Why are people that do not register on this forum not seeing the positive, neutral and negative trust of registered users on this forum when they are able to see their signature and avatar?
I certainly do not understand why, and I'll prefer that guests do not see signatures or avatars as well, except maybe, the forum ad.Guests are limited from a couple of options, like viewing trust, or using the search option which are useful is safely navigating the forum. They should equally be limited from viewing signatures and avatars which are means of advertisment, as they are not adequately informed on which links are considered safe by the community and which are not.
On every platform, there are always privileges enjoyed by registered users as opposed to visitors. This happens to be one of those rights and I think the forum have done the most in ensuring that, they've got a flag up on there thread as denoted in Poker Player's post here
But they can see the flags.
That aside, bktcointalk isn't the only place they might encounter these sites. There are a variety of other advertisements going on elsewhere and they've go no warnings up like th forum have done. I take Mycelium wallet for an example. I've seen 1xbit up a few times so, we can't write the forum down on the warnings. Curious visitors can still find the Ann thread while others could create an account to fully understand what's going on in the forum.
