wow...very weird point of view.
personally, I think that passing verification on above-mentioned portals - is a big plus to trust, cause all the team is represented clearly. I don't know why, but I can see that you just split hairs here. Look, the guys do a good job, lets be happy that truthful and useful projects still exist
Ah well, I would rather not counting on ICO "review" portals, as most of them are either paid promote or doesn't really do their research deeply, passing ratings with a somewhat rather weak bases. And I see that I'm not alone on thinking so.

The data for the rating is cross-referenced from different sources. The project Yudi Token, for example, received a 4.7, as it is aggregated on all other sites with an average rate 4.7. When we figured out that it is a scam and team members have fake accounts, we updated the information immediately and placed a note: "Warning. It may be a Scam". Officium project was also marked with a Scam Warning.
Our experts do not make any ratings. It is aggregated using information from all rating sites. The rating may rise or fall and, generally speaking, change during an ICO.

Can you guarantee that same thing won't happen to this project? That it won't, for unforeseen reason, ends up as a bad or even scam project "during an ICO" after more and more evidences are given by cryptocommunity, namely us? A DYOR is always the best way to judge a project, and what I do here is merely giving as many materials for whoever interested on this project. If they are legit, and have nothing to hide, then they surely can easily answer my questions and provide the evidences asked, otherwise they'll stutter. And rest assured, if they turn to be legit, I'm more than happy to stop bombarding questions (and move to pester other project, lol).
If you have a reason for being already so loyal with the project? Finished conducting DYOR perhaps? If so, and you could vouch for them, then kindly give your ID to be hold as collateral and to be hold as responsible if this project gone wrong, and I'll happily apologize for the statement I said on previous post. Otherwise, let this split hair do whatever it want to do.
this forum is open to all criticisms. so don't be surprised with discussions like this between holydarkness and BINcoins.
if the dev team has strong grounds and they are confident with themselves, nothing to worry about. they can always address those questions directed to them. it will also show how robust the platform is. if they can overcome individuals like holydarkness, then i would say, they pretty conquer other major obstacles on their way.
My thoughts exactly. If they are legit and have nothing to hide, or... to borrow your word, robust, then my annoying questions are nothing for them
