Do I need to be in favor of the company I am advertising?

[0xBitcoins]

For example, if I wear a signature of a gambling house, do I need to talk in terms of supporting them while I compose posts?

How about campaign managers' and campaign owners' stand on this?

No, not at all, and that would probably be seen as shilling, which is not well seen, and pretty close to, if not, spam.

Probably most people do not know fully well what's really on their signature, and talking about it could even go against them (i.e. saying a lot of conceptual uncertainties).

You'll be able to post on any topic or board, but likely the campaign will delimit those boards where it will count your posts.

You don't need to, and trust me when I say it's going to be obvious if you're going to positively talk about the company just because you have them on your signature.

With that said, It'd probably be a great idea to join a campaign of a company/service that actually goes with your personal morals and ethics. Not like this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5286822

No, the Campaign Owner and the campaign manager don't ask to do this. They just brought your signature space +- avatar space to show their ads. You no need to shilling them everywhere, like ''good project'' ''promising project'' ''worth of investment'' etc. If you want to make some review about any project you can, the owner or the manager will not force you to do that. But some cases manager ask participants to make some constructive discussions with experience and suggestions on their ann thread (not mandatory) so that they can improve their project according to users opinion.

No, you don't need because mostly

Signature team > campaign manager > participants

This is the common happens.
But if you have some issue regarding with their website for example withdraw or deposit trouble

Most of them you can approach on their announcement board
Participants > Signature team

No, you don't need to be in favor. As a campaign manager, I never encourage my participants to do that. This would consider as a hard shill and probably moderators will delete such as post if someone report.

Sometimes project owners ask something like that who aren't familiar with the forum. So I just simply explained to them that, your banner and advertisement are visible on every post where participants making a post. So writing about your platform on the post really not necessary and it would hurt your reputation. So they understand my explanation. But if you talk on their ANN thread regarding their project it would be fine IMO, but no one should force for that either manager or the team.

You shouldn't have to be in the favour of the company/service you are promoting.

You can help in the growth by doing your job better than before or any other person and make their name to be renowned here but if you are going to support them when they are not in the right side then it is going to cause you some reputational issues.

I sorta disagree. I think that just wearing a signature for a company that has ripped off it's customers, even if you've denounced said company after the fact, still bears some of the responsibility of what that company did to their customers.

If Chipmixer were to go bust tomorrow, I know i would feel at least partially responsible considering my role of promoting them, even if i've stated the risk of using them multiple times, if that makes sense.

[joniboini]

At least you should not dish them out openly as if they don't pay you at all. If you have any complaints and critiques then it's okay, or better yet, tell them in private. Ranting and saying F-word and openly disagreeing with them continuously will always make you lose that advertising deal.

It will also affect your reputation, at least to some point.

We may feel responsible and if there is any way to resolve the issues of a customer is highly appreciated and that is the right thing to do as well but if a company blatantly stealing people money and we are going to say they are doing it right is what shouldn't be done.

Basically Asslicking behaviour for the money shouldn't be practiced.

Owners of the project don't care what participants are posting, they need results. They are just looking for clicks/ potential clients. And the potential client doesn't want to invest in any of those projects which are asking users to make positive comments about their project. A very legit project doesn't ask its hunters to make positive comments, just do whatever you doing normally. Take it as you aren't using any signature.

normally users don't do this, they just need you to post on gambling subforum.

but yes you are hired to shill.   i have seen users doing it to the point of creating threads about it. its not against the rules of the campaigns.
while the campaign manager nor the casino didn't tell you to talk about them in the post you are to make, they surely want someone who will do that. but you doing it will be like kissing asses.  

[Maestro75]

Writing and talking about positive things about the company you are advertising will be like kissing asses. But I have not seen anyone who talks bad about a company they are promoting here because doong that will be going against your pay master. I believe once you wear a company's campaign logo it simply means you support whatever product the company is advertising.

[Coyster]

Of course you can't talk about the company you're advertising in every post you make, except you're making spam posts; the only time you would prolly have something to say about the company is either in the ANN thread or maybe on the reputation board, if another user creates a thread about the company you advertise for, prolly accusing them of one thing or another, and mind you that in a case of the latter, you should only support the company if you have checked the accusations and you're very sure they aren't true.

Having said that, other than any of the above scenario, just discuss about bitcoin or any other topic that you come across; and in the first place, that's why you should be here.

This is actually usually wrong. No credible manager would expect participants to squeeze their brand into every discussion no matter how unrelated the topic is and there's only so many threads someone can make about a particular topic without being an obvious spam. Managers rather want users who contribute constructively while staying on-topic, their replies gets read more as other members expect quality from them and by extension the company is promoted.

Some brands favour spamming over actual organic advertisements and these are the ones who would require one to make threads about them or fix their link into every reply.
