just in case you calm down tomorrow and decide to accept the help i am offering you. so i will re-post what you deleted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok bro, let me try to help you with something that might not have crossed your mind before.
and before I do so, i hope you know that i have been here only for a while and i do not give a fudge about any of the members on this forum, neither i am trying to "protect" anyone, but simply stating some numbers here, so before i get accused for being a part of the "gang" i just had to make myself clear.
so, I am going to assume that your "theory" about top merited members circulating merit among themselves is true, and i am going to explain to you something based on that theory.
just because those merit have been "circulated" it does not mean they did so based on a "gang master plan", it is simply because those members are
1- the most active on the forum and the most deserving
or/and
2- they have the most sMerit so each one of them has a huge chunk of someone else's merit simply because those with more merit will always send more merit than those with less merit ! WTF , complicated ? ok look at my merit fans .
ignore "frodocooper" and "criptix" since
1- they are not on your suspect list.
2- frodocooper is a moderator of the mining board where i am usually active and criptix seems like a daily trader who likes my btcusd analysis and find them useful.
so just for the sake of explanation i'l put suchmoon as my no.1 fan.
it's not because suchmoon gets anything in return for merting my posts, neither he/she knows me " i don't even know if suchmoon is a he or she to begin with" , never had anything to do with him/her.
There is only 1 main reason why suchmoon gave me the most merit compared to the others : suchmoon has the most sMerit among those others who merited my posts ! , and look who is next ! another member of the "gang" .
this is mainly because those people have the most sMerit . i know you could argue about the amount of the merit "they" sent me is nothing compared to what they send to each other, but those merit i got are mainly in a month period of posting, if i keep my post quality the same, perhaps in a few more months i will have maybe a 1000 merit with at least 70%-90% merit coming from the "gang".
and also quite frankly, i do think my merit fans deserve my sMerit the most, i am simply trying to merit newbies and members to "encourage" them , i sometimes see a good post for suchmoon or LoyceV and i end up giving the " a few" merit i have to other lower rank people with quality posts just to help them level up, even though i know this is wrong , but make no mistake, if i see a very high quality post by suchmoon i'l give him/her all the merit at my disposal simply because he/she deserve it. despite the fact that i disagree with a lot of suchmoon points of view specially that to do with "DT TRUST" which i discus with him/her a few times and never ended up agreeing to one another, but long story short IMO those guys are top quality posters and they deserve the merit they got.
i hate to make long posts, and here i am making a wall text, but let me help you even more.
why not collect shitposts from the "gang members" that was merited by the other "gang members" so that we all know your theory is correct. ?
if you manage to do so , you have a valid point and you got my support against the "gang", but ! if you fail to do so, then those merit were deserved and regardless of their sources your whole argument is wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason is clear.
Mikey runs around starting conversations then not finishing them.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-most-important-thread-you-can-contribute-to-this-yearno-kidding-5088852
i finish my conversations, i just don't finish the debate you want to start, you have been debating this topic for ages now, and you have not finished it, how will i make any difference towards the ending of this drama ?
plus, i have more things to do both in life and on the forum than having to reply to every single thing you or any other person say to me,in your topic i even ignored suchmoon reply to my post because i know it was going to be and endless debate with him/her, so i decided not to reply "because i am not obligated to reply to anybody if i don't want it, or if i have no time or mood for it" so it is nothing personal !
also the length of your replies makes it hard for me to follow, i really don't enjoy reading very long posts, i asked you a simple a question, i expect a simple a answer not a very long reply that will take me 30 mins to read, i am a slow reader, never went to English school so i really put a lot of effort trying to read a whole newspaper long reply, if you would sum your question in a line or two i will be happy to answer it " if i have the time and mood for it", i might be on my man-monthly-period and have no mood to reply, this shouldn't make you mad. just move on.
i do not understand why did you delete my post, i am really trying to help you and ease your pain, i mean the "gang" are still getting all the Merit despite your trials, so i gave you 2 things to work with.
1- admit to "yourself at least", that your theory is wrong > i explained why do i think their merit were circulated.
2- prove that they "intentionally" circulated the merit among themselves not based on quality post what so ever.
I do not think you have any other options, sorry to say bro, and if you are mad at me for trying to help, i am sorry again, put me on ignore if you wish.
