Topic: Merit requirement for jr.member (Read 455 times)

If i sound eliteish there is definitely something wrong with my post! I was very frustrated yesterday when creating the post. My spot in the forum is first of all altcoins. They are what interest me the most. And that is the part with most spam i think, at least it feels like it!

Could i ask which part of my post was eliteish?

You are sounding elitetish. Just supposed you are a newbie would you in your best frame of mind suggest this? The team that worked out the merit system did a great job. That people are buying account is not because of cheap rank up to Jr member, but something else which I believe will be dealt with at the right time.

Sorry pal but im not agreed with your opinion. Newbies ame babyborn of this forum, when they learn the basical things here they awarded with Jr. Member. note that Jr. Member only get the basics. they are still learning and need more serious discussing. why deter them to reach Jr. member anymore?

People are not contented what blessings came on themselves, sometimes people abused opportunities given to them. Like here the forum some members disregard the rules and regulations they do not follow properly they played unfair to other members. That's why Members sacrificing to earn merit in a good way, we hope this scenario vanish we hope others play with in a good ways that others deserves.

I must do my site about Unicorns. It's really quite an interesting idea, and it shows the creativity of man in the past.

Now i should have saved the one smerit for a better post, but that was just hilarious!

Where did you find a unicorn?

BTW hope this helps with your Unicorn/Horse : https://ecoequine.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/10-tips-for-getting-water-into-your-horse/

 

Wow that was something to come back to

About the 5 merit. I misunderstood and thought it would refresh every month so tested with 5 when i should have tested with 1.
However i am happy with how he manages the bounties so giving him some merit for it is still justified. What should be rewarded with merit is different from user to user. The multi account possibilty is not something i knew about before now.
I must say though, i dont care if the mulit account is true. As long as the posts made with alts are of good quality and not shitposts to reach the requirement. But i accept that not all see it the same way. Just like merit which i am a fan of but not alot of the new members.

Actualy i am not only in the same campaign now. This is the third campaign where i have followed him. First globcoin, then PolicyPal and now fishcoin. I will do you a favor and say already i got bonus on all three of them.
Globcoin extra was something the dev team told him directly. PAL and now fishcoin is because is put in alot more work than the common bounty hunter.
I only choose bounties where i believe in the product, and therefor have done some research and helps keep the community informed. Not strange that i follow someone who recognize me and have bounties where i like the product?

That both of us received ETH from the same address was interesting! Not sure how that happened, but the wallet does have 1017256 txns and i have only transfered ETH twice, both times from exchange directly.
I do talk to him on telegram and know he is not from my country so the IP adresses should prove we are not in the same location. However VPN could be used by people with multiple accounts so dont think it actualy could help

This was not really on topic but felt i had to reply. If you want to continiue the discussion and are not satisfied with my answers il gladly do so in another thread where it should be. Just PM me the link.

Also thank you for the support IsuruMaduranga. And i gotta say i like your personal text, almost the same!  

Edit: Checked some more transactions. It is from Kucoin, and you can see the same address sendt to other wallets which then sendt it to other exchanges. So that should end the discussion.

You can lead a Unicorn to water but you can't make em drink it eh??   

Don't you think only 1 time is enough?

You should know that a lot of Merit cheater tagged with olny 1 cheating time )

This one is just an additional evidence to prove that they're abusing bounty campaign by alt account. The main evidence is that they received ETH from the same ETH address.

I think you should stop protecting for this guy cause hua_hui is already known as lorylore, namelessname, BlockFolksHQ. hua_hui is abusing bounty campaigns managed by himself and Fishcoin bounty campaign is an example.

I just don't understand why this bounty manager still don't get tagged by DT member or Mod.

I agree with you. But this person has not created any merit related posts before. Check the post history.


Only 2 time in the very beginning of the merit system in the same thread. It is quite possible because many people played with the merits and gave merits generously those days.


Is this a fair evidence???


?? Maybe they are friends or working or managing the same bounty campaign.




Two people can be received Eth from same address. This implies they know each other or working together.

---

What are you trying to say? This person is a merit hunter or other account you mentioned is the alt of this person???
Evidences are not enough and why did you report this here??? There is a separate thread for reporting merit abusers. (This person is not a merit abuser clearly.)
I really couldn't get what you tried to say.

That's not really putting blame on anyone.  I've heard it from people in southeast Asia, right on this forum, that you can live off of sig campaign earnings, and live well.  I don't know how far $1 stretches over there, but I'm assuming in some of the poorer countries it can buy a hell of a lot more than it can in the US.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

There was a thread a while ago, with the title something like "How many Cokes can 1BTC (or $1) buy?", I can't remember exactly but it was interesting.  And I would suggest that not only are people in poor countries desperate to get into these campaigns, most of the shitposting comes from--you guessed it!--countries where English is NOT the primary language.  So you might feel offended by people talking about 3rd world countries, but they're well-represented on bitcointalk and usually not in a good way.  It's not true in every case, of course, but I've seen "Philippines" in enough shitposters' profiles to know that Canada and the US and England are not the ones responsible for the spamming that goes on here.

Merit system is just like having a pretty face on facebook and getting like from it and If you didn't have that pretty face then no likes for you. Sometimes it's also for fame, or friendliness. I don't think that if you post high quality comments here you would get merited, it's just that you need some friends to send you merits or some people you could make fun of. It's not the quality, it's people on people.

As I can see, Merit cheater often create topic to complain or give new suggestion to other member about Merit system and you're not an exception .

As I can see you and hua_hui sent Merit to each other:



You and hua_hui are being in the same bounty campaign and hua_hui is also manager of this campaign.

But the strange thing is you are just a Full Member but you received payrate as a Sr. Member.



But the most important thing is you and hua_hui received ETH from the same ETH address: 0x2B5634C42055806a59e9107ED44D43c426E58258

It seem like a address of any crypto exchange so you and hua_hui are using the same exchange account???

People who create accounts on bitcointalk and rank up have basic computer literacy, access to a computer/smartphone and the internet. This would put them in the very top of the population of third world countries. Their time could definitely be put to better use.

You got me there, as i have no proof of it being third world. It is indeed more a suspicion, which i got from other members and then agreed with.

As for proof it is worth something:


And 20 dollar would not be worth the work even with bots for richer countries unless they sold a very high volume.
When you look at average monthly incom on poorer countries however even one account a month is quite substansial!
Madagasker (33 USD), Congo (36 USD), Afghanistan (48 USD), Ethiopia (55 USD) and Nepal (61 USD) is just some examples. (Taken from worlddata.)

You needed to create your alt anonymously, and provide your result after achieving N merit. Your name is known and your alt puts what they know is you and it turns out this is an incorrect experiment

I have proposed the idea that the newbie was train and took a test and then began to write on the forum. I myself started with hunting bounty but then I left it now basically read the forum

I gave you a merit for that post because I agree with the sentiment behind it. However, Ginzink makes a valid point. Many of the anti-merit posts and threads are from 3rd world posters who state specifically that merit is taking away their income via the forum, and they seem to feel that they have a right to it. They also state that the meagre bonuses they can earn make a significant difference to their lifestyle.

Bitcoin use is important in 3rd world countries, and we need representatives from their communities. However, that doesn't mean that we have to accept their begging, or their demands for the right to be paid for polluting the boards. I've tried a number of things to help them to improve their posting skills, and to become valable members of Bitcoin Talk, but very few bother to make any effortsto improve themselves. My latest effort is Fit to Talk English , but only one person has bothered to sign up. I hoped that by removing the risk of attack and accusations of sh*t posting in this forum, I could help people to improve their posting. However, nobody can help them, if they don't want to help themselves.

Don't feel humble. I'm politically incorrect, and most people seem to disagree with me all the time.

I don't think I said that ranks don't matter. I think they are a way for the forum to say thank you for supporting the boards, and that we value your opinion. Rank probably doesn't matter for Talk Merit, as that is just supposed to get me away from discussing merit. Also it is not really a normal signup. Going from brand new to Junior member in 14 days is probably not usual. The sad thing really is that it was done by talking about merit, and it may be another indication that a merit board would be a useful addition here.

Here we go on blaming the third world countries again. Do you have any proof that the ones buying the accounts are from a third world country? Because you are saying that they are "quite decent"? Also nobody told us that the improvements in the forum in terms of reducing spam and shot post will be instant. This people who recently joined or still is in a low rank account still has time to improve their writing skills. We cannot expect them to adjust quickly on the new merit system right away.
