Ah,,, I feel like an idiot, but thank you!

... it sometimes takes a little digging though. 

Thanks, how do you see the password change so far back? I looked at seclog.php?

I tagged him as well.

Password changed then joins signature campaign in December, combined with the change in posting behavior, looks like it has likely switched hands and shouldn't be trusted.

I am pretty sure this account has been hacked or sold - I used to argue with this guy back in 2014, and he was clearly English. I even know his name IRL, but the last 2 pages of posts are clearly not his, they are just shitposts and bounty crap.

Indeed and I didn't deny that I am guilty though I'm not the only one who are doing such wrong doings.
I am sorry and the very least I can do now is to accept whatever you guys will say about me.
I understand the consequences and I learn the lessons ...

No doubt these accounts belong to one person. He wrote the same phrase to his/her accounts.
Here the phrase (I just copied it from his/her account).
'Dear visitors and friends, I gave my sMerit to my alt accounts but I don't think it's a crime. The Red Trusts below are my sMerit harvesting offense. It doesn't mean that I am not be trusted. I never risked any amount of Crypto to anyone.'

Want to learn to improve or not to repeat it a second time.

I doubt it. You likely have many more but just hope that an apology will stop others looking for them. I've requested an admin look into others but lucky for you that probably won't happen.

Sir, a got only a Dozen. Have no time to review my posts before hitting post button.
I am sorry again and I deserve all of this...

Sorry about this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30769477

Sorry for what?

Saying sorry is equivalent to saying I have done something wrong.

So, what's your sorry is all about?

Due to that reason,"bounty hunting to scratch a living" as you say, the essence of this forum is fading due to redundant and unhelpful posts. People are having a hard time to find any useful information for their problem if their question/thread got flooded early, by newbies who basically don't know what they are saying. I'm not saying all of them are, but most of them really don't know. In result, they would browse page by page until they find a decent answer.


Seems someone needs a lot of learning to do. 

It is simple for new member, me either is still new here. Just see what is going on, follow the flow while learn how and why that flow, what is the flow, etc until sufficient understanding. If sufficient then see something possible to change, just change it. If it feels unsuitable, just leave and find others.

Nice find. If you check all the accounts that he left merit from you will see they all have in their aim address a day of the week which seemingly corresponds with the day they make posts on and a number which is usually the amount of posts they make (must be a self-reminder to hit their quota).

Take ramini for example. In his AOL address he has Thursday and his posts on the first page are all on the 15th and 8th on Feb which are both Thursdays and he did 17 posts - two more than his quota but others are on the dot).

Op, you are exactly why the merit system was created and you've kicked yourself in the balls with this thread. Well done.

I've just reread that first post, and my reaction is " Fuck off and give us back our forum".

The comment that most people here are scrounging losers that need to use bounty hunting to scratch a living ( my interpretation of the comments in the post), shows what we have lost by letting this forum slip into the scamming mire.

As my readers know, I don't swear, and my first line shows the strength of my feelings in this matter.

This post received 13 merit:

"The most underrated Altcoin that has the potential to be the next Top Altcoin is:
Oyster Protocol PRL
After the mega bloodbath happened this early days of February, PRL had been almost on the ground again but it is pumping 2 days now behind our back and only few people had noticed that it is indeed an underrated coin that will be soon placed on CMC's first page and would be the next Top Altcoin in the market.
Today is it's the second time of being the top gainer of the day on CMC.

What can you say about this?
What's your underrated coin that has the potential to be the next Top Altcoins? "

That is 16 merit points to this post:
"There are too many set of rules and criteria about what to do first before investing on ICOs and so on and this thread really helped those new comers into this Crypto Market and to educate them to avoid scams and frauds as well.
For me, it's a good guide but it doesn't mean that it got covered almost all the points and guidelines because scammers are too smart today and they even reading this one and they had already collected almost all the guidelines in this forum about how to avoid on being scammed and other related do's and dont's.

For me, the only thing that I'm going to check is the Telegram Channels because active members cannot be purged and Bots are too obvious.
Good ICOs are exchanging ideas and never stop chatting like what we observed from a lot of Telegram Communities today.
I am a member of over 50 Telegram Communities because I am joining almost all Telegram Bounty campaigns as I could so now I know which one are better than the other.
Good ICOs have over 2k members and there are too many active members on it. That's kind of ICO aspect is very hard to fake."

Bastime also merited 4 points to Fria for:
"One of the best Altcoin that you can invest in 2018 is none other PRL Oyster Pearl because it is one of the most rapidly price increase in just 6 weeks since I bought hundreds of thousands of coins from $0.0005 turned into $4. But it's not too late to invest Oyster because the project is highly effective and will probably pump upto $12 next week and will hit the mark of $50 to $100 before the end of 2018. "


These are just facts. You are free to have your own interpretation. I for sure have one.

Thats not true. We have many people here who have high ranked account but are not good English-speakers. Being high ranked has nothing to do with being able to speak fluent English.

Second, dont make such assumptions of high ranked members making new accounts conspiracy theory without proper proof. Provide proof and DefaultTrust would gladly scrub some red paint on them.

Third, merit is given for "quality" content and not copy-pasted content or even good English which has nothing to contribute to the discussion. So what you say in the last few words is simply assumption and not a fact.

However, I will say something in this regard. Higher ranked members have gained experience in the crypto world and know how things work here - thus they make quality posts then newcomers. New members should "learn" from them and not beg for merits. Give it time and new members should be able to rank up. Slow and steady.

Well, I find this 50-50 because I'm not agreeing completely buy I don't have to emphasize the those points but for me which I agree that Higher rank members are english fluent speakers and so even they're making new accounts like newbie they could still earn sMerits because they can compose good comments than natural new comers or members.

OP is right, why am I not a merit source with 1000 sMerits? because I'm one of the 80 Million terrorists, instead they have made me a merit source with only 5 sMerits to make me a clown in their circle.
I was planning to find a runaway girl and have matrimonial intercourse experiences to produce more beggars and potential future posters, now I have no hope to achieve that high salary goal.
Satoshi should've thought about my bills, my kids, my whole family, didn't he know that we were living in a country where families had no jobs and couldn't  earn any money? didn't you know that we were beggars and thieves before coming to this forum?

Why don't you help the world by letting us to earn money here? we would go back to our old jobs if you don't give us merits to rank up ASAP.

You want merits to join bounties?

Come to me in 3 months from now if you have more than 300 posts, less than 250 activity and merits in need of merits to rank up into a senior member.
I will send a PM to theymos and share my idea, since everything is public, I will ask him for at least 200-300 sMerits to rank up a few full members.
