Is their anything wrong with wearing signature code and avatar for project that don't have ANN thread here or any form of relation with this forum ?
I was discussing with with a client some times last week regarding how advertising works on this forum, and a question was asked if they could design a signature for their project and I wear it on my profile, still left the question on answered.. just wanted to confirm first if their is anything wrong in doing that.

There's nothing wrong with it, as long as the platform being advertised is allowed here in Bitcointalk, one of the reasons why they don't prefer to be stand-alone is they think they have a great support team and contact features that any issues that the user will encounter will be dealt with accordingly or they have their own forum to post concerns.
But having an announcement is a big factor, it's free advertising and marketing and the administrator of the project will have a grasp on their potential clients based on what they are posting in their announcement thread.

Nothing wrong it's just that people have a hard time vouching for something that doesn't have a forum presence, but that's not technically a rule. If your signature doesn't violate any other Ts and Cs of the forum, maybe you're not doing something wrong and you're overthinking about the matter.

A lot of detailed responses to an issue that does not deserve much thought, I do not know what is happening, but perhaps they are taking the forum too seriously.
It is nice to know BTT rules, but there is nothing strict, and the first replies will be sufficient for you as an answer.

It is allowed in your signature space or at your profile page.
It is only not allowed in your posts.
Oh thanks for clarifying it, I just didnt know it is okay for signature to have referral links. But is there a specific regarding this that it must be related to crypto or even traditional ecommerce business can be allowed as well to be put example Lazada or amazon. It is only not allowed in your posts.
Anyway this is noted.

As what most people here would say, there is nothing wrong as long as it doesn't violate any forum rules, or you are promoting something that is sketchy. It is also advisable to make ANN thread not only for advertisement and marketing purposes, but also to have discussion and to cater questions related to what you are wearing, coz like it or not, people will be curious and would ask about something you wore, and it is also time consuming to answer questions individually through personal messages.
In the past there were people here on this forum wearing signatures voluntarily although it doesn't benefit them beneficially. There are also instances where a member just wanted to spread awareness by using the signature option without getting paid, but almost everyone here would like to participate into something they could get financial benefits.

Yes, you can put anything you want more or less in your signature. BUT, you (and they) may get a lot of backlash. As to what they are hiding, and why they don't want to have a discussion here. And so on.
The best that I can say is that it would look 'off' if it's crypto related. Even if it's just a small announce thread with some info.
Most likely the user wouldn't even get a pm about it to be honest. If multiple users were wearing the advertisement it might open them up to questions, but with 1 user it would probably barely be noticeable.

@OP as long as the project isn't illegal, why not try to bring them to the forum?

There is nothing wrong wearing avatar or signature code assuming it does not break any of the unofficial rule of the forum. This is the beauty of this forum, we are free to do anything as long as it abide by the rules.
I was discussing with with a client some times last week regarding how advertising works on this forum, and a question was asked if they could design a signature for their project and I wear it on my profile, still left the question on answered.. just wanted to confirm first if their is anything wrong in doing that.
Just let them know about the forum's unofficial list of rules in order to avoid future troubles or best know it yourself so that you can explain to them clearly.
Also take note of this reply:
No issue at all as long as the the signature not promoting the project which are against rules of this forum such as Ponzi schemes or something scam.
Unfortunately, this is not correct. If you read the forum's rules (although unofficial ), you are not going to find any rule that prohibits promoting scams! No member has been banned for doing such thing but they most certainly will have their accounts red painted. Take the 1xshit sig campaign as a concrete example.
This is the explanation why scams are not moderated:
19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).
However, posting a link to a malware (on sig. space or anywhere else on the forum) is considered a violation of the rules and will result in getting your account banned.
Scams and frauds are not regulated but if you wanted your service to proliferate, It is advisable that you should take reputable projects to advertise in this forum and avoid those that have the tendency to scam people. Advertisng scams and fraud project will not only hinder your service but also can make your account bombarded with red trust from concern members and DTs

Yes.....you can add anything you want as a signature or an avatar.
But ofcourse, yunno this is a crypto site so if you're actually creating ads for something unrelated to it, then that's simply gonna look wierd.
Secondly, you're not paid for whatsoever you choose to advertise for yourself as that's the only space you've got for ads.....maybe you've known that's already, maybe I have to tell you again.
Whatever you're advertising should also have an introduction/announcement thread which is otherwise called the "ANN THREAD"... anyone would wanna have a little orientation on whatsoever it is before following any link to a site outside BTT.

If the project is genuine you wear the signature on it and I have seen some forum users that do the same for their project or website.
It is only not allowed in your posts.
Yes, you're right and I have seen a lot of casinos using the referral link in their ANN thread and signature code since it's not spam. It is not against the forum rules. There are a lot of misconceptions about the use of referral links on this forum.
Maybe if the links attached to the signature is have something like referrals or click bait it might be not allowed.

it's only wrong not to have ANN here. through ANN it would certainly be better popularized than through signatures in your account. if you are not particularly active, the probability that your signature will have any effect is very small, while in the ANN thread, users would have the chance to get to know the project better.

You are free to wear anything. many compaigns manager are wearing their own specific compaign management signature to attract client. before accepting in paid signature I also created my own signature for own local board signature and was wearing for one month. I hope you find many comments helpful here.

It doesn't matter, it's your signature space, so feel free to use it if you want to use a project signature that you recognize even if there is no relationship in the forum or there is no ANN.If you're the only one using the signature then it won't have a big impact on the project except by opening a signature campaign.
The important thing is to read the forum rules shown by @tbct_mt2
Probably they are not yet ready for big advertisement, I'm currently working with them on discord and telegram as a moderator, so far so could there is no form of scam tagged to them, but I never can tell what's on there mind since am not part of the team but just a hired moderator.
Because the forum is not a moderation scam then it will be your right and also the team, if they are not ready for a big ad then don't ever force it, if you just want to make an ANN it's good because I see several projects also do that but without running a signature campaign. legendary

Can't imagine what's the motive behind this but if you or your team is expecting to get a lot of clicks through the signature space, from one user, I think that will be a total waste of money. Signature campaign marketing work here as a form of building the community, and brand image and it works in long. There are a lot of projects which have run campaigns for a few weeks and they didn't get the expected clicks lol. It doesn't work that way. You need time to let people know the brand and only after that, it will work. If they are expecting to test with one account for few weeks, let me assure you that they will get almost nothing out of it.

The forum in itself does not have any relationship with any signature campaign, neither does the forum run its own signature campaign. It is for business brands that want advertisement, they just simply hire a good campaign manager and run their campaign. If the project you are discussing with only wants you to advertise them, the advertisement would not be effective because only 1 member is wearing their signature.Probably they are not yet ready for big advertisement, I'm currently working with them on discord and telegram as a moderator, so far so could there is no form of scam tagged to them, but I never can tell what's on there mind since am not part of the team but just a hired moderator.
You cannot be so sure of them, since they have no Ann thread, campaign manager or brand representative here, have it in mind that if only you wear the signature on the forum, you represent all of that to them here, and if they turn out to be a scam, all the backlash would be on you and your reputation here will be ruined totally.

No, but why wouldn't they provide an ANN thread here for more information regarding the project? Quote

Your signature space is yours, and you have control over it, which is why most of us use it to promote projects whose services we are confident in.Some projects may put your account at risk, especially if they are scam projects, similar to how 1XBit signature participants' accounts were flagged for promoting a scam project. Make sure you do thorough research on the project, and you'll be fine.

However it is allowed and forum does not moderate scam.Only forum community discourage advertising (in signature) for scam projects. DT members will tag you if you do it and ignore their warnings.

There’s nothing wrong. Actually most of the signature code attached the link of the website outside the forum because the main goal of signature and avatar is to channel the traffic from the forum to the website you are promoting. Forum has less restrictions when it comes to signature space since you can attached referral link on it which you can’t do on your post.
Just make sure that the signature you are promoting doesn’t violate the forum rules and not SCAM to make sure that DT won’t tag you for advertising shady project.
