AI Spam Report Reference Thread

[Dark.Look]

@Dark.Look as for the list you mentioned, someone had made a list several pages ago, distinguishing who's still active/inactive/banned. I also remember that we did a quick check-up on the active ones to see if they were still using AI. Perhaps I'll make a list of the most recent ones (last 15-30 pages) tomorrow, if I have the time available.

Thanks. Your work means a lot, and this way we can recognize the people who usually post AI-generated content. Maybe we can add the list to the first post of this topic in @nutildah's post, which can make it easier to find.

Pakistan's performance in the recent match against New Zealand was disappointing. Pakistan's batting problem is a long-standing one. Cricket is about winning through the combined efforts of 11 players, and one or two players in a team cannot win by playing well. However, cricket is unpredictable, and with the right mindset, strategy, and teamwork, Pakistan can bounce back in future matches. The key is better planning, strong mental resilience, and a collective effort from the entire team. However, winning this series may be difficult.

Talk about Al Nassr's recent performances against Al Hilal are valid. Historically, Al Hilal has maintained a dominant record in their encounters, with 33 wins compared to Al Nassr's 14, alongside 16 draws. However, it's noteworthy that Al Nassr secured a significant victory over Al Hilal in the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup final, winning 2–1 after extra time to claim their first title in this competition. ​

The club's management has been proactive in enhancing the team's competitiveness, exemplified by the acquisition of high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo.

I decided to come up with a list with the most recent caught spammers (up to 15 pages long), I started with page 39, November 2024. That's more than 16 pages and up to 6 months worth of reports, I would go even further back, but that would require hours. I've made two basic categories, active users with post activity of the last 30 days, and inactive or banned accounts. I've also added links to each account if anyone wants to do a further checkup, from a quick look I took, I saw some suspicious posts.

I've also added the rank next to each name, and have conjoined the two ranks, Brand New and Newbie together, as some newbie accounts have been nuked and return to the Brand new rank.

In total, since November 2024, a total of 112 users have been reported, 58 of them are active and 54 of them inactive or banned.

Here's the breakdown (112 users total):

Newbie: 60 (18 Active and 42 Inactive/banned)

Jr. Member: 15 (10 Active and 5 Inactive/banned)

Member: 12 (10 Active and 2 Inactive/banned)

Full Member: 5 (5 Active and 0 Inactive/banned)

Sr. Member: 6 (4 Active and 2 Inactive/banned)

Hero Member: 8 (5 Active and 3 Inactive/banned)

Legendary: 3 (3 Active and 0 Inactive/banned)

Copper Member: 3 (3 Active and 0 Inactive/banned)

Not all the active users on the list are marked as using AI. I would like to clarify, if they were caught once, what should they expect in case of repeated, regular use of AI? Some do not have a tag at all, and some have a neutral one. Will neutral tags turn into a negative tag? Many of the users always ask to be warned before leaving a tag. Are neutral tags a warning?

I would ask that reports be accepted only after checking three or more tools, as we see frequent false positives.  People end up on the AI ​​spammer list, sometimes purely by accident.

I suggest starting a search for new detectors that could replace them, such as sapling.ai, as it is practically useless, and its results are posted only formally for the sake of quantity.

I think we don't have a rule for getting a tag or being flagged as using AI. Maybe we should have this rule because right now, some people on the list got a neutral while didn't get any.

As far as I know, there is not any 100% working tool.
That's why I recently used many AI detectors to make sure the report is not false.

Perhaps I wasn't very specific. Active means that they're still active on the forum, having a latest post history within the past 30 days. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're still using AI, but they are users who have been reported at least once and the report was accurate. It doesn't mean that they're still using AI, I want to clear this misunderstanding. This is the reason why I've added links to their profiles, so anyone can easily click on the user and see for themselves if they're still suspicious or not.

With a glance, some profiles still show signs of AI usage, but I haven't gone through to check, it's just that some posts stand out without requiring me to go through a detector.

Also, I personally not going to report someone who's giving me mixed results. I'll first check, do their posts look suspicious? If yes, proceed to the next step, start scanning them. If I can't produce satisfactory results (for instance 4 out of 5 detectors showing that they're AI written) they go to my watch list so I can check again in the future. In the meantime, I'll check older posts to see if there's a difference in their writing style and pattern.

Yes, thank you. I understood you correctly, and you wrote everything correctly. I wanted to know if there will be repeated uses of AI; what can these users with an existing tag expect?

Perhaps that's for the mods to decide, I'm not sure if I'm the right person to answer that. Maybe @Igetbotz can shed some light to this topic. From my perspective, those who are not using AI anymore may be subject to change their reputation status, still a neutral tag but mentioning that they used to use AI? Any thoughts about this? In my opinion, repeated users, especially newer ranks, up to Member could result in a temporary or permanent banned, depending on the user or the case.

I'd like to hear more opinions about this matter, and perhaps I'll start checking a few of the active users myself.

Betting is inherently unpredictable, and no one can guarantee consistent success. While some people think they can win if they use the right information, statistics, and strategies, luck doesn't always rule in their favor. Gambling should always be approached with caution, as no prediction is ever 100% certain.

@Dark.Look, have you found more AI posts in your investigation? IMO, he is trying to inculcate many stats in his post regarding sports betting, he might be copy-pasting those stats from the internet, hence the AI detection because lots of news portals are using AI. I am not making any judgment, but he should have explained this by now, considering his reputation and experience here. I just scanned a few of his posts with Copyleaks, and they seem fine.  Only one of them was detected by Copyleaks as 89%, Gptzero was under 50%

Ronaldo and Messi are both the brightest stars in the world of football. Both are called the princes of football. In that respect, Ronaldo is slightly ahead. Their difference is that the eyes are the most precious organ in the body. If they are compared to eyes, then one eye cannot be imagined without the other. Just as a person is incomplete without one eye, the world of football is incomplete without these two. Their unique style and contribution make football more exciting. Ronaldo's consistency in multiple leagues is impressive, just as Messi's playmaking and dribbling are unmatched. Regardless of the statistics, their legacy will be difficult to repeat!

Those sound like quite discretionary matters, including how the forum might treat the use of AI matter, since there are some members who have more egregious incidents than others, and they might even have other areas that they are breaking forum rules that justify more extreme sanctions against them.

With tags, if there were one or two incidents, but then the member might have had come clean or at least not had further incidents, then some members might choose to remove the tag, yet surely some members leave tags for extended periods of time too and might prefer to keep something like a neutral tag in order to serve as a reminder.  Part of my own personal reason for not tagging members very frequently is that I feel that I would need to create another system for keeping track, which surely takes time to accomplish, but then the removal of tags might have some other reasoning besides what is written in the tag.. and surely we likely see that some members might have very shitty writing styles that don't seem to improve very much with the passage of time, and other members might improve in their substantive contributions to the forum and then justify the removal of the tag in the eyes of the person who put the tag in the first place..

I've sent quite a few neutral tags to people using AI in the forum. I wouldn't mind changing my initial trust rating on someone who was willing to come forward, apologize and promise to not use it again in the future. I'm all in for second chances, but you have to prove yourself that you're actually worth a shot. So far, no one has contacted me asking to change their rating, which is one of the main reasons I haven't changed it. I understand that a large percentage of the forum isn't native in English, including myself, but that doesn't excuse AI usage nor excessive usage of Grammarly/Quilbot, allowing the app to reconstruct your whole post itself.

I got some other posts, but usually, I just report the posts when I make sure they are AI content after using three tools or even more.
Based on what I saw from him, I think it's clear he used AI sometimes. However, I'm not sure about copy-pasting. I can still check this user for a few days to make sure about the next posts.
In fact, that's the main reason I asked @Ultegra134 for the list (Thanks again for it).

You didn't tag my @ correctly hence the delay - Igebotz not Igetbotz. 

The questions is ; are these already tagged/not tagged users from past reports still using AI to make posts? I'm asking this because most of the reports were handled in the past ( AI posts deleted without issuing ban) and some went under the radar without any punishment.

If the active accounts are still using AI to make posts please report it so appropriate decision can be taken. Enough time has been given.

This theory taps into a real concern—governments have historically used financial markets to manage economic pressure. Crypto, being volatile and loosely regulated, can be an easy playground for strategic moves.  

But attributing market fluctuations solely to government intervention oversimplifies things. The market’s natural cycles, whales, and institutional trading all play major roles. If manipulation is happening, it’s not just politics—it’s big money games.  

The bigger question is: If crypto is truly decentralized, can any government really control it, or is this just another layer of market psychology at play?

I see your point, and I agree that quantum computing isn’t the biggest threat to Bitcoin right now. Even if advancements happen, Bitcoin’s cryptographic security can evolve, and implementing post-quantum encryption is entirely possible.

That being said, the real battle for Bitcoin’s long-term survival isn’t just about technology—it’s about regulation, adoption, and economic relevance. Governments can’t shut it down directly, but they can make it harder to use by controlling fiat on-ramps, restricting mining, or promoting CBDCs.

August 2024 has been a rollercoaster for the altcoin market, marked by significant events and trends. The key focus has been on the Ethereum ecosystem, especially after the recent upgrade aimed at improving scalability and reducing gas fees. This upgrade has reignited interest in Layer 2 solutions, with Arbitrum and Optimism leading the charge.

In parallel, the DeFi sector saw a surge in activity, particularly with new liquidity protocols gaining traction. Meanwhile, Solana and Cardano continued to develop, with Solana's new partnerships driving up its TVL (Total Value Locked).

However, regulatory pressures, particularly from the SEC's scrutiny, created volatility, impacting several smaller altcoins. As always, traders should stay informed, especially with upcoming FOMC meetings that could influence market sentiment.

Hey,

The primary reasons governments hesitate to legalize Bitcoin often include concerns about money laundering, tax evasion, and economic instability. Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it harder for authorities to monitor and regulate transactions. However, it's important to recognize that these issues exist with fiat currencies too. Governments may also lack understanding of the technology, which hinders informed decision-making. With better education and clear regulations, Bitcoin's benefits could be more widely realized. Let's keep pushing for a balanced approach!

The potential resignation of Gary Gensler as SEC Chair in early 2025, coupled with a possible Trump administration, could mark a significant turning point for the crypto market. Gensler, often seen as tough on crypto, stepping down might pave the way for more favorable regulations. This could boost investor confidence and market growth, especially if Trump, known for his pro-crypto stance, introduces supportive policies. The anticipation is already causing excitement among investors, suggesting a bullish outlook for cryptocurrencies. What are your thoughts on this potential regulatory shift?

Investing in Bitcoin? Yes, but not blindly! This kind of message triggers **FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)**, which can be risky. Bitcoin is a volatile asset, and while its adoption and value have skyrocketed, a **DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)** strategy is much wiser than blindly **"buying large portions."**  

The key is **strategy**: understanding market cycles, managing risk, and never investing more than you can afford to lose. **Bitcoin has huge potential, but smart investing always beats reckless enthusiasm!** 🚀

Bitcoin’s resilience is undeniable, but calling it "immortal" assumes no existential threats. Its open-source nature ensures it can be replicated, but true survival depends on network security, adoption, and economic incentives.  

Governments can’t shut it down, but they can regulate on/off ramps, restrict mining, or push CBDCs as an alternative, affecting liquidity and adoption. Quantum computing is a future challenge, though BTC can adapt with post-quantum cryptography.  

Bitcoin is incredibly robust, but survival isn’t just about code—it’s about maintaining decentralization, economic relevance, and user trust. Immortal? Maybe not. Unstoppable? Most likely.

You're absolutely right about the risks of bag holding, especially with many altcoins slowly losing value. However, labeling all altcoins, including Ethereum, as 'shitcoins' misses the bigger picture. Ethereum, for instance, has built a robust ecosystem with real-world applications in DeFi, NFTs, and smart contracts. While timing the market is crucial, some altcoins with strong fundamentals and continuous innovation may offer long-term value beyond just speculative trading. It’s more about evaluating the project’s use case and development activity rather than simply relying on price action.

@LoyceV, You can not expect everybody to strive for gold standards of postings ( objectivity, particularity etc.).
My last post in which I have given him clean chit was specifically regarding AI usage since you suspected that it doesn't sound human. I encouraged him though for taking extra efforts to carefully craft his responses recently.
You have a very long experience of posting here and I bet, if you want, you can criticize almost 99.9% of members here on the matter of content.
I can also bet on the fact that almost all of us started here and made mistakes regarding content.  l

There are quite a few members who speak in gibberish, gobble-dee gook and even throw in a lot of buzz words to make it seem that they know what they are talking about, yet it can sometimes be difficult to determine if their posts are being written by AI or with AI assistance or they are coming up with their nonsensical inconsistencies within their own talents.

Of course, the learning process is going to include figuring out that you did not know what you might have earlier thought that you knew, so surely it seems that many of us need to try to give some of the newer members leeway to work through their learning about some of the areas that some of us might consider to be "basics," easy and straight-forward topics or even "common sense."  

Sometimes it can be annoying to read posts of newbies lecturing on a topic in which it seems relatively clear that they don't really know the topic and/or their ways of expressing themselves border on the annoying, and it might seem that they would be better off to post aspects of their own experiences and perhaps ask a few questions rather than lecturing the participants of the thread.. yet even after being confronted about their style, some of the annoying newbie members will figure out some better ways of balancing their forum participation so that others might not be as annoyed with them and that other members might be able to learn from them (perhaps in a less lecturing kinds of ways).

I know that I can also get into a lecturing mode, even when I had not intended to get into such a lecturing mode, so surely sometimes the repetition of our exposure to topics can contribute towards our own callousness in regards to how we perceive some of the newer members to be expressing their views and/or their experiences about any given topic.. to the extent that some of the newer members are even able to stay somewhat within the topic of the thread with their posts.

Sorry for responding late (I hope it does not disturb the current flow of discussion). I marked your post previously, as I thought it would take me some time to get the essence of what you are saying.
You want to say (correct me if I am wrong) to senior members to just chill and give new members some time to play and learn while doing childish things .
I remember my discussion with you regarding intraday trading vs investing, and I was debating rigorously (not going to provide link  ). I appreciated your detailed responses back then (for me, back then is quite less ), but now I am appreciating it even more after reading your thoughts on how to treat new members.  
I know a few established members who care for new members with a long-term vision and have the utmost respect for them.

I know that I can also get into a lecturing mode, even when I had not intended to get into such a lecturing mode, so surely sometimes the repetition of our exposure to topics can contribute towards our own callousness in regards to how we perceive some of the newer members to be expressing their views and/or their experiences about any given topic.. to the extent that some of the newer members are even able to stay somewhat within the topic of the thread with their posts.

Sorry for responding late (I hope it does not disturb the current flow of discussion). I marked your post previously, as I thought it would take me some time to get the essence of what you are saying.
You want to say (correct me if I am wrong) to senior members to just chill and give new members some time to play and learn while doing childish things .
I remember my discussion with you regarding intraday trading vs investing, and I was debating rigorously (not going to provide link  ). I appreciated your detailed responses back then (for me, back then is quite less ), but now I am appreciating it even more after reading your thoughts on how to treat new members.  
I know a few established members who care for new members with a long-term vision and have the utmost respect for them.

I am not going to claim to be any kind of saint with my tolerance of the posts of new members, since some kinds of post contents will trigger me more into a hostile response, yet there are forum members with various backgrounds and various abilities to express themselves, and surely some of the members will improve in their perspectives and also their abilities to express themselves in ways that are potentially helpful to other members.  

Sometimes members will also explain their own process of coming around to bitcoin or searching for ways to get bitcoin in their own country, and perhaps on some grander level, we might consider their experiences to NOT be very interesting, yet if we consider what they are saying within their own timeline of learning about bitcoin, we might be able to recognize how they might have gone down some worse road, but then learned how to adjust and perhaps reroute their own journey in such a way that some of the newer members might be able to relate to their perspectives - including the various paths that they had to take along the way.

Some new members might also have a lot of bad and even dumb ideas at various points in their journey to bitcoin, yet after they go back and forth arguing about their perspectives, they might also come to realize that they need to tweak some of their ways of thinking and including following up with better practices, such as starting to buy bitcoin regularly or something else that might relate to investing into bitcoin rather than either trying to trade bitcoin or get sucked into various shitcoins... and some of their journey might involve getting distracted into some bad ways of thinking about bitcoin and perhaps not even knowing what bitcoin is, and perhaps relevant to this thread, some of them might make mistakes of overly relying on the assistance of AIs to write their posts, which surely would be problematic if they don't end up correcting their ways if they are going down some of those kinds of paths.

I have a friend in real life who from time to time, I request to submit reports to me about certain topics related to his studying projects (like early college level kinds of reports), and this friend, submits me very shitty reports that I believe are either written by AI and/or the friend is copy and pasting ideas from various articles and proclaiming that he had written them...and to me it is just gibberish or seemingly coming from some other person (as compared to my regular interactions with the person, whether in writing or in person). When I tell him that he needs to figure out ways to write better reports so that he can improve himself and to create his own ideas rather than copying and pasting a bunch of blather, he sometimes will still insist that he had done the work, even though I continue to say that his report is not at a good enough standard and it does not have the right kind of a feel to it, yet he may well continue to act as if he had written the report, which truly cannot be true, based on the way that the report had been written...

So what I am trying to say is that it can take folks a long time to motivate themselves to want to learn how to do the work of thinking for themselves and also to spend time to attempt to present their own ideas in ways that are interesting rather than copying and pasting or relying on some kinds of cheating mechanisms that results in gibberish that is not even reflective of their own thoughts and/or ideas.

I don't even have any problems with some people having boring and dumb ideas as long as they are coming up with the ideas themselves and they are attempting in measures to organize and present their ideas rather than either copy and pasting from some other source, or using some kind of an AI service that results in a mish-mash of ideas from others and perhaps having a few of their ideas also interweaved within the presentation(s).

My native language is English, and many years I have been learning Spanish, so frequently if I write in Spanish,  I will write my first draft in Spanish, and then I will look at its translation in English and then have some translation program give me suggestions about how to write it better in Spanish, so then I am learning how to say my thoughts in a better way in Spanish but at the same time, most of the time, I had written the original draft in Spanish and I don't always accept all of the suggested changes to my version.  In my earlier years of using those programs, I still would try to write my own version in Spanish first, yet I knew that when I was in a hurry, I might just write my version in English first, and then see how it is translated. Surely it was easier to write the draft in English first, but if I wrote the draft in English first, then I would not tend to learn anything from the process of using the translator tool, and so I still believe that the process of reading and/or writing becomes easier when we figure out how to do some of the practicing in ways that we learn, and it will also help us to improve oral comprehension and speaking skills too.  

There are likely forum members who have gotten much better in English over the years through their forum interactions, yet surely some forum members are more disciplined than others to make sure that they are ongoingly learning how to understand the posts of others and how to express themselves better so that they are not speaking in gibberish, so we might not even realize that their in-person English skills are not very good.. because they are using the translation tools to help themselves to learn and they get better and better in their own post-drafting skills (and likely their reading comprehension in English improves too).

If the active accounts are still using AI to make posts please report it so appropriate decision can be taken. Enough time has been given.

I'll start monitoring the people on this list. But usually, when someone gets reported, I think he will stop using AI.

The ones with less than  one account and who want to be here for long term usually look themselves in the mirror and change their ways.

Two more newbie accounts reported for AI usage. In the meantime, I'm in the process of checking a few of the users that appear active in the list I previously made. First user's older posts are also AI but no point in reporting a post from August. Even short, one liner posts look artificially written. The same rule applies to the second user as well, but posts are too small to be put through a detector.

I also checked these two accounts:
BitJannik Jr. Member
MaxLevCoin Jr. Member,
but came with inconsistent results, their first posts that I checked came back as 100% AI on Copyleaks and GPTZero, mixed results on Quilbot and undetectable.ai. Perhaps they need further investigation with Originality and/or Winston.ai.

Absolutely agree. Bitcoin’s impact goes way beyond just price charts and profit. It’s become a lens through which we question how value is created, who gets to control it, and whether power can truly be decentralized.

It forces conversations about trust, why we’ve historically handed it over to banks and governments, and what it means to take that back. It also challenges us to rethink ownership in the digital age, where scarcity can now exist without physical form

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how branded merchandise can really boost business growth. For example, I read an article that highlights a case where a company saw a significant uptick in customer referrals, around 25%, simply by investing in high-quality, well-designed branded products. It’s interesting because it shows that merchandise isn’t just a fun extra, it can be a strategic tool to drive engagement and enhance brand loyalty.

Successful Bitcoin investing requires clear goals, risk management, and emotional discipline. Long-term holders focus on fundamentals, while traders capitalize on volatility. Diversify wisely, stay informed, and stick to your strategy, adapting when necessary. Continuous learning and patience turn market cycles into opportunities. Ultimately, a structured approach separates thriving investors from reactive speculators.

I often read your posts don't get it wrong; I was already tired from work when I read your recent one here. Too bad for me I guess.

The account that regularly posts requests for merits to increase in rank. I was surprised when I went to this thread that after 9 merits, he should become a full member.

Bitcoin has emerged as a compelling store of value in the digital age, offering unique advantages such as scarcity, decentralization, and global accessibility. Its potential to act as a hedge against inflation and diversify investment portfolios makes it an attractive option for many. However, its volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and security risks cannot be ignored.

As with any investment, it’s essential to approach Bitcoin with a balanced perspective. Diversification, thorough research, and risk management are key to incorporating Bitcoin into a long-term investment strategy. While Bitcoin’s future remains uncertain, its role as a store of value is likely to evolve as the cryptocurrency market matures and regulatory frameworks become clearer.

Your reflection touches on deep and complex issues about power, inequality, and the ethical dilemmas inherent in global systems. It’s true that the world often operates in ways that prioritize the interests of the powerful, often at the expense of the vulnerable. The dynamics of "eat or be eaten" and the use of force or manipulation to maintain control are historical and ongoing realities in many societies.

The idea of seeking knowledge to avoid becoming a victim of systemic exploitation is a pragmatic approach, but it’s also important to recognize that systemic change requires collective action. While individuals can strive to protect themselves, true progress often comes from addressing the root causes of inequality and injustice.

Your hope for AI and robotics to provide a better life for everyone is shared by many. Automation and technological advancements have the potential to reduce the need for exploitative labor and create more equitable systems. However, this also depends on how these technologies are governed and distributed. If controlled by the same systems of power that perpetuate inequality, they could exacerbate existing disparities.

The tension and unease you describe about the future are valid, as many people feel the weight of global crises and the uncertainty they bring. However, history has shown that even in the face of overwhelming challenges, humanity has the capacity for resilience, innovation, and solidarity.

While it’s true that evil and exploitation exist, so do compassion, cooperation, and the potential for change. The question is how to balance self-preservation with the pursuit of a more just and equitable world. It’s a difficult path, but one worth striving for, even if progress is incremental.

Your awareness of these issues is a crucial first step. From there, it’s about finding ways to contribute to positive change, whether through education, advocacy, or supporting systems and technologies that promote fairness and sustainability.

However, it's important to note that Bitcoin is still a highly volatile and speculative asset. Its price can be influenced by factors like regulatory changes, technological developments, and market sentiment. While it may perform well during certain economic conditions, it also carries significant risks.

In summary, Bitcoin's properties make it a potential candidate for performing well during recessions or bank failures, but investors should carefully consider its risks and volatility before treating it as a safe haven or hedge.

I don’t know if we need such an explanation from AI on the forum, although it is beautifully presented, it was done by the hands of a machine, alas.

What is Merit?
- Merit is a form of reputation or recognition that members earn through valuable contributions to the forum. It reflects the quality of a member's posts and participation, impacting their overall standing in the community and enhancing their rank and credibility.

What is Sendable Merit (sMerit)?
- sMerit is a subset of Merit that can be sent to other members. It is specifically designed for transferring recognition rather than accumulating personal reputation. Unlike regular Merit, sMerit has no purpose beyond being sent to others, meaning hoarding it is not beneficial.

How Merit and sMerit Work:
- When a member gives Merit to another user, the sender loses an equivalent amount of sMerit.
- The recipient gains the same amount in Merit, along with a portion of sMerit (which can be sent again).

Quick Example:
- If I send you **10 Merit** for a post:
  - My **sMerit** decreases by **10**.
  - Your **Merit** increases by **10**.
  - Your **sMerit** increases by **5** (the amount you can send to others).

This system encourages community engagement by rewarding quality contributions and enabling members to share recognition with others. By understanding the dynamics of Merit and sMerit, you can strategically earn and distribute recognition within the BitcoinTalk community.

How is Merit Created?

Merit is created through merit sources.

A merit source is an appointed member of the community who has the authority to distribute merits to other users for their quality posts. These merit points are intended to encourage valuable contributions and recognize outstanding content.

To become a merit source, you typically need to follow these steps:

1. Establish Yourself: You should be an active and reputable member of the community. This often means participating in discussions, contributing quality content, and building a positive reputation.

2. Gather Quality Posts: You need to collect at least ten posts from other members that you believe are deserving of merit but have not yet received sufficient recognition. These posts should be recent and of high quality.

3. Create a Meta Thread: Compile the selected posts and their quotes into a new thread in the Meta section of the forum. This thread serves as a demonstration of your ability to recognize and reward good contributions, showcasing your understanding of what constitutes quality content.

4. Review Process: After submitting your thread, the community's moderators or administrators will review your application, assess your history and contributions, and decide whether to grant you the status of a merit source.

By following these steps, you can position yourself to become a merit source and contribute positively to the community by recognizing and rewarding valuable posts.

Strategies for Earning Merit on BitcoinTalk.org

1. Quality Posting: Contribute informative and well-thought-out posts in discussions. Focus on topics where you have expertise or unique insights.

2. Helpful Responses: Answer questions from new members or those seeking guidance. Being helpful can encourage others to merit your contributions.

3. Engage in Debates: Participate in healthy debates on relevant topics. Ensure your arguments are backed by evidence and are respectful.

4. Create Original Content: Write articles or guides about cryptocurrency, trading strategies, or blockchain technology. Posting original content can attract attention and merit.

5. Participate in Announcements: Engage in discussions related to new projects or updates in the cryptocurrency space. Your input can be valuable to the community.

6. Stay Active: Regular participation in the forum can increase your visibility. Consistency often leads to more opportunities for earning merit.

7. Network with Other Members: Build relationships with more experienced members. They may be more likely to merit your contributions if they recognize your efforts.

8. Follow Forum Rules: Adhere to the forum’s guidelines and policies. Being a responsible member reflects positively on your reputation.

By focusing on these strategies and contributing positively to the community, you can significantly increase your chances of earning merit.
