Topic: [Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 - page 16. (Read 19742 times)

Potentially, unfair too if the other sponsors are doing it for publicity, and then Ledger is getting it for free. However, I absolutely agree, it should be a standard, even if Ledger were willing to sponsor the event, I'd rather not advocate for services or products which aren't open source.

Unfortunately, a lot of these physical prizes often get rejected too, since users aren't willing to give up their personal information to receive them.

Proposal: let's not reward anti-heroes this year.
Even better proposal: let's make them reward us! Lol.

Why is the person in first place rewarded with a Ledger? Does Ledger sponsor this? No, as far as I can tell. It's just Betnomi (and will be sponsored by CryptioS later on?). Ledger is closed-source and not recommended.

That would make a proxy banned user the winner two years in a row. Makes me wonder which other users we've missed out of because of anti spam measures.

I was surprised to see my name as a candidate of the discovery of the year. PowerGlove will win that position without stress. Congratulations in advance. That is my prediction on him.

If I did, perhaps the person deserved to be in this conversation; there were so many igehhh tags in the comment that I could have misplaced some quotes; however, that's how my bot works, and I'm too old and busy to edit codes right now.

Of course, every single good report counts as a good stat, and you may be eligible to be voted on as the best scam buster.

You quoted wrong person flumpnuggets 😘
Anything over 16 and over 89% accuracy is of course a good stat 🤣

Well, my math is bad, this isn't as bad as I had feared; good enough, we still have some right candidates who have been voted for the right category; these users are top-tier spam busters with a track record of reporting. Anyway, thanks for the statistics. This is the type of election we want to see. If I have some free time, I'd like to compile some statistics on some of the copy and past gangs and users who were voted for in the wrong category.

Given the high level of copy and past voting going on, I took a look at the first page and saw two exact match votes with little spinning, 25-30mins apart, which I posted somewhere on this thread, but I'm too lazy to link it here. That being said, I'm enjoying the spam bursting category so far. And as for my report stats, I gave up a long time ago, because about 30+ cases are still unhandled, reporting in the gambling section is a headache, so I decided to make a list of spammers, remove the ones who improved after a few conversations, and send the rest to their campaign managers for evaluation, and the results have been good so far.

my report stats isn't bad either. i cant compete with bot users. no way.

guys, what progress are we talking about? i have not shown enough already?

Oh well, I do have an idea about your reports From here: Guess the number of report I made and reward for two highest reporter. See? If someone really wants to find an information, it can be found... More or less difficult, but it can be found...

However, I appreciate your honesty about considering it wrong to be voted at Best SpamBuster category. But I wrote that post as it intrigued me about who was igehhh talking about. As far as I see, none of the Top 3 made only 500-1000 reports...

^That + some secrets of the job to say so -- Kidding. However, in order to be able to calculate the number of votes I have to keep an evidence... By keeping the evidence is easier to see some numbers at some point in time. I don't update all the evidence every day, but I am gathering it during the entire contest...

However, I am not sure if you asked how I managed to see how many votes were gathered so far or if you asked how I could see the numbers of reports made by various users. About the number of votes I already replied. About the number of reports -- you already know the topic with report records. And additionally, theymos posts, sometimes, statistics (in a year for the previous year) of previous year's top reporters. From there you can also make an image...

Thank you, lovesmayfamilis, for the kind words! You are one of the first which appreciated my work here... I will always remember that... (Now, as that old topic of mine came through my head, I realize that I should update it a little...)

---

Lol abut what you said about igehhh =))) However, BitcoinGirl.Club was honest man -- and he showed his progress.

And about igehhh, it seems he just threw the words and fled the premises... Oh well, maybe he will return and explain what he meant...

Once you "made your hand", to say so, it takes much less time than you think

The best way in my opinion would be to copy, and paste the blank template without actually looking at anyone else's submissions. Then, come up with your picks. That way, you aren't getting influenced by other users votes, and you're actively thinking about who should go in each category. Then, for the final review process, go over the votes of others, and see if you've simply just forgotten about someone. If you have, you can compare your vote to their vote, and do some thinking on which one is more deserving.

That's probably the best way to go about it without being influenced, and bias too much. Since, I think what a lot of users do is if they can't think of someone themselves for a certain category they'll just copy the most popular choice.

I guess not many will be doing that , only that ones that have a kind of experience of the Forum and Users and whats going on will be edit there votes.
Looks like there are a few Users they just vote without knowing really the categories and what it means and possible they just copy and paste names with a little changing.

Wait a minute, I am not complaining about any of it. Sh*t how you misunderstood it. I was saying it's unfair to vote me for spambuster category. But I also see there are things that are worth improving like:
Giving mods the vote for spambusters
Fail of the year and Event of the year seems to be not going to any specific users
Miss Bitcointalk because we really don't know who is what sex etc

But in any way, I never showed my disappointment. In fact, I am enjoying the nominations I am receiving in Miss bitcointalk category LOL
The whole point of the award discussion is to have fun. I think it's working for me.

I highly doubt, they do it that way. It will take hours even days to check all the entries.

If you're referring to how GazetaBitcoin found the data in the post you quoted, then I guess it doesn't take a genius. Just go through the votes of the people who made their choices, and you will see that you were given three votes. And yes, I admire the ability of Ratimov and GazetaBitcoin to create a bunch of spam reports in such a large number.
But these people did not hide their successes; I have already shown you the topic where they proved it. However, if you want to compete with them , why don't you, I think, and igehhh, since he is very much outraged by the unfairness of the elections, show your progress?
Probably people will re-evaluate because we have the right to correct votes until the end of the voting.

Whoever these three voters are, they have no idea that the number of reports I have is 16 with 89% accuracy LOL. I don't know about others but I saw how aggressive Ratimov is. Over 100k reports are not something even believable. When someone is voting for me while there are others with 100k reports then they are just simply making fun of it or they are completely ignorant.

I am curious how do you find the numbers. If I understand, you are using Ninjastic but how do you get the detail numbers?

I just took a glance at first 70-80 votes (out of 100) and, so far, this is how this top look like so far: GazetaBitcoin (22 votes), lovesmayfamilis (18 votes), Ratimov (18 votes), mprep (6 votes), Lafu (5 votes), actmyname (4 votes), The Pharmacist (3 votes), BitcoinGirl.Club (3 votes), Welsh (2 votes), SFR10 (2 votes), suchmoon (2 votes) and 13 more users with 1 vote each. I did not count with 100% attention, I just took a glance, so there may be minor differences. But I did it because you made me curious.

About which top 3 nominees are you referring by saying they can't even boast 500-1000 good reports?

This is true. Reporting "duty" is most of the time a silent one...

Even if he likes he will not do anything unless the PowerGlove guy is going to write some code and making it available for theymos LOL. He is a lazy fat man lying on his couch eating pizza and fried chicken. 😉

No flumpnuggets are allowed here 🤣

I never knew you're straight, I thought you removed something in-between your legs. Is a 60+ year old allowed to join the bitcoin girl club? I wish to turn woman with nice titts to show my ex how's it's been done.

Since the OP made it clear, all merited posts should be disqualified, but the disadvantage is much more dangerous: a random user can send a ton of merits to all votes and ruin the party for everyone. You know how much thyemos despise editing code? Disabling merit is a good solution, but will theymos like the ideal?

WTF! I did not see that was coming 😂
Didn't I tell before that I am straight?

All these voters are embarrassing me and I can clearly see in the coming years I will have to take it more unless I do something about the username I have LOL

Next time theymos needs to disable merit from the thread.😉

If theymos do not organize an official award for the people on the backend, we will have this conversation again in 2023 and probably 2030 if the forum is still running smoothly ( or at least give us yearly stats). We can't help but vote for the popular ones who are also helping in some way when we're posting and having fun. We have a category for the best spamburster, but the top three nominees so far can't even boast of 500-1000 successful reports, but I'm sure there are a few unpopular ones with 10k+ reports who aren't getting voted for.

I don't mean to single out Mr Big or anyone there, it was just an example since that's what I see. Although, I also thought that a lot of the user base might not even be that familiar with them since they're generally on the quieter side of things. Maybe, not so much in the local section I haven't checked. I get the impression all moderators put a shift in, but we do get some reward, theymos makes sure of that which we all appreciate.

However, that's just an example I thought it would be the easiest to make. There's a ton of users out there that dedicate their time to helping new users, the merit sources that I mentioned. It's a shame that some of the best users out there, aren't popular simply because they're dedicating their time to the above examples, instead of engaging as much as the popular choices.

Very well put, Gazeta. Thank you for clarifying this (not that I expected anything different, by the way).
Also you reminded me that satoshi is a banned account, something I think I knew, but for sure I forgot about.
