Topic: Reapplying as a merit source! (Read 832 times)

You seem to be causing your own issues and drama by attempting to defend your own posting and advertising actions and even the contradictory defensive posts that you make and further, to make matters possibly worse, to offer a service that is truly controversial at best and comes off as scammy even if there were some chance that your intentions were initially good.

I don't want to earn money by removing the tags I have left on people, I want to earn money by representing wrongfully tagged people, I want to earn money by spending my time.

@theymos, DT members are using their power to harass me. please do something, because I don't know anybody else with the power to stop them from doing this.

Ignore this OP, I don't want immunity now, I want justice, they are using their power to damage my reputation freely without anyone stopping them. trust should be to identify scammers, not to use as a tool to harass people.

So to be wrongfully tagged by you, someone needs to pay you 0.01BTC? Otherwise it's a rightful tag.

Why would someone pay that if the user giving the trust is someone who wants to earn money from the trust system and also has negative trust from a DT member?

Who is talking about forum funds? I was trying to earn money for myself by representing wrongfully tagged people.

Look like you got the first case for Red tag removal service. I will like to see that tx id in which you are paid .01 BTC.

PS: When Theymos clearly says that forum is doing fine and he do not need additional funds you are constantly thinking of funds.
      If things go on the ways as you think, then there will be a rate list for each crime instead of punishment.

Consider this a bump. lol.
I would like to be a merit source no matter if I'm tagged red or not. I still do believe in theymos and this forum.

Also you should ignore my last edit of my thread on off topic section.

EDIT: @theymos, every time I try to do something, they would tag me, it's like they think that they own this community.

I often think Quicksy should make a school to teach wannabe's like digaran how to be entertaining while spreading fud (unless Quicksy is only entertaining because of some of the factual whistleblowing he actually does - im not saying all of it is true, there's an odd one now and then that gets proven though).

I have done exactly as you have asked, only I've done so before posting the first time. Not sure what gave you the impression I didn't. You attempted to extort people, because you're (in your own words) a "beggar and a bigot" that'll do anything for a penny or a jump session. There isn't a single person around here that is willing to vouch for you or your behavior. Now you're asking to become a merit source, with your reasoning being "immunity" and without applying in the proper format. You'll notice a trend developing within this thread, maybe these quotes will help:







What more is there to read? Nobody takes you seriously. I'm at a loss, it's clear you have given up even attempting to be humorous or entertaining at this point. Some of us are not keen to your gibberish, so you'll have to dumb it down for us. Are you yanking our chains?

Seems to me like you just didn't want to respond to this :
Since you have no evidence, and are talking out of your ass.

Read previous posts before talking. pay per post campaigner.

I would like to disavow and suggest against allowing digaran to be a merit source. They act a fool, cause drama and add nothing to the community of value. Them being a merit source would only serve as a detriment to the community. Digaran believes that being a merit source is reason to think they are above other users.

Cannot state enough how unfortunate it would be for digaran to be a merit source.

Nope. If ever I will put a red tag to someone I'll only remove it if either the issue is resolve or if I tagged the wrong person, anything other than that I won't consider and also I won't ever give account farmers/sellers or scammers the option to pay me in order to remove the red tag I have given to them.
That is a big accusation to make. Are you willing to involve names of members as well as evidence in the scam accusation board in order to prove what you are saying is true? Because if you know DT members who are enrolling their alt accounts now, you have the power to report them in the scam accusation board and put an end on their abuse of power.

I was wrong, you returned digaran.

If you can be a merit source... Anyone can.

Can you also post evidence you were once a merit source as I don't know if you were or not and am considering it unlikely.

@btcforjoe, to be a merit source you have to be able to analyse others' posts. You don't technically have to post well yourself though it helps if you are a " good" member of the forum.

I don't care much about his ramblings in the forum posts, which of course I can ignore or just scoff at, but this muppet is posting his "jokes" in the trust ratings as well... so I'm not sure his "mental illness" wouldn't affect his abilities as a merit source. Actually I'm quite sure it would, seeing how he perverts the other forum tools (trust, mod reports). He's now claiming he can merit Japanese posts using translation software. What could possibly go wrong with that

Currently Japanese board has no merit source, I'm still not sure if I could effectively distribute merits, but nobody else has offered something better. I think you ignored my last post and my reasons.


Typical reaction. do you see anybody care about my red tags? are people lining up to pay me for red tag removal? did I ask for money for myself?
Typical reaction of account farmer/seller, are you farming accounts and cheating bounties with multiple accounts? because you'd think of me as
Extortionist and would accuse me because you don't want to pay a fine or report thousands of garbage posts. of course I'm racist, lier, extortionist.
Because if I'm to be taken seriously, you all would have to pack and leave, no more cheating for you guys.


What makes the trust system worthless is allowing people to abuse their positions, when they see a long term signature campaign, they would use their influence to apply as many alt accounts as they can. bribing campaign managers with merits and DT2 status. using merits on threads of their own trades with other people. oh this guy just bought a physical Bitcoin from me, let me return the favour by giving him some merits.

Now I know the reason why we got down from 80 to 79 Merit Sources in the forum, if he resigned voluntarily as a merit source I don't think he has the right to be one again. Because he personally knew that he has wrong doings and stepping down is the right solution at that time. And the only reason I see why you want to have your merit source job back is for you to feel good about yourself, you want to see that you still somewhat have an authority in the forum which I personally don't think you need, especially when you resorted to attempted to extort money out of people just to remove your red tag for them. Tagging persons with the option to remove it for money makes the trust system worthless in the forum.

If that's what you think that you are unfit to be a merit source then why did you reapply to be a merit source again? As far as I have read in this thread there are positive and negative comments about you. To be honest you shouldn't resign if you just reapply again, you just made the admins or staffs getting busy. Maybe they're right that you're mentally ill, you just show them an example/sign that you're mentally ill by do these things,
1. Creating threads that you resigned as merit source.
2. Create thread that you want to reapply as merit source.

This is the mentality of people like you, that's why I say I need immunity because you all are too afraid to say anything when somebody in a position of power is doing something wrong. when I was a source, you were insulting theymos by saying that making me a source was a mistake.
I resigned to achieve not one but a few things, first I was offended by having 0 sMerits for days, because I didn't become a source for my own benefit.

Second, I wanted to show you that I'm not in your way, didn't you and LoyceV say that I should be replaced with better candidates? you are saying it now.

Third reason, I thought there are better choices than me. it was a mistake. all of you people are here for your own benefit. you are hypocrites.
I will remove my signature on wednesday whether I'm a source or have no negative trust, I'm going to stay here and help this community to show
Who you really are. @all of you hypocrites.


It matters (to me but to theymos? I think he has his reasons), I did care and I proved it to you by resigning. I do care about your signatureless campaign, I requested to move your thread back in services section. if that is what it takes for you to contribute, I'd say we should let you to get paid per post by Chipmixer, we should let you to help in distributing merits even if people are selling their accounts after getting merits. I'd say we should also ban account sales.


Except he wasn't a DT before crossing path with me. I say that we should also let him stay on DT now that he is helping and we should also hold him accountable for his actions. if theymos is moderating merit sources, if he is reducing or increasing their source merits. he should also care about DT members and their actions. if that DT member is only a DT member because he crossed path with me, he should know that.


You are a hypocrite. do you want to know what is really irresponsibility? when you see me doing something wrong, if you know that I could benefit this community given the chance. you should discuss with me to help me improve myself. you should think about what I'm suggesting. red tagging me just because you can and just because you know nobody would question you is the definition of irresponsibility.

This is classic digaran, from what I've gathered in the past. But he will reference others' posts in new posts that are created in topics that are completely unrelated to the context of where he's posting, so you might want to check his post history to see if he has replied to your post elsewhere on the forums.

And if I'm being completely honest, I am not sure if this post itself is a serious one or a sarcastic one. @digaran often claims that he's joking when saying something, but only after someone calls him out about something that he just said. His negative trust is a result of that practice, except that he crossed paths with a DT member that doesn't take lightly to joking about the things that he has joked about.

Whether @digaran is fit to be a merit source isn't really the question we should be asking, in my opinion. It's whether he's cut out to be a representative of the forums. I think all would be fine and dandy having him as a merit source if he didn't blatantly announce it so often across the forums, especially when he continues to post such controversial, racist and insulting posts in the ways that he does.

He has also stated that he wants to use his merit source status as some sort of "immunity"? That, to me, shows irresponsibility.

I say there are other qualified applicants for the merit source position. It's a "nay" from me (not that it matters).

Something makes me think that Digaran made this thread and just left it to see how much controversy it would cause. I'm not sure why everyone here is commenting so much still since he hasn't yet returned and posted, since making the thread.

Fair point but I'm sure there are other potential sources who could do the job with less drama. Appointing him as a source so that he could "resign" again when he runs out of sMerits seems like a waste.
