Icopress ' Merit Source Application 🚩

[digaran]

Anyway, when was the last merit source appointed? A year ago? Can't remember.

It might have been very recently, one source was removed, one was added.
Regarding OP, I can only say my experience, I haven't followed them to check other things, but one thing which really made a difference was meriting someone threatening me with negative feedback, and that was the green light for Nurotic fish or a name like that to go on with the tag.

I don't say OP is a scammer or untrustworthy, no, he is just a bit extreme bias IMO. and some people when saw his merit, they backed off from that case because OP is a known campaign manager. So I would say consider these facts first.

Blah, blah, blah. Bullshit paid signature spamming.

I am sure that theymos will take into deep consideration your arguments, I mean your bullshit spam, to decide if he appoints icopress as a merit source or not. 
Especially with how trustworthy you are. Besides, I have given you a reason so you can answer me with garbage and you can continue filling your spam quota week.

icopress, I'm late to the party but since this is being bumped I'll throw in my 2 satoshi below:

Anyone who spends a lot of time at this forum reading post upon post and creating content to ensure they keep reading posts deserve to be a merit source. Even though you come across many good users (as evident by your campaigns), I'm certain you can see the difference between who deserves a merit here or there and who doesn't. Not saying you'll only need to or have to give merit to people who join your promotions, participate in your campaigns or otherwise but you may read many posts that are good but for one reason or another gets overlooked. You seem like a capable user on your own merit, too, and a valued member of this here community.

Needless to say, I am in support of this merit source application and I think you would be a fine addition to the current source gang.

I have only worked on campaigns managed by icopress for a long time and if you look at the merit history he has given me you will see that he has only given me merit at specific times for quality posts. I believe this is general. He is not biased at all on that. Regardless of whether you work on his campaigns or not, in general he tends to give merits to quality posts, although that estimation obviously has a subjective component.

Hey icopress, very good application. I hope you will reach the goal and get the role as a merit source. But why do you want to be a merit source? If you want to answer...I'm asking with all kindness.

The forum admins and Global moderators have never been too open regarding these things. It is about appointing merit sources and other forum-related things like creating a new local sub-forum, banning appeal threads, etc. It's not like that they did not see the applications. They have seen the application, but they don't feel it's necessary right now. You will likely see their response once things get approved. As Icopress also mentioned in the OP, when theymos appoints a new merit source, he will look for an application thread in meta, which is why Icopress created this thread. 

I think, theymos sees everything. He is the house master. Of course, he knows what's going on his house. It's just he responds vary rarely when it comes to the changes of the forum. I think, it's a way of him to choose the right candidate. Like observing a person for months or years, making sure everything is ok and then appointing a merit source. If he made this decision hastily  there wouldn't be any merit source application left. Anyway, when was the last merit source appointed? A year ago? Can't remember.

I do hear stories from the senior ones here, and with my conclusion, I know that theymos is working, he is adding and removing the amount apportioned to some merits sources. His actions might be easy to know as those who are not performing their duties in this regard might have their sMerits amount reduced, but for those who are doing well, he might add if need be.

For doing this, I know he has not left the forum for once and has been reading applications and queries of people, and in due time, he will act appropriately. About the last time sMerits was apportioned, I can't remember, but all I could also conclude is that it could be in 2024 for the sMerit approval to be made known.

He has his even pattern.

I believe that a person can perform his duties well only when he is busy with only one thing.

I don't know is OP a merit-source or not. But I see that he wants to do all the things at once: to be both a merit-sourcer and an organizer of competitions

It's bad when a person has too much to do. It is necessary for a person to have only one thing that he does well

Organizing competitions and counting votes is too painstaking and time-consuming for merit-sourser

Don't you think it's a bit pretentious to claim to know better than OP whether he'll be able to manage all this or not?
For the time being, we can all see that he's effective when it comes to multitasking. Between the campaigns, the competitions and his activity on the forum, we can see that everything's working well.

+ now that Ratimov is no longer a source, it makes even more sense to add a new source.

[Shenanigan]

I believe that meritsourser should not be involved in extraneous matters. This may affect the quality of distribution of merits.

Too much money is involved in this competition (BCA 2023).
Where are the guarantees that this meritsources icopress is not an interested party?

By the way, is icopress a meritsourcer or not?

So you didn't even bother to check what's this thread all about? Well, that explains some of the posts that you wrote here.

Please stay away from the things that you know nothing about or at least have a decency to inform yourself before coming here and sharing an opinion.

If you don't get the gist of it, how can you expect us to give any credibility to anything you say at all.

It's amazing how many people on the forum comment and not only don't know about the comments on the first page, they don't even know what the title and the OP say.

I'm going to explain it to you so that even my 9 year old nephew can understand: this is a thread in which icopress apllies for a merit source. And can you imagine why he does it? Just think.

Because he is not a merit source.

Let's see if you understand.

The bad news is that his is not an isolated case, far from it.

[Shenanigan]

Because he is not a merit source.

Okay. It's clear.

I’m sure that he’s a good guy, but still let he choose one thing - either meritsourcing or competition organizations. Simple folks look and envy when so much power falls into one hand. Some kind of centralization is obtained again

The bad news is that his is not an isolated case, far from it.

It would be better if you created a list of active meritsourcers so that everything is clear to everyone.

Like observing a person for months or years, making sure everything is ok and then appointing a merit source. If he made this decision hastily  there wouldn't be any merit source application left.

I guess theymos takes that much time because he doesn't't feel the necessity of appointing a merit sournt. But he does not want to disappoint anyone. He might appoint a new merit source in the future and he is sure about it. This is why he ask candidates to create their appeal thread.

Anyway, when was the last merit source appointed? A year ago? Can't remember.

I don't know. I am not sure even if I was there or not. I don't remember if I have seen any new merit sources.

[Bureau]

Hasn't he recently become a DT1 user with all those who are active on their local boards? I do not think he should be given a Merit source application as he tends to misuse it. Being said that the way he has been arguing with another BM is not good. If given the authority of merit source he will use it for his own benefit. I think the BM should be removed from becoming a DT1 as this would make them more loyal towards a project and disloyal towards the forum.

Exactly

icopress doesn't inspire confidence in me. In the last competition, he excluded from his competition the votes of those he personally did not like. But no one attached any importance to this then. But this was a fact of vote manipulation

The people whose votes icopress excluded simply voted in vain in his contest. After that, people felt like icopress pissed in their mouths

And now this impudent person icopress has the audacity to ask people to consider his application?

[Shenanigan]

Do you have any proof for your claims? If you don't have any, then why are you really here?

Hello digaran

There is a proof. The votes of these people were blatantly excluded from the last competition (BCA 2021):

marilynmanson21, techearn17, palle11, AnonBitCoiner, Tigerheart3026, aylabadia05, zahed, shawonngp, Rigon, Bobrox, bussybuddy, JeWay, superman184, robattfield, mrjoy15, beveryu778, Mr.Scott, tarable, qqwx, , airfinex, Tumanggor,  BobK71, mdzahed134, bounceback, BTC_Mouse, lifeOK, MJSO22, sifat08, Mups099, ZAINmalik75, Shussainshah, mumang siat, Erumo, musafar37, Teletalk.org, Marykeller, packagemission, preikaler

That's a wonderful shitty argument you just made. Congratz coz I don't think anyone is going to waste much time even trying to dismantle it.

icopress doesn't inspire confidence in me.

It's OK. You're the one who doesn't inspire confidence in me, since you start talking in this thread without knowing what the main topic is about. And I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't trust you.

Open your eyes and you will see that there are people who have more than a single core in their heads.
Have you ever wondered how some people who play the guitar (and I'm sure you've heard that there are such people) may use both hands and completely independent movements of each hand/fingers, yet quite synchronized?

[GazetaBitcoin]

Now I understand why all his competitions are so unfair

Which are all these competitions? And how are they unfair?

[decodx]

I knew there was something wrong with icopress. Now I understand why all his competitions are so unfair

Now, I understand. You're some alt playing the newbie card. Just a few days back, you lied about not even knowing what "merits" are. And here you are, trolling icopress's merit source application for no good reason. What's your deal? Why the act?
