Minerjones is rated the most trusted person on this site with the current DT structure and he allowed TMAN to manipulate an auction he was hosting on TMAN's behalf to actually run up the price on buyers.  Is QS's crime really worse?  TMAN is even a merit source now, so I honestly don't think QS is a less deserving candidate.  I do find it fascinating how some users are crucified and while others are praised based not on their actions, but by those they choose to support regardless of who is in the wrong.

QS is ridiculed and distrusted precisely because of his actions. I don't even know whom he really supports other than himself and his puppets. He is a top-notch propagandist though, I'll give him that.

I didn't say he wasn't crucified for his actions.  I gave an example of how SOME are crucified (for their actions) while others who have done other arguably worse actions are praised and rewarded as a result of who they support.  Thank you for giving me an opportunity to clear that up.  I made the above edit to my original post to make that more clear.

You praise QS not on his actions, but his words...

I don't praise him.  I treat him fairly.  You're blinded by your bias.

If you think, "TMAN is even a merit source now, so I honestly don't think QS is a less deserving candidate" is praise, you aren't aware of how lowly I think of TMAN.

I think TF and Master-P should also apply. We need more scammer sources.
Its too bad I am not accused of scamming anyone.

You acted as escrow for trades involving one of your Alt accounts (Panthers52).  You collected escrow fees while clearly not supplying escrow services.  That is theft by deception and makes you a scammer.

For someone who's a strong critic of the system and member who oversees the affairs of running that system which includes theymos himself (admin), moderators and merit sources. it's quite surprising seeing you applying to work for that system.
There's nothing surprising. Use your head. He needs a stream of merit to get himself and his alts into DT.

For someone who's a strong critic of the system and member who oversees the affairs of running that system which includes theymos himself (admin), moderators and merit sources. it's quite surprising seeing you applying to work for that system. It's just like Hillary applying for an office in the Trump's adminstration. I doubt you'll get what you want anyway goodluck on your application you truly need it (the GoodLuck).

Giving merit services are indeed very risky and you probably already know what the risk is. I really appreciate your desire to help people by giving sMerit but not everyone thinks positively about the services you provide because sometimes many people think that giving sMerit is just to help people who have many accounts in this forum. So we have to be careful about things like that, sometimes our good intentions are only used by cunning people.

To those who are saying I will use my sMerit to my own alts, this is not only libelous but is illogical. I have demonstrated that I can earn merit with my own well thought out and insightful comments in my posts. There is no need for me to give merit to myself nor will I. I would request that anyone who has suggested this to either provide evidence of this implication or retract your statement.

And I would request that you publish a full list of all accounts that you've ever posted with on this forum and keep us updated when you acquire new ones.

You're a known liar, account farmer/trader/puppeteer, and scammer, so you shouldn't be surprised when these things are brought up in the context of asking to be trusted with a function that can be abused. We can keep an eye on you if you're appointed, but on the other hand - why bother scraping the bottom of the barrel when there are non-scammer applications still pending.

Obviously you are still generally dishonest.

Theymos would be turning his back on all his honest members if you were made a source.

Yet you have sold your account actions for satoshis in the past.  ??

For some reason I thought Quickseller was made a merit source back in September when Theymos tapped a bunch of members who hadn't applied.
I thought he was a source too.

While he might know what a good post is, we don't know how many alts he has lined up to promote and to vote into DT. There should be no place among merit sources for known account farmers/traders, particularly ones so shameless like QS. Not up to me either though.
You make good points too Smiley I'm torn between sides, so I'll end with a "good luck theymos".

AFAIR, there shouldn't be any - ve tags for Merit Sources (correct me if I'm wrong).
I don't think this is a requirement.

My goal is to contribute in a way that improves the system.

Though QS has been also a good contributor in the past, despite of the accusations (maybe true Huh) but who am I to judge. (I am a bit uneasy with this but I support his application) But considering the negativities it might have fail you buddy.

If you're lacking with sMerits just like I am right now, you can just use this thread as another way of giving Merits  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/self-moderated-report-unmerited-good-posts-to-merit-source-5093271 LoyceV isn't selfish on his sMerits as long as it is a good one. I've been using that for quite a while now, and will be in this coming days)

I think QS knows what constitutes a good post and he might not use his sMerits for political reasons.  The only concern with him (and all potential merit sources) is trading/selling it.  With his spotty past, which includes account selling in addition to the escrow stuff, I just don't know.  But hey, it's not up to me.  Good luck, QS.

forum selling merit would probably get the desired effect of improving post quality because people would be forced to pay to wear paid signatures and would have skin in the game when posting and would be risking losing what they paid if they post junk

Forum already sells Copper memberships and those are getting banned for plagiarism and other shitpostery no different than other accounts. So no.

Despite that, I have mixed feelings about the merit source application.  I think QS knows what constitutes a good post and he might not use his sMerits for political reasons.  The only concern with him (and all potential merit sources) is trading/selling it.  With his spotty past, which includes account selling in addition to the escrow stuff, I just don't know.  But hey, it's not up to me.  Good luck, QS.
I won’t sell any merit, I don’t need to, if I was going to sell merit I would earn it myself, and have shown the ability to earn a lot of (in top 100), and have not sold any merit. I do believe that the forum selling merit would probably get the desired effect of improving post quality because people would be forced to pay to wear paid signatures and would have skin in the game when posting and would be risking losing what they paid if they post junk, but that is off topic here.

I won’t use merit for political reasons even though other sources have given merit for likely political reasons for posts that are not objectively high quality posts — they are just not as transparent as stingers was, but that is also off topic here.

I do wish for people who put in effort into their time and posts here to be rewarded and those that junk up the forum to not be. You can review my sent merit history (I have sent a lot, more than most people ) to see that I have a history of giving merit to objectivity high quality posts.

As far as this goes:

....obviously QS is still in denial about whether "self-escrowing" is actually a legitimate thing (it's not) or a scam (it is).  Nowhere in the world where honest people dwell does anyone do this, which is why QS did not inform the victims when he was doing it and presumably hasn't done it since.  And it's not true that no one has accused him of scamming.  Lots of people have for the escrow shenanigans.

Despite that, I have mixed feelings about the merit source application.  I think QS knows what constitutes a good post and he might not use his sMerits for political reasons.  The only concern with him (and all potential merit sources) is trading/selling it.  With his spotty past, which includes account selling in addition to the escrow stuff, I just don't know.  But hey, it's not up to me.  Good luck, QS.
