Guests - Read Warnings on potential scam projects started by Neg Trust Users

[btcsmlcmnr]

Sometimes, forum guests might decide to create accounts here, so they might become Newbies. That's why I created this topic for Guests/ Newbies.

Admin has been kindful and open-hearted person, he actually read Meta to see suggestions of forum members, and maybe also read other boards.
Even theymos is the only one who are responsible to code and made improvements for the forum software, he actually listens to our suggestions. When he thinks suggestion is relevant and neccesary, he will spend his time to do improvements and upgrades.

Three months ago, our community raised a demand on adding new feature, that allows Guests [whom do not log in accounts] to see Trust.
Viewing TRUST when not logged in

Yesterday, theymos offically made it. I think we all should give him a round of applause for this new launched feature.

Logged-out users will now see a warning in trust-enabled sections if more DT members neg-trust the topic starter than positive-trust him.

This increases the responsibility of DT members not to give negative trust for stupid reasons, but only for things that cause you to believe that the person is a scammer.

This is a warning:

If you are a guest, whom simply drop by the forum to read, don't create account or actually have account but don't log in, and scan announcement topics to find potential projects for your portfolio. Please pay attention on OP's creators.
If you visit OPs, and see the Warning attached above, you should avoid those projects. They are highly potential scam projects, that start by scammers, whom get many Negative trusts.
Because you don't log in, you can not be able to see their Negative trust and feedbacks, but the Warning is enough for you to stay away from them.

Here is link to announcement topic of Bitcoin Crown: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3509873.0
Please click on the link and see how the Warning displayed.

The purpose of this warning is to warn guests, I do not think creating topics about it here will help.
Usually, guests come to visit the forum through Google, YouTube or social networking sites, they don’t have enough experience to explore all forum sections.
+ It creates visual distortion which is impossible to avoid reading (The same effect that made you read the word "guests").

Overall, thanks for trying to help.

I agreed with you, most of Guests visit the forum after they search about bitcoin or whatever altcoins through their web browsers, google search, ... Nevertheless, I guess after reading topics that search results lead them to, they might visit the Beginners & Help board to discover the topic.
By now, we have only one pinned topic (Newbies - Read before posting) (by Lauda), so what if we have the second pinned topic (not mine), such as:
Guests - Read before investing
Is it a good idea? I think it is only good for the forum because if the forum better help guests to avoid scam projects, the forum will have better reputation. It's good!


Make new topic like mine, and pin it at the top of Beginners & Help board.
