Topic: Top helpers of this forum (Read 876 times)

But of course, it's a regrettable slip.

BTW, OP should include CryptopreneurBrainboss in his list of helpful users. That dude is everywhere on this forum providing tips and suggestions on issues raised here.

Indeed, selecting top helpers maybe is not an easy task for mods/staff here, unless there is a system that can help them to filter many things from members like quality posts, helping to answer questions, comments without hate, respecting members, providing solutions or alternatives, positive thinking, etc, there are so many parameters to be considered if choosing top helpers were a goal.

+2 MinerJones and Krogothmanhattan

They both should be added. They do a tremendous amount of work helping others in collectibles and with escrow services. Minerjones gets almost every single noob collector off their feet and running in a difficult to learn hobby and sometimes difficult crowd. The same goes for Krogo. He also goes well out of his way to help noobs, and does a ton in terms of scam busting / warning posts. Both have pinned threads in collectibles and krogo started both the scam coin maker list and Casascius Fakes list (featured on the Casascius uber bills website and even seen it posted in various news articles).

We should vote for theymos so he becomes a mod at least. Lets do it everyone, he deserves it. 

Not sure I would be a good mod. Although I am here on a daily basis, (almost) it is only for an hour or two. But thanks for mentioning my name.

Sorry if I understood it wrong but the way you wrote it sounded like you never got paid what you were promised for bust scammers and you gave up on doing it because of that.
Now it's much more clear.
Anyway, you have my respect.

Never said that.
I was doing the same thing as usual reporting abusers on the thread and a manager told me "great help me on find the abusers and I will pay at the end the bounty".
I've continued to report abusers even after this never kept promised and I've never did for money lol.

Sorry to say, but if you are doing it for money, then you are doing it wrong.
I dedicated every day many hours in chasing spammers, reporting, but I do not expect anything for my time spent here (not exactly true, I actually feel good while doing it). Well, I joined signature campaign but this does not reflect the time I use to report, connect accounts, browse spreadsheets,compare posts etc. so I don't take it as a payment for what i report. It's just a side earnings from my activity in here. Before I joined the campaign I did the same.
Putting a nail in the coffin of the old baking system and moving to a mass adoption should be enough reward

Eh being a Staff Member and being a helpful member are different things. They are not exclusive.

A staff has to go through threads reading all the cesspool of posts and then evaluate if they are spam or not if reported. They are always at high risk of getting malware from links posted here. Fortunately the members here dont see those because they are removed quickly, again because of the efforts of the staff.

Dont mean to be rude to the OP, but every member of this forum is a potentially a person who can help you with something. Making a list of people whom one sees as helpful is a subjective approach to something that is not humanely possible to do and thus a failure.

You have no reason to feel bad, this is not about any official list that should mean anything. If you did something good for the forum, you also did something good for yourself, and the reward is that you probably saved many inexperienced forum members from being scammed. Sometimes it's not all about the money, merits, status, rank...

I've found almost 2k scammers last year fell bad not to be on the list, I've stopped cause I was promised with a very small payment in the past (around 200$ for a lot of hours of effort) and got scammed in the end.

 

Maybe one day I will come back and find abusers I have a good strategy to find juicy accounts

It is possible that the OP has good intentions, but it is also possible that it is only trying to catch some merits, but we can not be entirely sure what this is really about. In any case I think such topic is not suitable for Meta, it may eventually be moved in Reputation or Off-topic.

Those who help the forum in any way don't ask for rewards for it, although most have the privilege of participating in top signature campaigns, to be mods/staff, or to be selected in DT.

While we're on it, I would appreciate it if theymos could do us all a favor and spend some time to post an updated list of the top reporters in this forum. I know I had been part of such posts long ago having a large number of reports but these stats are available only to theymos and hence hard to compare. The fact that there was an endless stream of report-worthy content here actually used to drive me crazy but thankfully as of lately the spambots have somehow been curbed. Reports are now not any more lost in an endless sea of spam.

A list for the most 'helpful' people of the forum could be compiled on several criteria. I think reports is a useful one but due to it being private it's impossible to track any progress.

I think in this forum their have own contribution base on his way and skills. You can't determine who is the best or who is more better... If you ask me for the top helpers for this forum, I will say all of members who didn't break the rules in this forum and have high quality post .


As you said, you only active in B&H section... If you active in Development and Techinal sections, maybe you will say @nc50lc is the top helpers in this forum.

I agree @DdmrDdmr is the top helpers in B&H section, he also quick and very well post. I'm not suprised if @DdmrDdmr can be moderator in B&H section, since @MiningBuddy is not active for past 2 years.

Someone read 1984

For me it may not be an issue.
But I can bet that many others would agree with your statement (either now, either if you ever become staff member). 

Trust me - You don't want me on the staff here - I'm far to opinionated and autocratic.

People who handle complains, reports and do other things to help the forum be "a better world" (as possible) won't have so much time to post / help others. So it would be a waste.
Also I am not aware if more staff is needed, it's not up to us to decide / vote.
And if there are open spots, you should ask them if they want to go that path.

So, l as you can see, it doesn't matter what "I think" on this matter  

@Vod - to repeat the old joke. Love is a fellow feeling, and jealousy is another fellow feeling. There seems to be a certain amount of jealousy in this forum.

To return to the OP - Bitcoin Talk is an interesting site. Superficially it is a crypto forum, but it has developed into a broad community with a variety of special interest groups. There is considerable help within these groups ( as well as the forum in general), and much of this remains unnoticed. I did start a number of associated sites to help new members, and I have rather neglected them due to RL demands. I have a number of elderly friends, and I am massively distressed by the way they are being destroyed by Big Pharma, The Bankers, The vaxxers, and the misguided green activists amongst others. This has taken me away from some of my internet activities.

I would like to thank JackG for continuing to give me advice and discussions in the Crypto Coin Tree chat room. I stated this foe legendaries and merit sources, but it seems to have become a private discussion room for Jack and myself. No members have been deleted, so anyone who has registered is welcome to return. I have had some requests to revive the Fit to Talk English site, and I would like to do that. Please give me a week or so to sort out some minor problems, and to revive the registration process there.

I'm more interested in learning, information dissemination, and experimentation, and I welcome any suggestions about ways I can help with this in the forum. I'm fairly minor in the anti-spam world, as I just put people on ignore, but sometimes my index pages show that half the threads are to be ignored. Maybe I should be more active, as I think I am missing out by ignoring so much.

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Love is...

for people who don't have thick skins.

How could I be angry at a response to a joke of which I have no deep commitment? To act in such a way would be an act of severe insecurity and as you know, no user of Bitcoin has ever retaliated in an insecure fashion. To fathom such a premise would be an impossibility.

Fuck you and your cloth addiction.  I identify as a boob licker - don't try to change me man!!
