Thanks for making life simpler for a lot of people, and i think going by all the valid constraints and reservations, one can only say, someone is doing the hard work for you, but that still does not mean you do not determine your own reasons against a certain consensus.

New red flag:

Highreward Coin (HIGHCOIN)  Huge Bonus

118% is too big of a bonus for an ICO. Just imaging how low will be the price on EtherDelta.

Excellent thread. I would say that some of the red flags are more like "yellow" or "orange" flags if you know what I mean. A red flag IMO is something that is a deal breaker. Just to mention some red bright red flags:

- Team´s Linkedin profiles with no contacts or with contacts that once you dig a little bit, don´t look real.
- Lately, as seen on Dencity, some of the advisers deny involvement in the project, yet they are listed.
- There are obvious technical flaws that make the project impossible or very difficult. Not just barriers to overcome, but things that are really impossible. For example, if a network is frequently overloaded, it is unlikely that you will be able to make instant payments with low fees.
- Unrealistic market caps, no soft or hard cap.

I think my point is clear. There are Bright Reds and things that need to be addressed.

that is a very nice and helpful website to avoiding joining campaign or investing to the wrong ICO.
I usually rate the ICO from their support, if their support has a very active admin and they can answer all the ICO related question. I'm sure that will be a good ICO

In the first full week after the New Year holiday, pent-up supply is releasing a flood of ICOs, relative to the past three weeks, albeit with tempered expectations. Among the sales and presales set to open this week, there remain some truly crazy hard caps: 65 million USD for “Knowledge,” a kind of Quora-meets-influencer-marketing, for example
My picks aren’t investment advice; you should consult an adviser and do your own research before making a decision

Seele seems to have more and more red flags since scam through their telegram and
Whitelist cancelled ones. Perhaps, people are too excited to seek for the flaws instead of its achievements.

Thanks. Severity low and medium can be considered as yellow flags that can be usually managed and solved by the team.
