The recent controversy surrounding the Turkish default trust elections has revealed certain realities about the Turkish part of the forum for me beyond a shadow of doubt:
1) There is an extreme dearth of merit sources in the Turkish section. This leads hiqh quality intellectual posters to either altogether abandon the Turkish forums after months and years of being ignored, or engage in various backhanded and unethical deals like collusion, merit trading and multi accounting to create merit (and various other financial) advantages for themselves, which are in inflated surreal demand for the local section...
2) I have been an active and I believe a valuable member of both the international and the local BTT forums for over 2 years, and I can make the following statements for myself;
i) I have never engaged in account trading or building multi / alt accounts for any reason
ii) I have never engaged in merit trading of any kindI would also bet any BTC amount that these 2 statements above are more than what 95% of hero & legendary members can say for themselves for the Turkish section;
that is the irrefutable reality of how the Turkish section has evolved over the years. I believe the long standing Turkish mod EFS would also not hesitate to confirm such a statement.
3) In all of my messages and merit disbursement, I have striven to liberate the Turkish forums from multi account abusers, colluders and backroom dealers for merit or other benefits. Since the recent debates surrounding the Turkish election have demonstrated that meritocracy is a huge issue for the vast majority of members in the Turkish forum,
I believe a new independent merit source, acting in his sound individual judgement, completely uninfluenced by any collusion group, is absolutely necessary.
Therefore I hereby submit my merit source application.
Below you can find some of the remarkably valuable posts from the Turkish forums, that have received 0 or almost 0 merit, and have gone mostly ignored. I also guarantee to continue to merit worthwhile posts from any other part of the forum that use the global BTT forum language English.
