Topic: [Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 - page 26. (Read 19698 times)

If the contest is suspended so the sponsor deals too. There are no point to run a contest which is obviously is not serving a fair purpose. It's clear that some sort of manipulation and incentivized with merit. The sponsors can do the same for the next event if they are still interested. Fortunately for them, with this one they got some free advertising for sure.

It does not look good that every year you find a hole but still awarding the crown to those who used the hole.

Fair enough, maybe ask admin to disable meriting the post at all. Or give a bold warning that if one sent merit and found abusing the rule then DT members will be requested to tag them. At least this will create so fear in their mind. And if anyone dares to brake the rules then as the rules said, give them a paint in their wall.

Point is, give enough warning so that they do not abuse the good initiative.

I would say that the contest still has to end if nothing at least because of the sponsor. (sounds like a serious sports competition)


So, what about merited voting posts? whether they will be taken into consideration or he will be suspended like the one who sent the merit?
if it will be such a strict rule I can give merits to random posts, and influence, for example, others to be rejected.

Didn't we have similar controversy last year as well. A user who was giving merit to guys last year and he became a winner in one category? We should have learnt something from that experience.

Let me put my two sat in this conversation.

I voted for El duderino_. He sent me 4 merit. Will the community say that I voted him because to get those 4 merits?
Ratimov seems sending merit to those who mentioned him at least once at least after checking some post before and after my voting post. Will we say that those who voted for Ratimov knew that they will get merit for it?

What will and what will not is an argument but it seems merit was playing a vital role in this fun event which none of us expected. There are always those culprits who are okay to ruin the fun to get their personal gains.

I think since this has gone out of the hand, it's better to suspended this season and from the next season make a strict rule that no one is allowed to send merit to any post. If anyone found to send merit to a post that contains his nomination or even do not contain his nomination they will be just disqualified. Consider this, when a name is always in front of you, you are biased to mention the name. Watch it! This is a classic example of the power of suggestion that works with the subconscious mind.

I think you misread what I wrote. I said to be disqualified all those which are sending merits to voters. By doing so they encourage some voters to vote for them, thus influencing the final result, in an abusive way. Please read the posts made within this thread from page 12 forward and you'll understand better. Then please read this post to understand even better.


This suggestion, together with the previous one, were both aimed to offer more fairness to the competition. This contest was made 2 years in a row now and we noticed that there are ways of abusing it and influencing final results. Therefore I made some suggestions for better preventing fraud.

Is it like saying someone standing in for an election shouldn't vote? I really don't understand that point of yours. Nonetheless, I'm suggesting that every comment on the voting thread shouldn't be merited once the thread is opened going forward. No merit should be sent at all, whether to nomination posts or to comments suggested during the voting process. I believe meriting posts tilts the votes. I'm not sure I merited any post that nominated me.

That will be another good way to look at it because those within the ranks mentioned may not have been long in the forum to truly understand its activities and to be familiar with some of the usernames to the point of  knowing what categories to nominate them for.

He transferred the counting task to GazetaBitcoin. DYOR before whining and crying all day. I can't stand it anymore; will put you on Ignore now.

He basically is. Check his topic:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pov-war-in-ukraine-5387774

Then I had a different opinion about him



But when I realized what icopress really is, then everything fell into place. icopress - is a political addicted person.

This contest was originally dishonest. But since icopress originally introduced such stupid rules - He must to follow them. Changing the rules during calculating competition results - even worse & unfairer



As my BSV followers from russian sub reports to me - your russian speech look likes an accent of US speaking user. And as you know, any Ukrainian has a good Russian speech

You are using pronouns incorrectly. BTW, nobody seen any word of ukrainian from you

icopress - you don't speak both Russian and Ukrainian


WHO ARE YOU MR. DARKNETIAN?




If that's true, why does icopress keep hanging out on the forum? Because while he counts the votes - a bomb can fly into him. Why he does not transfer the managing of the competition to someone from DT?

This is very stupid. If all this is true. He must going to build barricades instead of wasting time there. Freeze that stupid competition or transfer management of competition to a trusted person

You missed a good opportunity to transfer competition management to Ratimov. He would honestly count the votes. Because I don’t see anyone else who would be successful in this role

Either icopress doesn't value his life, or he's not who he claims to be.

Looooooool what were the odds for this post to exist?!

Thank you as well I am glad I can help you. If you want, fore more info about various illustrious forum members, you can check this topic. There is very much history well detailed there.

That's what happens when people disconnect their brains from their fingers and start responding to gigamegtrolls like ExcimerBitcoinSVkorner.

It happened here. Ironic, isn't it?

Good grief. I just checked the Awards thread for the first time in several months after trying to ignore it, and it has already become a dumpster fire for arguments and personal attacks!

In my opinion, if icopress is not able to process the votes and determine the winners at this time (which is completely understandable), then he should lock this discussion thread and unlock it periodically so he or Gazeta can post periodic updates about the contest status. And then leave it unlocked once the winners are announced. This will put a halt to the garbage that's been going on in the last dozen or so posts.

You're not helping him by putting pressure on him to finish the results.

It feels very unfair to bombard him with complaints about the contest when he's got more important priorities to deal with at the moment - namely, getting out of Ukraine alive with his family.

I didn't vote, or was voted for, so speaking as a neutral here.

Gotcha, thank yo so much! Your explanations seem realistic, honestly.

Thick skin shouldn't even be required not to get butthurt over a fun online event such as this. But I agree that it's always good to have one!

Where did this discrimination against Ratimov or his Russian origin happen exactly? Did I miss something or are you just deliberately trying to cause controversy here? I don't see it in this thread. Did it happen in the local section?

Okay, your right... I understand his situation...
But it is not a reason to discriminate good russian users. Ratimov - is a politically neutral person.

I hate Timelord, he is a sexcoin scammer

I would encourage everyone to come join the Thick Skin Gang!

As always, 1miau speaks the voice of ration. Only a blind one would not observe everything that 1miau emphasized so well here. Fortunately, most of us are not blind.

n0nce, you may be too new here to know the "iconic figures" of the forum (I suggest you to read mostly the unedited posts from ninjastic.space). Bitcoin SV and others may suffer from severe dementia or, at least, they share the same syndromes. Similar to the old troll Timelord2067 (which, probably after evading from a mental institution started to believe that he lives on Galiffrey), Bitcoin SV probably took him as a mentor and started editing his posts with something which is somehow exactly the opposite of what he stated before. It is not unseen before and, after smoking certain types of shrooms it is possible to get such a severe brain damage that to think exactly the opposite of what you stated just 10 minutes earlier.

But not to worry, we all know them and, in time, you'll also get to know better these "remarkable figures".

It was changed again... Check history here: https://ninjastic.space/post/59518272
One last comment: It should be obvious to anyone with any ability of compassion, but you honestly said this?

How is he a contest cheater if he doesn't hold the funds and he's just busy saving his family from being bombed on?
I can't believe you're being honest here and actually meaning the things you are saying.

He even finds the time to log onto a forum and finding someone (GazetaBitcoin) he trusts to count the votes!
Honestly, I don't know if I would even think about an online contest if my country was under existential threat and attack.

explaining for the stupid

Initially, I thought that icopress was an honest person, but then I realized who he really is.

At March 04, 2022, 05:24:26 PM I am finally realized how slick and deceitful he is

We are all people and we can all change our minds about people, especially if it turns out that a person is dishonest contest cheater.

Don't worry, he's a troll with apparently nothing good to do with his time.

I have to use archive with the quotes since he seems to edit often.

Just putting out the facts here, no further comment from me.

You should not to discriminate competition participants for political reason - if you don't want to be redtagged & distrusted. And you may also be excluded from the administrating of following contests because of the loss of confidence in you
