I saw this note next to the email, was it added recently? It's the first time I've noticed it.

Yes, the case i recently looked at by BitcoinGirl.Club.

I made the post here by mistake when it's supposed to be in the thread it was supposed to be, but it does look relevant here, too.

Majority of illegal goods are the same in most parts of the world and there are publicly available information for what goods are illegal where.
If it's a store the trade is happening off the forum and cannot be moderated here, this AFAIK, only applies to trades happening on the forum.

That's a loophole, but if the trade isn't happening here, it will be difficult to check and verify. Have you encountered such a case and reported to mods without any action taken?

[11] - Option unchecked.

[17] - Who knows if the goods OP's selling are illegal in his jurisdiction and who will put their time watching on every buyer that visits OP's store. (Not that the spectater will have access to that info  )

[19] Well, that's in OP's favor.





Most likely the OP's selling accounts from stolen/bought IDs, Documents from Darknet site but it's not written on any of his product in his store so don't know if we can prove it.

The OP isn't selling the products directly on the forum but linking them to a 3rd-party store.. Maybe a need for new rule.

I am unsure why you quoted that post from 2014, as it was not related to rule 18...

In any case, to answer you... This is the rule... and it's pretty self-explanatory...:


So the possession of multiple is allowed, as you see... There should be no issue with having more than one account. However, those which got in trouble were users which used their alts for shenanigans, such as for cheating signature campaigns; for breaking financial deals; or other similar activities. So if you want to use a secondary account and use it in a legit way, you will not have any problems.

Thank You very much 🙏
I've been roaming around all the while looking for these rules being a Newbie and I'm glad I finally found solace... Good luck to myself on My Journey through in the forum and Grace to rank up and to My fellow Newbies as Well. AMEN

Even that's allowed, and I've even been invited to do so with my Mobile account. It gets shady if you join the same campaign with more than one account, without discussing that with the manager.

@AmaGold70: don't confuse forum rules for community feedback. Not breaking the rules means you won't get banned, but you can still get negative feedback if you're untrustworthy.

People usually get negative trust for abusing multiple accounts, not for just having multiple accounts.
An example is participating in a signature campaign with multiple accounts.

I'm a little bit confused about number eighteen (18) on the forum rules, I have seen some users in the forum get in trouble and some get negative trust for having multiple accounts in the forum, but here it clearly says that it's allowed. I really don't understand it or am I missing out on something? I really need some explanation!

This rowrow user needs to read [Unofficial Guide] Reporting effectively to master how to report bad posts on bitcointalk.

It's better to click Report to moderator on the posts that break forum rules.

This is not how to report to moderators.

Every post has a "reply to moderator" button, click on it under that thread and include these links in the comment for a mod to check and take action.

Fixed, thanks.

Typo:
This should be "child board of Marketplace".

Fair enough.. thanks for the further clarification, even though your clarification does not really seem to contradict what I was saying or what I meant (or what I might have wished that I said but did not), even if I might not have described very thoroughly the ability to make up for past activity periods in which only 1 post (or fewer than 14 posts) was (were) made for various activity periods.

In this same light, for example, if after 26 activity periods (a whole year), a member were to post only 1 time per activity period, then he would have ONLY 26 activity points by the end of the year, and then that member could post 338-ish posts within a day or two (or within that same activity period), and then receive up to 364 (338 additional) activity points by making up for his past periods in which he ONLY had earned 1 activity point for each of the periods.

This is not accurate. It's possible that a user can earn more than 14 activity in a single two week actvity period.

Assume that a user has made one post in activity period 1 and one post in activity period 2. Now the user has 2 posts and 2 activity.
Now, the user can make 40 posts in activity period 3 and earn 40 activity.

You have the concept right but you're overthinking it.

You can earn a total of 14 activity points in 14 days, you don't need to wait for the 14 days to get up to 14 activity, just to go past it (15+)
Same thing, during the next 14 days, you can get up to 28 activity,
After that the next cap is set at 42. You don't have to wait for the 14 days to get 30.

30 activities in 30 days us very doable.

I think that you are mostly correct, but you are saying it in a little bit of a strange way, so let me try to rephrase a bit.

Yes.. ONLY 1 merit is needed in order to go from newbie to Jr member... so let's just stick with the activity versus the number of days registered versus the post count.

The most activity points that a member can earn per activity period is 14, so since it appears that JessieJames13 registered just prior to the expiration of the earlier activity period, he was able to earn 14 activity points for that earlier period by posting at least 14 posts as long as he posted at least one time in the earlier activity period, and even if the 13 other posts were to happen in the next activity period, even though he was not registered on the forum for 14 days.

So, as long as overall JessieJames13 has an average of 1 post per day, he can earn 14 more activity points for each activity period as long as he posts one time during that activity period.

Let's say that JessieJames13 only had 30 posts at the beginning of the next activity period, then he would ONLY have 30 activity points at that point (but that would be enough for him to get promoted to Jr Member), and so any additional post (beyond 30) that JessieJames13 makes up to 14 in total for the next activity period will get him up to 42 activity points for that activity period which would be the max for any member being registered on the forum during 3 activity periods and posting at least one time during each activity period, even if the first activity period was a partial period, he still gets 14 points for that first period as long as he had 14 posts (an average of 1 per day for all periods subsequent to the 1st period, since the 1st period allows more than an average of 1 per day, but a max of 14).

There are members who had lost their rank because they delete posts and lost activity points, and maybe if they had ONLY posted one post within an activity period, and if they were to subsequently end up deleting that one post (or having the post deleted by a mod or a thread owner), they will lose 14 activity points.

Hopefully, I am overviewing all of this correctly and clearly enough regarding the main question which seems to be why JessieJames13 has more activity points than the number of days that he has been registered on the forum, and the question of when will he reach JR member status.. .. which reminds me, if JessieJames13 deletes several of his posts (or several of his posts get deleted by moderators), so that his total post count becomes less than 30, then he will not advance to Jr member rank until he gets his 30 posts.

But I thought an activity counts more than 30 depending on when the account was opened and the number of posts made after account opening because I assumed that for a newbie within 14 days and 14 posts can give a total of 14 activities likewise for 28 days and if the post count passes 30 within 30 days then the activity will be delayed till another 14 days making it a total of 42 activity and that is if you made 42 posts or above and 1 merit to become a jr member then if a user wants to have 1 merit, 30 posts and 30 activity then after making 28 posts with 28 activity, he will need to wait for more 14 days before making more 2 post so as to have 30 post 30 activity and 1 merit to become a jr member right?

He needs 30 activity to go with his 30 posts.
