I've said it before and I've said it again as well...better in my.pocket than some gamblers pocket. I'll happily take the coins from the campaigns each week and NOT give it back to the casinos, as others might, and put the coins toward better places (any place is better than to a casino).
Buddy no hard feelings here, your post was pointed out to me by 1miau and it serve as a perfect example to replace an old version of what my point was trying to prove. I don't have an issue with you and if you feel that way about this thread no problem but just don't speak bad against something and still promoting it and expect us to keep a blind eye. Is just like someone speaking bad against mixer yet advertising one on the forum. Gambling isn't all bad but when you abuse it that's when it gets dangerous. We have other campaign that you can promote and besides, stealing from a thief doesn't make you a righteous person.
I think that your guideline is ultimately pointless and a lot of what I had said has been completely ignored.
I'll use the Marmite example again.
Let's say that I don't like marmite, how it is made or it's ingredients, and yet, I can still talk about Marmite constructively (and objectively if I I wanted to) and was offered to be paid by Marmite to advertise Marmite in my signature.
Does taking this advertising opportunity really mean that I am compromising myself just to take an opportunity to
lease digital space in my forum signature?
Of course, gambling has higher ethical and moral problems than Marmite. However, if I am able to go to that board and post constructively and objectively, and have a different opinion than just "yay I love gambling and I gamble my signature earnings to Stake.com every week" (as is how a lot of the gambling board members are there) then is that not a good thing?
The consequence of your guideline and using me as an example of this false label of hypocrisy is that you have no one who is incentivized to think objectively and against the unhealthy gambling nature in that board. Your guideline is trying to make all campaign participants to be proponents with no subjective/objective thinking toward Gambling.
Is that the agenda you want to push?
