Yobit spam on the forum

[Natalim]

The discussion was only focus on the signature and not on its members.

From the look of things we also did forcus on the members that's why those that had one good report against them as spammers were banned by theymos. If we did only forcus on the campaign then only the signature would had been banned and not spammers promoting the campaign too. Everyone was held responsible for their actions.

I get your point, but maybe my reply was not so comprehensive, in my mind I was thinking about the recent observation that some members can still wear yobit signature. The yobit spam discussion was already solved, some members were already ban, so I don't think of it anymore, it's only sig appearance that bothers me.

I'm late to the conversation- but I'm pretty disappointed this ban took place. Signatures have always been a topic of controversy and I've always been a strong proponent. I think that the world is shifting to a global, digital economy that crypto will be the backbone of. Micro-jobs like sig campaigns are laying the foundation and connecting individuals in third world and developing countries to legitimate earning incentives. The calm before the storm, if you will.

I'll leave my opinion on Yobit aside, but I don't think it's a sound precedent to outright ban particular campaigns or signatures. It could have been handled on an individual basis, with spammers being banned. I get that it's more hassle that way but last I checked this forum has no shortage of resources. Fingers crossed this doesn't lead to more signature or discussion bans in the future.

Theymos did not ban all the signature campaign and you can still participate on it including yobit but after 2 months from the ban for this one.
It is the fault of yobit, they should hired a manager or at least selected/limited the number of eligible participants.
@safar1980 : lock the topic, it is already solved.

The question is will there be some legit campaign manager who will accept their sig campaign? Maybe most of this campaign managers will be hesitant as to whatever may happen to their service.

In the first place have you also wonder why they haven't done it since the beginning? very shaddy isn't it?

There's a lot of manager will be willing to accept, remember we also have a lot of managers here who red trust and still running a campaign, so most likely they will be okay. It's only the spamming here that needs to be solve, if the manager can solve it, then yobit will continue its privilege to run a signature campaign in the forum.

I'm sure a if ever they can hire a legit manager, maybe the the maximum will be reduce or it could be on a weekly basis.
Like Hhampuz rules, 55 to 60 a week, that's more than half lower than the max post of yobit with the old rule.

They did not hire a manager because they could do the control automatically. Since they cared little about what would be written by the users. I still believe that if they were willing to make a serious campaign, several managers would accept the job.But their purpose is different. It is not a job to strengthen their brand. It's an SEO job. Increase the ranking in the searches and appear in all corners of the forum.

This is exactly what the Signature Campaign Guidelines warn for. It's not the forum's job to look after a signature campaign, they should have hired someone to do this.
Banning their signature is a punishment to YoBit, and sets an example for others. I think this is exactly what this forum needed

That's why I suggested Atriz to apply: his reputation is red already, but he is a good campaign manager.

I completely agree, I only wish it was a permanent global ban for anything Yobit until they address the multitude of scam accusations against them by 100's of forum users which they have completely ignored since day one. No legit campaign manager in their right mind would touch Yobit unless they want their reputation ruined - they are toxic scammers that this forum & crypto in general is better off without.

[Natalim]

Timely bump.

I'm just curious, Is yobit signature ban will end today or tomorrow?

Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.

Just thinking if the ban is over people will again register for the sig camp..

Regardless of when the ban expires, it is not clear if Yobit signature campaign is still ON, and I did not notice that anyone is get e-mail from them like last time. In addition, it makes no sense for YoBit to continue with such campaign, how long it would last this time?

In case the situation is repeated, YoBit could get perma-ban on this forum, and users who promote them more then just two month sig ban.

Has it already started? Saw this guy shitposting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=851885     jerald125

Yobit sig. No posts at all since May 05, 2019 then makes 33 shitposts today.

If the spam just starts up again as if nothing happened then their signatures should just be permanently blacklisted as they clearly don't care about the situation here.

Yup, looks like the yobit signature ban is over. Interestingly though, jerald25 and Quickseller are the only two people i've seen posting with a yobit signature yet. Are they actually getting paid?

I'm not so sure, but this seems like it hasn't been updated at all, https://yobit.net/en/signature/details/ so whether yobit actually changed anything/will change anything is also doubtful.

Anyways, it looks like jerald25 is enjoying life and the "generosity" of yobit to the fullest looking at his recent posts. Good gracious, he's unstoppable.

So who wants to test to see what happens? 

Seriously, w/o any guidance from above it's going to be interesting to see what happens.

No clue, I saw who I presume to be jerald25 with a yobit signature, and decided to investigate if their campaign is still open, and it turns out it is.

Hopefully this time around, they will do a better job of policing their campaign.

Interesting... im gonna try adding my sig back.... but... might end up leaving the campaign if i can find another that better suits me.....   I did notice on their webpage they lowered pay from .0003 to .0002.   Not surprising.

*edit* ill be a guinea pig.    The yobit.net/en/signature page still shows inactive, but I haven't posted anywhere yet since the sig was added, i'm gonna keep an eye on it.   The other real test will be, will the payment wallet ever be topped up?

The price of bitcoin has roughly doubled in that time, so it more than evens out.

If you will make enough posts, it is the highest paying campaign, except for chipmixer. They won’t have the same problem Stake had in that their rates only attracted spammers. They just need to be sure to keep the spammers out.

This is the only reason I have stuck with their campaign.    I dont even know if theres a thread to re-sign up or if I am still on the list..... it's all guesswork from this point on.... 

But then again, that's how its always been with yobit no?

Good luck keeping your signature going. You read the terms, correct?

Users with negative feedback from defaulttrust members are no longer permitted on the campaign. If you sign up you will be removed.

With 17 negative feedbacks from DT members and a yellow flag, we shall see how many posts you can squeeze in before they boot you. Knowing how Yobit operates, you may last for quite some time.  

[fortunecrypto]

This is surprising that some able to get in again I used to be on their campaign that was over four years ago checking the link to their signature page and asking some of my friends, they have disabled it for inactivity, I'm not even trying to wear that signature because of the so many bad reports, but if they will have an active manager here, mods might allow them to promote.

I am seeing few people started wearing the yobit signatures again. Is anyone wearing the Signature is being paid too ?
If so, we might see another flood of spam coming in. Better to stop the flood before it gets out of control.
