I wasn't going to respond in this thread at first due to the nature of the thread being basically an attack and some attacks require no response. Then when I woke up today and logged in I started seeing an agenda of sorts being pushed, so I figured why not take some time to think about my response before posting in a heated capacity and looking like a prick.
I don't want to go through this whole thread and quote tens of users and reply, instead i'll make a statement covering most of users concerns.
This thread was made way back in April of last year where I asked for community input on a PM I had received regarding managing Yobits campaign. Notice the words used here
YOBITS CAMPAIGN. There was no mention of cryptotalk because the forum had not existed yet. So all the members (20+) who said a manager is better then no manager should walk away from this discussion and move on. You spoke your piece in that thread.
Now let's fast forward to September 2019. I was again approached by yobit in regards to pushing their forum. I had no issues with that being as it was not considered a scam in any capacity. The campaign quickly filled up over 600 users in record time being as their were no registration requirements minus must be Sr member or higher. There was no selection process. No fear of using alts. No merit requirement. Nothing. You just go to the link and add the signature and do the other requirements and you're in. I was not a manager in any capacity either really, just a quality checker.
Then, fast forward to December 24th 2019, I woke up to the whole campaign changing. No communication from Yobit regarding any changes, just woke up to a pm stating here's the new sigs, change them please. When I seen the new sigs and seen a good amounts of comments regarding them, I contacted Yobit and told them changes needed to be made.
They changed the sigs (which is when I started wearing the signature code) and everything looked to be fine. I would not have been ok with the investbox staying, mentioned it at least a couple times in other threads. The reasoning for me wearing the sig was to test it at first, then I decided i'm not under contract with any other sites at the moment, I may as well keep it on. The offer was tested and worked so I personally did not see it as a scam.
I've read all the comments in this thread to this point and disagree with a few of you, while also agreeing with some points. Bottom line, the campaign is over. Everyone wants to form a lynch mob at Laudas request, feel free. You can ~me or distrust me or even tag me if you feel it is necessary. Life will go on. I feel like I did a fair job and held users to at least some sort of standard in the campaign.
Final point, everyone thinks being on DT is special or something and here lately it's not. It's really just a joke anymore. Seems like everyone is DT is some shape or form and the system is shit. Being on DT or off Dt makes no difference to me any longer. The old system, although still broken, was much better and way fewer wannabes looking to get noticed.
Going against Yahoo means you are losing your chance to get accepted in any of the campaign that is managed by yahoo. So another financial motivation working behind this subject not to see many response from forum users.
Perhaps this may be true but I haven't seen any particular evidence of someone being denied from a campaign he's managed based upon a personal vendetta. Then again, it'd be kind of hard to prove because any applicant can be denied for any arbitrary reason. It is bizarre to see the love letters people post about Yahoo in hopes they'll be accepted in future campaigns for flattering him
like this or the people that bump his
campaign management services thread. It's almost all less established members that post this garbage too so I don't think any high ranking members whose words actually carry weight would be afraid to speak out as they don't have any issues getting accepted to signature campaigns.
I will not disqualify anyone from a campaign for having an opinion. There are several users I have hired whom I disagree with on certain things. People should not fear any backlash from me if they speak an opinion and if they do I apologize. We are not all going to agree on the same things and we shouldn't. We were born with free will and the right to choose.
