Maybe I am too paranoid, but it looks to me like alt account farmers noticed that you are giving merit to everyone who participated, therefore so many Newbie accounts did the quiz. Good example of that is ETh_Mouse whose account was created two days ago and he managed to score 21/21 lol. [...]
I don't really wanna derail this thread (and its not a big deal after all since that 1 merit won't help them reaching higher ranks) but I thought that you might wanna look into it.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, my friend! You are right, I also had this feeling but I was not 100% sure. However, seeing that someone else has same thoughts make me trust my guts, to say so. I will pay a lot of attention from now on to those who post here and, in case I see more suspicious stuff (either similar to
this or Newbies simply posting they score link without anything else or those which are at their first post inside the forum and get 21/21 etc.) I will ignore those users.
I will still try to merit those which I believe they completed the quiz as, after all, I hope they learned something. I mean I don't want to get at the opposite extreme because of some Newbies. Let's see how things go from now on.
Btw I did awful on the quiz, only 13/21. Some questions were quite obscure (at least for me) so in many cases it was a guessing game.
Hihi!
@OnToRa420 He is also submitting the 2nd post by copying someone else's post. I don't know what level cheater he is. I am shocked by his actions. [...]
Thank you for analyzing the posts. If you have time, keep doing it and report them here.
It's just one newbie account though as so its not a loss at all for the person behind this farm.
Perhaps we can pursue this and see what we can find more.
I only managed to get 5/21 but there are very interesting information like with Zepher, Kevin(the thread is really worth to read) and Howeycoins
. It makes me know more to better understand things, so thanks for that.
Glad you enjoyed the quiz
This quiz has really help me learn alot about the forum i still have a lot to learn here.
Congrats! I will quote your score below in full image.
Believe me I answered seriously even though the results were not really expected .
What do you mean with "results were not really expected"? What results?
I am also quoting your score in full image below.
Am excited haven done this test, as it affords me as a newbie to get to know few things I had no Idea of concerning bitcoin and the forum. I might have scored poorly 4/21, but the knowledge I have acquired from it is worth it. Thanks @icopress for this.
4/21 is just a start. Perhaps, if you'll repeat the quiz after a few months, you'll have a better score
