Topic: [Discussion] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆 - page 29. (Read 20111 times)

Yeah I know, I didn't turn on my laptop for more than 2 months due to real life business. I only checked my profile occasionally without logging in via mobile, until I found the words like "News: vote for bitcointalk community awards" under my profile picture a few days ago and bookmarked it which I thought it was an interesting event with many sponsors.

Man the thread was created on 25^th of Jan which means you have 37 days for the voting and it hardly takes few minutes to cast your vote and still you are saying you are late? If you have been following the thread you could have done it earlier but now there's no chance.

I can feel your pain mate and it's really heart breaking to see a beautiful country has now turned to be a devastated land and how much pain the local residents must be feeling.Have 2 known ones obet there gone for medical studies and can feel how much the bad the situation is there from their talks
so be strong.But i truly appreciate your efforts and all other Ukrainian people's who stood unite in this difficult hour with their country and against the Russian army.Preparing food, shelter for family and giving training to people for all the petrol bombs is inspiring for all of us.

This award results can wait but at this time we all stand with you and Ukraine as morale support so all the best and be safe man.

Oh no, is it really closed to new voters? I've been paying attention to that thread for the past few days and intend to vote today. Unfortunately, I was late.


Sorry for what happened in your country, my friend.
May safety be with you and your family.

Trust me when I say I understand exactly what you're going through right now. I'm from Croatia, and I'm old enough to remember what it was like for us 30 years ago.

Keep your family's safety in mind, and ignore everything else. If you ever need shelter, know that you are always welcome in Croatia.

I feel very honored by the fact that icopress asked for my help on this matter and I am more than happy to help. For me is a sincere happiness that I can give him a hand of help, especially in such situations. I would have felt happy to help him also outside the actual actual world context, due to the deep friendship and respect between each other, but right now the feeling I have is way deeper.

Be well, my friend, and do all you can to keep your family alive! I pray for all your people to be well. And, in case you ever think about this -- Romania is welcoming all Ukrainians. There are already thousands here, all received shelter, food and good treatment. A mobile company is also offering free calls to and from Ukraine. In case you feel it's too dangerous for your family in Ukraine, you can safely suggest them to come here. I know you, as a man, are not allowed to leave the country, but women and children can do it.

If I can help with anything more please let me know. All my good thoughts are sent towards you.

And, as I already told you, you are a hero, icopress! A real world hero! I bow down in front of the actions you do for saving your country, family and people!

Do not worry about that!
Some do not even notice, unfortunately, that you had already informed that you were from Ukraine!

We just hope you can keep your family protected as much as possible. Now it's time to seek safety rather than browsing online forums.

Courage! Believe that better days will come!

What's happening in your country really breaks my heart. Following it day and night praying for the best..
Don't worry about this stuff here; your security and security of your family obviously has the highest priority.
If anyone here can help in some way, let us know; it's just hard to imagine how. For example how to get you fresh products (since you mentioned empty shops) and such..
Slava ukraini for sure..!

icopress, you fraudster

WHERE IS THE WINNERS?

Stop whining and meddling others in your problems. Why should others suffer because of your problems?

Your problem - it's your problems

Your situation is no excuse to scamming the competition

ICOPRESS - M0THERFUCKER IDIOTO

Don't take it as rudeness... but it pisses me off now how you all talk about the competition as if there are no more important problems.
I feel how my DNA is changing, I could not even imagine that those who speak the same language with me would attack my country.

That's why I don't give a fuck about the vote count at the moment, and also because:

• war on my land
• two out of three men in our family are already on the front lines
• 12 hours straight I hear a siren
• there are almost no products left in the shops
• in a day, I may have to transport my family again.

GazetaBitcoin will do the counting, so when he is ready, he or I will publish the results of the competition and so on.

All the peaceful sky above your head.

And now let's wait who will be the best spambuster among several candidates for 2021 at this event. I think you'll get to the fact that 90% of the votes belong to you in that category based on what I've seen. So I'm pretty sure you'll win that category for 2021.

I'm just curious, will each winner from each category get a special badge this time?

It is up to each one who gives merits to analyze which post gives merits. If they gave merit just because, they didn't do their best analysis.

I understand, that the fact that you voted in the copy & paste style, could put the justice of the lottery itself. But in this case, you will have to be the one who will evaluate the votes, having to cancel some if they don't comply with the rules. It's not the responsibility of whoever gave merits.

There is no problem with them. It would have been appreciated if those merit hunters or prize hunters were submitting their vote with their own research and experience. But most of them are just submitting their vote by following the previous posts of other users. Many of them got the false impression (but true) that they will easily receive merit by doing this.

Some respected forum member has given merit to those voters only who gave vote to them. Does those voting posts really deserve merits? Well, the respected forum members are giving merits to the voters as they appreciate the voters effort. But those voters doesn't deserve merit when it comes to copy-paste and following other users vote.

Here are some users who has earned their first merit in the forum just for submitting their vote (I haven't considered the initial merits as earned merit)


Yeah, the responsibility belongs to those members who are giving merits. But no-one was expecting such repetitive posts. Two respected members has agreed that they will not send merit to the voting post when they realized about those patterns.

The unethical attitude wouldn't appear if there was no prize pool for the voters, and the users were not receiving merits for voting. A lot of user didn't read the rules before posting their vote, otherwise they have ignored the rules. ‘It may be’ or ‘it may not be’ worth alarming, but everyone should stay aware of those unethical attitudes.

Sorry for the question, but:
What's the big problem with the guys who are looking for/hunting merits?

I don't think having this attitude makes sense, but whoever has to be aware of it is the one who gives the merits.

Because everyone gives the merits they want to whoever they want.

Therefore, if those who were giving merits to those who voted, had the obligation to be careful not to repeat the user.
The responsibility here belongs to those who give merits, who had to have this attention, if not, they should have been more careful.

Now, it is true that it was also an unethical attitude on the part of the users.

But it is also not worth alarming the situation so much.

Few more users who has submitted their vote more than once:

mumang siat: He has submitted the vote two times. He also reposted his vote once by quoting it. He has deleted his first post and the quoted repost. Then submitted a new vote on 21st February and received 1 merit in that. (Post history)

---

Mups099: The user has submitted the vote twice within few hours gap. However, he hasn't received any merits on his posts. After his first submission, he was informed by a forum members to not spam in the voting post as he doesn't meet the requirement. (Post history)

---

sifat08: He has also submitted his vote twice within few hours. He has received 2 merits in his first post, which isn't available now. And he received 1 merit in his second post. (Post history)

---

wtsimis: This user also posted his vote twice. Probably he has deleted his first submission as he was informed by a forum members that his vote won't be counted. He submitted another voting post on 22nd February when he has earned 50 merits. ‘wtsimis’ received 3 merits on his second voting post. (Post history)

I think that all winners should refuse to win this competition and ask sponsors (Sportsbet, CryptioS, ChipMixer, BestChange) to donate money for help to injured Ukrainian peaceful civilans

It will be fair

Perhaps you should learn to properly quote only the parts of previous posts which are of interest to your current post, not the entire post and, even more important, not other previous posts made by others. I see that you quoted again my entire post in your previous post, also it was not needed or, at least, it was not needed entirely. In this case, the part that you could have quoted, as being useful in your reply, would be only this part of my post: First of all, I have no idea to whom you are talking to, as you quoted both me and icopress. Second of all, your reply makes no sense to me. So practically I am stating that I am willing to do an act of charity, in case I'd win a prize in this contest, and you say that you bet I would not trade my wealth for the Ukrainians. What does this have to do with what I said? What is the connection?

You are a Hero member and, furthermore, a self-made Hero member, which means you are a decent forum contributor. At this stage you should also have known already how quote system works and what exactly to quote from previous posts, in order to avoid such confusions...

OK, you are right. I should quote only the last post, from icopress. I am sorry if it confused you.
And in fact I should quote only the part "all the Refugees who leave Ukraine are VERY wealthy people", as this was the sentence which I felt was not fair.

First of all, I have no idea to whom you are talking to, as you quoted both me and icopress. Second of all, your reply makes no sense to me. So practically I am stating that I am willing to do an act of charity, in case I'd win a prize in this contest, and you say that you bet I would not trade my wealth for the Ukrainians. What does this have to do with what I said? What is the connection? Or are you just trying to make your weekly posts for the signature campaign you are part of?


Third of all, what does this part of your post have to do with the first one?

I bet you wouldn't want to trade your wealth for theirs. Remember that they must travel 50-100-150, sometimes more km to the border - by foot or car. In comparison Africans from Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria had to pay for flight (to Belarus) or for illegal transport by sea, not difficult to guess what is more expensive. And just a last detail - who is running away from Africa are mostly men, to get social security and documents in EU and then invite their family; all men 18-60 y on Ukraine are obliged to stay and defend their country. On the border you will meet women and children only.

In general, this would be enough to provide 1 family for several months, if not more. In addition, as sad as it sounds, all the Refugees who leave Ukraine are VERY wealthy people. A simple ordinary Ukrainian cannot afford such a luxury even if he is provided with free housing.

I know ... and I also do everything within my capabilities, but I don't quite agree as it should be a voluntary choice of everyone and not morally coercive, and if someone decides to refuse any prize, I think he will declare it himself ... I can only recommend where the user could send these funds.
