Wow. Last time I checked, EZ0010 had less than 90 merits, and that was not a long time ago. It looks like he will have the merits of a hero member in a few weeks, but the activity of a newbie.

I believe you need to use that as an ~~excuse~~ reason as to why you should have an honest attitude here even when you are a newbie or a high rank bounty hunter.

I fixed it for you a bit. "Excuse" makes it sound like me made some kind of mistake or that his actions are contrary to expected and normal behavior.

I spent years on this forum and no one ever sent me more BTC than they should have to create a situation like this.

That reminds me how back in the day FortuneJack sent me 0.15 BTC as a signature payment instead of 0.015 BTC. Someone somewhere didn't pay attention to the zeros. Shocked

Once a man, twice a child!

EZ0010 became an instant BTT celebrity over night. It's a hit and not a miss for the user. That positive trust from theymos is a huge one and has already made an indilible mark on his profile. I sincerely hope the user continues to lead it good here. I did follow that thread and also sent him merit. I encourage every poster who stands for morality and truth (and who has merit) to do so too. It's worth encouraging the user.

At one time, I made a comment on another thread that being a veteran member doesn't mean being a trusted member. That user's attitude just proved it. Even as a newbie, he has made himself a trusted member already.

I remember someone also do the same thing to me when I sent my BTC accidentally.
I have big respect for those people they are very kind and honest.

It has some factors when people did not refund mistakenly sent Bitcoin.

They are greedy and don't mind to refund. Such people are aware of where and how they can refund.
Newbies who don't know how to refund for some reasons
- Don't know how to use Block explorers
- Don't know how to check addresses from which those BTC sent to their addresses, etc.
So be very careful with your transactions, check details of your transaction multiple times before you broadcast it. Bitcoin transaction is irreversible so when it was gone, let's assumed you already lost it, forever

So you are saying "if you want to earn 200 merit, don't spam and just behave honestly"?

That's right, don't be a spammer and be honest with yourself, including how you want to unleash all your potential. You may know what I mean because logically spammers are never honest with themselves regardless of the factors behind it. I can tell you that most spammers are scammers ^{[not all]} where they have multiple account farms so post quality is ruled out.

Quote from: hatshepsut93 on December 27, 2021, 02:57:14 PM

It doesn't work like that, no one will have opportunities like that, I spent years on this forum and no one ever sent me more BTC than they should have to create a situation like this. You should be honest because it's the right thing to do, and you shouldn't spam because it's a bad thing to do, and merit is just imaginary Internet points that should be one of the last reasons for doing something.

I know what you mean because you explained it pretty well. But I'm not sure you know what I'm trying to say before.

He doesn't post much ^{[only 3 posts]} but he already has 190+ merit on his profile just because of his honest attitude. You know what I want to say? honest attitude is better than the thousands of spam and junk posts you spread all the time on this forum. Make this a valuable lesson this year on the internet, that honesty is the main capital in any case.

Now a days its almost impossible to find anyone who is willing to return you your lost money whether its lost fiat or crypto. He has got 196 merits for just 3 posts, thanks to his honesty. He is already heading towards senior member rank, just need to post more to get 250 merits for that senior member rank.

Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts in the thread, so let me say something so you don't misunderstand.

I say earnestly that I am not taking advantage of any situation that occurs for my own benefit ^{[merit or otherwise].} This thread is one of my reaction spontaneous to how honesty can have a very positive effect on forum users even when they don't post much. Comparing them to spammers doesn't mean I'm insulting, it's just the reason why I want them to be honest with themselves especially if they want to bring out the best of themselves to post something constructive and useful.

I know that you can follow your own interpretation and use free speech to judge me and what prompted me to create the thread. Please don't be offended because the point of this thread is not comparisons I'm making but honesty will be a good asset in all things including being honest with yourself.

Well, it's understandable why the OP created this topic, isn't it? Taking advantage of the glory of others and belittling others, he, as much as he would not like, does not look like that teacher over disobedient children, whom he always warns and teaches to diligently fulfill all duties.

I seem to agree with you on this, I don't think the OP has made a proper comparison.

I agree more with this one than the comparison you made between honest vs spammer. Having an honest attitude is human nature both online and offline. You may find it difficult to trust people on the internet with money, but that doesn't mean they are untrustworthy or dishonest. _BlackStar, even if you don't like spammers so far, try not to offend because I'm sure one day you'll see some of them will be able to turn their bad habit into something more meaningful.

I applaud that user's honesty even though I don't have details of how it happened. It's rare in this era to see people receive money by mistake and be able to willingly return it back to the owner. I give kudos to the person because it's not an easy thing to do.

I did similar thing in 1994 when I was still a little boy with so much stupid needs for money. I Picked a large envelop filled with cash and letters. The only thing that came to my mind was to find ghe owner and return the money. I used the information from where I picked it to trace the owner and handed it back to him. I didn't get any reward but it has remained my legacy.

For someone who has made only 3 posts since 2020, he could have easily disappeared with the money and never come back here ever again.

I concur. One would expect that the majority of people on the forum would be honest about it, and doing the ethical thing should almost be the given. Hypercommending the case, kind of gives the impression that the opposite would have been expected to be the norm, and although often faceless is shameless, we hopefully wouldn’t expect not giving it back that to be a major pattern (although I wouldn’t like to see where people’s threshold lies before turning).

That's all well and good what you say, but you are comparing apples and pears. As noorman0 says, the problem is that there are a lot of honest people on this forum who don't get $1K by mistake so they can return it.

I gave it merit too (without being a merit source), but this is an exceptional thing.

I'm sorry but shitposters are not going to change their attitude because of this thread.

But if you take the essence of what happened, then I do not see anything supernatural at all. And I am amazed at the reaction of people who shout "cool, you cool dude"
Everything that the person who returned other people's money has done should be the norm of human behavior, and not some act that goes beyond our perception.
Otherwise, we admire what, in our own opinion, we would not have done.

Great to see that even today there are still people who are honest amongst the vast dishonesty, It is golden to see that even though he had experienced loss of his bitcoins before, he did not want another to pass through same hurt as he did. I am glad that he has been encouraged for his good character in the form of merits and trust, i have added a merit. I hope others can emulate this attitude of honesty, because with such, the world will definitely be a better place.

The problem here is the exposure of honesty. There are plenty of honest newbie too and not post often but they don't have that kind of merits. See the guy transaction is with theymos, and he did return the funds or course that's literally amazing. But don't degrade those shit posters aiming for merits, cause you never know they are really Tying hard to gain some. Anyways I relate to that cause I'm once a shit poster.

No one can judge their own posts except other people because of different levels of knowledge. And you shouldn't compare activities and traits. Please explore the reputation board, some good quality posters have been exposed for their dishonesty.

I agree with this statement, but there's honesty that is appreciated and honesty that goes unnoticed (because it's commonplace), and there's little chance of getting a moment to prove his honesty by accident like EZ0010.

I don't know why you are comparing poster spam vs honest attitude because the two are never the same in my opinion.

For example, I am one of the spam posters because so far I have had hundreds of posts deleted by moderators. I'm not being honest with myself where I'm guilty of not wanting to correct my previous post so that someone or some people report the post for deletion. But when I want to fix all that then I have to be honest with myself which I have to bring out the best I have for me to post and share with the community. Of course I know that being honest is the main capital of any business you have, but being honest with yourself about your abilities is much more important in my opinion.

All the conveniences would be the most appropriate gift for anyone honest, so EZ0010 deserved it after he returned $1000 bitcoin to theymos.

You know what? I get your point ...
Honesty is a virtue but what does it has to do with shitty posting on the forum? You would have made this a little more explicit
I saw the autumn of honesty in him and I believe that's how he's even in his closet because I know this for sure "what ever is done underneath (good or bad) must always show up someday.
He deserves more accolades and I was even thinking theymos himself has had him kept secretly in his mind for future appointments, if yes then I support this at all cost.
A newbie that's honest is pretty better than a legendary who would not even delay to abscond with it mostly for being anonymous

He/She has a good heart, even he posted in a single line but it has thousands of meanings.
I really appreciated this user.

I remember a group of (BCBP) or known our place, (Brotherhood of Christian Businessmen and Professionals) used this advocacy.
" BE HONEST…
Even If Others Are Not.
Even If Others Will Not.
Even If Others Cannot."

It's a shame to those people who haven't this attitude, honesty should be the best policy and it should start on ourselves.
