All this brings me back to is the overwhelming consensus the forum were in regarding the Livecoin campaign that I was managing.
There was one user with one complaint labeling it as a scam and it seemed to only be fit that I would no longer manage such a campaign - I tried to find a solution to the issues but after no success I was more or less forced to end it.
Now I won't draw any parallels here since these are two different cases with two different issues but it does baffle me somewhat that nobody is taking a similar position as they did with the Livecoin debacle.
You tell me how I can tag Yahoo without causing massive retaliation even though in this case an tag is more than appropriate[1][2], or tagging a massive partitioning in the DT system (i.e. chaos) and I will. This situation has shown two things:
- The DT system is selectively hypocritical (as outlined by you in your argument). Actually, I'm certain that Yobit is by far a worse scam than Livecoin is and that if we assessed the metrics this would be objectively proven true.
- Almost nothing can be done against highly entrenched DT1 members that are financially motivated, especially if there are also other notable members on the payroll (merit source, DT2, other).
As a consequence of this, we have shown complete disregard for all the victims and have pushed the boundary to
some scamming behavior is okay because someone's opinion is that it's actually not a scam. Beyond disgusting what money is capable of invoking in humanity.
[1] Actually the appropriate
proportionate action is to get tagged by several DT members. Not because he was part of it, but because he failed/refused to act based on nothing other than financial motivations while third parties spent tens of hours debating and looking into the case.
