This shitty Merit System has ruined Bitcointalk and made it like Facebook

[Vod]

theymos does not care because he make 5000 BTC from this website. He has long since abandoned the bitcoin community after satoshi handed it to him and enjoys his selfish lavish lifestyle

Do you forget about all the stolen coin he refuses to help go after because of his "Non-legal, non-violent" attitude?

I seem to agree with some of your points though, but merit system was introduce and implemented to solve the certain problems which was the easy rank up of accounts even without contribution to the forum as before it was only activity that matters.

This system is not perfect, but don't blame it to the merit system why others are easily getting a spot in a campaign. I'm sure some managers are not stupid enough to just solely based on the merit system, as far as I see, they also evaluate the post quality of applicants, and some campaign managers does not even require a merit from them to apply, so it does not make sense why we blame the merit system.

[nhingjhun]

We low quality posters had already accept the fact, that we are not eligible for ranking up what ever we may do.
If it is all about earning?..  we were just focus about the bounties on the altcoins so many opportunities than signature campaigns that paying btc.
 Also signature campaigns now a days requires Merit earn counts in their previous months,  which is impossible for us to have. 
P. S it's hard to make a posts when your goal was for begging merits 

[Murpheus]

I don't think anyone would go to the extent of creating hundreds of accounts to give back sMerit to his main account and then repeat this process without being caught. Besides the tremendous amount of work that implies, with the time that you wasted doing that you could had created some really helpful posts :p
But I'm open to debate on that issue. Do you have any proof that supports your claims?

EDIT: Ah! I've just told you a secret of mine on my 100th post! Congrats to us!

I agree with you on this one...
I own 3 different Facebook account....
actually I was planning 20 fake accounts....
so I can use them to share my post from original post...
crazy idea....
I realize it would be bullshit and Not worth it at all...
and someone creating many BTT account??
thats some stress....
I mean already I read more than 20 posts here in a week...
And I can hardly comment on any....
because I don't relate to 98% of it...
and I can't fake an interest all in the name of activities...
by the way my activities to merits is getting ugly....
So I rather do like the wise man and say "nothing" at all....
IMO tho...
there are others who would be desperate enough

I swear to god....
but am no shit poster...
I just give up trying to rank up, and bounties are just fucked up....
I will just look for posts which are interesting for me

There is no fixing the merit system without full reset.
While there is huge financial incentive to game merit and it is wide wide wide open to abuse..

Guess what will happen.

Earning merits is not impossible, dude.  But when you admit to stuff like this:

We low quality posters had already accept the fact, that we are not eligible for ranking up what ever we may do.

You're pretty much admitting that you don't put any effort into your posts and don't want to do the work required to make your posts merit-worthy.  That's on you.  And I'm assuming your first language isn't English, but there are merit sources on a lot of the local boards that can be of help....if you put in the effort.

But on signature campaigns, it's entirely different. People try making high quality posts, otherwise they won't be accepted in future campaigns. At least this is the way I see it.

Depends on the signature campaign and the campaign manager.  If you have a very selective campaign like Chipmixer, you're going to get some of the best posters on the forum, and it's run by a firm but fair manager, DarkStar_.  Other campaigns have been known to let spammers/shitposters in, and there's very little oversight.  But I would agree that bounties are full of idiots posting nonsense nonstop, and the bounty managers generally don't seem to care all that much.

Lol. This persons post history clearly debunks his own points above.

Ask him to present his 10 best original thought inspiring posts that resulted in any meaningful changes here?
Ask him what his biggest achievement here is ( he said it was getting on to a highly paid sig campaign)

Then ask him who HugeBlackWoman is aka his alt he got busted for sneaky greedy sig spamming crap for the highest rates he could get.

Then how does someone with zero achievements, zero original thought inspiring posts that made any lasting difference here end up on FT1, one of the highest merit earners ever and spamming the highest paying sigs??

Think about that.

Why do think he wants to tell you how credible the merit system is  lol

If this place was a meritocracy he would remain on newbie for eternity.  The thought of paying for his misleading, self serving regurgitated slobbering is laughable.

Research and see for yourselves. This person is a fucking scammer supporting shit posting fool. Contrast that with his merit score and sig spam pay rate.  Merit Is working great he says.

I see.. I should not be contented being a loser here.
You're right English wasn't our mother tounge, but it's not impossible to improve my English skills here. I assume that there were so many errors on my vocabulary, but atleast some of you can understand the way I deliver my thoughts.
I ADMIT INSTEAD OF PRETENDING ITS BETTER THAT WAY

Stop grovelling around eating ass dreaming of chipmixer.

You sig makes me laugh.

Now debunk the valid points raised or fuck off.

I'm trying to go easy on you here whilst remaining polite.

1. Specifically isolate and present the bullshit you're referring to.
2. Tell me you will stick around for a transparent debate on your claims.

Or

Slink away like the bitch I suspect you are.

Enough of conflating the observable truth with bullshit.

You're not gonna drag me into your bullshit. Now, have a nice day, poor little troll. And thanks for proving my point.

Consider this:  OG and Theymos have already made hundreds of millions.  It might be in their best interests to have the forum overrun with (paid) trolls to shut it down and have time erase evidence.  

On topic:  Merits used to be a way to control spammers.   Now it's evolved to Theymos letting OG choose who gets 4 merits for signing a message.

I'm a newbie compared to you, but I've been reading your posts lately. The ones with the OG Nasty accusations. Can you provide me the link/text that made you think these people have made hundreds of millions?

Amicably.

But I would agree that bounties are full of idiots posting nonsense nonstop, and the bounty managers generally don't seem to care all that much.

Shouldn't the manager be responsible for those people's spamming activity?

[Vod]

Sure.     Last image in my signature.   Og paid out a 1% reserve fund, embezzling at least 2,600 BTC - worth $130,000,000 today.  That doesn't include the forked coins he stole while holding the forum funds, or the dozens of bitcoin Theymos paid him while scamming, or new thefts I'm recently discovering.    But ironically, OG provided the best nail in his coffin when he posted, "Selling shares without SEC permission is illegal."

Shouldn't the manager be responsible for those people's spamming activity?

Managers may be in desperate times as well, accepting any scammer that applies.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Sure.     Last image in my signature.   Og paid out a 1% reserve fund, embezzling at least 2,600 BTC - worth $130,000,000 today.

By the same reasoning, in 2030, he'll have stolen billions of dollars. But he didn't. I don't know if he stole anything, but seeing the number 2,600 BTC doesn't mean that he made a fortune. IF he sold them today, he'd have made that amount.

I took a look on the thread, but it seemed like two bald men fighting over a comb. I can't know who's right and who's wrong. I just talk objectively.

As for theymos, I don't want to believe such thing...

That's been the typical response so far - you obviously couldn't see the ponzi in the format I have, so when I have time I'll fix.

As for theymos, I don't want to believe such thing...

I guess it is possible he was incompetent and unaware of the scams.   The courts will need to decide.  :/

Lol at this turd munching moron.

I ask him to validate his claims and specify the details of what he is claiming is bullshit publicly so we can debate it.

He runs away screaming troll.

Hahaha

And then he said ....thanks for proving his point ...hahahah

[Vod]

A troll is someone who posts under an anonymous name because they are afraid. 

Thanks for proving his point OG.

Give vod some merits for that one. That was a brilliant post vod.

An undeniably incorrect definition of trolling. Satoshi was a troll vod says.
An incorrect assumption of alt
An incorrect assumption of proof, based on the prior 2 incorrect assumptions

Now this is the gold standard of DT logic and reason . They love splattering merit on these types of shit posts.

Lets not get off topic with 2 fools that make claims ranging from undeniably false to the absurd then screaming troll and told you so to anyone that challenges them to produce the evidence that you wish to examine  in a transparent and public manner.

How have these low functioning drooling plebs achieved any merits ?

I mean how could such minds produce anything other than negative value in terms of locating the truth or the optimal solution.

[Vod]

You are a merit source OG - do it yourself.
