Don't read it if you get offended easily.

Don't think the problem is rank but spam maybe and as we talk about spam,last days we can see many sr.member and even higher rank, users were banned becouse of spam in forum when they were wearing yobit signatures and making over 20 post in a day as i remember so do your work but dont spam.

You are talking about last 2 weeks, when yobit entered, actually in this matter, mostly negative trust members are joined yobit, and yobit accepted them, that's why yobit and negative trust accounts were banned.
In signature campaigns all negative trust accounts are not working, because they all are scammer.
However If rank is not matter then definitely trust will be matter, we can't trust in member who has negative trust, then doesn't matter that he/she is newbie or Sir. member.

Nope, that wasn't the case, you should understand though, not all red tagged users are scammers. Some are just victims of misunderstanding how the rules work over here, e.g no promotion of Ponzi or projects with scam accusation or no account farming. That's why theymos have say it time without number, "Do not rely on the trust system, always carryout individual research before trading with a green or red tagged individual".

Yobit's signature campaign and their participants were banned because of spam. Although not all participants of the campaign were banned anyways, only those that did get one good report against them for spamming the forum irrespective of their trust scores. Also the campaign ads got banned because it was encouraging spammers through paying them to spam the forum not because of any shady business of theirs that doesn't relate to the forum.

In this forum, we make us habit, that we trust only those members who have great position, good trust and one thing is newly and that is Merit, then we trust him. Personally i think we do it right, because why we trust on newbie member? Even you will also not trust any newbie.   

Although the forum rank has a bearing on trust, you cannot conclude that all newbies are untrusted and scammers. There are actually newbies trying to contribute and help the forum on their own way, just as like what we did before when we first started.

The problem revolves not on the forum rank per se, but on the post history where they spam threads and create meaningless threads just to fullfil their bounty obligations. That is where most of the hate comes from and not on newbies, in general. It just so happened that most newbies and jr. members participate on bounties.

I am pretty sure that if high ranking members did the same way, they would also receive the same treatment.

I think thisbis the part for a newbie in which they have just to accept it. The higher ranking members are free to criticize whoever they want at the same time since they too when they are at your rank have been treated the same way. Think of it like the rookies being hazed by veterans in sports, rookies are treated worse but they know they'll have their time to do the same. It might not be your ideal welcoming in the forum but I think its their way of telling you to be better in the forum.

The are not only pinpointing the newbies other users are affected but if logic is anything to go by newbies are new to this forum and mostly don't know much about bounties and which is shitty or substantial

[khaled0111]

I think this is a phony problem as ranks mean nothing and do not reflect the real potential of a given user.
When reading replies, I don't focus on whom wrote it as it does not make any difference.

There is nothing wrong in joining bounty campaigns, even mods rent their signature space to make an extra income.

[CryptoMobster]

I am not here to criticize anyone or bash them for being honest and doing what they are actually here for. I have been seeing a lot of post by senior members criticizing newbies for taking part in  bounty campaigns or airdrops. Lets get real here, eventually we all are here to earn somehow, through our respective ways of course so what's the point of pinpointing newbies? if they are doing it after doing proper research good for them and even if they are not doing it with some research and get to know that it's some scam that's even better for them because this is how some people learn. Accept their ways and most importantly respect them as well.  No offence.

The problem is, plenty of people on here, and myself included are sick and tired of the same old on here. We want something new. All we see is newbies who pop up and think they're gods gift because they have bought crypto at the right time. But then you get the serial scammers who build up multiple accounts and try to manipulate the system. The crypto industry in bounties and airdrops is majorly flawed and all we try to do as a community it to protect others.

I'm just being honest and yes as much as you saying that people need to learn, but also people need to be made self-aware of the pitfalls in this industry.

I've got friends who have lost so much money from trusting rewards and giveaways. Really not worth it unless it comes from a legitimate source; Blockchain.com, Coinbase or BAT rewards etc.

This is not true sir, but probably most are here for this.
Problems with bounty or air drops are huge, but biggest of them all is people actually not earning anything from this great opportunities .
Many senior members try to warn them and save them their time.

Earning here is just an extra, not really the main thing.
This forum is popular because it provides good information that are very useful especially for the newbies.
I make money from bounty and from signature campaign and for me it's a privilege, I'm promoted to Hero Member because I'm loyal to this forum.

[TheBeardedBaby]

The spammers are not the only one to blame.
Bounty managers have also part in turning the regular users into spammers/shitposters.
You can't have minimum post requirement like 20/30 posts per week. This rule just push you to post any kind of shit to get your stake for the week, if you have nothing to post about. C'mon this does more damage than to make a good expose to a project.
I love DarkStar_'s rules in our campaign that you can have even 0 posts, it's freedom, you just have a natural life in the forum without being pushed (of course if you are not greedy) to post and the income from the campaign is just a side effect, not the main purpose to be here.

That's just greed, you must be talking about those scam ETH giveways on twitter. I strongly believe only greedy fools with mindset of earning quick & free money (Ponzi scheme business) fall for those type of Scam. From the name give-way they're supposed to understand it's meant to be free if it's truely a giveways and anything that involves putting xx amount of coins to get xxx amount in return is just pure Ponzi which means scam and should be avoided. Good they learnt their lesson though.

No we are talking about legitmate coins getting their websites cloned and added onto airdrops.io with a GoogleForm asking for private keys. There not that stupid to fall for giveaway scams on Twitter. I'm talking about state of the art copying and email phishing on BIG PROJECTS.

Also. I know someone who got 5 BTC removed from their Trezor wallet. A legit upgrade came up, his computer was phished. Crazy huh.
