Hello BitcoinTalk & Member Masulum.
We have had the opportunity of being notified of this post by a member. Though this post seems to not have been brought to our attention directly.
First, we would like to thank those who are contributing to ensure that the engagement on BitcoinTalk and the content being shared are safe and protected. Creating a safe environment that can be appreciated by the members here on BitcoinTalk.
In addressing
a) the virus scan; we would like to express the common knowledge that when scanning a webpage that gathers reports of over
'70' different virus defense provides that the result of there being a false-positives is one that is possible - at times even likely.
To be clear, the 'malicious' 1 flag, out of 70 green checks, was given to the service of
LinkTree, not of any services owned by
Decracy.
Though for the sake of also sharing that we do give detailed attention on all third-party services that we utilize, in verifying that they are of caliber, and of safe convenience for our members, I share with you public articles that show the likes of
Expedia,
Wix,
Red Bull, and countless globally-acclaimed public figures who currently, and safely, utilize the service of 'LinkTree'.
LinkTree Article.
A false-positive report was drafted and sent to
'CRDF Labs', by our team, which is the provider that flagged the service of 'LinkTree'. To place in perspective, we would like to state that the most trusted virus defense providers such as
Google, Avira, Kaspersky, BitDefender, ESET, Tencent, Opera, + all marked, passed, and verified the same service provider to be safe.
In hindsight, these are things that we fully believe should be considered when reporting links to be 'unsafe', which can sway others to think negatively of certain content or the poster of such content.
Addressing
b) the use of 'Bit.ly'; with our operations being on par with the operations of world corporations and entities, our goal, and the goal of our marketing team, is to uphold the most informed environment where we are in the position of better understanding our content, it's delivery, and its acceptance, within the environments that we share such content in. In this case, the same design was being utilized when we incorporated the use of Bit.ly links. It allows for a Grade A environment to be hosted where Decracy may better understand the click-through ratio, and how we may better improve Decracy's content so that it may better align with the interest of the users, in this case, BitcoinTalk users.
We hope that we have well clarified the points above.
Decracy
