Signature campaigns give sites credibility. So does advertising on this forum through paid ads. The fact that Theymos denied Betcoin.ag from advertising on this forum is totally relevant information that should be considered when making your own opinion on the situation. But in the end, we each have our own opinion of the situation and have the right to leave whatever trust we see fit.
Just a small point. Theymos did not accept ads from bitmixer. But Bitmixer's signature campaign is alive and kicking.
The forum did carry ads of Bitcoin Black Friday, which turned out to be a scam.
So we shouldn't be linking everything to the forum's ad policy.
. What theymos does is his call, not mine & not anybody Else's. Someone is a fan of him ? sure follow him but don't censor others to do it too.
Fortune jack openly lied about their video contest & didn't payed the 50+ btc bonuses but nobody has problems with them. Their campaign runs smoothly too.
'Extorting participants & saying what is acceptable and what is not' is not your right.What duties do you fulfill so you get the rights to say me what is wrong or what is acceptable ? do u pay my taxes ? do u pay my rent ? do u pay forum bills ? do u pay forum taxes ? do you come and speak in the court for me ? updating that fucking signature thread are your Duties ? are you even fucking serious ?
Telling people what I think is or is not acceptable is my right. Trusting or untrusting someone based on their actions is my right.
If you don't like what I think or do, then untrust me.
Same with Luptin.
Just because more people trust Luptin than me doesn't mean you have to or that he has any more rights than me.
Lutpin could of easily just neg repped all of them immediately. I suspect (not speaking for him) he didn't because he doesn't want to create drama.
Do you have any relevant questions?
