Topic: [Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 - page 16. (Read 20111 times)

Maybe this cherry is golden, if the forum, above all, chooses this member. The case of a probable first ban and the appearance of a second account that has proven its usefulness looks like a clear mistake or accident. PowerGlove didn't look like a rookie from the start, he was very good at knowing who was who. Nevertheless, in spite of everything, more such users are needed.

I think I'm going to ask something that has already been discussed here, but in the midst of so much information, it must have escaped me. I apologize.

But today I made my choices, and I noticed that this year we don't have a category for "best" moderator. Was it for any particular reason?

Both users were using privacy measures.

This:

Proxybans are meant for banned users who create new accounts, but it also hits users who use VPN or Tor.

They're guilty of wanting privacy
I've always felt like the proxyban makes innocent victims, and at least I can do something about it now. Voting them as Discovery of the Year is just the cherry on the cake

What is a proxy ban?

Is it that a member is accidentally getting banned because s/he appears to be some banned member or is it that such member is getting around their having had been banned because they are using a VPN or some other method of connecting to the forum?

If there is an accusation of wrong behavior or just information that such member is being "innocently" caught up in some wrong accusations, and surely PowerGlove is still active..

For sure, I am not very familiar with how to use some of the scam, spam or other ways that members might have accounts that are potentially of previously banned members.. or if they might be using services that cause them to be confused with previously banned members.. even though sometimes personality and/or writing pattern (substance) might "give some clues" in terms of if members might have been previously banned or just mistakenly associated with previously banned members.

That is an interesting fact. Out of curiosity, did PowerGlove ever mention if he was proxy banned for using a VPN or direct internet connection?

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 🤣
