Topic: Can we trust Legendary member chmod755 ? (Read 1589 times)

Holy crap--I haven't actually looked at the rules of the forum for a long time and didn't realize there was anything in them about account sales.  If I'm not mistaken, there never used to be any official (or unofficial) discouragement and it was only around 2016 when account sales really started to become a problem and very much frowned upon by the community.  Interesting.


Yeah, well....there are a lot of good (read:bad) reasons why someone would buy a high-ranked account, preferably green-trusted.  I think that scam Master-P pulled off a few years ago was done with a purchased account, but my memory might be failing me on that one.  In any case, I'm sure you get my point.  If you're doing a trade with someone you think is a trusted member of the community based on their feedback, and it turns out that the account changed hands and is now controlled by a scammer, well, you're screwed.

I did quick search and found out he create at least 111 threads since November 2023[1]. Using Ctrl-F, i found 107 of them contain word "bitcoin.com" while few others doesn't mention any link[2]. Any if you exclude starting date, i also found out he did similar thing for different website on year 2015[3].

It should only be done if all the sources are from the same website.

I noticed it obviously, since I recently posted in this topic about his new weird activity.
All his posts are copy-paste news articles, with added one or two worthless one-line sentences posted in different boards.
However, I don't think this is enough to ban him just yet.

Does anyone notice this user also perform SEO spam on Press board since lasy year? I've tried report one of the thread, but it stays "Unhandled". AFAIK CoinIdol got banned due to very aggressive SEO spam[1], so IMO it's time do that again.

According to the rules of the forum, account sales are allowed but those are discouraged. Since the account sales are allowed by the forum and that's why I don't think that Theymos will take any action to make a rule like that. However, it's a good suggestion if implemented, but again I don't think that Theymos is going to change the current rules.

Perhaps they think that they will never be caught.

It's already in place. Once the account's email is changed, the old email address will get a notification containing a link to lock the account if clicked on. Once the account is locked. It can only be recovered by writing to the cryptios team.

Admins and mods don't want to involve themselves in community disputes, which could involved hunting for accounts that just changed hands since the forum still Okays having multiple accounts.

Well I still can't believed someone will go buy an account that is not originally created by them, how and why would they involved themselves with such deals knowing too well the implication involved buying account that is already been used by another user.
Who knows if the original own has used the account to scam someone and decided to sell it away to some random users? Maybe the lazy person who goes buying might feels so happy for having a Legendary account without knowing the account has been soiled by the first owner.

My suggestion> Why not theymos implement a new law that any account found (suspected and proven) changed of hand should be locked otherwise, if they are the real owner they should come with evidence maybe with the first bitcoin address or with the first mail associated with account with this, the forum will total discourage and eliminate account selling since they now knows the implication involved. With this forum may limit people falling victim of scam or dealing with untrusted users.

Account sales were pretty common back then, especially since most lenders accepted accounts as collateral. I wouldn't be surprised if the account has been sold multiple times since 2010.

This account looks to already be tagged and flagged from the last change of ownership, so I doubt anyone would do any sort of business with them. If they did, hopefully they use an escrow at least. The account is worthless as is regardless as well.

I noticed member chmod755 woke up again and he is spamming like crazy, usually he is posting copy-paste articles every few minutes.
He is mostly posting worthless news articles and he started doing that since last year November when he woke up, maybe account changed hands yet again.

One example of his posting habits:


https://ninjastic.space/search?author=chmod755

Update and more information about this guy ref link spamming activity is posted in SpamBusters topic:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54849411

When exactly did you started and what are all your other previously used bitcointalk accounts?
Changing avatar and location in your profile will not help you very much.
Most shit in this forum is from people like you.

Bollocks!
Story changed again  

Well, giving your account to an "online friend" to make money sounds like business and you cared enough to come up with that excuse. That's a pretty solid contribution to making it a shithole.

That's not a problem, I am not doing business here.

We've heard that excuse before. Even if this is true, it makes you untrustworthy just the same so you didn't need to bother with PGP.

Hello, I am the original owner / registrant.

This account was hacked

The problem is money for most of them or popularity. Or fear of busting the most dangerous scammers. Weakness or just evil who can say. This one I have not taken note of yet.

They want to make a name for themselves " busting the untrustworthy or high financial risk members"
Or so they say

But they dont give one shit about the forum.

They never dare hold DT to their same standards? Why?

Because they want to keep spamming their sigs or remain popular

Pushing double standards is just like scamming ...you are lying in effect.

When he holds nutildah and lauda to his spoken standards then we can consider his points as being genuine.

I see all of this " scammer" hunting bullshit they do as destroying their financial competition or anyone that points out their free speech crushing double standards

Dont beg forgiveness nor seek to join with them. Crush them all and their sponsors unless they will work transparent rules that ensures every member is treated equally. No more scammers punishing whistleblowers here.

Tell the op to consider your actions in the full context of nutildah and lauda
Then we will see who we can trust more.

People need to unite against DT double standards scammer supporters... I dont know if the op wants to deliberately push double standards but we will find out when we see if he is willing to appraise your trustworthiness in the context of others he does trust.

Does he want the entire truth or just some partitioned truth that rings false when reviewing all of his actions.

I cant say who to trust but I can see double standards and I can see proven scammers. 

You are so very wrong!

You LIAR.
What I posted is 100% PLAGIARISM
And you have been again accused not just in bitcointalk forum, but in other platforms also!!

SHAME ON YOU THIEF !!!

How about just STOP buying and creating new accounts and just accept the fact that you are banned from this forum multiple times?

@Veleor
Interesting discovery, and that can for sure ruin all the fun, music and party in this topic 
I have many more interesting things to show here in due time...

Hey @mindrust! Your reply obviously applies to chmod755 but you quoted my post. Maybe you should refer to the user you are addressing, so that there is no confusion.

Resolved. Thanks @mindrust

You can earn it by paying for it too. That doesn't mean people will trust you for that though. Plagiarism however... is a nice way to quickly lose what you earned (no matter how you accomplished it).

You He should have started your journey  with a newbie acc like everybody else. It is free ffs.

edit: Addressing chmod obviously.

Judging by the sentence structure this is pure plagiarism as far as I can see. And you claim to have 'earned' that legendary status account? Really @chmod755?!

Certain posts of yours look like they were taken from Portuguese resources and then converted into English texts with Google Translate Tool.

Perhaps someone from Portuguese section can verify this info?

According to theymos, this is exactly why the newbie-warning flag was created.
I don't see anything wrong with newbie members getting a warning stating that this is a purchased account.


If you don't like it, you can simply create a new account and start with a clean slate. I really don't see a reason to buy/acquire someone else's account unless you want to deceive people.

I think the same, but I understand all that is happening here and why.


Great, thank you for the opportunity 

As long as people know not to trust the words and actions of this profile before 2020 (and a neutral would reduce that chance), they should have no reason to not trust you on new deals.   Once you build a new reputation, not reliant on the purchased one, I'll change my rating to neutral. 

I don't think using a red flag is right use of the system here, hence opposing. Also the ownership change status can even be indicated by a neutral rating in a way.

I'm not talking personally, just saying that I will not leave, looks that is the desire of some people(just saying). But I don't have plans to go.
I totally understand the point

You got it wrong. Don't take it personally.
No one here wants you to leave or wants to prevent you from using the forum and they don't have the power to do so as long as you abide by the rules.
The purpose from this thread and the negative feedback is to warn others and let them know that the current user isn't the original owner of this account to avoid any kind of deception.

Old accounts are too precious and newbies tend to trust them as they have been here for a long time.
I remember that a VIP account with the donator tag got negged too for the same reason so, again, don't take it personally.

You are right, no matter how some people don't want to see me here, this post and trust will not make me run away, I will stay here and active on the forum, some people liking it or not.

You bolded the wrong part.
FIFY:
buying accounts isn't against the rules but, as you may already have known from replies above, is strictly frowned upon.

Am not accusing you of anything here, but there is no way you can prove that you didn't buy/hack that account and that it was really gifted to you. It doesn't make any difference though.
You stated that you are not interested in trading here, hence, you should not care too much about your trust score.

Yeah, getting flagged by not Breaking the rules, and I've earned not bought, but anyway, time to move on.
People create their own rules and make you accept it.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49508382

Assuming that he bought it, I don't see why should he delete the earlier posts. He paid for it because that account had a somehow respected nickname which was created in 2010, had 1000 status merits etc... Also deleting the posts of the original owner would be a net negative to the forum itself. You don't want to delete history do you...

Obviously he is acting weird.

This is just a trust issue, negative trust him/exclude and move on. (Unless he hacked that account)

Account selling (and buying) is not aganist the rules.

There is so many things I don't understand, just surfing on the forum, why this guy doesn't have so many flags? where are the use of your trusts?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/chuckbuck-is-talking-to-himself-abusing-merit-a-farm-house-of-alt-5247232
why there is no flag created for that account buyer in which he literally admits?

Value inversions.

Per theymos, flags against such cases are appropriate usage. Supported and tagged.

It seems that you're starting to get it. You shouldn't buy accounts (or accept as gifts or whatever).

Last activity 2016 - BCH creation 2017.

Decentralized Cryptocurrency.

Not matter who created it.
anyway, I'll still be here, you liking or not  


Another one for you:
- I want out, Helloween

''he told me he had the account here and such, but he was no longer interested here because he became a fan of BCH, he said that he did not use the account and was stopped since 2016''

So he became a fan of Bcash, not trusting the founder of Bcash...  

You should make a movie based on your story, and add some guitar music you like to play.

Well, I didn't, the person who gave me the acc is a hold of BCH, but if he distrusts Roger Ver It's their personal opinion, BCH is not Roger Ver, that why it's a decentralized cryptocurrency.
We don't need to trust him, we need to trust the Code.

Do we want to add an extra burden to admin?  If the account has changed hands, it cannot be credited with the previous attributes.   The profile is now fraudulent - erasing merit will not erase the goodwill the old owner built over the years.  

A tag saying the account changed hands is a perfect use of the trust system.    Anyone wanting to do business with chmod755  can choose to disregard it if they want, but they need to be aware the historical record of that profile is not accurate.

http://loyce.club/trust/2020-05-16_Sat_05.03h/3012.html

Now lets go a bit deeper.
He lied that old owner is Bcash supporter that don't want to be a bitcointalk member anymore.
But if we look at LoyceV trustlist fro chmod755 we can see that same guy distrust MemoryDealers aka RV

Well it is not your first time is it? 

You want to revert? Create a petition thread on meta and see if you have enough supporters, theymos will revert that if you have enough supporters 
Welcome, I will support.

Sure, But I don't have an away to revert it.

LOL

No, it's about as far from "earned" as it gets. You didn't make those posts and you didn't earn 1000 merits.

Guess what, I don't need to do things you ask to me, you translated by yourself, and a few posts later I've said the same thing(wow). as I said, you are like a spoiled child, you don't like my answers then gave me a negative trust.

I do NOT support bitcointalk accounts trading and changing hands.
I asked this member to explain in english language about account ownership changing hands.
He refused.
Instead he started to quote poetry of his favorite rock bands multiple times.

Neutral changed to Negative for now.

" I have the power, I don't like you, so I have a reason to send negative trust, just because I don't like your face"
Some people have a level of indignation and anger when they don't get what they want to the point to pass over others to get what they want, it looks like as if you constantly need a target to point to get what they want, Using they power.

You have been looking to something to point me for days, even mentioned me in the plagiarism section and deleted when you see you were wrong, like a spoiled child and after losings arguments jut using the "power" you have.

For that I would have created an account from zero But since I've earned it why should I do that? and I can't even delete some of my posts.
I don't have smerits, nothing, just a status, and NEG trust right now, making it more useless for mot of things here, why I will create another account? to people point a finger and flag me again?

Then delete all posts that you didn't create and ask theymos to remove the initial 1000 merits. I think that would be a fair way of accepting account as a gift.

You are right in some points, but I don't have any positive trusts to say that I'm trusted to do anything, only neutral stating the actual situation, btw there is a lot of detectives here on the forum if I do anything wrong they will not let it be hidden.
and now I got a NEG rating, But I don't agree with that, what can I do? nothing.

We have same point of view that the only wrong in account trading is- account can not be trusted because the account is not owned by the previous one, people used to know the previous user and new user can easily impersonate and scam a big amount. From that point of view, changing hands of account matter regardless of how it changed hands.

Because I won it, and I'm not pretending to be anyone, I Didn't search for anyone for trading or anything else, I'm just using the forum and wearing some signatures and honestly with neutral ratings saying that the account owner has changed I believed that no one will make any deal with me.

Cool story. Any particular reason why you couldn't just create a new account instead of pretending to be someone you're not?

Sure I understand, That's why I've said that the Neutral rating that I've received is clearly the most accurate rating and it shows on my profile.
well, we have some different points of view, if someone wants to give you the account on their own free will I don't see it as the same thing of trading/buying it.

The account seems changed hands. He has already acknowledged that. Purchasing an account and luckily getting an account from another person is the same thing.
The merit thing and reseting your password through ip proves nothing. I mean that's not a solid proof to come to a conclusion that some of the accounts are alt.

Forum discouraged account trading and community discouraged it more. You are not the same owner whom users knew as chmod755, it is very risky to deal with you.

No need, when you find something for real, let me know, for now, I see only thoughts and supposition upon your mind.

- Parkway Drive

Post your poetry while you still can...

If you translated why I need to post here? that is the History, if you like it or not I don't care.
No one says that is a bad thing to "give" an account to someone else by your own free will, I didn't buy anything, I didn't make anything wrong, it's just this you have posted.
No trust abuse, NOTHING.
And the account history is directly linked with my personal life.

- Dragonforce

Ok, as you refused explain yourself in English language I posted translated conversation from local Portuguese section in first post.
I did not ask about your personal shit, but about BITCOINTALK ACCOUNT you have now.

Europe and I won't talk about my personal life here, I said too much already, feel free to search about everything you want and tell me if you get anything.
- Dragonforce

There is obviously something to hide here, as you did lie when other members asked you about your profile history.
Now you can say it here in English language so that everyone can see your fantastic story of a lucky man visiting Austria.

Well, nothing to hide, I don't have any kind of enrollments with the above mentioned accounts.
The Neutral trust doesn't bother me in anyway, checked this IP and it's from Equator, not even close to my IP range or location

I didn't nothing against the forum rules and I'm not using any kind of "trust" here, anyone can do their own research and have any thoughts about me.
No one need to untrust me and also No one need to trust me I think your neutral appointment is clearly the most accurate rating.

Original member chmod755 joined bitcointalk forum back in December 27, year 2010.

If we examine post history we can see that during the year 2015 member was mostly posting news, and news titles with links up until November 21, year 2015.
Most of his posts are in English and few in German section.
Only one post in 2016, and then big 4 year break, until he wakes up in May 6th 2020 with his first post in bounty thread:




https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=3012

 

Now we get to the interesting part.
He starts to write in local Portuguese section, and other members have noticed something strange.
He makes up some weird story that he lived outside Brasil for few years.
Than he changes the story and said that one guy from Austria just gave him his account, and he was just 'lucky'
So we know that he lied, and he admitted it.

You can read more about it in archived post: https://archive.vn/nguI6
If you read you will see that other local members are also suspicious about him.









Interesting to see that he is also Bcash lover as his 'friend' from Austria

Next thing I noticed is connection with several other accounts I reported before.
How?

All this accounts belong to one guy (as I explained in original topic HERE):
1. phabulu (BPIP)- Banned
2. galahads (BPIP)- Banned
3  jujubax  (BPIP)- Banned
4  galahad_s (BPIP)- Banned
5. pirate hunter (BPIP) ?? unbanned ??
6. AD Node (BPIP) BAN Evasion

Recently we found out that AD Node is one of many accounts of Phabulu,
and after he was discovered, he sent all his sMerits to other members.
Most of the merits received the new 'lucky' guy chmod755. Isn't he 'lucky'  
Why did he sent most of his sMerits to Legendary member that just showed up from nowhere?!


https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?from=AD%20Node&to=chmod755




One more thing.
After I left him NEUTRAL feedback about account ownership change,
I received reset email for my bitcointalk account from this IP address:



Now you can obviously check that IP address, and you will see that it is located in South America...


CONCLUSION (for now):
- It is obvious that this account change ownership (as he confirmed himself)
- It is proved that new owner is a liar
- I ask everyone to make their own research about this member, and post more information if they have
- All feedback given to old account owner should be reviewed

*This thread will be updated with more information in future.
