It is quite a simple issue

* Frodo is doing what he thinks is best by punishing those that he feels are posting only for financial gain

* The op is upset that his hard work was deleted on the above grounds, although those suspicions of Frodo were correct.

* others seemingly backing Frodo that motivation is a factor and that it is " the wrong motivation" for posting


The interests of the forum should be the priority.

If people want to class this forum as a source of employment and put huge effort in to ensure their posts are of the very highest value that when reviewed afford them the very best chances of chipmixer riches. Then that is not negative for the forum essential.
Well until the money drys up and all those valuable posters vanish I guess.


It is best for the forum that the campaign managers are capable of discering the most valuable posters and the same for mods. Motivation is largely irrelevant to the forum to create an optimal environment.

I fully support Frodo coopers view that posting purely for financial gain is mercenary and may suggest such posters are not real enthusiasts of contributing essentially to the design , implementation and adoption of decntralized fruitless projects which is kind of annoying they are taking revenue that real enthusiasts could be sharing.

For now the best thing a mod could do to help with that would be continually scamming members of chipmixer and other highly paid campaigns post history rigorously making sure that they are only taking payment for truely high quality posts.

There are members on chipmixer whom have freely admitted their greatest achievement after years of membership here is getting accepted to a highly paid sig campaign. This same chipmixer spammer was caught out sneakily using a puppet account to publish racist sig spans at the highest sig rates that he could. He was actually caught out jumping from one sig to another because the rate of pay was slightly more.

I'm sure he will be here to lecture that financially motivated posting is wrong and should be punished.

Chipmixer should be rotated through the best posters and mods should be ensuring their clear financially motivated posting is not driving them to clutter the forum with low value pollution.

If course because some mods are working for chipmixer and other highly paid sig campaigns you have a clear conflict if interests.

TLDR. Frodo has the correct idea but best to go for posts that provide demonstrably less value. This one can be argued provided real value to the forum regardless of the clear financially driven motivation to post.

I suspect a huge proportion of chipmixer posters make posts purely to get another 6 or 8 bucks.

So mods could certainly help ensure they are publishing posts of real value for their btc.

That's actually a good idea. Chipmixer posts that have no value thread should be started so mods can easily locate them. Report the most deleted chipmixer nonsense earn chipmixer rev they save from paying for valueless financially motivated noise. Double credits for reporting a family member or alt.

Perhaps if those claiming financially motivated posting is wrong removed their own sigs we could all feel less nauseous
