The forum has a very basic problem and contradiction.
Management says "you can open alternative accounts, this way you can express yourself better"
If the identity of your account is known, you cannot express yourself freely.
So it makes sense to open an alternative account. For free thoughts.
But, Bounty manager and some DT member says, "You can't use different accounts."
That's exactly where all the fights start.
If alt-account is allowed in this forum, then I should be able to use the account as I wish.
Scam or theft is something different. We need to catch these.
But shouldn't we be able to use an account that we developed with own ideas as we wish?
Can we discuss this? Only some DT Members form ethical rules in their own judgment.
With this trend, the forum will gradually shrink.
Distinguished writers are excluded, accused, pushed out.
I think campaigns that do not accept Forum rules should be thrown out.
This forum is not created for ads in the signature.
This forum was created for free thought and quality articles.
Let's not forget the philosophy that Satoshi left us.
Free thought, Decentralization, Personal privacy.
I just wanted to write my thoughts.
I want to start a philosophical discussion. (Not for personal discussion)
Please don't be mad at me. I'm sorry for my bad english.

But there is a constant fight in the forum.
Reason for the fight is always same: alt-accounts and bounty.
Therefore, the most popular sections: Meta and Reputation.
The fights are tiring and annoying.
Forum rules clearly say "You can use different accounts". Even this is encouraged.
In this case, it is ethical to participate in signature campaigns on different accounts.
In this case, participating in signature campaigns on different accounts is not "abuse".
If I bring up a topic. Can I announce my own rules?
* Swear/curses to each other
* Share nude photos
* Do plagiarism
That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Because the forum has rules.
Additional:
The forum rules say "you can use alternative accounts".
Rules don't say, "You can't join the same ad campaign."
So you can use your account as you like.
The purpose of advertising campaigns is to show more people.
Researching people like the police is not the goal.
The missing rule in Bounty is:
"You must earn xx merits in the last 120 days"
If you are looking for quality in the forum, the merit system was made for this.
If conditions are changed appropriately, advertising campaigns also achieve their goal.
After writing quality articles for years, an account can join any campaign.
Why are you fighting so much for this? Merit is very difficult and hard to win.
Why isn't it considered ethical to participate in the same ad campaign?
Whose ethical judgments will we accept? There is no such jurisdiction in the forum rules.
This is not fraud. This situation does not deserve negative trust.
Because the rules fit this situation. We're just discussing ethically.
You have written many valuable comments. My goal is not a bad thing. It's just an ethical-philosophical discussion.
