse source merits as a political tool to build their own meatpuppet armies.(Pro tip cryptohunter: Next time you want to argue with DireWolfM14, try calling him a
meatpuppet instead of... the usual. Wikipedia links add authority,
especially Wikipedia links about Wikipedia adminstrative policies and community standards. —Also, point out
evidence that when DireWolfM14 makes alt account accusations, they are sometimes so bizarre that either he must be taking LSD like nutildah, or he must be mentally retarded—and either way, he is a superannuated child. —If you stop defaming Lauda, and stop following the suchmoon/nutildah playbook of following around users they dislike with troll off-topic personal attacks, maybe you can even become my fan!)
But with that said, let us examine some empirical evidence of
just how much certain users can control others via the merit system.
I noticed that
this account, whose post history reflects that it must be my #0 fan,
attained the Member-rank requirement of 10 merits in just over 46 hours after account registration—when some particular DTs and merit sources seem to hate it for some reason!
Check the post history. 6 of those merits came from OgNasty’s tests of competence for basic signing and encryption. But 4 of those merits were purely from writing good posts (
for example), and it now has 6 merits for good posts. If sufficient effort were
wasted applied, it could obviously become Legendary just as fast as activity allows.
The drama-queen popularity contest players can’t stop meritorious users from getting merits!
Those that issue merit from their ass get to control the free speech,
I don’t see this user’s free speech being controlled by the merit system:
If you're ONLY here, or MAINLY here for signature campaign, then you should go away. You are spammer.
Everybody should stay away from the shitcoin bounties.
[...]
If good user here for discussion, then rank up and merit will happen naturally. Don't even think about how to do it! (unless, lolz, you are like me, Newbie want to post noncommercial images with no paying for Copper account... stupid restrictions only made because of spammers and other abusers! Less than 24 hours after signup, I already got 1 merit I need... this is my 14th post, next activity period starts in hour and a half... I will post images freely, starting in about two weeks from now.
)
Best users are those who DO NOT CARE too much about mere status symbols = rank and merit. (Same like in the rest of life.)
Despite nutty nutildah following it around with off-topic personal attacks:
So this is what you want to do with your life now, is it nullius? Shit on newbies for being poor and wanting to find work? We've just reached ATHs and you started a
second third account to lambaste those who just got here for not knowing what this place is all about...
Give it a rest, man. You don't own this forum. Theymos has explicitly stated multiple times he thinks its cool that the forum can provide a source of income for those who may not otherwise be exposed to many opportunities. If you don't like it, go start your own forum.
—which assuredly violates this standard:
It seems like the concept of off topic isn't clicking, or you disagree with the concept. If the Original Post of the topic is not what you are discussing, it isn't allowed. Moderators will give reasonable consideration to posts on very strongly related topics, but regardless of how important or true a post you make is, if it isn't on topic, its getting deleted.
For the record, I think that the trust system is broken. I have been expressing my criticism of what I call “democratic DT” since about 76 hours after I returned to the forum at the beginning of this year; and I have described the change from old DT to new DT as “out of the frying pan, into the fire”.
In my opinion, this was the most plausible solution ever suggested; but it no longer exists:
1 month Kitty admin and this place will be booming with innovation again.
I don’t necessarily agree or disagree with the points in OP here. Partly from my own opinions, and partly in the manner of devil’s advocate, I am simply trying to engage CH in a constructive discussion. I have been intending to try to engage him in a serious discussion. The only holdup is that he is purportedly busy with his millions, and I am busy with a book
(LOL at the concept blurred as “NSFW”).
also, [size=100pt]I am not named after "The-One-Above-All"!!![/size]
