My flags are against the following users:

[Flag] Vispilio for having obtained merits though deception - Vispilio is Latin for NIGHT THIEF [Google Translate]
[Flag] wolwoo for wanting to inflict harm among many active users
[Flag] ekiller for wanting to ...buy BTC with Paypal and became the fraudster
[Flag] El-cezeri - for participating in the merit abuse listed in the Alt accounts and signature abusing on Local forum thread
[Flag] Kalemder - for participating in the merit abuse listed in the Alt accounts and signature abusing on Local forum thread
[Flag] gospodin for distributing the merits gifted by Vispilio in the manor Vispilio has instructed them to do so (gospodin is Russian for Mister [Google Translate])
[Flag] PHI1618 - for likewise distributing the merits obtained by deception to strengthen their circle of merits (PHI1618 is a golden number as well as some other uses for user names etc [Bing]

These threads listed are to be read in conjunction with this thread.

On the 15th of June 2019, Vispilio begged for merits on the grounds that the listed posts were worthy of being merited. As I detail in that thread, immediately prior to that occurring, Vispilio began adding UID's to his DT trust list. (These people appear to be for the most part real and not alts, so there is a collusion going on). Once Vispilio received the 95 merits he has handed the lion's share out to the following users:

El-Cezeri 16 49
gospodin 9 24
Kalemder 11 21
PHI1618 3 20

"The trust lists" thread began on the 23rd of August 2019 and since that time the main players have been adding users into their DT trust list.

Why is this of concern? Apart from the fact that Vispilio obtained merits through deception and not distributing them as he claimed he would, the rhetoric being used in the second thread is concerning in that they are colluding to cause havoc in the BitCoinTalk thread:

Examples include:

Ben de ekledim hocam sizi.
İlk sayfadaki posta ara ara ekleme yapıyorum, nedir yani şurda 3-5 kişiyiz, hemen herkes az çok birbirini tanıyor. Hakkaten bile isteye aldatmaya, zarara sokmaya çalışan pek görmedim aktif kullanıcılar arasında..

I added you, my teacher.
On the first page, I do occasionally add mail, so there are 3-5 people, almost everyone knows each other more or less. Indeed, even willing to deceive, trying to inflict harm among many active users ..
After the Distrust case, I'm writing from my mobile right now ...

Over the week-end my trust list changed to look like this: http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-31_Sat_06.04h/131361.html

trendcoin may have exposed themself as being an extended part of this merit abuse circle as with marlboroza who "just happened to pick that same time to add me to his distrust list" which I'm sure he'd say if asked.

marlboroza is a native of Croatia [Archive] judging by his earliest posts:

This last week Vispilio removes his "trust" in Lauda http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-31_Sat_06.04h/982288.html

the same week s/he is asked repeatedly if s/he is Lauda:

Ben yaptığımın doğru olduğunu savunmuyorum, o zaman acemiydik , işi yeni öğneniyorduk, böyle hatalar yaptık ama karşılığında negatif trustun ağır olduğunu düşünüyorum sadece, herhangi bir bounty konusuna girin, yüzlerce makale plag dan elenir, ama hatta benim yazdığım birsürü makale direkt linkiyle kopyalanıp gönderiliyordu. Bunlara karşı yapılan işlem sadece en fazla bounty den elemek oldu. Bir tanesine negatif trust verildiğini duymadım.
Birine bir sebepten negatif trust veriyorsan benzer hareketi yapan tüm hesaplara aynısı yapmalısın , eğer yapmıyorsan ,bu hareket kişiye özel algılanır. Ki bende öğle algıladım, o dönem bouty kovalayan yüksek rank li türk hesaplarını bir şekilde saf dışı bırakmaya çalışıyorlardı. Bende nasibimi aldım.
theymosun bile distrust listesinde olan lauda eklenebiliyorsa ben fazlası ile eklenebilirim diye düşünüyorum. Birini tek bir olaya göre yargılamazsın, bir bütün olarak değerlendirirsin.
Kaldı ki neg trust alan biri eklnememez diye bir kaide yok, sonuçta bu ekleyenin kişisel görüşü, yine de ekleyene de çıkarana da teşekkür ediyorum, bir alınganlığım yok . Sadece durum tespiti yaptım, baskı sonucu kaldırmışlardır diye sende doğrulamışsın zaten dediğimi.

Esas ben lauda yı dt listene niye eklediğinin cevabını verirsin diye bekledim, ama nedense o konuya hiç girmedim, Lauda senin güvenini kazanacak ne yaptı acaba. 15 haziran dan beri dt listende

I waited for you to answer why you added lauda to your dt list, but somehow I never got into that, I wonder what Lauda did to gain your trust. In your dt list since 15 June
http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-24_sat_08.13h/982288.html

(the 15th of June is when Vispilio starts their merit begging thread)

Vispilio deflects attention away from the accusation of being Lauda by putting myself up as the new target of the groups' distrust.

Vispilio is again asked about being Lauda:

Ekledim bende o garip komplocuyu.

Ama hayret ediyorum. Sathoshi'nin kurduğu forum bu değil. Trust ve merit sistemi tamamen değiştirmiş tüm havayı. Sonuçta ortada sadece komplocu piskopatlar kalacak. Diğer tüm üyeler küsüp sıkılıp gidecek. Çoğu eski üyeyi burda bulamıyor olmanın sebebi de bu hava demek ki.

İlk zamanlar, aleni bir local forum düşmanlığı düşünmek saçma geliyordu. Ancak loyce.club'da bakın, bizim yerel forumda ilk 150 giren herkesi bir şekilde distrust listesine almışlar. Yine inanmak istemeyip, başka üyelere baktım yok. Adamlar resmen isim isim tespit etmişler. Bu duruma gülsem mi ağlasam mı tam karar veremedim.

Yoruma kesinlikle katılıyorum, o kadar saçma bir durum için uğraşıyorlar ki, insanın lanet olsun bu düzene deyip gidesi geliyor. DT seçilmiş olan arkadaşlar şuan ne kadar saçma bir ortamın içinde kaldığımızı biliyorlar, muhtemel potansiyeli olan arkadaşlar da yakında öğrenirler.

Mesela bakalım Kalemder hocayı kimler distrust yapmış.

~Kalemder is Distrusted by:
1. klaaas (Trust: +11 / =0 / -0) (31 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
2. owlcatz (Trust: +38 / =0 / -1) (DT1! (25) 224 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)

Bu arkadaşlar genelde bizden herkesi yapmış, biraz daha yükselince diğerleri de geliyor.

For example, let's see who made Kalemder teacher distrust.

~ Kalemder is Distrusted by:
1. Klaaas (Trust: +11 / = 0 / -0) (31 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
2. owlcatz (Trust: +38 / = 0 / -1) (DT1! (25) 224 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)

These friends usually made everyone of us, a little higher when others come.

So, let's look at the Trust list for: klaaas http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-31_Sat_06.04h/147451.html

it goes over the page. klaaas removed their entire distrust list over this last week-end...

Likewise, owlcatz removed 25 of their distrust this last week-end: http://loyce.club/trust/2019-08-31_Sat_06.04h/313016.html

All the users I'm flagging and others in their discussion groups all removed by Owlcatz in the same week-end that they in turn distrust me.

LaudaM/Lauda is from Croatia:

Hello.
I've volunteered as a moderator for the Croatian subsection. I've been pretty much given a green light and have been advised to ask for approval of the community (seems very reasonable).
I would like to become a forum moderator because, I feel like I could help a bigger group of people that are asking for information in addition to making some modification to the section itself. As a moderator I'll continue being positive and engaging and more active in the community (local board; which I previously have not) and keep the subsection clean by moving and ordering threads. I will always be neutral and I'm going to ensure that members follow forum rules and guidelines.

If you have anything against me being a moderator, please post below (possibly in English so that theymos can read it and decide).

Note: This is not a discussion about the need for a moderator, hence the self-moderated thread (admins can see deleted posts anyways).

Pozdrav. Nisam mislio da napiem sve ponovo na hrvatskom, jer se nadam da svi mogu razumjeti tekst iznad. Ukoliko netko ima pitanje ili mu neto nije jasno slobodno neka pita ili mi se javi putem privatne poruke.
Također ukoliko netko ima neto konkretno protiv mene molio bih da obrazloite svoje razloge, a ne samo da napiete da se ne slaete s ovime. Mislim da će hrvata biti mnogo vie definitivno kada Bitcoin dosegne novu razinu, te da će biti veća potreba za moderatorima.

~Lauda Smiley

marlboroza is from Croatia (see above)

I'm not suggesting there's any connection between LaudaM/Lauda and marlboroza (goodness me no - perish the thought) Roll Eyes

but it's uncanny that the so-called ring master (Vilpilio) is accused of being Lauda then locks that thread three hours later and two other UID's (owlcatz and klaaas) both remove their trust of the merit-go-round abuse network. I can't see any connection between these five users other than the timing of their trust modification this last week.
