I see some adult-related projects on bitcointalk before and even have a signature campaign I guess as long as no NSFW content seen on signatures I guess that way is okay. Adult content projects has high chance of booming on this industry because anonymity is what crypro at its best. I doubt theymos would even allow such ads, the forum rules negates that.
They have an opportunity to market here but I'm just curious why I haven't seen them running a signature campaign here.
This thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5125345.0 was from Hhampuz but this does not push through for whatever reason.
Personally, I have no problem win promoting an adult site as long as it does not violate any rules of the forum.
Some campaigns run in the past, not too many, includes this one:
Eroiy.ioPersonally, I don't have issues with them, but as someone noted, what if those porn sites contain threats, that will compromise and steal your bitcoin, or altcoins? I don't think the forum can and should manage those hidden threats from third-party porn-sites. It takes time and not the things forum should spend money and resources to deal with.
There are some good points from @Baronets and @Hhampuz, and others.
I hope that Bitcoin Talk will continue to be suitable for viewing over public WiFi in restaurants.
....
lets keep Bitcoin Talk clean as Bitcoin esdtablishes itself even further in the future.
some people, for religious or other reasons, won't want to take part in the Campaign or perhaps not even display the Signatures and I can respect that. Just as with Gambling there will always be people that could feel that it is wrong but at this forum I think people are more understanding than in other ones.
The forum does not stop to promote adult content, the only requirement was the title must have "NSFW" marked and the following rules.
I have no problems with it, but you may want to consider following theymos' rule from Advertise on this forum - Round 272:
Ads may not link directly to any NSFW page
It's nice to get a NSFW-warning after accidentally clicking a link.
With both gambling and porn, there is an argument that both are harmful and unethical in various ways. I don't subscribe to the logic in making these arguments, however I do not find these arguments to be outright frivolous.
In addition to the suggestions of many above to make sure the signatures are not explicit, and to consider not linking directly to explicit material, I would suggest doing due diligence on the site itself. I would want to have confidence the site is not going to be spreading malware when visitors visit the site, nor when visitors try to download content, and does not have an excess amount of advertisements.
I do find it somewhat strange that a porn site would want to advertise here. I would not find bitcointalk the most effective venue to advertise on for this kind of business.
I have no problem with pornsites and those sites' advertisements in the forum.
I have only several worry about them:
- Pornsites are one of the most dangerous in aspect of potential threats for visitors, virures, malwares, trojans, and other threats to visitors.
So, if you make sure that sites you aggreed to advertise for them are good pornsites, it is totally welcome. By saying 'good', I meant they are safe, without threats.
- And, if sites have options to pay with crypto, it is amazing for porn-lovers. They can easily to pay for their favorite videos with crypto.
It is one of good way to spread crypto around and help it invading more into real life.
So people's will aware before click the link that they are going to visit porno/18+ website from signature.
