I guess nobody reported it. I saw the thread, but since it's
an established altcoin, I decided not to report it anymore. Banning OP and participants for this seems excessive to me.
I love the openness from the moderators to explain why they delete a post and thread, doesn't happen everywhere, really appreciate it.
Even though I disagree, I commend mprep for being very consequent in applying the rules. I bet he'd ban theymos too if he would have opened the thread.
You have every right to disagree but actually they just DON'T want any kind of altcoins giveaway in that section even if the intention is to pay BTC but because of the transaction fees, they have to pay altcoins.
My opinion doesn't matter but I think it would have been better handled had the OP been given a warning and asked to either remove the altcoins from the giveaway or just separate it into 2 different sections. One for BTC and the other in altcoin bounties for ALTS.
