There are many who were blacklisted because they were caught cheating using multiple accounts. That is unfair to other honest airdrop participants. Based on my experience, I suggest to you to not rush applying for the airdrop. If you have time, find my previous post about the tips I gave on how to increase your chances to be accepted to the air drop.

I followed an article I saw in the internet with a step by step guide on how to apply for the airdrop. Unfortunately, the author wrote several items that were wrong. He said it's ok to use the novaexchange deep onion walklet address. It turned out that is not advisable. Many got in trouble for using that address. Use the local wallet address generated by the deep onion wallet software. His list also put applying for the airdrop at the very top, which is wrong again. You should make quality posts first in bitcointalk and in deeponion forum before applying. There are other rules also, please check the deeponion.org site for more details. Read and reread them again. Good luck!

All coin airdrops are for advertisement. It is a way to have people join the community and spread awareness of a coin. Rank is not always an indicator of someone who make quality posts. In many cases, rank is just the result of making many posts for a long period of time. I think what the deeponion devs and its community want are people making quality posts, joining the community and people who invest in the coin and did not join the airdrop just to dump the coins immediately. Airdrop participants represent the Deep Onion coin and its community. It's bad for business if you let  people that represent you, post bad things, quarrel against others and start trouble. You don't want that on any coin. What's happening now is that so many people are trying to get into the airdrop that the devs have no choice but to be strict so they can remove cheaters and those applicants that can be bad for the coin and its community.
