There’s no way to go silent now on these sprees (I do update my log with the criteria: 210 posts merited (by me) in just over 3 minutes – What’s got over me? (v 9.0) to keep an open track).

I've changed the criteria on this occasion, and remerited every non-banned, non-ignored (a posteriori) post I’ve merited over the last 30 days (as opposed to a longer period and 1 remerit only per person).

I could easily avoid doing this by upscaling my meriting habits (1->2 and 2->3), but long standing habits take time to break, and I’ve already reverted to my measly default 1 after the spree...

What is the rule for when Merit Sources get replenished?

From my observation: each sMerit respawns after exactly 30 days (up to the second).

I blame @Tryninja meritbot for spoiling another @ddmrddmr undercover action.
Random post merited with a single merit calls for another merit spree in action!
Waiting for final details!

Yep, I've also received merit from him today on an old topic he already merited almost one month ago.
I guess that he keeps a database of posts to merit at some point when his sMerit is getting replenished.
Unfortunately this is not a definitive proof that he's not human, since people can do this too (but obviously way less effective than DdmrDdmr)

Drop a good post and refresh it a few seconds away and DdmrDdmr merit is on it, you see him on all the boards and sub-board, at this point I must admit that DdmrDdmr is not human, no human can be this fast at the speed of light and efficient at the same time. He has merited 85% of the 3Millon users on the forum.

Agreed. That guy is a super human, I've never noticed but I had some response post and saw his smerit dropping on it. Among all those have been merited, its also fascinating to see that those post or comments are all good and not just a simple post.

One of the best user in the forum newbie and other users should look up to is DdmrDdmr. Really curious by his name actually like it means.

Were the boss to be contrary to my criteria, I have no issue letting them burn.

Boss agrees:

Quote from: theymos on October 21, 2018, 09:28:55 AM

It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.

No, you can defend yourself with the criteria you set for yourself, not with the criteria someone else is using (which is not that easy to mimic ©), and that is complementary to hours upon end of reading people’s posts.

Context also has a saying:1439 distinct accounts merited by me in 9.958 TXs, with a measly average of 1,12 Merits/TX, is not the same as a person only remeriting posts of his three pals over and over again.

The secret is in reading the criteria used, and furthermore, understanding it. Remeriting some posts with an additional +1, when they initially likely received a +1 to begin with, is basically the same as having given them +2 initially.

Remeriting by the criteria I use, is a means to avoid them being wasted. Were the boss to be contrary to my criteria, I have no issue letting them burn.

Well you could technically say that but if other users were to do that, I am sure that they are going to be on the hot water and being scrutinized. Well, if I do this kind of thing in the future at the least I can defend myself with this thread.

That’s what I do, but when I accumulate for a while, I remerit some of my previously already read and merited messages (no machine learning AI yet).

Is that even permitted or not eyebrow raising since you are spraying and praying basically your merits. I am sure that if I were to do that kind of thing, I would be flagged as merit abusing, what's the secret?

I checked the list. He sent the merits to the old posts which already merited by him. He has too much merits and no time so he sent merits equaaly to the old merited posts by himself.

Thanks to this thread, and these comments, I've found the answer.

I was curious about this and I was thinking of sending him a PM because it has happened to me the times he has merited me, that after a while he would send me a merit again for the same post. In fact the last time was yesterday, and I didn't know why this pattern was happening.

He was on drugs?

Man, I can't think of a drug in existence that would allow a human being to distribute that many merits across so many threads that quickly--so that's some evidence in favor of DmdrDmdr not being human. I looked at that page and was amazed myself. I don't know what kind of bot he used (even though he explained it), but hopefully those members who got some of those merits were truly deserving of them.

I wish I could spray merits like that, but I do it the old-fashioned way by judging posts as I read them (and 90% or more are pure crap).

Can't go on silent mode behind the scenes these days, with all those darn bots … (kidding)
186 profiles merited (by me) in under 3 minutes – What’s got over me? (v 8.0)

I log my sprees on the above thread, to record the criteria I used and the overall amount awarded. My intention was to merit 190 profiles, but 4 must have been banned or recently ignore accounts (either that, or my process skips a beat every now and then).

I felt a disturbance in the merits.

I just received a single, odd merit from @ddmrddmr.
I recognise another spree in ongoing.

@DdmrDdmr is also one of my top merit contributors, I am so thankful to him because it always give me motivation whenever I received merit, and most of the time is because of him as a beginner this thing is normal. I always checked his profile out of curiosity and he is always giving so many merits every day, I wonder how many hours he spends on this forum for giving merits and posting as well. He seems so loyal and a good member of this forum and it can be seen on his profile. Thanks a lot to him.

You can use splinter (a python package) to post via automation.

This goes far above my capabilities Sad

I used to have a working python script for posting, but it stopped working at some point and I don't know why. It looks like TryNinja ran into the same problems with wget as I did.
I don't really need a posting bot, but I could do nice things with it if I have one again. Posting a link as response to a post for instance, instead of just external data dumps.

That reminds me: I had a working python script for posting on the forum, but it stopped working 3 years ago and I never got a replacement. I could do fun things with automated posting.

You can use splinter (a python package) to post via automation. See lines 53-58 of my automod bot for how to login via automation. Logging in requires you to fill text boxes with text (your username and password), which is what you do when you post. You can find the documentation for filling text in a text box in your browser.

A drawback of using splinter is it doesn't have a good way of knowing if a page has finished loading. If you are running into issues with pages not loading quickly enough, you can use time.sleep(x) with x being the number of seconds you estimate will be sufficient for pages to load, or you can use the requests package. Requests is a little more tricky to use with sites requiring authentication.

I have no idea why, but I also keep getting the "session expired" error with the code I used previously (with the right sc/sessionid).

I tried this one on two different servers and it seems to be working (maybe some extra headers were required?):

edit:

Quote from: TryNinja on September 26, 2020, 09:27:33 PM

I have no idea how this works.

First of all, most of the headers are actually useless.

1. I can make this work:

Code:

wget 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post2' \
--no-http-keep-alive \
--no-cache \
--header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'cookie: __cfduid=AAAAAAAAAAAAAA; SMFCookie129=BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB; sessionid=CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC' \
--post-data 'subject=test&message=Posting with wget&topic=5278410&sc=DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD'

2. And I think adding those may help

Code:

--no-http-keep-alive \
--no-cache \

But sending it many times I notice that sometimes it gives me the "session expired" error, and sometimes it just works. It's a loterry. Tongue

I will make some experiments.

It's exactly what it says - a timeout, the sc value is valid only for a certain period. Always fetch a new sc before posting.

I did, but the sc I wget right before trying to post seems to expire instantly.
