Could you please explain what the criteria to convince you are? I understand that you don't want everyone to give a free pass. You said it already: I can't give exact criteria because that would make abuse trivially easy. So what's left is a more or less arbitrary decision based on my gut feeling. And while I've whitelisted just over 150 users, I've rejected 3 times more than that. Administrator theymos said about evil fees: the vast majority of accounts that hit it should not be whitelisted. How can I prove that I am innocent and have never done bad things there? You can't. And I have no doubt that some of the 450 rejected users shouldn't have been hit by evil fees in the first place. But I can't whitelist everyone, that will lead to many of them getting banned, which will lead to my whitelisting privileges being revoked, which will mean I can't help anyone anymore. At least I've helped some really good users join the forum, which is why I volunteered for this. Please explain the criteria and how to convince you. You don't have to convince me anymore, there's no need for whitelisting once you've paid the evil fees.

If you post it publicly, Spammers will take benefit from this. About feeling: Does it depends on your mode? Administrator theymos said about evil fees: the vast majority of accounts that hit it should not be whitelisted. I don't have a complaint about this. But, Since theymos said that. He should know: In my country, every time I switch my mobile data off/on. It changes my IP like VPN. I don't know about other countries. This could give me an IP that was used before here. I believe that's not my fault. At least I've helped some really good users join the forum, which is why I volunteered for this. How do you know that they are really good users since most are brand new and newbies? Are they alt-accounts of reputed members, or do you know them anyhow?

I really don't understand how the proxyban works. My first time signing up here, i was welcomed with 'your ip has been used by some users to do something bad - something like that kind of message'. I mean, I'm just a first timer, I've never used the forum, and i don't decide what ip address my ISP gives my device.

About feeling: Does it depends on your mode? Probably ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) In my country, every time I switch my mobile data off/on. It changes my IP like VPN. I don't know about other countries. This could give me an IP that was used before here. I believe that's not my fault. Units of evil also affect neighbouring IPs, so if a lot of abuse comes from a certain ISP, that makes it more likely it has units of evil already. How do you know that they are really good users since most are brand new and newbies? Are they alt-accounts of reputed members, or do you know them anyhow? I'll highlight the Discovery of the Year: I'm just a first timer, I've never used the forum You're a bounty spammer, so I'm pretty sure the proxyban was related to that.

It's username is ALLAH AKBAR.
Please, Please, and please, don't understand " ALLAH AKBAR " wrongly. it just means God is great, i'm sure it's not illegal username. Sadly a lot of people have misconception about such words. Also, i'm a believer and i love saying God is great. Everyone basically can say it, so please don't judge my username. Sorry, I've rejected your email and that didn't change. For what it's worth: the "misconception" is understandable, that phrase is used by terrorists when they kill innocent people. If that's what you want to be associated with, that's up to you.
From now on, I'll stop responding to rejected emails. If you haven't received an email telling you you're whitelisted after a few days, that means I've rejected you. I've sent the same email hundreds of times by now, and want to save some time.

Also, i'm a believer and i love saying God is great. Everyone basically can say it, so please don't judge my username. I am not sure why this post was deleted. LoyceV, Did you report this post? Or maybe this guy deleted himself. I want to say to him; This is not a good choice of username. I know about your religion. I am not sure what your purpose is for using this username. But, This is not a good choice. For what it's worth: the "misconception" is understandable; that phrase is used by terrorists when they kill innocent people. If that's what you want to be associated with, that's up to you.
LoyceV, I am not sure what you have understood from his username and why you think it's terrible. I believe terrorists don't have religion. They use religion to kill innocent people. The word Allah Akbar is an Arabic word. In Arabic, Allah is the name of God of Muslims. Akbar = Great. Most Muslim terrorists use this word before an attack. Also, Two Billion people say Allah Akbar during their prayer. It's a part of the prayer. I also know another thing. Terrorists in India Say "Jay Sri Ram" Before an attack. Jay= Victory, Sri Ram=Name of a God of Hinduism religion. So, If a catholic say "Stora El Elyon" before the attack on innocent peoples, Would you say that phrase should not be used?

But I don't think I deleted it, and can't find it in my modlog archive, so I think he deleted it by himself. Would you say that phrase should not be used? I don't think this is the right place to discuss religion.

Hey! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Yesterday, Sea5ick tried to register an account but he got blocked because he used a VPN to do so because of evil IP. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) His account: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3476779Would be nice if he could be whitelisted. Much appreciated in advance! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I have a question I don't know how all those accounts convince you to whitelist them, but I wonder what's those brand new accounts purpose to get whitelisted? Does their purpose is to send a personal message only? (I read someone who get banned can't send personal message) perhaps when they want to buy something from sellers in this forum, they already contact though the seller's social media and then confirm to chat in this forum, to make sure they doesn't chat with impersonator? Most of accounts you whitelisted are correct since they're not a shitposter, but this account is like a bounty hunter since his first post ask how to earn coin and apply in bounty thread. Are you really whitelist a bounty hunter or he's lied to you?

He's whitelisted now. I don't know how all those accounts convince you to whitelist them, but I wonder what's those brand new accounts purpose to get whitelisted? Does their purpose is to send a personal message only? I don't know, but this is the reason I added statistics: Statistics- Users who never posted: 77
- Total Merit earned: 2407
- Total users banned: 2
Most of accounts you whitelisted are correct since they're not a shitposter, but this account is like a bounty hunter since his first post ask how to earn coin and apply in bounty thread. Are you really whitelist a bounty hunter or he's lied to you? I checked his emails again: I initially rejected his request, then changed my mind. It's a learning experience for me too, I'm trying to find a balance between rejecting some users who shouldn't be whitelisted, and accidentally accepting some others who don't deserve it. I can't be absolutely sure based on an email, but with only 2 banned users (until now) and 2400 Merit earned by whitelisted users, I'd say my Whitelisting efforts are a contribution to the forum.

When I quote someone else (in this case myself) while responding to a quote, I go back to copy the original header instead of continuing with only [ quote]. In this case I scrolled up too far.

Hi! LoyceV, I have another account that was created back in September 2020. I have never posted, and it has some evil points. I have paid some satoshi for this account because it has fewer evil points. I have noticed a lot of people have two accounts. I am not sure what their purpose is. But, if having two accounts is allowed. Indeed I want to take a chance. Let me know if I can have another account. I want to be white-listed. I am not so popular, so I am not sure if I can convenience you.
