1. buy and sell account
Yes, I've spent 4 years on this forum building up myself so that I can save an additional $10-20 per account sale. Don't you see how absurd this theory is?
2. put high rates as campaign manager
That is much better than random half-baked users, which don't give a damn about those campaigns, undermining the rates just to get the job.
3. selected who can join the signature campaign or easy for you give priority to your friends to join in sig campaigns.
This can already happen with every campaign. Not specially relevant to SMAS.
And also by the times goes with this way open to other bitcoin forum compete with bitcointalk because by manipulation scheme the member of forum will leave the forum.
Slippery slope fallacy.
How can you can make campaign B compete with campaign A "easy for you all to put not active member in campaign A"
Can we stop with the useless conspiracy theories? I can't talk for the other managers, but I have a very strong opinion against market manipulation and attempts at bribing me. Not only would they lose the bribe (money), they'd be exposed and possibly sued (depending on information available).
which adds credence to the conspiracy theories, and that's the short list. What are we supposed to think?
