I was suspicious due to various reasons, especially with the whole 12% APR stuff. That immediately sounds fishy to me, after experiencing sooo many 'staking platform' ponzis coming and going (exit scamming) over the years.

So if not for the 12% APR you wouldn't be suspicious? and what are the other various reasons you had? anything that doesn't apply to every single service that is currently running?

I did not want to risk something like this happening and having my name attached to it.

See this is the point of disagreement here, you think your name is attached to the service you advertise as if you are holding yourself responsible for the outcome, I would like to remind you that people lost a lot more funds on CM than they did on WW, according to your logic, all of us who advertised it have our names attached to CM and should take a part of the responsibility?

The end result for both CM and WW is lost funds, people who lost funds couldn't care less how and why it happened.

No guarantees of course; after all we're just forum handles here. But these handles do have some reputation and I do think we put it on the line whenever we endorse something (in writing or implicitly through signatures).

Advertising != endorsement.

That being said, I don't judge anyone with a different opinion, just throwing mine out there, as that's kind of what we do, right.. Cheesy

I don't mind people disagreeing with what I say, in fact, I get that more often than not, but I had three clear points as follows:

1- You didn't know it would turn out to be this.
2- You had no way of knowing.
3- You were not a part of the scam, but rather a victim.

You said exactly this:

I don't fully agree, especially with points 1 and 2

So you are saying that

1- We did know it would turn out to be a scam.
2- We had ways of knowing.

Saying you don't agree with those points means nothing but that, and you went as far as comparing WW to Bitconnect, implying intentionally or unintentionally that every one of us knew for sure it was a scam (just as we knew Bitconnect was) and yet continued to advertise it. Cheesy

I don't see any difference in your point of view between WW and the very service you advertise right now, You can't guarantee they won't exist scam AND you are not sure they are actually scams. Suspicion, not feeling good about it, don't like the logo, don't like the op, all mean nothing, it's either you are SURE it's scam on which you have to expose it rather than stay silent and show up after the party to say "I knew it" -- or, you are not certain of neither legitimacy nor scam and thus there is no difference between any service you advertise.
