Look at his signature space, "This space can't be bought, just like it's owner" or whatever.
They're just like 90% of everyone else in this thread trying to make advertising cheap, and people earning money for advertising cheap.
"Oh, so you're earning a few extra cents per month? Scum of the earth, I presume."
It's someone trying to "Prove a point" about his own signature space, and implies that if you sell yours you have sold your soul.
Technically speaking, I'm not against using the sig to represent or even advertise a 3rd party...
It's what is being advertised is what catches my eye. Nothing but scams or skimming sites, rigged gambling sites (where rigging got so normal, they even openly admit or advertise with it) and other questionable "services".
Not far down the road, and people would advertise for human trafficing, drugs, slaves and any other contraband if they could just get away with it - just for as long as they make a little profit off it.
You'll never find me questioning anyone giving his sig to a good cause. Why should I ?
It's the complete absence of morale and ethics - sold out for a few Satoshis - that I point my finger at.
I simply won't have warm&nice words to folks who count money with a grin on their face, earned by assisting to channel unsuspecting people into places where they get skinned left&right.
At this point its not satoshis, its 0.1-0.5 BTC per month (average)...
Varies due to referrals?
Well if you use Stunnas sig, it varies with the amount of posts.
But you use referral in your sig, don't you? That must net you some coin
No, I dont. That link just came with the signature.
Fair play, although it is an affiliate link for somebody - even if it isn't you who is reaping the rewards, somebody is haha. A fixed payment scheme would much better suit my intermittent activity on Bitcointalk - though unfortunately I don't see that option being made widely available for obvious reasons.
I always thought that Stunna (and co) should employ a whitelist approach - have a team of say the top 5-10 trusted participants and only let them take part. After all, they would likely make up more than half of all posts. Just a thought.
