This might be a bit off-topic but I think not too much because it is related to the OP's trust profile. I don't quite understand why there is a waring flag in this thread for unregistered forum visitors (and I guess newbies too):

But if I go to his trust profile, no flag appears, and even less an active one.

I have also seen that in other threads initiated by him the warning appears in some of them and not in others. For example, in this mining altcoins thread it does appear:
What is FPGA miner?But in Development & Technical Discussion it does not appear, as for example in this one:
Is it possible to find out which X coordinate is -N ?I think he is given such members spots on a case by case basis <...>
I think so too.
I don't know if the projects he's managing campaigns for care if shady members advertise for them or not, but said members better hope Royse777 keeps managing campaigns and remains sympathetic.
I think he has proven that he is a very good campaign manager so he must have had good reasons to hire digaran. As for the advertisers I guess if I were one of them I would be worried that the threads opened by one of the forum members I pay would appear with a big warning sign, as at least some of digaran's threads do. After all, red tags are not shown to unregistered visitors to the forum, these types of flag warnings are very conspicuous.
