One of the best means of avoiding participation in bounty campaign of a scam project is by following the well known and trusted bounty communities. Following the campaign run by top rank members of the community can also help to avoid such as they know what to look into to know if a project is real or fake.

this days, we have just very few persons who have human sympathy and are not willing to compromise their dignity and self respect for money, asides this, everyone's looking out for their pocket, In as much as the campaign's willing to pay, the too are willing to bag the money without thinking of the effect their review would have on the next person.

You do realize you're talking about yourself here right? You're advertising a well-known scam casino for money, with utter disregard for the fact that you may be encouraging people to get scammed. If you want the world to be a better place you can start by changing yourself and stop promoting a scam. Not that you'll ever read this.
I was also surprised to see someone wearing 1xbit signature posting on this thread, perhaps the person behind the account didn’t realize he was posting from this particular account. I believe Ixbit signature participants are mostly alts and bought/hacked accounts that belong to a large alt farm.

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.
It's common sense that promotion of scam projects is never condone on the forum and any other legit forum, but what are your criteria for knowing that a project is a scam?

The non regulations of project entering the ecosystem gives opportunity to any project to get into the system, yes there are things that expert advice to look out for in spotting scam projects but this days scammers are now getting wise and covering up those leakage holes. It's really hard to spot a scam projects especially when the scammers are investing time and funds into it.

I would advice that we reduce the way we join in or spot any random project that comes into the ecosystem. It may stop you from exploring new possibility but also reduce your risk on getting scammed.

Go after the goal... Go!!! It is worth getting!
That means he don't know what he's talking about since he just ignore all of it and continue to wear the sig of well known scam casino. People like that doesn't really mean the words of advice they say to help people to avoid scam or anything that can avoid other to help those scammers, since the only one they care is to gain from the casino they promote and they just spam to count up and reached their weekly quotas

It is really a shame that Alisha-K did not even realize that this whole thread specifically points to him and others wearing the signature of a well-known scam casino. I suppose he is even supposed to avoid commenting on topics like this or instead talk in his favor and in favor of the signature he puts on, but nothing like that. You are very correct that they only care about the benefits of the payment they receive from the casino they are promoting. Despite the fact that our comments get incentivized, one should not just be concerned about the payment and make some spammy or shitpost.

The Users who have the negative trusts or get the negative trusts by any reason they go to the scam sites campaign. As you mentioned a big scam casino website 1xbit. So this website is totally scam and usres who join this campaign also will get the negative trusts from DT members which we can see under their name or by clicking trust button.

If it has been established that a company or project is a scam with proof and all, then best course of action is not to wear such a signature as doing so would allow the scam to grow further affecting other members of the forum who might not be aware of whats really happening with a  company or project .

But unfortunately seems users don't mind crossing the red tape for a few pieces of silver which might look okay, but this isn't only one user benefiting , it's other users being negatively affected and potential of losing out..So basically the negative effects of supporting a scam site outweighs an individuals benefit which is why these cases are against promoters of a scam site.

Promoting scam company will make you regret some of the punishment you will receive from this forum because is against the rules in the Bitcointalk and it will not help you to enjoy the reward attached to the forum. I know many people promote scam company because of money and regret with the red tags which will make them to lose value in so many areas in the Bitcointalk. I will advise newbies not to be Carry away by money that involve in promoting scam company than to be careful with company  that will damage their account.

This is proof that everyone has their own price. If something cannot be bought with money, then it can be bought with a lot of money. It is precisely because a few accounts have neglected their reputation and this scam company has started paying them that bad reputation accounts find a place in this forum. Everyone has a choice of which way to go, the forum is free, exactly like people are free in their actions. I think a few of the accounts promoting this scam also have alternate accounts, ranting about what's good and what's bad.
There are many people who will scream about morality and morality until the question of price arises before them. In our world, everything is bought and sold, and it is simply useless to expect decency from everyone.

1xbit is a known scam company. Advertising or even applying in their thread will lead you to have a neg trusted account. What about companies that aren't labeled a scam yet? You left this out of your presentation. If a company is found to be a scam, the manager and the participants should cease all advertising for that company. This will save everyone from getting painted red for advertising that company.

That's exactly what I thought when I read the OP. It's a piece of information that's missing from his topic and which is very important.

Take the example of bettercaulraul.it, they acted in a legit and correct way for a while, then disappeared claiming to have been seized. They were scammers and neither the manager nor the participants of the said campaign could have known this, because at the time the campaign was created, the site was operating and offering services in a totally legit way - it was even listed on kycnot.me. In this particular case, I think it's normal that no-one should be tagged.

Apart from that, I agree with OP that members should obviously do their research before promoting a site or service. That's what most of us already do, whether as managers or campaign participants (at least I hope so!).

Bettercaulraul is somehow a surprised scam I also thought before that they are good platform but unfortunately they end up the expectations and show their true colors so this reminds us that even if those platforms provide good service at first we still need to be careful and don't give our full trust because scamming still possible since we don't know if they just showing up so that they could earn trust and more revenue to their upcoming scams.

Wearing a Signature of a scamsite will result in negative trust on our account
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.

Not gonna lie, regarding to self respect is personal matter. I do not want to get into it. But the some annoying things are if you promot scam then you can not join to some signature campaign that restrict its campaigners have negative trust. beside that, your promotion scam will potentially become a loss for everyone else.

Bounty campaigns and Signature campaigns are very famous for Bitcointalk as a part of a vital crypto ecosystem, where many Crypto Services, like Gambling sites or new coins are frequently trying to create awareness on Bitcointalk, where Satoshi was active himself.
When we are participating in such campaigns, it means directly an endorsement of certain campaign and especially for famous accounts, it is also important because of reputation. If a known DT member or Legendary ranked account is adding a certain signature on his account, it gives an impression of trust, visible to every viewer.
Wearing a certain signature means directly an endorsement.
As a result, we should be very careful, which services are setting up a Signature campaign here on Bitcointalk and members joining such a campaign need to do a detailed research about it.
We should always check out if it’s a legit service or not and if it’s not legit, we should avoid it.



Wearing a Signature of a scamsite will result in negative trust on our account
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.

Only proven scams will lead to negative DT trust entry on accounts wearing certain signatures
Don’t worry, it’s easy to avoid getting a negative DT trust entry from promoting scamsites. To be considered as a scamsite, DT needs to deliever a proof if a site is a scamsite. Accusations are not enough, it really needs to be a proven scam, for example, when a community member has been scammed.
So, you are safe, just stay away from any scamsite and don’t endorse it by wearing a signature. 



Example: 1xbit is a big scamsite

A perfect example of a big scamsite offering a signature campaign here in Bitcointalk is 1xbit, which is a proven scamsite.  Undecided
As a scam sportsbook, 1xbit has scammed many community members and 1xbit has all its accounts on Bitcointalk painted in negative trust from various DT members.
You can check out 1xbit’s scamming here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1xbit-stole-my-winnings-almost-1-year-ago-5267919
We have more legitimate sportsbooks here on Bitcointalk, like Sportsbet.io, Betnomi or Stake.com.
Stay away from 1xbit, don’t bet on 1xbit and don’t add 1xbet’s signature.
Because recently, 1xbit has launched a new signature campaign.
Everyone who joins, will get a negative DT trust entry for promoting scamsites.

JollyGood has made a very honorable effort to expose accounts participating in 1xbit’s campaigns.
I can encourage to tag 1xbit account when you’ll notice one. Give it a negative trust.


Improving Bitcointalk: call out scamsites and supporters of scamsites
Scams are not moderated on Bitcointalk.
It is our job to research, present proof and call out scam sites. When someone wears a signature on his account, it means directly endorsing by promoting such a site.
Especially if a known DT member or Legendary ranked account is adding a certain signature on his account, it gives an impression of trust, visible to every viewer.
We need to make sure, it’s really a legitimate site to avoid endorsing a scam. We need to call out scammers, scamsites and people endorsing scamsites.
When everyone does so, Bitcointalk will be a safer place from scamsites.

this days, we have just very few persons who have human sympathy and are not willing to compromise their dignity and self respect for money, asides this, everyone's looking out for their pocket, In as much as the campaign's willing to pay, the too are willing to bag the money without thinking of the effect their review would have on the next person.

This is one good thing about the forum, every accusation must be backed with evidence and proven to be true. This is because some reputable casinos have been falsely accused by some people and these claims were not proven to be true. Competitors might also want to tarnish the image of some service providers by coming up with false accusations. The community will always give each party the privilege to present their cases and a verdict will be given based on the facts presented.

Legitimate businesses work hard to build trust and deliver value to their customers.  Promoting scams not only harms individuals but also can cause financial loss to others, so think about it if you're one of them promoting scam casinos.
Many people don't care about their reputation or even the consequences of their actions. Their only focus is just to get the money and nothing else. Sometimes I see some high-ranking and clean accounts applying for this scam campaign and I think this is a result of impatience. Maybe because they were not accepted in a reputable campaign, they feel that it will be easier to start earning from these irresponsible promotions. For me, there is no moral justification to prone a casino or service that will lead to the loss of funds unsuspected clients, and damage the reputation of a.mwmbwr after all the hard work building an account.

This advice is very useful for newbies to avoid scam sites when they want to promote Bounty Campaigns and Signature Campaigns in forums. The obsession with being part of the Bitcoin paid signature campaign has made some users heed all the prohibitions written on the forum, they are willing to have their accounts stabbed in red ink in order to collect Bitcoin fractions that were forcibly taken from site users.
1xbit is one of the most combated sites on the forum, several users involved in it have been punished for heeding the restrictions on the forum. Need to be aware of raising money on forums, maintaining account reputation is better than collecting a few dollars of stolen money that site owners do.

Checking it or not, you can not sure that it is not a scam project. It is not a matter if you wear a signature of a scam project when you are not known about it. Problem occurs if the community warn that it is a scam project with proofs for their conclusion. If you continue to wear signature of that scam project after community warning, you will have problem with DT members and forum community.

As a legend member or a DT member, I see no reason they should market for scam websites, I know a signature might be launched here which everyone will join and things might be going well, any rank can join even the legendary members, but immediately maybe the site have been tagged as scam, am sure everyone should remove the signature and avatar immediately, if we keep on advertising scam websites, then you are putting forum members at risk of being scam, because if they see the signature on your profile, they might end up following the link on your profile to the site which they will be scammed.

If a campaign is tag as a scam campaign, then the manager is should pause the campaign immediately and the participants should change their signature immediately, if a campaign is tag as scam and the manager keeps on running the campaign, then the manager should be tag also and any member that keeps on advertising for them should be tagged also.

Example: 1xbit is a big scamsite
I find it painful whenever I see people participating in 1xbit campaign, people participating in 1xbit are just selfish people that only care about the little amount of money that will be paid to them, and they don’t care if anyone is being scammed at the end or not, I believe those people those not mean well for the forum and forum members so they deserve to be tagged.

Unfortunately, I also observed that majority of the participants in the 1xbit campaign comment on threads that are very irrelevant- which has nothing to do with the thread posted by the OP. It is like, they are just posting for the sake of attempting to acquire traction. But they fail miserably since these participants also are either not paid or being trolled by 1xbit in the process.

At the end of the day, everything boils down to your decision on whether you want to promote a scam campaign or not. Sure, they may offer rates that are higher compared to other campaigns but be ready for the consequence when you commit to such decision.
We can report them until they didn't get paid for what they've promoted because all their posts have been deleted.
It's all about money why are they still promoting scam casinos even though they know it's a scam and as we can see, all those accounts have ruined their reputation already.

Think about it, by promoting scams, you undermine legitimate businesses that provide good and honest services.
Legitimate businesses work hard to build trust and deliver value to their customers.  Promoting scams not only harms individuals but also can cause financial loss to others, so think about it if you're one of them promoting scam casinos.
