...then I'd issue a mass PM to every single person wearing their Signature and would point out:
- Evidences and cases of their scams.
- The consensus of the community that advertising any scams is unacceptable, or particularly in this case that advertising Yobit is unacceptable.
I myself drafted a “PSA [public service announcement]” type post to give Yobit advertisers fair warning, with a request therein that others bring it to the attention of those whom they know. “Friends don’t let friends do Yobit.” And on my part, that is not mere rhetoric: I see too many people whom I otherwise respect wearing Yobit ads! I intended to make my “PSA” post, then PM it to them on not other than an amicable basis.
I have been independently working on this issue for some time, and kept quiet about it for reasons which I do not yet care to discuss publicly. For my part, I am a loose cannon even worse than you—I want a DT consensus, but I will not myself promise to obey such a thing or the lack thereof. My principal concern is to put Yobit advertisers on notice, such that all know or should know they are advertising a scam site. Then, each must make his own choices, and bear his own consequences. That said, I certainly respect your stand for keeping the forum peace (or at least, minimizing the inevitable drama)—and I think your reasoning is quite sound.
