Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns
I agree that I do not like commercialising this community thread and someone is profiting from this. Being a staff makes this worse.
Please explain how. If it's because I get paid by Theymos, should I deny the payment for what I do? Would you do that? Updating this thread takes quite a while. The updates I just did took me 20 minutes and they are 4/5 small ones. I re-read the thread, skim for stuff that I missed, etc.The success of this thread comes from the overview table and the original idea and design is not even OP's. It is mine. He cannot claim rights to something that is not his in the beginning. I suggested the table format and coded it (on page 3), thinking I am helping the community.
If the ads are helping bitcoin startups for free, it would be ok. Now, a staff member's thread is advertising accounts trading!
Yes, you gave me the basic idea for a table and a lot of people have contributed towards it, giving me good ideas, etc. I'm very grateful for that, because it has helped (and still helps) a lot of people. If you don't agree with what I do/did, I could redo the table design so that you aren't involved with the idea anymore. A whole new design, extra information, etc. If the ads are helping bitcoin startups for free, it would be ok. Now, a staff member's thread is advertising accounts trading!
I do not endorse any ads, I just put up the ad from the person who won, if it's allowed inside this forum.
Here is a poll about the ad: Should I remove the ad. I will let it run till tomorrow and decide based on the votes.
i voted "remove". While I'm no where near as passionate as sed about this issue, I also stopped visiting the OP of this thread after ads went up. I still check in occasionally on the last few pages to see if anything interesting is being discussed. my o my, look at al the hot shit going down these days.
