I really don't want to get in the middle of a pissing contest between the scammers of the forum and Vod, but I can confirm this is not true. Vod gave me negative trust for selling accounts, and I sent him a PM laying out my argument as to why I thought his negative trust is invalid and he removed it within a few minutes of me sending my PM. I personally think Vod is a fair person and is willing to listen to a valid, logically argument. 
I would think he probably changed his facebook settings because he does not want to be harassed in RL and does not want his friends to get harassed (enough of that happens on here). While I do enjoy reading all these "I hate vod" threads (as the logic in them is ridiculous, and Vod seems to be exceptionally good at trolling the trolls - it also shows that he is keeping scammers from being able to be successful on the forum and makes it safer to conduct business on here), I think this does cross the line. Also harassing him as you describe above is probably considered stalking in much of the US (and probably Canada too) so you could potentially end up in jail and/or with a criminal record, which I do not think is worth negative trust on an internet forum about bitcoin.
I don't think Mexico is very nice in February. Do you know why he is going in the winter? I have read that Vod was able to retire early from his mining proceeds so I would think he could afford to take a vacation in the "on" season. I might be able to give you a "+1" for this information (with Vod as escrow of course)

bit-x (Thread)
Payment period: Monthly, on the 1st
Minimum posts: 50 posts
Payments: H/L: .0012 per post, S: .001 per post, F: .0006 per post  
Escrow: Macrotheminer is holding funds in the amount of 20 BTC, however payments must be made to a website account so the effect of escrow is removed.
Miscellaneous: No negative trust (you may be able to participate on a case-by-case basis), posts in the marketplace (if you have negative trust), off topic, and any signature campaign thread do not count. Posts must be in English. Must sign up for an account on a website to receive payment to the website address. Maximum of 300 paid posts per month, but if you go over you will likely receive payment.

If you only have the personal message then they will pay .000025 BTC per post. So you would get .0125 for making 500 posts. While it isn't as profitable as you getting .1 it is something and certainly better then nothing

these rates are very low and will primarily attract lower level participants IMO

They have 8 open spots. Their campaign manager has very strict/random rules and routinely does not pay and routinely kicks people out. They appear to be the most common campaign that has open spots. IMO there is a reason for this.

1 @ .75

I think they pay you closer to .006 then .06 per week

It does not appear that he honored the reservations.

Cryptomine.io (Thread)
Payment period: Monthly
Minimum posts: 50, however if you post an additional 50 you will receive an additional payment
Payments: H/L: .2 for the 1st 50 posts, .15 for the next 50 posts, S: .15 for the 1st 50 posts .125 for the next 50 posts, F: .125 for the 1st 50 posts, .1 for the next 50 posts, M: .075 for 50 posts 
Escrow: No. They have a signed message from an address that contains ~7 BTC however it appears to be controlled by someone with zero trust. IMO users will not receive payment.
Miscellaneous: Currently closed for new participants. The campaign will start Dec 1 and run through Dec 30. Limited to 10 members, 10 full members, 7 senior members and 6 Hero/Legendary members. They picked participants in a non-transparent way (very sketchy). Users will be disqualified if the majority of posts are made "in a few days" or in "one section" (he later clarified that the only applies to off topic posts). Participants have a low chance of receiving payment. 

This is unfortunately true. Just because you control a bitcoin address with 7+ BTC in it does not mean that you will actually spend it.

I also think the method that participants were selected was somewhat sketchy.

This should be very interesting. They recently spent 24 BTC on forum advertising for 7-8 days of banner ads

How are you going to verify if they actually pay users or not?

How will escrow work if the OP is making payments directly to their accounts? I think payment should be made directly to a BTC address to prevent anyone from claiming they were not paid

I agree, we desperately need competition. They do however have suspiciously high rates. I posted on their thread that they should consider removing the requirement that you need to have an account as there is no real reason to have this.

I personally think that no one should even put up their signature until they have escrow setup and confirmed.

Like all other new members, it is advisable to not join a campaign until it has funds in escrow. The length of time that it has been around means that it is impossible to tell if they are a ponzi or not

I would suggest you drop the requirement of participants having an account. Having this requirement makes it somewhat sketch and members will likely create an account for the sole purpose of participating in your campaign.

Also you should have had signature codes created before you announced your campaign so your advertisers could start immediately.

EDIT: you should also have had escrow lined up before announcing as well

They don't even have a signature code yet (LOL). I think the fact that they are forcing people to have an account is somewhat sketch. I will be convinced once they have BTC in escrow but until then they are probably a scam.

I believe so, however their rates are 0.0001 BTC for members (and do not have rates for higher then members) which is very low.

^^Additional news regarding the PD signature campaign. We could see the campaign open back up very soon
