Just curious.
I saw that Neotox received a payment of 0.1 BTC. Is this for managing the signature campaign or taking part in it?
Maybe it's both?
It can't be both, since the payment for the signature campaign is 0.1 BTC. There may have been some part payment as a special case, but then this hasn't been mentioned.
I don't think it matters, nor is it any of your business. It may or may not be a conflict of interest, however the owners obviously know about it before the fact.
Cool. Maybe they decided to pay him a bonus last month, maybe a lot of other things. .1 is not unreasonable to manage a campaign.
Isn't it a conflict of interest to have the campaign manager participating in the campaign?
Why would it be? Many operate campaigns and also participate (stinglewood, Marco etc). There shouldn't be a problem unless he is paying himself after not having made enough posts or dishing out bonuses to himself.
Stingleword doesn't participate any more. He just carries the signature.
Since you are evaluating your own posts and paying yourself, there is a possibility of abuse. That is where I feel there is a conflict of interest.
You're right he doesn't participate
Actually he does.
As I mentioned above if the owners have a problem with this then they could easily put a stop to it. I would doubt that the owners are completely ignoring what is happening with their sig campaign, they are just not involved in the day to day operation of it. I can assure you that if any bonuses were given out that were not authorized then he would quickly be removed from being manager, regardless of if it was to himself or not.
Your arguments are also moot because he could just as easily participated via his alt account, and no it would not be detected because it is very easy to hide the fact that one of your accounts is your alt.
