I have been watching DeepOnion too, and also following it on deep onion.org. It looks to me like the members who are "In" the airdrop try especially hard to not let anyone else in, in order to not share the spoils of their making.

This might be fine, but I think the shortsighted way they are going about this will have a very negative longer term impact on the project as a whole. Not only will there be more limited distribution but there will be a long tail of people who will snipe and badmouth the project every step of the way.

Just my opinion from reading the posts - which by the way is a pay because the project itself could go places if greed wasn't so obvious.

It's sad to read that this is your impression. Where did you get this feeling of greed being shown from members of the DO community? This thread alone shows so many examples where questions from new members or those who are interested in the airdrop are almost answered instantly and very helpful. The DO forum is also filled with positive vibes. On youtube, there are many many tutorials or videos about faqs.

Hope that what you're describing was just bad luck.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any and join the forum

Sorry, I am not trying to be a troll here and I do appreciate that there is plenty of scope for abuse - this is purely from reading the posts of what appear to me to be people who are genuinely frustrated with the process and also looking at the acceptance/decline levels. I am all for stamping out abuse but unless you get broad support (which in my mind doesn't come from closed communities and alientating potential fans) you don't get the big adoption you are all ultimately looking for. Don't want to be upsetting anyone but hey - if I am wrong fair enough, but thats how it looks to me, have a read through your own forums - half the people seem to afraid to have a meaningful conversation about your project, and the other half seem to be banned or blacklisted.

Firstly you need meaningful discussions - not excommunicating anyone who isn't drinking copious amounts of coolaid, secondly you need to stop banning people who want to be involved.

Peace.
