I don't really like the new way of accepting users through PM invitation. What of about the users that applied for the signature campaign? They will be ignored, that means, is there any need to create a campaign thread again? Since that is the best way, they can just invite by pm any user that is good in the forum to wear signature, avatar and personal text. This new development that is coming up in the forum is wrong. Let everybody go to the campaign thread and apply if they are qualify and interested to participate in the the campaign.

For the past few weeks back I have received various offers through personal messages on this forum, asking me to rent out my signature, avatar, and personal text space to promote their brand on this forum
You are a lucky man and you may need to realize that you are the criteria they may be looking for here. I've never received the offer directly from a business owner, but a campaign manager once offered me a spot.

When it comes to business, you need to research before accepting a particular job [newbies may not be familiar]. Sometimes it's hard to spot any form of fraud in the first place if the owner has prepared it as best he can to hide it from you or the community, but it can always end badly when the business doesn't do well or it may lose due to lack of interest. Need some experience with this, so the beginners section doesn't seem like a great place for this thread either, IMO.

Before, I received some offers but mostly are in gambling. And since it needs a capital, so I end up hesitating and join signature campaign instead for sure profits. However, my advice for that is always DYOR before you take some actions. Not all offers could make you go wrong, as some are legit and reliable projects but you just have to trust them so you can also be rewarded. But to make it sure, once money is involved, always think a lot of time and do deep researching.
I think you joined signature campaigns which I think because of you founding out that you can earn crypto by joining signature campaign such as this one I joined and also its different from gambling which you don't need to have capital before you can earn crypto. I would also advise newbies that doing your own research could help to answer some of your own question in mind about something such as signature campaigns.

I am just so who you are really referring to because you can't tell us that newbies really need all these advise you are trying to tell us who looks like you don't really know much a out this great forum before you will come up with advise which is just very funny to me. Maybe you are trying to advise those you know more than what you think you know.
Okay you write somethings about signature and accepting offers from dm and how it can be paying more than the normal signature we ha e here. That is unnecessary and I don't think anyone needs all these to stay alive. Just stick to your signature that is paying you are stop advising newbies when you are also one.

This is an experience I got in the forum but I didn't know how it works and I did not also bother to ask or raise a topic because the conversation was rightly dealt with.
I received a private message from someone I think it was a full member rank user, asking if I could rent out my signature space to promote their project here in bitcoin talk and reddit.

I can't actually remember how much they offered to pay me but then I was already wearing a signature.I  simply responded that I am already promoting another company, that maybe when I don't have a company to promote I will consider their request. They tried pushing the conversation further that I am a quality poster that I deserve more but I wasn't actually interested, so I found my way around to end the conversation thinking it was some kind of generic scam attempts in the forum.
It is now I am realising that that kind of offer could also be here. I'll have to search my pm for that conversation.

I wouldn't say that this is suitable for newbies. Newbies can't use signature space so what you advise won't really work for newbies. This time my signature space is not available for other campaigns since it is used for rollbit as everyone can see but during my time when I didn't join any for quite some time, I never received PMs like that but rather received PMs from the same forum user about casinos asking if I am interested in turnkey online casino development services which I ignore since the sender is newbie.

Offers sent via private messages are usually not serious enough, especially since the accounts that send these offers are new accounts.

There are new members of project owners who may be honest and do not know that by this behavior they raise suspicions about the credibility of their projects, but unfortunately there is no way to verify this.

Well some do attach their ANN thread so that would be your judge if it was a scam or nah. I had few users contacting me to rent my space, but I am not taking any for now since I do not have the time to check the project that they are trying to promote through me.

Usually the offer are through some stablecoins with a fixed amount, so that is that.

I once saw a thread like that in the service board where it was written on the title something like; signature space and avatar for rent, if I’m not wrong. I’ve never opened to check what it is all about but this post just gave me a clearer understanding of what it means. I don’t know there’re such offers coming for people to rent out their signature space or avatar.

I think one needs to be very extra careful of what they promote when they receive such offers. It is better you work under a reputable manager in the forum rather than falling bait of promoting a scam project which will tarnish your image and account in the forum. That should be the worst nightmare you would want to avoid here; promoting a scam project you know nothing about, not getting paid and at the end losing your trust in the forum.

You getting promotional messages inbox OP is your luck and destiny. I know campaign managers do that to members they think are exceptional posters. But I did not know other random members also pm people on that too.

I only receive threats from desperate cheaters and offers to remove negative tags.

That is serious. But what do those who make threats online aim to achieve? Do they expect that such threats can shake someone up or what? What kind of a threat will that be. Someone who they may not even know where he resides, and you are threatening to do them harm? That is funny.

This is the first I have seen someone openly talk about this. I have never received any such pms about promotions or anything of the sort. Legit companies who want their advertising done on the forum know the service board is where they can find reputable bounty/campaign managers, some may choose to create their own forum account to manage the campaign themselves. If you’re getting the offers you say you’re, then you must be doing something right maybe in the gambling or casino threads.

This thread is born out of my personal experience and observations on PM offers on this forum.
For the past few weeks back I have received various offers through personal messages on this forum, asking me to rent out my signature, avatar, and personal text space to promote their brand on this forum so I went into research to access the risk and the benefits that will come with such offers. And I thought of dropping my views on PM offer here on the beginner and help section to help beginners and older members that may receive such offers through PM!

MY FINDINGS ON PM OFFERS
Advantages of PM offer:
1: Pm offer to rent your signature and avatar space is high paying than signatures campaign managed by a forum manager in most cases but not in all cases.
2: PM offer may be long term contract like 2 years offer
3: some offer to pay in advance but this is a rear situation it doesn't happen in most cases.

 Disadvantages of PM offer
1: possible promotion of scam projects that will destroy your reputation in this forum.
2: possibility of not getting paid since you are not under the management of any manager, or using an escrow.

Conclusion:
Newbie and other forum members should be careful and always do a due diligence investigation about any offer through you receive through your PMs as that is one of the ways some companies both legit and scam companies approach forum members to promote their project on this forum and i think for the sake of your forum reputation it is better you only enrolled on legitimate projects.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages,in the aspect of currency fiat or crpto, Bitcoin is the best and everyone is financially free when using bitcoin because of it decentralization. Some persons have chose to make bitcoin their business and don't mind about the votality of it,those are people that loves bitcoin and depend on it no matter its price.

Not everybody depends on it since not everybody is using it,what you depend on are your basic needs,which means you cannot do without them. Peoples can stay without bitcoin, before 2009 the world was trading and everything was OK just the way things are now.

Q1) Is that so? (no associated campaign thread)

Q2) Do they have at least an Ann thread here or alike?

What I’m trying to get at here, is to get an idea of whether this publicity has an associates a discussion framework within the forum or not of any kind.

I don't think so they will be having an ANN thread here on the forum as they are directly trying to contact people and in most cases these are scam projects trying to promote themselves here on the forum but personally I haven't received any such PM and don't know about how they work but it can be estimated that what are their actual intentions.The legit projects would go through campaign manager only and find really good participants for promotion unlike these attempts.

I've had at least one encounter of this kind and if my memory servers it was during the 2017 shitcoin mania where I received a PM (as a legendary member who have been bashing these shitcoin makers!) to help advertise a shitcoin they were trying to scam people with and get paid in that shitcoin no less Tongue
Suffice it to say that the answer they received was my middle finger.
At that time there were hundred of projects trying to raise funds and in the lore they see you as legendary rank member and if you accepted the offer it would have helped them to promote their shitcoin and make people fool but you did what was right and this is what they deserve in reality.

OP, judging by how often you get promotional offers, you're one of the lucky ones. I only receive threats from desperate cheaters and offers to remove negative tags. You somewhat contradict what the forum suggests in the rules. Sending private messages is not the best rule of forum etiquette. On the contrary, the user should be suspicious, and it is not recommended that they follow the suggested links.
Let's not give hope to users, and even more so to beginners, by the fact that one day they will receive a profitable offer in the PM. Your correction that the newcomer will become a legend in the future is correct, but for this, he needs to go a long way, and of course, he will be able to figure everything out later.
I agree, and I know of cases where the managers of two highly paid subscription companies offered participation to some users. But these were very rare cases, and the people themselves were of high rank.
But from your signature, it looks like you're still picking the best deal. Good luck!

Sending PM to offer your service, your open position to work for someone, for any company is prohibited by the forum.

Rules say it is not allowed and if receivers of your PM report you, you will be banned temporarily.

Depends on how many PMs you sent and how serious, how often you sent them, your ban will be shorter or longer. Not all receivers will report the senders but if they report you, ban is coming.
29. Sending unsolicited PMs, including but not limited to advertising and flood, is not allowed.

This will depend on who makes the offer. If it is an untrusted newbie, then that's immediately a red flag. But if it's an untrusted newbie who's willing to put payment funds in a reputable escrow, then it might be legit. But there is also a need to take a look at the company or service that is to be promoted.

Also, it is possible that an offer comes from a known campaign manager here. I know, for example, that there are signature and avatar slots that are offered through PM even though the same is also being posted on the services board. Others might only be offered through PM and recommendations.

You are not alone in this as some members send personal message with their offers, alot of pms are send but most time the offers come from scam prohects that want to introduce their site here but their dont want to come out clean, so i will advise tou stay off them even account sellers too they usually send tgeir offer through personal messages before diverting you to telegram for the final scam.

For several years, I was offered to advertise several suspicious DeFi projects. These projects have probably already closed due to reduced demand. And if I agreed, I would have received negative reviews.
If some sugnature campaigns close after a few weeks, then it is very difficult to hope for long-term contracts. Most likely your account will be used in fraud.

I highly doubt that this was born out of your personal experience.
Admittedly, it’s slightly possible for you to receive a business offer through a PM, I think your chances are extremely slim but then you claim to have received several offers, so I may be wrong Smiley

I do not think offers to rent out signature and avatar space are as plenty as you would have us believe and very few hero and legendary members get such requests. Your write up has no information and gives no value to newbies and beginners on the forum.

On your disadvantages,
1. If you do a proper research, you would know scam projects to stay away from.
2. I think a reputable and genuine project would pay for services rendered to remain reputable and in good standing.

But it’s always good to put it out there on the need to do your own research on offers and practically anything you come across on the forum and on the web.
