Topic: How can a hero account only have 99 posts? - page 2. (Read 3927 times)
He is still an Hero member, and I do not think his rank will be downgraded (but for security we should wait the next activity day - but I am not convicted). Maybe it is not a bug, but I thing wanted.
You can find some of his earlier posts here:

It stops at August 2014 because Bitcointa.lk stopped mirroring the forums properly at around that time.
Don't you realize the only thing you contribute to this forum is the enabling of scammers? So, you're calling out one of your own. Good for you. WTF else do you think people do with _bought_ accounts?
I would think they're mainly used for signature campaigns. Escrow is advisable when dealing with even senior members and above.

He has scammed several times over several accounts.

Is not like people can do a lot with bought accounts, most of the accounts that are sold have no positive trust at all so the only thing you can use them is for sig campaigns or any other campaigns, even if they have a little bit of trust, you can always use escrow and be 100% safe in any trade

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
This is a bit interesting as its been a day and I still see the hero status in addition the posts have increased by two
As a default it tends to auto update that so it must be a SMF bug as it should be once every 30 mins

30 minutes was changed to 60 minutes.
P.S.
The only problem I can see is what if we go away hiking for a few months, All our "credits" will have run out, Effectively making a long term service appear like a new account?
Activity doesn't decrease unless posts are deleted. It's a measure of total activity, not recent activity.

The activity Synced, but the Rank didnt. Is it supposed to be like that? He deleted all previous posts, so that his post count went down and the activity too. But does the rank stay at the highest you have achieved no matter how much activity you have lost?
This is exactly what I think happens with this forum. Although the activity levels drop, I don't think the system will automatically demote users to lower ranks. However I'm sure an admin could manually change his rank to Member now, because he should be ranked as one with that activity.

There's the empirical answer to this coming either today or next tuesday or the one after that. Right? If no one really knows for sure, we'll find out soon enough.
The rank relies on the activity and should thus update with the activity. Activity is updated every 30 minutes IIRC.
And yet, at the time of this writing, he still appears as Hero but with activity 100. So, we'll see if the rank is updated on another Tuesday (or never). It's definitely been more than 30 minutes

He is no longer a hero member, it just takes time for the activity to update if I'm correct.
google cache shows he used to have 800+ posts. His recent posts page shows up as 6 pages (20 posts each page) for me, so there aren't that many posts that are in trashcan. I'm guessing that he deleted his posts.
He deleted his posts because he is trying to cover up evidence of him scamming. If you look at threads he created the entire conversation has nothing to do with the title of the thread nor what he edited the OP to (note the edit time). Below are a few examples:https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11198958

And there are plenty more
back on topic, if he deleted his posts, shouldn't he have his rank change?
Also if he will delete all his posts I am sure if someone wants them, he should only send a PM to an admin (and most probable those posts will be re-added).
I have seen this behaviour previously. It's probably a SMF bug.
I don't see the point. He is taking a lot of pains for nothing.
He might have used a bot?
His threads probably shouldn't be in the trashcan. He edited most of the OPs in threads he created to make it misleading as to what was being discussed (and he moved them to incorrect sections).

It is not a bug, because the activity (so also the ranks) is updated every hour.
I have done this before, when I was Jr member, I deleted few post, and after 30 - 60 minutes my rank back to newbie.
So it is only a question of 'time' and he will lose his Hero rank, I am waiting to see the change.

Yes we have understand he deleted a lot of his posts, but will he lose his hero status or not?

Is it possible for the staff or even the admin to alter his personal message/signature to something that warns users that he is not an actual Hero member and is a potential scammer? Even though Quickseller is certain, do we have enough incriminating evidence to say that TheGambler is a scam account?
He has negative trust. He had such negative trust even when he was a "hero" account. IMO his accounts should be given scammer tags so he can no longer edit/delete his previous posts as he took so much time to do. There is proof that he is a scammer in this post/thread as he actually admitted to stealing and being a part of a ponzi (which happens to be the post with his dox)
I have read and evaluated the thread's information and the replies. I must commend you for the effort of compiling all that information - all the separate pieces of the puzzle fit together. Since you have more evidence against him and he is not willing to provide explanations as to how he got this information, I am inclined to believe you over him, but I wouldn't pass a definite verdict just yet. I agree that his account and his confirmed alts should be given scammer tags in the interest if the forum's community. I think theymos needs to take a look at this, and the authorities could get involved if he really did scam 100BTC off the forums.
