Thanks for this thread, now I have some points to review back before jump into some ICOs. Do Your Own Research (DYOR) is very important and must be done before dealing with an ICOs. You give me a clear explanation about how to review ICOs. Once again, it's a very helpful thread.
information is very useful, but today the SEC has released education related to ICO to the public, as a repressive action to avoid any scam site that offers investment by ICO.
The SEC created a site explaining the scam criteria for ICO. the site is howeycoin.com, this scam site was created by the SEC to provide education to every society, so they can choose a good ICO and do not have the potential scam.
some of the common signs of ICO scam are.
1. high profit
2. SEC claims complain
3. pump and dump only.
4. endorsement of celebrities

The best way for avoiding ICO scam is not investing in ICO. Even if you check all basic criteria of ICO and its legal, you still have a chance to get scam. So minimum your risk in investing ICO is not investing in ICO time. If you really like this project, follow their telegram/twitter and facebook to get news/information and know when it will be listed. When it be listed on exchanges, its your time to buy more because at the moment in bear market, all new tokens/coins are lower price than ICO price even with bonus. So buy and hold when it listed, is best way.
Your suggestion will be a benefit and safer than directly enter into an ICO earlier by waiting post ICO, actually there is other benefit other than avoiding Scam ICO that is the certainty for entering the project which pass the softcap. But this kind thing should not take generally because if everybody wait the project until enter to exchange, there will be no more successful ICO and lead to no project enter into exchange. So, it is better to still support ICO but the research should be deeper. I hope the ICO is still required to be supported as the starting stage of a project in crypto.
