Sorry for my lack of communication in this thread but it seems that there is an overwhelming consensus in this matter and I've gotten a few good ideas that will have to be implemented in case this campaign comes to flourishion. I'll lock the thread and take the following points with me from this discussion:

-NSFW tag in Signature.
-Landing page for link in Signature where you need to confirm you are entering a NSWF website.
-Research the website carefully before accepting anything to ensure there's nothing illegal going on.

I understand that some people, for religious or other reasons, won't want to take part in the Campaign or perhaps not even display the Signatures and I can respect that. Just as with Gambling there will always be people that could feel that it is wrong but at this forum I think people are more understanding than in other ones.

Anyways, thank you all for your input! As always it is much appreciated and I love hearing different opinions from you guys.

Until next time.

Honestly I found nothing bad here. promoting or working for a company haven't got any differences whether its for a porn site or anything else in my opinion. Just i will suggest you to strictly investigate their website legality and the adult warning declaration on their site.

Worlds most of the tobacco company run their advertisement and promotion with the warning " smoking is injurious to health'. so if they are able to run their business promotions then why wouldn't porn site owner will be able to do that including adult warning.

As long as the signature itself is SFW, and after clicking on it there is a SFW landing page to protect accidental clickers, I don't see the issue. Anyone with exceptionally strong objections due to religion, country of residence, etc, can simply turn off signatures.

I would say that this single precaution would get rid of 90% of any objections over this (if there are any). Maybe arrange with the soliciting site to create a landing page for this purpose.

As I remember I participated in one signature campaign which promoted porn site last year. I do not see anything pad in that in the case if there is no child porn there. I think the campaign is going to be the same popular as others. Good luck!

@Hhampuz, as long as they pay, why not? Porn campaign (paid in BTC) is much better/more beneficial than scam ICOs. I'm so tired of promoting scam without getting paid, in my early forum days.

And as long as it is 18+ straight porn, I'm with you bro! Grin

It is not first and probably not the last time that someone wants to advertise porn site or ICO for porn site here. Few examples:

NSFW https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-5114156  warning adult content +18
NSFW https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-amastar-earn-for-porn-official-thread-private-presale-live-now-5059925 alert adult content +18
NSFW https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annwkc-wankcoin-shop-anonymously-accepted-at-over-100-hd-sites-625934  adult content +18
NSFW https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-adult-live-streaming-1mil-pool-reward-4723436 --> well, this scam bounty thread was edited and everything was removed from topic but as moderator didn't trash topic it is fine to advertise porn site here.

From my point of view, I don't see problem if someone promotes such site as long as it doesn't contain anything illegal. Just put NSFW/+18 or whatever you need to put in signature as a warning and forget about NSFW avatar.

However, the key is you should not use your devices for personal things relate to entertainment, crypto in office, especially in working time.

In addition to the suggestions of many above to make sure the signatures are not explicit, and to consider not linking directly to explicit material, I would suggest doing due diligence on the site itself.

Legal sites for porn were good and I am not against to it but we could not justify the audience here in the forum though majority here were actually to be known adults. So there is no problem with that. However, not all country are open to this for other country has been restricted in viewing it for they are sensitive into the likes of this events. Like other users said that it should be place in a certain section that is being regulated or a warning before words before entering the sextion.

And if ever it would be run here then please open up also for member users for I am willing to join if it is well compensated. Please do made an update in this thread about the offer to you if you will going to run it or not.

As most of you probably know by now, I like to listen to the community before I do anything definitive.

I've been approached about a pornsite who may want me to run a Signature Campaign here at Bitcointalk. Now there's nothing illegal with legit porn sites and as far as I know there's nothing against promoting such sites here either but I'd still like to hear what you guys think about it, would people apply? (With good payrates people don't seem to care what they advertise but still). If anything would come up that they've been doing some shennanigans later on, could I get in trouble for marketig it here? Should I consider it in any way immoral to promote pornographic content here?

Feel free to discuss, I'd prefer it to be on topic and without multiple posts about "Your campaign, your decision" etc. One post is enough and different opinions are always welcome.

Actually nowadays such market seems to be very common in many countries and I don't see anything wrong in doing such campaign. The problem is, not all country support it and having that here in bitcointalk might put us at risk especially if the government impose prevention knowing the fact some of them are against immorality.

I think that before watching porn sites, people should be informed that the porn is addictive and causes erectile dysfunction.
You can watch the video about the effect of porn on men. Subtitles are available in 23 languages:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU

It's not a new thing that he/she should aware people before advertising it. People knows much about the porn and it's side effects.

Just a reminder of explicit/18+ content in the signature or before redirecting it to the original site would be enough.

I do find it somewhat strange that a porn site would want to advertise here. I would not find bitcointalk the most effective venue to advertise on for this kind of business.

I also find it odd, because this forum is not an appropriate platform to advertise such things. However may be they started to accept cryptos as payment, so they want crypto user's attention.

Everyone is different here and everyone has their own point of view and limitations.
I will not promote any porno campaign even if it is paying BTC1 per post due to the religious point of view.

I think it's less offensive than gambling myself. Most people look at porn at some point. They're going to do it whatever. They may as well do it through here rather than anywhere else as long as it's all consenting stuff.

Porn's pretty much universal. Gambling isn't. By advertising it all you're doing is enticing someone to wiggle their willy around for a bit rather than drain junior's college fund and make everyone homeless in search of a win.

I think they're both depressing as fuck in the main but at least porn carries less risk for total ruin.

LOL (real life LOL). You bring up a good point. I think most people gamble at some point... even if its just a card game with friends or Bingo at the church or something. Porn can be addictive but the most ruining its probably going to do is a chair cushion or something.

I dunno, different people have different values... Some people might think one is OK but the other is satan. Not Mormons though, they hate both of those things. And caffeine.

Also, investing (what many people here do) is a lot more like gambling than porn, so the forum draws a lot of people with gambler-type mindsets.

Edit: Now that I think of it, these signature adds can't contain realistic pictures, right? Maybe this is nothing to be afraid of but to embrace.

It would be even more pixelated than Leisure Suit Larry.

Unfortunately, I won't be participating in a porno signature campaign. I just can't bring myself to wear a signature with a picture of some woman with a look of ecstasy on her face and huge hooters. I'm sure most here would feel the same if it had pictures of glistening muscular men.

Feel free to discuss, I'd prefer it to be on topic and without multiple posts about "Your campaign, your decision" etc. One post is enough and different opinions are always welcome.

I have the best example that will make it very easy for you to decide whether to take the campaign or not.
Sunny Leone who has acted in many pornographic films is well respected by many because it was her own decision to act in porn movies.
I respect her too since I believe that there is no work that leads to discrimination. Every job should be respected unless it does not harm anybody in anyway.

So, if the campaign that you are receiving does not harm anybody in anyway then you should probably take it if you are willing to.
There is no harm in accepting a porn campaign.

Should I consider it in any way immoral to promote pornographic content here?

Imho as long as the already discussed parts (NSFW marking near the links, no porn in avatars or signatures..) it should be fine.

If anything would come up that they've been doing some shennanigans later on, could I get in trouble for marketig it here?

Well.. this is the same for all signature campaigns.
A good campaign manager need to do a bit of background check to make sure he doesn't endorse scams. And always be prepared to stop the campaign (and reimburse participants) if anything shady comes to surface.
If you don't do this then you can have troubles indeed. You know as good as me that the ones enrolling for a signature campaign don't do the background checks (some may simply rely on you!) and if anything is bad, they'll blame you.
As I said, this is no different from non-porn campaigns, after all. So no extra worries.

Remove the signatures completely so that you wont be able to receive money from scam ICOs.
Most of the bounties are useless right now because of the current market conditions,so its better to remove these spams.
Yes,spams like your post. Tongue

For op it is nothing wrong on promoting such site until it is legit and there are many signature campaigns were run on bitcointalk based on porn and adult related ICOs.But you think it is not right thing to promote then you can simply avoid those kind of project it depends on your wish since nothing wrong on promoting a legit site here.

Principal Issues Based on the background of the problem above, then I can say it's your right to implement a porn campaign.

How do people view ethics against pornographic campaigns?

For this forum, there are various countries and religions here, such as, Christianity, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Islam, each of them has different opinions and views on pornography, advertising, media, Kapamye porn, this one internet container of course there are pros and cons.
for me this is not a problem, implemented a porn campaign, while it does not deviate from human nature.

The point: to make money, and even then as a picture that is seen is not a crime that is done real / direct. if this is contrary to their respective religions, do not see or participate in pornographic campaigns, and if you feel this is entertainment or life, please participate in the porn campaign.

Likened to like onlein gambling. Many religions forbid gambling, but instead act, so a pornographic campaign depends on the thinking of each person, positive or negative ways of thinking.

I see (@Hhampuz) have done a lot of campaigns to produce BTC for bitcointak members here,
do something that you think is good, useful for everyone.

Think it's pretty clear by now that you've got your confirmation survey: in general, we believe people don't care too much about what they're promoting if the rates are good. When it does come to discerning members, though, you've got some of the most liberal attitudes, and the adult industry isn't going to raise eyebrows.

I'd say that privacy concerns might apply, for those concerned about future shenanigans, as you say, any association with pron, past or present, would jeopardise their other professional relationships. I couldn't participate because of that, for example. This is something you might want to think about. Would future potential clients avoid looking you up if they knew you'd run such a campaign? I would, in addition to "the community" also ask the opinion of existing clientele. Not that it's their business, of course. But it might give you insight.

It is one of good way to spread crypto around and help it invading more into real life.

It would be more better if you add a warning/disclaimer on signature about adult or 18+. So people's will aware before click the link that they are going to visit porno/18+ website  from signature.
Warnings or disclaimers are necessary as we all see on cigarette boxes or violent videos on Youtube, etc. Therefore, it is required for sure.
However, the fact is such warnings/ disclaimers tend to increase the attention of readers, visitors.
One of basic human charateristics is curiosity, and they tend to find out which prohibited/ warned.  Cheesy

Still there is no any rules about signature campaign or bounty campaign. I am not sure if you are going to manage btc campaign. Previously we have seen many porno ICO has been promoted here on this forum. I have not noticed any action against them or they had not tagged by any DT(if they were legit). So I think you can proceed with disclaimer since it a adult site. It would be more better if you add a warning/disclaimer on signature about adult or 18+.

Next week: BTCT is full of scat porn links..
Such campaigns should have rewards in two separating parts:
One part will be paid in BTC, ETH, etc.
The rest part will be paid in token of those porn sites or specific free times to download HD porn videos from those sites for qualifying participants of those campaigns. Those free download times will be allocated after weekly check- and pay-day of those campaigns.
Then, bitcointalkers will have one more thing to entertain, and totally free.

My vote is go for it. You are simply providing a service to find and monitor participants to wear their signature. Some people may be offended or think it's out of place, they can disable signature ads and move on. It's a product/service that is legal and free to people in most parts of the world if I'm not mistaken so it's not really out of place.

As for past examples the best I can think of was this campaign Eroiy.io. It wasn't a site per say, but a coin dedicated to anonymous payments for Porn sites.

If anything would come up that they've been doing some shenanigans later on, could I get in trouble for marketing it here? Should I consider it in any way immoral to promote pornographic content here?

To answer these questions, I can only speak for myself and how I'd deal with it here on the forum. If they start doing Shady shit ( underage or non consensual videos, or theft) I would judge you only by how you handle things after you find out or it's brought to your attention. I have no doubt you would act appropriately in those cases so I don't have any worries there. The immoral question comes down to your own personal values, personally if they're here they have access to the internet and have been shown the way already.

I also can't see the forum having an issue, we've allowed at the very least cam girl promotions to be an ongoing thing. They likely still would be if not for a scammer being outed.

As far as I can remember, there were two Porn-related campaigns that had ran for a few months last year or last 2017.
One was handled by Yahoo (AFAIK).

Based form those, there shouldn't be any issue to the forum, DTs and the signature campaigners as long as the project is legal.
By the way, both were ICO-based startups; that said, the idea of advertising here in bitcointalk made sense.

I have no problem with pornsites and those sites' advertisements in the forum.
I have only several worry about them:
- Pornsites are one of the most dangerous in aspect of potential threats for visitors, virures, malwares, trojans, and other threats to visitors.
So, if you make sure that sites you aggreed to advertise for them are good pornsites, it is totally welcome. By saying 'good', I meant they are safe, without threats.
- And, if sites have options to pay with crypto, it is amazing for porn-lovers. They can easily to pay for their favorite videos with crypto.
It is one of good way to spread crypto around and help it invading more into real life.

Best regards,

With both gambling and porn, there is an argument that both are harmful and unethical in various ways. I don't subscribe to the logic in making these arguments, however I do not find these arguments to be outright frivolous.

In addition to the suggestions of many above to make sure the signatures are not explicit, and to consider not linking directly to explicit material, I would suggest doing due diligence on the site itself. I would want to have confidence the site is not going to be spreading malware when visitors visit the site, nor when visitors try to download content, and does not have an excess amount of advertisements.

I do find it somewhat strange that a porn site would want to advertise here. I would not find bitcointalk the most effective venue to advertise on for this kind of business.

As most of you probably know by now, I like to listen to the community before I do anything definitive.

I've been approached about a pornsite who may want me to run a Signature Campaign here at Bitcointalk. Now there's nothing illegal with legit porn sites and as far as I know there's nothing against promoting such sites here either but I'd still like to hear what you guys think about it, would people apply? (With good payrates people don't seem to care what they advertise but still). If anything would come up that they've been doing some shennanigans later on, could I get in trouble for marketig it here? Should I consider it in any way immoral to promote pornographic content here?

Feel free to discuss, I'd prefer it to be on topic and without multiple posts about "Your campaign, your decision" etc. One post is enough and different opinions are always welcome.


If there is no illegal video on the site, then I don’t see any problems.
I would agree to advertise this.

Better to advertise a porn site than any scam.

would it be wrong to announce a darkweb store that sells drugs and other illegal products in most countries? I mean, would the forum ban such a campaign?

I'd assume yes.

11. No linking to illegal trading sites.
17. Trading of goods that are illegal in the seller's or buyer's country is forbidden. [2]

Will the site accept payments using bitcoins? Is it a livecams site? I believe that if there is no image or content that is illegal, there would be no problem. But I'm curious about your questioning and about the lack of rules, would it be wrong to announce a darkweb store that sells drugs and other illegal products in most countries? I mean, would the forum ban such a campaign? I believe that with the new European rules, the mods will need to establish some rules for the forum.

I think that before watching porn sites, people should be informed that the porn is addictive and causes erectile dysfunction.
You can watch the video about the effect of porn on men. Subtitles are available in 23 languages:

I have no problems with it, but you may want to consider following theymos' rule from Advertise on this forum - Round 272:
Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page.
It's nice to get a NSFW-warning after accidentally clicking a link.

Interesting, do you know if these rules only apply for the auctioned off ads that theymos runs or for all ad campaigns? A landing page that asks if you want to continue to the NSFW site may be necessary otherwise.

I believe they only apply to the forum ads. AFAIK theymos does not have any rules that signature ad campaigns must follow. I think I would go with the landing page to be on the safe side though, as people could accidentally click on it. Many countries also have laws that require sites with 18+ content to request the user's age before letting them in.

 Shocked Am I now going to start seeing a scantily clad woman in a bunch of people's signature space? The WO thread is bad enough with all of the "double bottoms" and "green dildos." Now my partner is really going to wonder what the hell I am doing.  Angry

I don't see any issues, as long as the signature itself remains "classy". You might want to add an 18+ disclaimer in the signature to prevent certain people from complaining.

Yeah the Signature would be something more discrete, and would most likely contain a NSFW and/or 18+ disclaimer just to be on the safe side. Thanks!


I have seen a campaign previously for an adult site afair, but I forget the name.

Just make sure nothing is visible through the avatar & signature...  Cheesy

That's good to know, thank you for linking those rules as well! And for sure, there would be no pornographic content in the Signature, hah.


I would personally not have any problems with that sort of advertising, nor with you running a campaign for a porn site.  You would not lose one iota of respect in my eyes.  I'm indifferent as far as pornography goes--consenting adults are free to do what they wish as long as no one is harmed, and if the porn is legal there shouldn't be any issues.  And if I'm not mistaken, there have been campaigns for sex-related services/sites/etc. on bitcointalk.

You'll most certainly get enough applicants.  There's been a dearth of signature campaigns in the past year, so members are slobbering all over themselves when a new one finally pops up.  There might be some people who won't join due to religious or moral objections, but I'd anticipate as many applications as you'd get with a gambling or ICO project campaign.  Good luck, bro.

Yeah I've also noticed that the drop-off in campaigns has been significant not only with the numerous pages of applications I get whenever I post a new one. Thank you!*


I wouldn’t have a problem with you working for them Hhampuz, I also wouldn’t have a problem wearing their signature myself. As long as it’s normal 18+ porn then whatever, go for it buddy!

Haha, yeah this is a "normal" (normal for me and you may be somethign else for someone else) consenting porn so should not be an issue.


I prefer a porn site to another gambling site.  Count me in.

Indeed, I do find some similarities with the porn and gambling industry but I'm sort of getting tired with the numerous gambling campaigns I already promote, something fresh would be interesting. I'll be in touch Lesbo Wink

Just out of curiosity: does the site accept Bitcoin? If they don't, I don't expect them to earn much from advertising here.

They do accept a few different crypto currencies from what I gathered, will do some more research on that one though.

Porn is a big business just like the gambling or casino industry. There is nothing wrong or immoral about it. The privacy site Verge has a partnership with one of the biggest porn sites for example and you can pay on-site with Verge. I wouldn't mind wearing a signature promoting a porn site as long as it is done with class and is stylish.

I’m currently in one of your campaigns Hhampuz. I’d be absolutely fine with a porn company advertising here as long as the avatar & sig wasn’t graphic then it’s all fair game.

Btw I’d like to join the campaign when it starts. The Bitvest pay rate sucks Cheesy

I also don't see any issue either...

The forum does not stop to promote adult content, the only requirement was the title must have "NSFW" marked and the following rules.

Quote
10. No embedded NSFW images anywhere. NSFW content must be marked accordingly.
31. User avatars must not contain NSFL or NSFW content, infringe on copyright or attempt to impersonate a user.

I have seen a campaign previously for an adult site afair, but I forget the name.

Just make sure nothing is visible through the avatar & signature...  Cheesy
