I still don't understand why you would want multiple accounts in general
See:
I don't have a problem with alt accounts as long as they're not used for evading bans. If you're hesitant to say something controversial because you don't want it to be associated with your name, please create an alt account and say it.

Thanks Loyce, I didn't remember that there was a topic just for alts, just bookmarked it. And apology to naim027 since apparently alt accounts are allowed and even merit sharing isn't too bad.
I tend to be on the cautious side with this type of stuff and after joining the forum and reading through the various unofficial rules, might have 'remembered' the rules a bit too harshly. It just seemed fraudulent to me since (1) the time was long over (competition started in January) and (2) it was the exact same post 2 times, and the first one got deleted. I still don't understand why you would want multiple accounts in general (except maybe Loyce with his mobile account) and why it was needed to delete and re-post with another account; could have simply left the post with the other account. In the context of the competition, alts would allow for double votes for instance, so I was quick to report here.

In the distance of seconds, someone posted a vote in the community awards, deleted it and posted it again with a different account.
Seems like someone is using a secondary account to have a second signature to earn off of and somehow switched up which account to use.
That wasn't the brightest thing to do, when posting names of many users who use a notification bot Tongue But since it's not plagiarism, it belongs in Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk III (2022 Q1). But the discussion is here now, so I'll respond in this topic.

you violated the merit sharing rule with your alternate account.
I don't think it's a forum rule. Allow me to quote theymos (he was talking to a Merit source here);
If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.
And about the Trust system:
The system is for handling trade risk, not for flagging people for good/bad posts/personalities/ideas.
~
 - Leave negative ratings if you actively think that trading with the person is less safe than with a random person.

It's certainly not done to Merit your own alt, and shows not the best morals, but I also don't think it's worth ruining an account of an otherwise okay user.
All in all it's a tiny amount of Merit anyway:
But, after 5-6 days, somehow I saw a discussion about merit abuse and I realized what I have done. I immediately stopped at the same time. If you check the logs, I have sent the last merit four months ago and all of them were in the same week.
This sounds plausible. You stopped Meriting your alt the moment you realized it's frowned upon. Even though you had more opportunities, you didn't self-Merit again.

Based on this, I don't think this deserves negative feedback. I think neutral would fit better. I'll make a Neutral tag myself.



I'm more surprised by the choice of username: Dic3L0v3r Cheesy



but were afraid to tell the community about it honestly.
That's not surprising: Bitcointalk can be quite harsh, especially for Newbies.

On the subject of “I didn't know anything”
Then I found out, opened a second account, and everything was according to the quote. Only merits should be given to others, as you advised, and not to yourself. Otherwise, this is an additional lie.
I think the topic of “ignorance” is closed.

Well, This quoted post doesn't mean anything. Could you please ask any of my local thread members to confirm what I said actually? And confirmed that I am lied to or not. In that quoted post, I have said -

Quote
Merit works to increase your level. The more merits you have, The bigger you will rank up. Hope you understand.

How to get merit: I learned a little in a few days, let's share what I have learned. Do not work for merit. Try to be cool when you work. Do not ask for merit from someone. Share what you know. Try to help others. Be helpful to others. Whenever someone likes your post, he will send you merit.

Thanks

This was my post. I don't know if that's means I know everything about merit. At the time of writing that post, I have earned less than 5 merits and I am suggesting to others how to earn merit. To be honest, I was trying to be like I know a little bit more than he knows.

I have told the truth already from my end. Still, if you believe I have lied. That's up to you. I cannot manipulate your trust. I have accepted your judgment. I believe what I have done is wrong. You have done the right thing by leaving appropriate feedback. So, no offense. About ignorance, I haven't told anyone that you ignoring me except Little Mouse.  


Still, I apologize for what I have done. I am requesting you to convert the tag from negative to neutral if possible and give me another chance.

Personally, I'm not going to judge you. But it’s better to always ask everything if you are not sure about something or think that you did something wrong. I often ask questions to the administrator if I have doubts that I am doing something wrong here and it always helps. This is a community, not a pack of wolves who want to eat you at every opportunity. And here the community can treat your actions with understanding. There is no point in hiding, it will all work against you.

That's right. But, sometimes mistakes happen and this is human nature. I realized that after 5 or 6 days maybe or it could be a week or so. That's why I didn't ask anyone about it because I realized my mistake.

I would like to note that you posted good posts from the naim027 account. I and other sources of merit have evaluated them repeatedly. I would take that into account.

Thanks for your kind words and evaluated my good posts. I feel sorry for what I have done without knowing the rules while I was a newbie. I hope She will understand my situation. Let's wait for @lovesmayfamilis. I would like to know from her if this can be forgivable.

your second mistake is that you decided to hide it from everyone. You write that you realized that at that time you were not aware of the legitimacy of your actions, but were afraid to tell the community about it honestly.

You are right. I was afraid of getting the negative tag.

For some reason, I’m sure that if you immediately created a topic in Meta and told that you sent merit to yourself by mistake, because you didn’t know the rules, you would receive loyalty from the community and no one would spoil your reputation.

Well, I never had this idea. I was a newbie and you may understand that I was not aware of using all the boards/sub boards. Even I have ranked up quickly with your help, I believe I am still learning from everyone.

And now, after you have been identified, the effect of your excuses will be almost zero, I think so.

Well, Even the effects remain zero. I should tell the truth so that you guys can judge me well.

A newbie does a mistake on his starting. After a week or so he realized he have done something wrong and immediately stopped. He has been identified after four months. He has not repeated the same thing during the time. That means that was a mistake and he wants to get rid of it. Still, if you believe it's cannot be forgiven and he doesn't deserve a 2nd chance. It's up to you mate  Smiley

I would PM lovesmayfamilis and discuss it. If she also thinks it's cannot be forgiven. I will give up.

Yes, you didn't break any rules here. But you violated the merit sharing rule with your alternate account. And this is not the only merit.
Therefore, I think you will not mind getting a negative rating? And let's not cry, because the rules must exist for everyone? Isn't it? I don't know where you can promote your accounts in this way, it's not fair. You are neither better nor worse than everyone, you do not have to be the most cunning.

Well, I don't know what should I say now. Because I know, I did a mistake and I regret that. I don't want to cry but, allow me to explain how I did that.

I opened my account in 2017. But, I was not active in this forum. Somehow, I returned in 2021 and saw a new system which is merit. Never knew what is that. I received my first merit only 4 months ago. After that, I have noticed that I have ranked up to Jr. member and I was surprised. I have created another account at that time. I didn't read the rules at that time and I wasn't aware of what I am doing. But, after 5-6 days, somehow I saw a discussion about merit abuse and I realized what I have done. I immediately stopped at the same time. If you check the logs, I have sent the last merit four months ago and all of them were in the same week.

I did something wrong and it's a part of human error. You can analyze my account and alt to see if I said anything wrong or lied. I apologize and regret what I have done.

That's my alt N0nce.  Grin
Using multiple accounts is allowed.
I am not violating any rules there since the account is not participating in any campaigns or anything else.

First post from the user Alicehodge and immediately started with plagiarism. To be more precise, combination of paraphrasing and text spinning from The Verge article, and all this to promote NFT marketplace development company, as they described themselves.

Archive: https://archive.ph/qBOml

There is nothing like a whirlwind of blockchain news to leave you thinking, about what's going on here. that is the feeling I have experienced while hearing about NFTs and NFT marketplace.
Non-fungible token or NFT means that is unique and can't be replaced with something else. for example, a cryptocurrency is fungible - trade one for another cryptocurrency, you will have exactly the same thing
“Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else. For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the same thing

hello friend I love bitcoin and I want to share the reason why I love bitcoin:

1. I love that Bitcoin is the first use of blockchain technology, which will revolutionize so many systems that are fundamental to how we live. The way that information flows in certain industries is incredibly antiquated, and usually because the companies or entities that industry don't have incentive to involve. However blockchain can bring the change that's needed to allow that industry activity to better serve its customers. Prime examples are:

~ Financial payments
~ Voting
~ Medical record keeping
~ and helping reduce fraud in so many other industries



~original content
My love of bitcoin is twofold.

(1) I love that it's a new asset to invest in. The fact that bitcoin exists not through a company or country, but rather as a "natural resource" of sorts, is amazing. It's a great way to diversify assets and also participate in something that's so much bigger than each of us. The swings are wild but i've never felt uneasy about investing or hodling bitcoin.

It seems that we have, but they are not official yet - it seems that one violation of the rules is no longer enough, something will happen after you report 4-5 posts from the same user.
I know there have been quite a lot of complaints of late from active reporters that users aren't getting banned after being reported for plagiarism, but do you think there is actually a new rule to it? Personally i do not think so, i think if there was, the forum would have been updated on the whole matter. Don't you think it could be that most of the mods who handle ban cases have prolly been busy with real life issues and all, maybe that is why they usually miss the first or second report and then act on it when so much of their attention has been drawn to the issue (mind you, i am just assuming that could be it).

To make matters even more complicated, this member is active only in the Gambling board, and this board is even productive for those who promote their referral links.
Not bad if the new rules state that a user must commit three or more offenses before being banned, it's a welcome change, but we need to know what's going on on the secret board, so a mod should come out and address the public. Like you said, it's not official yet, and I don't believe we have an official one either.

I have reported it too.
Even after being caught, the OP never bothers to edit or provide proper citation; the copied wall of text is still there, and he's so confident he won't be banned. I've seen several cases where the OP tries to do the right thing after being caught, but this one is different

Don't sweat it. The good thing is that you did your part in reporting. Either mods take their time to look through the reports, or they have softened a bit towards banning offenders of plagiarism. The problem is that no one really comes out to clear the air. The complaints regarding unhandled bans are becoming common. I reported some user recently, and it took some number of days before he was banned.

I have reported it too.

As of today, Bitcoin's four-year moving average, which has been steadily climbing since the cryptocurrency's inception, has surpassed the previous 2017 high of $20,000. Historically, the price has never hit its four-year moving average, and then only for a few hours or days. Even during the massive COVID-19 black swan event, Bitcoin's price fell just marginally below its four-year moving average for only four days between March 12 and 16, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase low. Now that the four-year moving average has reached 20,000, we may be (relatively) certain that the 2017 peak is the ultimate bottom!

I hope this will be enough for the mods to finally respond to all reports against this member.

The first line clearly states that the words that come after the : will be a quote.
Then, he should provide a link to the source AND
- use quotation marks
That would be the ideal situation. Unfortunately, not everyone does that, and even dumping a bunch of links under a 10-page post filled with copied text is enough to avoid a plagiarism ban.

he's one of the problematic nonsense troll account
In that case: report his posts for trolling. That's a violation of forum rules too:
3. No trolling.
I've seen people get away with a lot of trolling though. Freedom of expression prevails.
