Also, many posters would have gladly joined this campaign if 1xbit's reputation was positive, but they avoided it primarily because of their negative reputation which was why they were forced to accept people like you.
I don't think so, some people were still joining this campaign and the red trust given to 1xbit didn't seem to faze or deter this people from joining this campaign, they even got their own red trust for joining the campaign which is the right thing to do so as to brand who has morals or dignity. I am still a bit sad about this though as they are still doing campaign which means that they are still stealing from people outside the forum.
