Red Tag is becoming Rampant in the Forum.

[UserU]

Not only on mycelium wallet, I have even seen it on blockchair.com. Just that the betting site did not have good reputation on this forum, the reason those advertising them are tagged for others to be warned of the risk involved if making use of the betting site.

Those are running ads through different agencies (likely Google Ads) so any ads, scam or not tend to come by.

Remember that 1xBit pays a shitton to feature their site.

I noticed that too, it gave an annoying popup when my mouse hovered over it. My initial thought was to stop posting links to Blockchair, but then I realized Google allows advertising for phishing sites too. People should really learn not to trust anything that's being advertised! Are there still people who believe things like "7 BTC welcome bonus" nowadays?
I'm all for warning newbies, but as Thomas Tusser wrote centuries ago: "A fool and his money are soon parted". And I don't think it will ever change.

Most tend to be naive. They most probably wouldn't have noticed 1xB being a scam before they lose their deposit/ winnings, start searching for the "1xB scam" on Google and discovering the thread on this forum.

A never-ending cycle.

The negative tag will only be visible to users coming from DT members, so if some DT members are abusing their power, I'm sure those who trusted them would realize and distrust them to maintain a fair trust system.

Yes, I also notice some of the members getting red-tagged for supporting a scam gambling site, I think that's just right as that will serve as a warning to the community, but the community also has to understand how to check the red-tagged as some are not valid, but then again, every DT may have a different opinion so one member could tag an account for the same reason, while some may not mind it.
