Well, at least he bothers to come out to explain his side of the story, As everyone is entitled to their opinions. so I guess its about whether you trust and experienced the project to determine if its legit. Personally I have been using HunnyPlay.com for the last few months and have been satisfied with the experience thus far. Again this is my personal experience/ opinion. Best is to give it a try to for yourself.
The newbie account, which registered at 05:02:33 AM and after 6 minutes immediately found the right topic and, by an INCREDIBLE coincidence, turned out to be a happy client of the HunnyPlay.com service. OMG, it's such a cheap shilling, why even do that? Obviously this is a "paid" comment in support of HunnyFinance, and I would not be surprised that he (HunnyFinance) wrote it himself, creating an alt account to create fake support.
Surely this is much more than coincidence right?
I just made my findings and came up with the conclusion that, for the fact that "Hunnyfinance" was inactive for 11 months, Just woke up, dropped his/her first post not up to 150 words, and got 34 merits in less than a minute, while the sender going dormant 3 minutes after till this very moment, is enough reason for suspicion and a clear indication that both accounts belong to one individual.
I see no reason why such a post should be given 34 merits, if not alt nor traded because it's not worth
Well there is a visual staring right at the screen showing possibilities of an alt-account but it is not conclusive but yes you are right about the merits and we have read what HunnyFinance has had to say about it too.
I have explained my side of the story here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61344886I do understand this merit system is looked upon seriously in bitcointalk forum, and followed strictly by everyone, as I do now. Because of these merits, I have already been heavily reprimanded. These incidents are cast in stone and @HunnyFinance gotten lots of penalty for this.
That doesn't meant I am a scammer or I am running a shady project.
To me its about constant learning and progression. Having to face so much adversity on this issue in this thread again yet again, I am slowly learning the ropes of doing things right. Whatever has been done can't be changed, but I am doing what I can trying to fit in. Many have given advice and I am very grateful for it. Here's what we heeded and done from some advices given by the community:
1) We got a copper ranking nevertheless.
2) We are paying above market rate for signature campaigns, which I believe not only benefit my business, but also boost the economy of the community in bitcointalk. More will come.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/temp-end-hunnyplay-signature-campaign-up-to-240-per-post-54242883) Through my hunnyplay thread, I seeked advice on how to run a casino properly in bitcointalk.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hunnyplayio-best-crypto-casino-1000-fs-13500-330-welcome-bonus-54229504) I have also started a thread to try find people in the community to be ambassadors and affiliate in their countries.
If possible, instead of having to drill down on this issue again and again with the same pointers, let me know what other constructive advise can be done to explain myself better, to improve my account, to improve our casino business, or even benefit the community of bitcointalk.
Right now the only thing I can conclude is that you genuinely probably did not understand how the merit system worked in that you wanted merits to rank up and to provide a sense security for those associating your account with the website business you operate but you probably were unaware of this being looked upon in a negative way within the forum.
You gave your side of the story, whether it is 100% factual or not I see no reason why it should be held against you by members as long as they see nothing to be alarmed at (even if it is highly suspicious that coldice is an alt-account) as long as there is no more merit being given between the two accounts.
Having said that, I hope over time you manage to move away from the alt-account and merit issue and have your own stand alone position within the community. I wish you success in your business and hope you contribute to the forum with constructive posts as and when you are able to.
