The Altcoin Shilling

[Casdinyard]

They shill too much the coin, upon checking it last day they rank at 999 and now they luckily rank at 926 in coinmarketcap

Good job then. They're damn good shiller.
But surely, their team won't stop there until they reach their target so better watch out.
However, let's don't be so sure about the rank in coinmarketcap, we never know if it's true or not as we all know CMC is just nothing but money.

Shilling what exactly? Will quit going around posting things about titan coin please? This is not 2017, whatever project is good enough will advertise itself, investors are now smarter don't expect them to start rushing to exchange to buy titan coin

yes, moreover the number of new tokens that ultimately have no value will make investors more careful in choosing investment assets. even many new tokens do not have liquidity, so many investors prefer to tokens or coins that already have a good volume so they have good potential.

Now, I would like to include the titan coin in my portfolio: $5K

My strategy is to sell 50% eth coins and invest in TTN Coin.

This friend wants to withdraw $5k from eth and invest it in ttn. We are talking about such a project that the price will increase by 500% with this amount. lol. When you deposit $5k, ttn will provide 5x instantly. But there is no one to sell from this price.

I agree, shills are soo yesterday. Good projects will sell themselves. However they must first become noticed. Thats where the problems are, how do you get your project noticed?
also, many people in crypto will ignore a project even if it was way better than the projects they follow. How do you get those poeple to go and take a look at another project that is way better and may solve the problems that another project they might be invested in suffers from?
These are problems i have been seeing. People seem to dig in and even go on the attack against projects that come along further down the line that are a better option. Crypto is about tech and the tech gets better all the time. Problems get solved like scalability, blockages on blockchains ect. But, people will dig their heels in and won't be told theres a better option now. Makes zero sense to me.

I had no idea about this Titan coin and another guy's CAN coin! But because of their continuous shill, now I have some knowledge about these coins, so, their shilling forced me to research about those coins and now I can say they are shit and worthless even to research! No one gonna buy their shills coin, when it's time to buy BTC, ETH, LTC and so on! But they have done it so many times in such a short time which is pure shill and spam! So, according to the rules, they may get limited or parma ban very soon!

Posts quality really good but sadly they have lack of knowledge about promoting something! These people don't care about the forum rules otherwise some people won't shill after getting red trust! I think this guy is paid by that coin's team member, and he should get mute for a while!

The question is, can we really stop people from shilling, I think it's hard to do that as it's not against the rules (correct me if I am wrong).

If you are shilling for a scam, then it is obviously against the rules. I am not doing a good digging as far as this Titan Coin is concerned but if the coin is not a scam, then shilling for it is all right for as long as it does not go as far as it is annoying and off topic. Shilling is just another term for promoting or marketing, although it has a little bit dirty connotation.  

I think it still depends on the quality of the post before it can be considered as violation of the forum rules. If the the two shill accounts mentioned in the OP merely posted links of the titan website and no other contribution, it will be deleted for being low value. If they posted some referral link or phishing site, that's also a violation.

Not just the quality of the post. If the post is highly informative and even very detailed in its presentation but the content is all about the promotion of a scam or a ponzi, it will have to be taken down.

"Scam coin" is also subjective here. If you visit the scam accusation board, you can see plenty of ponzi schemes and projects with fake team or plagiarized whitepaper being flagged/tagged by the community but their ANNS aren't being deleted by mods.

There must be objective and exact parameters when calling a coin scam. Sadly, though, in this forum, scam is not moderated nor regulated. There is no one who is assigned to scrutinize every single project coming in whether or not it is a scam. And, yes, scam is now a word which is fast becoming subjective, when it should not be.
