I see what's happening in this thread, and I applaud all efforts to clean up scammy-ness on bitcointalk, but I do have a question about this.

Are all of these services scams?  Is there a reason why none of them are legitimate?  You probably have some idea about my level of crypto ignorance, and I don't expect a long, detailed answer.  The reason I ask is that I used the service that the Jimmy55 guy offered, twice, and both times my transaction got accelerated within minutes of me posting my request.

He did ask for a tip, and I sent him something like 500 doge, which I was happy to do.  Is that a scam?  Could I have found a free accelerator to do the same thing?  You guys think he used a free service?
