I have been watching DeepOnion too, and also following it on deep onion.org. It looks to me like the members who are "In" the airdrop try especially hard to not let anyone else in, in order to not share the spoils of their making.
This might be fine, but I think the shortsighted way they are going about this will have a very negative longer term impact on the project as a whole. Not only will there be more limited distribution but there will be a long tail of people who will snipe and badmouth the project every step of the way.
Just my opinion from reading the posts - which by the way is a pay because the project itself could go places if greed wasn't so obvious.
No!
I'm very happy to see more people getting Airdrops because that means more expansion.
I have made a thread like this to help people join and I also answer PMs to people who want advices to be able to join.
https://deeponion.org/community/threads/guide-i-got-blacklisted-now-what.2888/You have to understand the amount of people who cheat, too many people want to take advantage of DeepOnion and that's why our Community wants something regulated, because that's how you can achieve a successful Airdrop.
If you can't join right now, be patient and maybe you can join in the future. I was in position too, more than 1 month trying to get in because I couldn't fill the rules and now I am very happy to be patient those days.
