Topic: cryptofrka's Merit Source application - let's improve the gambling boards - page 3. (Read 1319 times)

BenCodie reminds me of that shitposter who advertised a gambling site in his signature but in his shitposts, he opposed gambling:



Why wearing a signature if you don't like such a site at all. 
Main problem are stupid (or greedy) campaign participants but of course campaign managers could shut this down as well. After all, such participants are just not suited to be any longer in such a campaign and getting paid an handsome amount of valuable BTC for opposing (any?) gambling site...

Luckily, only a tiny minority is sharing your uneducated opinion.

After all, cryptofrka knows very well where good posts in our Gambling section are under-merited and that's why in this topic is also massive support for cryptofrka's application. 

If you bother to read the whole proposal made by OP, you'll come to see that the reason for being merit source request is that OP acknowledged the board can be a horrible place, and for that exact reason they asked to be a merit source, to improve the situation there so more good quality posts can be better appreciated and, from it, urged people posting on that board to write better.


But, as on the earlier part of that quoted post you said this,


allow me to return back to your initial argument,


Ironically, that board actually have some positive contribution to the bitcoin economy. There are a lot of gambling platforms that utilize crypto, thus a positive towards crypto economy. The gambling platforms on this forum also held raffles, competitions, and [as I am sure you're fully aware] signature campaigns, which kinda "distributes" helps keep the wheel of crypto economy roling by distributing some wealth to the cryptocommunity.

Yep - I've come to support your idea, I hope you'll be a merit source on that board and help more quality build around the discussion.

As far as I'm concerned - anywhere merit are often shared there will be more effort from users trying to post something that makes sense and is unique. I think once there are many merit source of attention on the gambling board – then there is quality to be expected there.

cryptofrka - I hope your application gets approval from theymos, but please be patient because you will be in a queue. The merit system should be felt across all forum board ^{[without exception]} as long as there are quality posts to be had. It works the same no matter what board catches your attentions.

I support your application. I think that most will agree that merit distribution isn't  big enough in gambling board. Yes, there lot of shitposts from users who have no idea about gambling or sports, but many good posts get no attention in terms of merit. I have impression that most of merits is distributed in bigger or smaller bubble of people who play in variious prediction pools and BSFL.

If you don't care about what other think, why do you think that your opinion should matter? You literally called casinos business unethical, but you're ok to advertise unethical business and get paid for it.
And it's just nonsense that gambling doesn't affect Bitcoin economy positively. Then I'm wondering what kind of business affect it positively. Because after all casinos is one of the most mainstream types of business related with Bitcoin.
@cryptofrka, sorry for offtopic.

So you want to increase the quality of that section so that people be committing sins and lose their fortune at the same time but with a cleaner and fancy looking forum board?

Seems legit, I support it ( NOT), not that matters.😉

Please let's keep on topic.

@BenCodie - everybody has a right to their opinion, I understand and accept yours.
You already did disagree, so from now on keep your opinions that are not connected to the topic to yourself or feel free to open another thread for them.


Considering your superior IQ, I'd really hate to keep you here any longer than necessary.

I could not care less about anyone's opinion about me wearing a signature and being paid for it

As long as what I an advertising is not a scam, then I do not care.

If better services were offering campaigns, I'd go to them. But the fact is there are not.

I'm not promoting shit, they're leasing my sig space. I take zero responsibility for the service nor do I endorse it for as long as it's not a proven scam.

Good job picking one thing out of all of the valid parts of what I said and using it to invalidate my post. Great job, actually. Very effective. Dumbass.


Discussion about gambling is not worthy of needing a merit source. My post stands.

My principles align with how the forum is conducted. If the principles of the forum were better, I would be better.
I know that I'm not a scammer, a gambler, a scumbag, or anyone who contributes negatively to this community. So, anyone's judgement means absolutely 0 to me. I know my code, and I know that it's reasoned, refined and fine.


All of you go back to the gambling board where you all came from and belong. If you can't read and understand a high IQ post, don't respond to it with bs personal attacks about my signature.

I'm not a hypocrite for taking opportunity when it's available. And just because I wear a signature, thsn doesn't mean that should be a main focus to my valid opinion on a topic.

All of you have a common theme - low IQ.

If you have strong opinions, you should also have strong principles to suport it. You are not principled, if you were, you would never have agreed to apply and agree wear the signature and avatar to promote a casino here. Because of your unprincipled nature, you have no right to talk about ethics.

Also not all discussions in the gambling board is about casinos, some discussions under its subboard "gambling discussion" address and talk about issues relating to gambling.

Gambling involves use of bitcoins, and there are gamblers who have a preference for gambling with bitcoins. Believe it or not, the fact that bitcoins can also be useful for gambling can be a reason why some people have gotten bitcoins.

Well, I was coming here to say that I also support cryptofrka's application, as I understand that he is a person who spends a lot of time in the gambling section and can help distribute merit to quality posts that often get buried between rubbish pages.

But I'm also surprised that BenCodie is going as a moral defender here, I don't want to get too long with this because is kind of OT, but if you say this:


What you need to do is to stop wearing a gambling ad on your signature, especially because you get paid for it. I don't know where you learned ethics, but where I'm from someone who lets himself be bought to advertise something he thinks is wrong is not only behaving in a morally wrong way, he is also a hypocrite.

Lol, guy that is willing to promote something that he thinks is highly unethical and exploitative for a little bit of bitcoin will teach us about ethics. 

I love how people have a sook at who is paying for my signature space and use that as the only response to my otherwise quite valid opinion.

Sorry sir, do I have to not be a part of a signature campaign to have an opinion? If I wear a signature does that mean my opinion must also change? And if I have an opinion, does that mean I'm not allowed to share it if it has anything to do with the sector that my campaign sponsor is in?

Id the answer is yes, then it sounds like you're telling me to fall in line and that my opinion is also included in the purchase of my signature space. That definitely doesn't sound right

As for the question if gambling is unethical - it undoubtedly is. Casinos, gambling, etc have always been unethical. Why do you think some countries outright ban gambling activities? Because it's exploitative.

Then add all of the unjust actions toward players and the amount of scams and robberies made by casino administrators on top of gambling's already exploitative and unethical nature...that only validates that this board specifically is more unethical than most other boards here even further.

If you really think the gambling board is as ethical as other boards this forum contains, you're out of touch with basic ethics and probably lost in the casino sauce.

What an irony. Yet you are participating in a campaign that promotes gambling. I do not see any reason why you would call it an unethical board/section of this forum. Everyone does not support unfair odds, ridiculous terms of service, or KYC checks to ban accounts. You are talking like whoever participates in the gambling section they are supporting those casinos.

If so, you are doing the same thing, my friend. Do you always see people visit the casino ANN thread and praise like OMG, this is the most trusted casino, please play here. People visit those sections to check what's going on On those platforms. They criticize platforms if they see something unfair. I do not see any reason why you are calling it an unethical board. Not all threads are casino ANN.

Disagree.

No one should be a merit source for one of the most unethical boards/sections of this forum. There is no shortage of merit for the amount of quality/merit worthy posts in the gambling section; which is very little in comparison to other, more important and non capitalistic boards of the forum.

I also think merits should not be focused on posts in this section. It does not positively contribute to the Bitcoin economy. It only concentrates wealth to unethical network participants who are exploring other users with unfair odds, ridiculous terms of service, extensive and intrusive kyc checks to ban accounts, questionable provably fair claims, and more.

My 2 cents

I want to support cryptofrka in his application to become a Merit source. I'm participating in one of the competitions that he and his colleague are running in the Gambling section and I have to say that they are doing a great job. Not that it's important for the application, but it shows that he is focused on making the Gambling section better. I'm not sure how many merit sources are in the Gambling section but that section definitely lacks in the number of Merits given to the users that deserve it. I'm sure that accepting cryptofrka's application would make that problem go away.

I do not frequent the gambling board but along with the altcoin discussion section it is one of those boards that require merit sources and more motivation for users to make quality posts. There are lots of spam posts there but that's same with every other board and there are also great posts there which mostly goes unmerited, which further discouraged quality posters.

Cryptofrka is a regular in that board and a good choice for a merit source to encourage the quality posters there.

Now we wait for the raffle draw by theymos and hope to make the cut.

I also support the application of Cryptofrka's because he's very active member of the gambling board and there is need of a merit source on gambling board and gambling discussion board. There are many good posts on gambling boards that didn't receive the merits they deserve and I believe a merit source like Cryptofrka could support those posts by giving them the merits they deserve. Once again I support the application of Cryptofrka and I hope that theymos will consider his application.

Gambling board is in need of merit source and I have also been entertaining the idea to put out an application for merit source just for gambling. Granted I have been delaying for too long and you beat me to the punch. Fair game and you have my absolute support for what it is worth, I am sure you will do good job as merit source if/when your merit source application gets approved.

We don't need to know your height, little one. Or if you want to tell us how tall you are, at least mention how much you weigh as well . Just joking, my bad.
The gambling board is definitely a sewer, and it's sad that it is. It has so much potential, particularly since gambling is a big use case of bitcoin and crypto. I hope that with a successful application and acceptance by theymos you can help to change that.

Thumbs up for cryptofrka!

I agree, frka would be an excellent choice for this.

It will be nice if this really gets accepted.

As much as there are many spammers in the gambling boards, and some forum member believe that gambling posters do not really post anything of value, there are still very many good topics there that are valid for discussion and deserve merit.

Cryptofrka regularly frequents the gambling boards, and he will be good to make a merit source for it.

I fully support his application.
