Wait what ? I seriously have no idea about the accounts nikjain422,Sahyadri
Might be alt accounts of crptotrader007 or somebody else.

This and hasmukh_rawal are the only 2 accounts I hold.

I do


I agree, juggling with 20ish accounts at a time must be mentally and physically wearying.

I know you would have encountered dozens of people with some bullshit story to save their accounts which is why you think all the stories are bullshit. I guess you haven't read the story of ' The boy who cried wolf', call it bullshit too ? Anyway, I don't have any reasons to lie bud. It is what it is and I have whatever the truth was.

It's definitely not my account but yeah I do know this person. He is one of the people I have educated towards crypto.
I have had a meetup with him once too but that was all. Most of our conversations took place on calls and texts.
As I said, I used to charge a very little fee for educating people towards crypto I did charge him as well. But little did I knew he would put my address on the campaign for cutting down on transaction fees.
Most of the times he used to do exactly what I did like enrolling in the same campaign/copying my application posts (editing it later)etc...
I have even warned him so many times and what else can I do apart from that. It's not my mistake.

As I said, the guy used to follow me and  used to join campaigns which I did. It's hard to see the actual truth and easy to portray it as something else.
I have literally told the person to stop doing this act but I guess it was too late by then since he had already done this with some campaigns.

Yeah I was a part of the YuTü.Co.in project but then thats a different story. Things got messed up and I left the project(or they elected me out whatever they say).
My part was to promote the campaign in whatever way I can. We held a bounty campaign too where I was the manager but we did not receive a good response.
We barely got a few participants. I had no choice but to invite crptotrader007 to join the campaign since I cannot do it myself. This is the reason why I had selected him for the campaign.

It's hard to believe isn't it but I am telling the truth and I really have no reasons to lie. It might again sound bullshit to you but I can't do anything about that. People do judge others.
I really want to contribute much towards the forum bud since I like it so much around here. I have genuinely tried to obey all the rules so I request you not to blame me without knowing the actual truth.

P.S: Let me know what have you done to create awareness about crypto towards other people. Also, I am amused to know your skills of tracing an account and would be obliged if you teach me this.
May be this way I would be able to contribute much towards the forum.

That's a beautiful story bud, if I weren't immune to bullshit I'd be shedding tears right now. It's just that when it comes to signature campaign abuse, one thing I learned it's never one or two accounts, there are always more and more. You people have no shame.

This is your third alt account - crptotrader007

This is my favorite part, you were appointed to be the manager of the YuTü.Co.in bounty campaign. Look who you got accepted, I guess it wasn't much of a choice? smh

@ThePharmacist

Thanks


No dude, there is no way to delete an account. Bye!

I feel my time on the forum is over. I can't handle it anymore. Is there a way to delete the account from the forum?

On the basis of this reference I said what I said. Do you still want to say that it's not cheating?
Unfortunately, campaign managers haven't enrolled you in two campaigns, but the third campaign has accepted greeklogos.

Campaign managers haven't accepted you, that's not the case here, the case is you have attempted to cheat the campaigns by applying with your main and alt. Whereas every campaigns has a common term "Do not apply with multiple accounts".

Yes, you haven't scammed anyone and I'm very thankful to you.
But you have attempted many times to cheat signature campaigns. And lastly you have abused the merit system.

All these are considered prohibited in Bitcointalk.

Nobody is perfect bud. I have made mistakes in my past but what matters is how you learn from the mistakes and improve yourself. I had faced time when I had no job and my financial status was so low that I had to walk miles to save a few bucks.Signature campaigns helped me a lot in handling my expenses and I thank the forum for that with all my heart. It was during those times when I committed this mistake. The mistake I did was not to read the campaign rules clearly. Although I did apply for it at the same time, once I read the rules clearly, I decided not to go against the rules and I left the campaign not only with one but both of my accounts. You can also see this in the spreadsheet (post count is same) of that campaign.

While the forum rule is that alt accounts are accepted and few of the trusted members here have alt accounts too, I have tried not to spam/shitpost/or any activity which is against the forum rules. I respect the forum for whatever it is. After that incident I have tried not to commit such mistakes again. Do you still think I have done anything wrong or something that is against the forum, if yes please let me know before anybody flags my account. Flagging an account doesn't take much time but building it while complying the rules does take a lot of hardwork and time.

P.S: I have tried to contribute much towards the forum and the crypto community in general. Besides that I have also encouraged people to use crypto and provided them crypto knowledge whatever I had.
When I had no job, I have also educated other people to learn about crypto and this was one of the ways I started earning money through crypto.

You'll get that message if you have the section on ignore.  If you un-ignore the section and then go back and try to merit the post, it should work.  It's a pain in the ass that you have to do that, but maybe in 2075 when the new forum software gets launched there'll be a fix. 

Since we're about the Merit system...
I wanted to deserve a post that is in the Russian forum but I have the following message that tells me "You cannot merit that post" I've never seen this message before. I ask because I have never seen anyone asking the question, even if I have searched a little with the search feature.

Wow, feeling sorry for someone who has abused signature campaigns with multiple high-ranked accounts. Really? I wonder where does all this empathy come from?

And most importantly joining the same campaign with your alt account:

Somebody is in deep trouble here. I can't even imagine how hard it would be for somebody having a Hero rank to loose his profile as well as reputation, the latter is most important.
I am strictly against merit abuse and I don't think people should take it for a joke. The think Taki did is wrong and I know bitcointalk never forgives anybody for breaking any of it's rules regardless of the rank.
This is the reason why every merit I give to others is damn precious to me. To be honest, I still have most of the airdropped merits and I will only merit to posts which are truly deserving though it takes time.
Besides that, I have never merited a post more than a single merit because I think meriting a post is like highlighting a quality post and even a single merit can do that task.
Why to waste multiple merits for a single post ? I feel sorry for Taki because if I were in his place it would be very hard for me.

Lol, I didn't ignore anything--I was looking for Taki's replies when I last checked this thread and missed that connection. 

Well, now.  If Taki is ban-evading, all of this pleading on his part is going to be so much more futile than it already is.  Also please don't PM me, Taki.  Even if I had any pull with the members who tagged you, I would not be inclined to help you.  I pretty much said what I think you ought to do, which is to accept the consequences of your actions. 

And why did you give me all those merits for my last post?  That looks like an obvious attempt to buy some help, so don't drag me down with you.  Looks like you might not only be getting permanent red trust but a permaban as well.  We'll see how this all plays out.

The point is:
If you send huge amount of merit to a boring, one-line, non-sense, uncontructive, incomprehensive post, and the receivers can get benefits from those merits to rank up to higher level. It is merit abusements.
In contrast, if you send same amount of merits to Legendary, who can not rank up more, it is less likely merit abusements.
In such cases of huge amount of merits sent to Legendary, it should be called as merit inappropriate usages, not merit abusements.
It means Legendary can send their sMerits around, to constructive, helpful posts as their ways to support lower rank users and stimulate them to contribute more; or they can send their smerits to joking posts, as their ways to relax, something like this.
I do not defend such approach because it is one of the way to destroy valuable smerits, and I don't support it.

Why there are a bit difference?
If you look deeper, you can easily see that merits strongly correlated with rank system, and user ranks, right?


To sum up, there are two indicators to identify merit abusements:
- Amount of merits sent to one posts
- The role of those merits to receivers (can help them rank up or not)

Maybe, it is a little bit un-fair treatments between Legendary and other ranks, maybe I am wrong somehow, but it is my thoughts.  

Thank You for stating, but I think some users here would have already reported it.

I don't know why are you ignoring the above listed facts but the person you are explaining is evading a ban.

And that's the point here.  Forty merits for a single post, especially to a low-ranked shitposter, is excessive in the extreme.  Had Taki given something like 2 merits for that post, nobody would ever have noticed.  Instead, he's suffering the consequences for helping a friend who might not be a friend at all. 

Hard to say how I'd feel, since I wouldn't send 40 merits to either a friend or an alt account.  I have a feeling I'd probably know I deserved whatever was coming to me and just move on, which is what you should do.  Lauda and TMAN don't often remove negs as far as I know, so you're going to have a hell of a hard time getting rid of the ones you got. 

As far as staying silent goes, that's your best bet.  If you keep making noise, you're going to end up on ignore lists and have your PMs blocked, and that'll make it near impossible to get anyone to remove their tags.

I'm not sure how often mods look through topics to ban people, you can make it easier for them by reporting the posts where Taki and greeklogos have both shared this addy: 0xea5944EDdF486BC43Ab9Be4Be34De7486B15E69e

and point out that SvenBomvolen has also used the same address and is banned now.

This is why I wrote this part.

Yeah but not 40 Merit’s. Come on!
