From themonkii (Moderator) on DeepOnion forums:
"I WILL be removing threads that speak poorly about Staff, Supporters, or DeepOnion as a whole."
If this isn't a blatant fucking red flag I don't know what exactly can be done to make anyone realize this whole project was a scam. I think a lot of people knew Mod team was working to abuse the distribution, but thought it would be later rather than sooner. Removing my signature now and selling off my stack. Gonna sell my DeepPoints rewards once I get them in a few days, too. Good riddance.
Yeah must be a scam if a mod on a forum deletes insults against his own team...
Dude he even edited posts and removed only the insults and not deleted the threads so that nobody gets restircted in offering his opinion. So what are you talking about?
Also funny that you are willing to take profit of a coin you are convinced of that it is a scam. Nice moral you have there.
Aside from that, it looks like this is exactly the type of participants that the team has always been trying to avoid in the air drop. For two weeks he was given 950 Onions. Then was given the green light to sell and not be dropped from the air drop, and he sells all but 476 Onions. And then, I guess he was expecting to get the same amount as before.
The rules are not the same as before, it is what it is. At least be grateful for the amount you made, even if the party only lasted for two weeks. You made an amazing amount, while so many people couldn't even join in.
That sort of profit wasn't expected to last forever.
On the contrary- I sold my Onion because I expected my earnings to drop significantly, along with a host of other people. It was evident DO was going to dump after this airdrop concluded (which it did). I sold before my bag took a major hit. Yes, I am grateful for the profits I experienced. My goal is to spread the fact that these new distribution rules are set ONLY to line the pockets of the moderators. Do you not find it unsettling they are earning $5,000/week? Do you think that's sustainable? People are throwing money into DO so they can make some peanuts. One day these mods are going to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of DO and the project is going to die. All these new members struggling to put 100 DO together are going to have to start from scratch. It's a shame.
So if you were a mod, you would dump? That seems to be your assumption, because that seems to be the way your mind relates. You expect the price to take a hit, so you help out by dumping. That seems to be the way your mind operates, and you're projecting that into the mods. Which could happen, or not.
But at the same time, the one thing that Crypto Rainbow has been, is obsessive about having quality people. The mods get more Onions than we do, which gives them incentives to work hard, and have this coin succeed. And if Crypto Rainbow was accurate in having quality people who really do care about the coin, then having such a large amount of Onion being held by them could be a good thing for the price of DeepOnion.
If I were a mod, my projection is, why dump something you worked so hard for, rather than make the price grow and grow. This isn't like one of those eXXXX coins that have no innovation other than being a token with an e in front of a popular coin's name. (eBtc, eBtecGold, eDash, eMonero, etc) They actually have a road map with big plans. Why panic dump?
