If you look at people's promotion of the 1Xbit campaign, you will see that they are people with a reputation or any high that is well known in the forum. All the accounts that have been seen promoting the campaign are not active accounts; they only wake up and apply for it, and they were picked and continue to prompt a well-known scam project that's not right. However, if you look at them well, you will see that all those accounts have neither negative nor neutral trust in them.
Have been consequence for user promoting the scam campaign will receive negative trust with their account, actually many board had explained about which one scam gambling side and consequences receiving is the user keep promote the scam campaign. All account had promote the scam campaign such as 1xbit get red tagged account but its not including with that campaign promote only for all campaigns. Likely this scam gambling site still active right now although not promote with bitcointalk forum because I found on social media platform twitter make new tweet every day.

that's right, there are also many signature campaigns running here that become scams in the middle of the campaign, not before the campaign takes place, if a scam project is going to hold a signature campaign then there will definitely be many DT teams who will give warnings and even give red flags to the project. just look at what happened to the gambling signature campaign that ended in a scam, there are definitely red flags all over the account.
Seems exceptional with the campaign running in the middle way get scam and the user can't category as promote the scam campaign since know the campaign have been scam stop promote it and remove all signature code or avatar in their account. Can't predictable with the project will the project ended become scam or not but the OP points about promote campaign have been scam in the first time not running in the middle way.

Yes, wearing a Signature of a scamsite will result in negative DT trust entry for certain members promoting it, rightfully so. Because endorsing such a scamsite can lead to people falling victim to such a scamsite.
It indeed got many accounts neg–tagged, and rightfully so in judgment too. The major culprit, 1xbit, was all over the forum last year. I never knew that bad taste of a campaign would eventually leave this forum one day. It was really annoying. The project opened several campaigns and kept them running. It wasn't just this forum alone it promoted itself. I saw its campaigns on several other fora. For those who joined in that obnoxious campaigns here and got their accounts burnt, I'm cocksure they regret their actions now. My grouse with that site was its nonchalance in resolving those pending issues and accusations against it to clear the dust. For those who promoted it, they never cared what victims felt and that was insensitivity at its height.

Yes thats the case for altcoins youll discover their shady stuff maybe too late already and thats not the fault of participants though. Unless they knew from the start or therrs warning and still they join means that they are promoting the scam campaign with their consent. Having no proof is kinda different story when it comes to scam campaign.

If a project suddenly becomes a scam, there is nothing bounty managers can do. However, the number of scam projects has decreased since the escrow service was introduced. But you can never turn it off and there are very few people who have not been victims of scam schemes in crypto life.
Well probably the topics pertains to known scam project even before the campaign is started. Theres no way youll know its a scam until they do so its not a fault of anyone if in the end the project turns out to be scam. Anyway theres a due diligence for that and we can already perceive if a project looks like a scam when we do research. Just mainly look for red flag and avoid those projects.

It depends on the research carried out, but if there is no research it will end up deceiving many people, then the people who promote it will not be given any sanctions. But before joining a new project, it's a good idea to do detailed research about the project, it will provide extra security so you can avoid fraudulent projects.
Yes before it started the users will see if theres many red flags on the project but if not then they good to go for promotions. Unfortunately some plebs really good at hiding and even looks legit sometime becomes a scam in the end. Ive been into altcoins sig before and I worked for a shame project that didnt even do any airdrops after the campaign and boom they rugged effort wasted.

Accounts that actively wear signature and promote scam sites do not do so out of ignorance, they are well aware of their actions and the consequences but because they choose to go that way because of the money the company may be offering ( scam casinos are known to spend lavishly on their promotion).  A large percentage of 1xbit promoters are accounts with previous red tags, they know their accounts will not be accepted into any credible campaigns.

If you look at people's promotion of the 1Xbit campaign, you will see that they are people with a reputation or any high that is well known in the forum. All the accounts that have been seen promoting the campaign are not active accounts; they only wake up and apply for it, and they were picked and continue to prompt a well-known scam project that's not right. However, if you look at them well, you will see that all those accounts have neither negative nor neutral trust in them, so anyone who sees such an account promoting a specific campaign, not only 1Xbit, will know that they are not promoting a legit platform. The fact that all campaign-restricted accounts that are red-tagged or have any negative fees back should not be allowed to apply their campaign.

Promoting and supporting scam projects in bitcointalk is not encouraged by this forum. Though scams don't moderate on this forum but members can with enough proof. I saw 1xbit runs their campaign for long time and many forum members promotes that by wearing signatures. I don't know how they manage to run the campaign for so long but it is good that now they are gone.

As a member of the forum we should take the responsibility of what we promote.
There is a law against such act in the forum that will make anyone that fall victims to such situations to be tag negative and it will make the account of that person useless in the Bitcointalk.org and there is no way you will give excuse about such cases because people always identify with some signals to know that the campaign you are about to join in the forum is a scam campaign.

I believe you saw what happened to those that promote the 1×bit signature campaign, which if they have the opportunity to advise upcoming newbies in the forum, they will advise them not to advertise scamm signature campaign in the forum.

I don't see any rule about it but if there's something that like that exist maybe someone can point out the source so people could read that and get a knowledge about that. But actually this scam promotion using signature spaces of forum users is high been discourage to do since people will criticize you on why you are promoting a well known scam. 1xbit is famous for that actions and we see a lot of people got red tag just because as said they are supporting those scams and didn't care about the reputation of what they are promoting in the forum.

People should be held accountable on the actions they do but unfortunately there are other greedy people like 1xbit participants just take the consequences and don't care if there's someone get scam for what they do and all they care is to get money. Although there account is useless now but there's a chance they go back especially if 1xbit will comeback and promote their casino by running a signature campaign again.

Your account is your most important asset in the forum world. Because through this forum you can know the news of crypto currency. The most important thing in maintaining your integrity on the forums is to maintain the reputation of your own forum account and keep that account clear of any accusations . So before supporting and promoting any project, make sure to know about the project well . Because promoting banned sites in the forum may damage your account. Because promoting banned sites is a form of fraud.  Grin
So be sure to avoid the banned sites before doing the bounty work so that your account doesn't face any future work problems as a scam. Undecided

Any scam project should not be promoted especially when everyone is aware of their illicit attitude towards their users. Despite all accusations against them they have done very little to gain trust by attending to the scam issues labeled against them.
Avoiding them would be a better approach but it seems not all members have the same view of the issue, and since promoting such projects is against the ethics of the forum majority of the participants will end up getting their accounts tagged.
The ideal thing to do is to solve issues with users before engaging in any form of promotion.
These well-known scam projects are mainly promoted by shitposters who don't care about the reputation of their account. The main focus of members who join such projects is to make money through the hook or crook. Most of the accounts that are used to promote these campaigns are worthless and receive negative tags for various offences. Other accounts that are clean are impatient to wait for better campaigns so they end up joining these scam projects because of money.

Newbies should be aware of these projects and avoid them if they want to enjoy their stay on this forum because a negative trust can destroy an account that took so much hard work to build. One of the ways to avoid joining these scam campaigns is to do research on them in this forum before joining.

This is normal because we have been working on bounty since the beginning and have been exposed to many scam projects here. If a project suddenly becomes a scam, there is nothing bounty managers can do. However, the number of scam projects has decreased since the escrow service was introduced. But you can never turn it off and there are very few people who have not been victims of scam schemes in crypto life.

Promoting any scam project is unequivocally discouraged, particularly when the community is well aware of their illicit practices towards users . Despite facing numerous accusations, these projects often fail to address the concerns raised against them , making it imperative for users to exercise caution . The ethical stance within the forum strongly opposes the promotion of such projects.

You are right when you talk about members being careful to do scrutiny of campaigns before they get involved in them. I think you should know that before any campaign is scheduled to take effect on this platform, whomever the Yu contacted must have done his or her die diligence before accepting to promote them. Doing their due diligence gives members that confidence to apply for such campaign when it happens that such campaign is being promoted by a reputable manager.

In some cases, projects come clean to the platform and even if they have clear intentions of scamming people here they would not be quick to show it but rather they would start as a genuine project till their time to exit approaches as they have planned it which would not be clear to the manager to what they are up to until they have executed their plans.

So therefore blaming members of promoting scams unknown from the beginning is not the right thing because nobody have any idea if the project they are promoting is genuine or scam not until they must have spent a reasonable time which would available the opportunity for members to carry out their investigations on them to ascertain their genuity here.

Thank you; I'm grateful to have come across your post. Your reminder is valuable, not only for newbies but also for those who might overlook this in their pursuit of bounty earnings. Choosing a signature to display is crucial; it's tied to our reputation. Personally, I opt for signatures from reputable bounty managers like Irfan Pak. This decision helps me avoid questionable projects and complements my own research efforts. Your insight prompts us to be discerning, not just about the potential rewards but also about the projects we align ourselves with. It's a thoughtful approach, ensuring that our online presence reflects projects with credibility and aligns with our commitment to quality in the crypto space.

1xbit as an example of a banned site on the forum, promoting the site is the same as supporting the fraud they are committing.
If you're talking about them as banned here technically, they are not. Most people here just don't want them to advertise (running signature campaign) here due to the scamming reasons. And who would like to see a scammed website here knowing they have scammed a lot of people and they still have the audacity to promote their service here.

It's not like you expected them to filter out stolen coins from clean coins. Once a mixer starts censoring transactions, then it ceases being a mixer
They could, but they choose not doing so. They could at least block transactions or don't accept coins from "known" or "labeled" as "hacker address". Or should i say, don't process the mixing of these coins and just report it to authorities. Censoring "any" transactions and censoring "only criminal" transactions are two different things. And i think, mixers should do the similar like this if they want to last longer in this space.

The most important factor in maintaining your continued existence on the forum is to keep your account reputation clean from any accusations. Look at where those who helped advertise 1xbit on the forum, after the 1xbit signature campaign ended, their existence also ended because no other manager was willing to hire them after their account reputation was damaged. 1xbit as an example of a banned site on the forum, promoting the site is the same as supporting the fraud they are committing.
Apart from 1xbit there are also other companies that ended up being scams, initially they looked very legitimate and convincing with all the support from other parties. When you know that the bounty you are advertising is indicated as a scam, leave them immediately.

There are certain path I like taking to avoid all these, like following a reputable bounty manager, you won't have any problem with scam projects, if the project suddenly turn scam it will be announced by the BM and they will quit promoting the project.

Haven't you noticed that scam projects are the one managing their campaigns themselves? For example 1xbit and co, the Bitcointalk account has the same name as their casino project, they can't find a bounty manager to give the job because all Bounty managers will reject the offer since they know it's a scam project.

All you have to do is use your head and think, if a project as nothing to hide it will be easier for them to hire the professional for managing the campaign, follow the best bounty manager on the forum and you have nothing to worry about, because they don't promote scams even if the money the plan to be paid is higher.
