YoBit has their own ponzi-like pump & dump programmes.
Do you want to be associated with that?
No. I didn't know anything about. I thought Yobit was some kind of hybrid decentralized exchange of some sort.
Doesn't really matter now does it? Yobit signatures have been banned on the forum for the next 60 days
129 users who were wearing a yobit signature and had at least 1 good report against them in the last 14 days are banned for 14 days. All yobit signatures are wiped. Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.
Some people were talking about neg-trusting spammers for spamming. This is not appropriate; report the posts, and if that doesn't seem to be working well, come to Meta with specific examples and suggestions.
You see that's what I'm afraid of. I read too many complains about the new Yobit signature campaign.
You don't need to think about joining the campaign if you read Theymos' post about it.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50727083I don't know what action will be from Yobit's side. Will they hire a manager from this forum? Let's wait and see...
edit: yahoo was faster than me...
Sorry, I didn't see that.
I don't actually want to join the campaign that people are complaining about.
BitcoinTalk is our home and is our responsibility to take good care of it.
I know sometimes we make some mistakes but that's actually what makes us humans.

Doesn't seem that Yobit is aware of that or they don't care. The
tweet is still up and the
page on the site is still there as well. Some users could still be trying to use the signature and get mightily confused when it gets replaced with the "I'm spamming" text or whatever it's getting replaced with.
Probably unaware! they won't like wasting money on something that was banned.

And if they actually come back 60 days from now, I hope they hire a reputable manger who'll keep the spam to a minimum. Whoever that manager is, he'll have his hands full.
I don't know if they intended to pump the forum with a bunch of spam just to get their name out, and get people talking about them, but think about the way this worked out for them: They had a tone of members spam the forum for a couple of days; the whole forum was in an uproar; 8 threads with Yobit in the subject were started just in the meta board.
It'll be interesting to see if they actually come back 60 days from now. Hell, we'll be talking about them for another week at least. They're getting a shittone of free publicity just from all the chatter. The just scammed us for an advertising pump and dump.
I suggest -
actmyname for the campaign manager, the guy was very sharp on busting spams. He even mistakenly busts me once last year. lol
