When Vod's account was hacked

i agree that this campaign is very unique and it does appeal to people who are not very active. That is why I suggested the option to add an option to get paid per post for more active users. They just tried to spend 24 BTC on 4 forum ad slots but their bid was rejected by theymos, which is why I suggested signature advertising as theymos does not moderate what is advertised on paid signstures and is generally more cost efficient (from what I can see, especially with bigger budgets)

your advertising money might be more efficiently spent if you changed your campaign to pay per post so people would want to post more while they are wearing your signature. (Or you could give participants the option of no post minimum or pay per post).

One slot on forum advertising tends to cost ~3-6 btc for ~8 days. To compare prime dice had their signature on almost every active thread when they were open to everyone and they only paid participants around ~25-30 btc per month

this is a bounty for others to propose signstures to be used in the future. The actual campaign will start at a date that is tbd

If you think he is enabling a scam then you should make a claim against the scam.

You dismiss that someone will not try to scam if they cannot raise money from selling their account. If they are desperate enough to sell their account then why would they not scam if this avenue is not available? Not everyone that scams is a psychopath, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Has no one ever scammed after acting honestly on here?

There is nothing wrong with selling your account. If the owner needs money and someone else is willing to pay for an account there is no reason why this transaction would be in any way wrong. Just because someone has completed trades successfully does not change the above, some may say it would be a greater justification for an original owner to selling his account when he needs money as he has previously contributed to the Bitcoin economy.

If you have a problem with a (potentially) sold account having positive trust like this then I would message the person who left the trust to see if they want to have it removed.

If you don't have a problem with the "real" gusti then making this claim is illogical as others in a similar situation as him will have a more difficult time raising money from their account like this as buyers will not be willing to pay as much because of the risk of this happening to them. If they cannot raise money by selling an account then they may resort to trying to scam (which ironically is what you "want" to prevent)

Edit: I will also say the account had almost certainly not been sold in the last 30 days so even if what you are saying is true, it is old news

has stunna givin you any information at all regarding the campaign above what he said publicly (or even what he wants you to do)

The account was not hacked. The account was purchased for reasons, did not try to participate in signature campaigns (as most people who buy accounts will do) and now wants a refund.

Stunna said that the campaign will be open to Seniors, Hero and Lengendary members at first then will later open up to full member, member and jr members

Are bans like this ever reversed?

the bankroll is small enough that it can't afford .07 for hosting.

And it probably isn't real.

All collateral should be held by a trusted third party

i think trading of accounts is not as taboo as it once was although you are right that much of the community does not approve

EDIT: after sending even a 2nd followup message, it appears that it was probably just ad spam :/ as I have not received any kind of response. His post history suggests he is doing this to others as well.

i sent you a pm

yes. It looks like it was the above sample. I am very impressed. Great work!

My personal favorite color is blue, but I am open to the signatures having other colors. I want the participant to be creative in making their own text. Like I said in my OP, I want it to focus on the ability of people to potentially be able to earn a lot via participating in a pay per post signature campaign. A detailed quote of the theme is below:
Although I do have reservations with doing business with someone who admitted to extorting someone, you do have my word that I will give you a fair chance, however I am not going to outright buy your template as I want to have the opportunity to see others' submissions to be able to purchase the best one.

Like I said in my OP, I agree to pay .08 for any submission that I buy, however I am willing to pay more for an exceptionally good submission (potentially .1 or more, but I do not want to make any promises that I do not know I will keep yet)

I don't really like the colorful one, but the other one does somewhat interest me, however I am not sure how you would edit it to meet my "themes". If I were to see a prototype, then I might be interested (don't post the actual BB codes, but rather post a screen shot of the result to prevent others from stealing your work.

EDIT: the non-colorful one would probably not be worth .15 to me, however it may be potentially be worth more then the .08 then I am offering per purchased set. (I am more interested in the non-red theme, then the negative trust theme if you only want to create one)

Hmmm....I am curious to know how you report so many posts. Per above you reported ~1k posts since you were promoted which was only a few months ago and works out to ~10 per day or ~300 per month

I am up to ~315 right now, still with a 91% accuracy rating, and do the same with multiple reports on one thread. Maybe it has to do with the lack of signature deals making me post less in general, which means I find less potential reports

Geeze, that is a lot of reports.

When you report a post in a thread, but see other bad posts, do you say to look at the other posts, or do you report all of the posts in the thread (for example for multiple undeleted bumps)? The same goes for someone spamming and their post history....do you report one post and make a note in the report that they have a history of spamming, or so you report all of the shit/spam posts?

Hero members actually cost a little bit more then that, however their value is a lot less then the amount of free advertising that crypto mine is going to get by using a "hero" as "escrow"
