1) They made a scrypt to check signatures and posts. They use automatic payout with the bot. They designed smart rules.
That's quite easy to do; almost trivial.

There are lots of shady things about the project, but it's free. There's tons of bad ICO that actually collect money from investors and walk away
Classic
relative privation fallacy (aka, "not as bad as" fallacy), which is not an actual argument that goes in favor of the project.
Lauda as much as I disagree with your banning of me from the Bitmixer campaign (R.I.P), you have a point about this being shady.
However, keep something in mind. While I am not suggesting you are wrong, don't forget even a company like BTC-e which is the most shady of all is working hard to pay back everyone who had funds on their exchange despite the fact we do not know their identities. They could take our BTC and run, but they are legit. From this perspective, DeepONION could also be legit, and their owners simply hiding their identities. IT doesn't prove they aren't legit. Hope this makes sense...
