Topic: Be careful and don’t promote a scam campaign - page 3. (Read 847 times)

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.

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.

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

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.

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!).

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.

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. 
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.

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.

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.
