Have you ever tried Grammarly? Some of my friends are using grammarly to correct their mistake when typing, it's really great, beside it often suggest the other words with the same meaning but it's more polite than the word you're going to use. I think you should take a look at this tool, you can try to use free edition of this tool to experience to see if it's good or not before going to buy full edition.
That's a great advice and awesome, that grammarly supports android phones. Many thanks.
Edit: But it replaces the default keyboard. Maybe there is something similar as standalone app with interpunction check, grammar check and thesaurus. Something like Duden or Papyrus Autor.
Ok I am up for the challenge. As you mentioned avoid one liner posts, My posts are not one liners and I not shit posting on the spam bumpy topics.
I read the whole thread and then posting my arguments. Since i am RED painted, i will not get any income for doing all the posts also.
So now Please tell me what else i need to do to proof myself ?

Stop posting for the sole purpose of earning an income. That's your problem.
You are a Sr member on this forum. You are complaining you deserve a 2nd chance. My question to you is do you read the forum ever? If you had you would have seen many users complain about their red trust. You would also have read why some accounts were tagged. And guess what, you would have seen some of those users tagged for buying/selling accounts. That was you chance right there. You should have known if ppl find out you were a bought account that you'd be tagged.
Why cry about it? If you were an honest and trustworthy person. you'd have started as a newbie and ranked up your account yourself. Instead you bought an already established identity and became that person. Making you untrustworthy IMO

It was a tough call on this one, because two (and only two) of the posts made by Sudhik were actually pretty decent, and these might have deserved merit. This is why I was so on the fence when the merit system got implemented, about whether people should get tagged for merit trading. There's so much subjectivity involved, and if you look at my own received merits, you'd probably think I'm buying them from TMAN or Foxpup.
My strong opinion, though, is that anyone north of Antarctica who knows about bitcointalk knows how important merit is, and these shitposters know how valuable it is and don't hand it out willy-nilly. And it's a bit hard to believe that users like Sudhik and acha1217 would just exchange it like they did. I'm not saying it would be impossible, just improbable, and that's why I left my feedback.
I'd like to hear honest opinions from DT members here. If they think I've left my feedback in error I'll reconsider it.

theymos makes the point perfectly. We don't want to be dishing out negative trusts right, left and center as this doesn't achieve anything and more often than not results in a false positive. Think of it as a person rather than account, and how you wouldn't be so trigger happy at someone for committing a petty crime.
If it's Blatantly obvious and it's becoming a problem then we can have a look at the situation together over in the reputation section on a case by case basis.

Yeah, maybe not right now but he clearly did in the past https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1013494.0 so, how come it was ok in the past but you get red tagged in the present?
I don't necessarily think it was OK "back then" in 2016 when I started tagging account sellers, but this was kind of a problem that was emerging. It became clear to me at least that people here were starting to deal in accounts, and that led to shitposting account farmers, and that people were buying green-trusted accounts in order to scam or to shitpost with. This crap was not immediately apparent to me when I joined in 2015 as far as I can recall.So I tag account dealers. There's a limit on how many deals I see going on, and how far back I'm going to go. At this point I'm not about to start searching years-old threads to tag account dealers. And I may miss some. That 'inconsistency' may grind on some people, but think about how many crimes occur that don't ever get prosecuted. We all learn to suck it up and move forward.
Anyway, the argument of some posters here, that "account selling was the norm" is weak, as it didn't change today, also forum rules are the same.
It only shows, that not each account seller/buyer seems to be a scammer. So give all the same attention and chances, before tagging down or tag them all, what would be also ok. And as I remember right, spam was also posted in mass at that time, even by DT-members.
Re: Soliciting opinions on how to deal with suspected merit abusers
In my opinion also those should be tagged, who sent merits to their alts (evidence is needed). They take big advantages, because they improve their ranks and/or can participate in one of yahoo's signature campaigns. But if you also tag those, who give merits for "shitposts", then tag them all, also DT-members and friends. I would be glad to see one, who is fighting against ALL merit abusers with one standard.
My definition of merit abusers is selling/buying merits and sending merits to alts.
My definition for proper tagging is using one standard for all members here on forum, independent from their position, rank or relationship.
There may be exceptions that some wanted to try the new system and therefore sent merits to their alts. But also this is in my opinion nonsense, because common sense and conscience would already avoid these reprehensible activities.
If you really want to tag all merit abusers, then there are already many proven cases about them, who are still not tagged.

After reading the first part of your statement, I would say, you earned to be red tagged, only the reasoning was wrong. (If I could, I would ban you from the forum.)"If "I" ever accept or offer escrow services, assume my account is compromised." - TheButterZone

TBZ, the only thing that puts you down is that you don't realized the weight of being a DT member and the feedbacks you gave. The weight between the green, red and neutral feedback.
Learn it. This what brought you of being removed from DT because you can't even distinguish this yourself. You don't even realized the gravity of the stunt your pulling out.
In the end, you mostly intend on using the Trust system to your personal drive without truly serving its purpose.

You hit the point. The weight of DT-trust and using to personal drive. Fortunately TBZ is removed from DT and most (or all now?) DT-members are aware of the task-position of their heavyweight trusts and do great work for the forum with their feedbacks.Learn it.

It is impossible on mathematics. But if a gambling site is not fair, it tends to let win at beginning. I experienced that on many gambling sites. At beginning I won with my strategy and as soon as I wagered higher amounts, I lost. So if he is talking about winnings on short term run, he could be right on certain sites.
Re: Why I think User "alia" is a (potential) scammer? User "aTriz" maybe involved!
Ok, I only read the first page of this so far, but what OP has is a suspicion that alia is scamming because her items keep getting "sold" once she's asked for a picture. aTriz is being linked to this because of this odd 3 year contract for signature advertising. Is that it in a nutshell?
I do find this contract strange, since it wasn't too long ago thar aTriz was looking for very high ranked, trusted members for an exclusive campaign of his--and then he does a deal with this relative unknown. But aTriz has always been honest and very polite and kind in his dealings with me. True, you never know what lies beneath, but I still trust him. I've been in his campaigns before, and he's been entrusted with large amounts of bitcoin--and he always paid on-time and accurately.
Plus I don't see a full scam on alia's part, though her behavior is somewhat suspicious. I'll keep reading this thread, but my positive trust for aTriz will stand.

And there is this one to add more drama:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3032057.msg31202695#msg31202695
....and even not only scamming:
The contract is not void, and there is no chance of it becoming void for a long, long time. It will likely become void if/when I am not Legendary after 3 years, but that remains to be seen. I would advise aTriz not to try and "wriggle out" of the contract, because it puts me in a position where I will be forced to reveal certain things that he has done. If he sticks to the terms of the contract, as stipulated, he is my friend, and he will not be my enemy. Being my enemy is not a very favourable position for anyone to be in.

That is made to prevent from abusing the merit system.
Example: One had two alt accounts A and B, and each of them had 10 initial sMerits. He would send between the two account the 10 Merits. A would recieve 10 Merits and 10 sMerits and could send to account B 20 Merits. Account B would recieve 20 Merits and 20 sMerits and would have 30 Merits and 20 sMerits and so on. So, if it wouldn't decrease, he could send between the accounts infinite Merits.
To let the merits grow, several sources are implemented.
So it is an ingeniously constructed system.

Take a look in the mirror and replace the first word with 'abuser'. I am not even remotely, in any way whatsoever, a racist of any kind. I have, repeadetly, stated that I do not care about other's nationality/race/religion or whatever useless thing they like to to associate themselves with.
Are you sure?
No, that is not the intended spirit of Satoshi, who founded this forum.
He certainly did not intent for 3rd world monkeys to shitpost left and right. They ruined this forum, and are the reason that almost all *Bitcoin experts* have stopped posting here (or are not posting as often as they used to). Are you sure?
Is it still racist if it is likely provably correct?Lauda is rude and abrasive, but racist they are not..
cats don't give a fuck what they piss on, they are just happy they are having a piss
These days given red trusts may be generally accurate, but on my short research I found at least one, who is also flagged as "third world shit poster" without spamming, who accidentally went into crossfire on bitcoin discussion.
False positives will occur in just about any system. As long as their percentage is low enough, it is fine.There must be found a better solution.
This is the best that we can do until theymos wakes up or gives control of the forum to someone else.Are you sure?
