*has sent a PM
That's all I wanted to post.
This sort of self righteous bullying all over the forum needs to stop.
Wrong. I was advised to take a uniform approach (before the existence of this thread and me knowing the user list) and tag everyone instantly after sending out the PM, i.e. not even be generous as Jolly was with the 24 hours. People who removed their signatures would have their tag removed, those that didn't were implicitly acknolwedging awareness of the situation and admitting they condone advertising for scams (thus their own actions or well inaction makes them inherently untrustworthy and worthy of the tag).

iluvbitcoins please stop arguing the advertising a ponzi scam (i.e. helping people get scammed) is sensible or otherwise you'll find yourself on autopilot to self-destruction of your own account. You can thank me later.

Legally, you're probably right though. Google has been earning money having phishing sites advertise on their search results for many years, and reporting the ads doesn't mean they get removed so it's intentional.
How about we don't waste time what a broken justice system thinks should imprison regular citizen and not the lawmaker, and actually focus on the distinction between good and evil whereas Yobit is a pure display of of the latter?

This is probably the most well-intended post in this thread.
Stands like this can easily result in account destruction.

I will admit I am taking a more defensive stand than I usually would.
I am very much against ponzies, I have written extensive posts on this forum about the pension plan which is clearly a ponzi and where so many young people are going to lose their money. This isn't a ponzi, it's an inflationary coin (like our FIAT, except this one is voluntary) and for that reason I have removed the signature.

I didn't research into YoBit at all because I have believed it's not my job to do so for reasons I outlined above.
If I thought they were a scam I would have removed the signature much earlier. I didn't.
I will retreat now for my own good.
