Yobit, on the other hand, started out advertising their competing forum, then sneakily attempted to connive all the participants to advertise their X10 scam. Yahoo62278 didn't apply that signature to his account, and even put in the effort to convince Yobit to retract and replace it. At this point the two; LiveCoin and Yobit signature campaigns can more closely be compared.
I'll only respond to this one, not looking to pick a fight with anyone or cause any drama.
I would say that knowing it was YoBits forum it kind of defeats the idea of "Well I only marketed this part of it". We all knew it was yobits forum, we all knew they were pushing their x10 scam on that forum and so I see no reason why it would be acceptable to market their "lesser evil" side. But that's the thing about opinions right? We all have one and sometimes (or most times) we'll disagree
.I'm not defending Yahoo62278's decision to wear the signature himself, I would not have done so in his situation. And I'm certainly not defending the manipulation which Yobit used to advertise their exchange. If I had to pick the more productive method with which the two scenarios were handled, I believe you handled the LiveCoin debacle with more honor and dignity. But that's not to take anything away from Yahoo62278, he volunteered for a job that would make me cringe, and did it remarkably.
I will however defend the choice by DT members to not tag Yahoo62278. I think it shows restraint and care. Like I said, I'm convinced both exchanges are scams, but I won't use my position to force others to agree with me. I will always allow room for disagreement and difference of opinion.
I'd be surprised if the bolded part doesn't land more exclusions. I'd also expect both retaliatory ratings and exclusions for whoever goes after Yahoo. But this is all fine since nobody did anything wrong, they just had a (financially-motivated) opinion.
