accusing people on a hunch and without any plausible proof "those PM are what you asked for and prove absolutely nothing" is a public forum is a really bad idea! if you would get accused of something would you not deserve either the proof or some kind of rebuttal??
i find it hard to believe that a person launching his coin using a free and open forum for the launch inviting people to join his project is so obsessed that they are out to get him!
you made the ANN
you made the rules
you made the accusations of everyone cheating
your coin is by far the game changer of everyone's lives, and trying to take people away from where they already are and for a while you were ok with also, is ludicrous. a year from now look back and say well i coulda, shoulda , but didnt
First off, no one accused everyone of cheating. If you would read the ann thread and the comment, I have specifically posted for one case the person who has almost 2 identical names and posts almost directly after. We appreciate what advice you give on how to improve the experience. When you create something of value and you have people try to abuse that for their own good and most of them just go to the exchange and dump it immediately, it can temporarily destroy the value of the coin. We work hard on this project and yes, we offered a free handout because we wanted to do something special for the community. Did we have to? Not at all. Do you think it was good marketing? No, not really. I would have rather put this in bounties for active members and people who actually read the posts and comments and care about the project. We made the decision and we will live with the consequences.
Instead of taking time to just defend your side, I ask you to look at it from another point of view. We have a whole community to look out for. If you saw our all of activity and how most people feel about LOL besides people who complained they didn't get airdrops on BTCTalk, you might see things differently. I have asked you to look from another point of view, as I have done so with your point of view. You have brought up some good points and this is a learning experience. I thank you for sharing.
PS: We are working on many other things actually related to the project. We are not looking to waste MORE time trying to prove if people are who they say they are. There are obvious things from the back-end that are red flags. It's that simple, it is not the devs job to see if everyone checks out. We are not private investigators. We are people who honor our word and are willing to do what we said to follow our guidelines. We give people the chance to follow through and come to Discord and chat with us personally, since we are most active there. If that's too much hassle for FREE coins, then we honor your freedom to refuse. If you would only open your eyes to a bigger picture, you would be able to see where we are coming from. And if you ask me to see from your perspective, I have and I do. Trust me I'm a user on BTCTalk as well. If I found out that I didn't receive airdrops because I had multiple accounts or they were suspicious, I would pm them if I was serious enough and join discord if I really wanted the coins. If I knew I tried to abuse the system and they caught me, I wouldn't keep trying to be honest. But that's not my style anyways. All you see is BitcoinTalk FUD on the last threads and think that speaks for the entire project? No - these are a minor few people who have tried to abuse the system for free LOL. You don't see all the happy people comment on here about receiving their airdrops because they are satisfied. Maybe we should ask them to come here and share their stories, too.
Have a nice day
