Sorry mate that thread is here from 2014. I dont think you are understanding what I am saying. I saw that thread when it was posted here in a reply.
Are you assuming forum rules expire after a certain amount of time? The thread is
sticky in two sections, wich shows it is still very actual.
As long as a rule is not revoked, it should be considered active and thus be enforced.
All airdrop threads are still here. What deleted are the ones started in last two three days with eltc - ebtc - edash - eripple kind of threads.
If some were deleted, then "all" aren't here any more. How could all still be here, if some are gone?
Threads that are problematic as per the rule were removed, those that aren't are fine.
If airdrop thread is illegal in this forum then why this rule imply on eltc - ebtc and other exxxxx coins only. Why not implements to all the airdrops?
Not all airdrops are problematic, we learn which are if we read the sticky thread instead of ignoring it based on its age.
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.
Those that give incentives to post in the thread and reward people who do so are problematic, and thus forbidden.
The deleted threads included such conditions, and were removed as a result.
Airdrops that do not request this behaviour are still there and ok, eg ByteBall or Bitcore.
I hope you understand now.
Eventually, you will.
