Just got this in my email:

YoBit Signature Campaign

Dear YoBit Users!

YoBit Signature Campaign on Bitcointalk is updated and active again!

Please update your signatures!

Details: https://yobit.net/en/signature/details/

- Sr Member: 0.00012 BTC per constructive post (20 max per day).
- Hero Member: 0.00016 BTC per constructive post (20 max per day).
- Legendary Member: 0.00020 BTC per constructive post (20 max per day).

Sincerely yours,
Team of Yobit.Net

So 20 posts per day that's 140 a week.
No mention of campaign manager or anything else.
Going to be another crapshow or are people going to behave this time?

Anyone want to try it and see what happens?

Let's say you risk to sell your soul to promote a shady exchange, the last time the campaign was banned with the participants. If anyone is okay to risk their account then they are welcome. I wonder when did you get this email?

PS: I think it's a reputation board discussion.

Wait a sec... Weren't those the exact same (or at least really similar in max volume at least) terms (alongside the lack of a manager) that got them temporarily blacklisted the first time?

[Dabs]

What if you post 20 anyway, with or without a signature. Does the signature make your post any better or worse without it?

[hugeblack]

Are signature campaigns worth it? I don't know who runs the marketing section for that platform, but it seems like a fool.

This site manages the same scam to drive users to share spam -----> Make max posts on CryptoTalk.Org Forum until 1 november 2019 and win 1 btc!.
Bitcointalk account ----> @scat. Alt of Engg and more https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206112.msg17003685#msg17003685.

Will these accounts be banned if they are linked to this platform?

That's an extreme hypothetical and in no way applicable to Yobit. Last time they did this we saw hordes of long-dormant accounts wake up just to shitpost.

Sounds like it, and Yobit obviously doesn't learn anything from their many mistakes.  If only they'd apply some standards, it wouldn't be such a shit show.  They ran a campaign for years without a problem, but they way they did it last time was just awful.  They had way too many participants and allowed way too many posts--even though 20/day was what they've always allowed.  I get a feeling this isn't going to end well for whoever signs up this time around.

If you're talking about a hypothetical member who's already doing 20 posts per day, it wouldn't make a difference.  Unfortunately that isn't how this is going to go.  It's going to motivate a lot of otherwise inactive members to start making that many posts per day, and the forum is going to be flooded with low-value posts.  Just like last time.

Well, between you and me.. and maybe others, it wouldn't be that bad would it? How's your current signature paying? (chipmixer?)

Well, the problem would be all those inactive members, but in this hypothetical case, what if it were one of us good guys who do post anyway, that shouldn't be a stain on the individual.

Also, it says on their page, there are rules (no low quality posts), but I'm not sure how they will enforce that.

I think last time they let lower ranked people in. now it's only Sr and above so it might be better.
Could also just be my memory is wrong. Not sure

Does anyone have the list from last time? I think LoyceV or someone had the user-list of people with the sig.

Yes, the terms are the same like last time.

Theymos banning the Yobit campaign in 3......2......

[stompix]

Did they have this rule last time?

★ Personal Message must be set to CryptoTalk.Org - Get Paid for every Post!

They are pushing the limits a bit here, using bitcointalk to advertise their own forum.

Also, live from the trollbox:

etherbit61 L1: anybody knows about signature campaigns?
kastech L1: etherbit61, you need to be registered on Bitcointalk and have a lot of followers and posts... not something you can just suddenly decide to do to earn here

This sucks, I have zero followers here ...guess I'll have to pass.

Actually there were a few good accounts that didn't get banned.

It was a very low number but still. And the pay from them is actually not bad when you compare it to a lot of the campaigns on here (bitmixer had a similar style but I think they had someone moderating and could afford a lot more in pay)... Their support was awful though sometimes...

shady

With the "invest box", "rise-only market" and an "8 btc value coin" I think that's a bit of an understatement (the coin was only at 8btc for a couple of minutes but still)...

If Yobit would pay as much as Chipmixer they could just go ahead and hire DarkStar_ along with all recent Chipmixer applicants who didn't get accepted and it would be a great campaign.

But their pricing and limit of 20 posts per day indicates that they're going for quantity, not quality.

Also, it says on their page, there are rules (no low quality posts), but I'm not sure how they will enforce that.

I doubt they'll even try.

[actmyname]

(bitmixer had a similar style but I think they had someone moderating and could afford a lot more in pay)... Their support was awful though sometimes...

Bitmixer had the same problem until Lauda(?) stepped in. There was also something similar with hilariousandco handling a previously spam-heavy campaign, I believe.

[LTU_btc]

Oh shit, here we go again... Seems that they haven't learned from previous story. I don't see any changes from previous campaign, except personal text message. Well, if spam wave will repeat, I think we all know what's going to happen - theymos simply will ban their signatures permanently. So, Yobit is playing with fire now, because as I understand they don't have manager again.
Interesting, does users who been in their campaign previously, can join campaign again? If yes, brace yourselves, winter spammers is coming.

The signature itself also says "CryptoTalk.org MAKE POSTS AND EARN BTC!" and links to that site. So it's totally not a yobit campaign, everybody relax now /s

[Steamtyme]

Well here's a sign that they haven't learned anything as they aren't informing users of even the basic requirements to participate. I'm confused by this Brand new account then given the email states Sr. Member and above. Considering that was in the last round as well did they accept lower ranks?

registering, or trying to register my yobit account signature today. unable to input signature in profile. maybe there is probation time for new users before they can use that feature you suppose? thank you for any advice in advance.

Well, the problem would be all those inactive members, but in this hypothetical case, what if it were one of us good guys who do post anyway, that shouldn't be a stain on the individual.
Also, it says on their page, there are rules (no low quality posts), but I'm not sure how they will enforce that.

I believe last time you only got banned if you had at least one good report against you and were wearing the Yobit signature, so most participants got temp banned. I don't think it needs to be a stain on anyone's reputation for advertising a service, unless they continue to advertise the service after it's been proven to harm users, for example exit scams.

So when it apparently fired up again a month or so ago was that false. Didn't they advertise it on their website and then not pay users. I might have been wrong I didn't follow it to hard, and wasn't sure if anyone actually continued to wear the signature.

[LoyceMobile]

So, I guess we'll see them on top of http://loyce.club/active/ soon.

[TheBeardedBaby]

How can they be so moronic, this it probably the fourth time they try with this spam-storm requirements. I bearly reach 20 posts per week they are requiring 20 per day. I'll guess I'll be busy reporting the next few days.
