What do you mean by promoting them. Because we are not convincing your or saying you anything to join us in our posts. We just wear signature and avatar just to advertise them. Nobody could ask you to say join us join us until you have asked by yourself. For example, now you created this topic, you will not find a single person say hey join our gambling site we will make your money double or any other service.

Instead you will find many ranked, respected members of this platform will provide there useful insight in there posts from which you can get benefit. If you don't like the answer or didn't understand it you could show your feelings and then can learn from their replies. I hope you got my point.

The problem with you is not you're looking around and you judged us and this forum, we have a lot of discussions about technology and everything that evolves around Cryptocurrency, instead you targeted the promoters and what they promote we don't see anything wrong with that we are not promoting scam platforms, and its the choice of visitors if they want to join and use the projects that we're promoting in our signature.

The forum is still the best place to find anything and everything about Cryptocurrency, you have an issue if you fail and miss seeing this, you're not looking at the forum in the right way.

Is there a signature campaign promoting something other than mixers, casinos, altcoins that seems useful? If it is, and even if the return from it is low, I expect that more people will try to join it, but gambling campaigns, mixers, and casinos almost represent about 90% of the active campaigns that pay in bitcoins, and you rarely find different campaigns, but the campaigns do not force users to do a specific thing, for example Do not force them to promote their services within the posts or modify the style of participation in line with the campaign.

What's wrong in promoting Bitcoin mixers, betting or casino? Does it reduce my person or the quality of my post? Wearing a signature is a way of promoting and creating exposure of the brand one is putting on, so it does affect the person or his posts in anyway. They forum is a very large place and people post on different boards they think they can make contributions or comfortable in. If you are here to learn about technology, you can ask forum members for assistance and guidance in the areas you need help and not to be complaining about signatures.

We have another expert who joined forum few days ago and he already knows how advertisement in forum works.  
Don't forget to send official complain to youtube, google and all other platforms for promoting bunch of crap all the time that have nothing to do with content or videos you are watching.
Almost everything in bitcointalk forum is related with bitcoin, so it's only natural to see crypto companies promoting here, and some of them are doing it for years.

I am surprised that you went through the forum and the only thing that got your attention is advertisements. This is a sign that you are not here to learn but to find fault and criticize. If you search the boards and sections of the forum you will find many interesting posts that can expand your frontier of crypto knowledge. If you want to access current and valid information about Bitcoin and others, this forum is one of the best in the world. I will suggest you forsake your current mentality and open your mind to learning. You also have the privileges of starting discussions on the area you find interesting and I am sure you will get the needed response. I don't also think that there is anything wrong with advertising mixers, casinos, exchanges, and other services because they are not illegal services.

Well, you can ignore those boards if you don't like them. You can ignore the entire economy section, so you don't see gambling or mixer-related threads. If you are a Bitcoin geek and interested only in technical things, your future is bright, mate. Consider exploring Development & Technical Discussion and Bitcoin Technical Support board. You might find those boards interesting.

To be honest, I have tried to be active on those boards. But due to my limited knowledge of technology, I could not participate much there. Sometimes I do not understand what they are talking about.

[Porfirii]

Back in 2017, OP would complaint about ICOs. In five years, he will complaint about what raises more interest among criptocurrency users. Typical black or white mentality.

People see only what they want to see. In the case of our new friend, it seems that he prefers to focus on the fact that there are some campaigns running in the forum, rather than in the fact that there is no better place (at least I don't know any) to discuss about Bitcoin's technical development or simply economical implications of the criptocurrency.

In addition, here scammers are rapidly flagged, so this is one of the few safe environments in the Internet for newbies to talk about Bitcoin or cryptos. Please, prove me wrong otherwise.

Does any of these changes the standard or the forum's reputation, moderation or it's main purpose of creation? have you reason the numbers of those participating in one of those campaigns and the numbers of users not in any form of promotional signature campaign.

So what exactly brought you here if i may ask, is it to join others in such promotion or to face what you are really here for which should be nothing other than bitcoin discussions.

I can see nothing wrong with that and these Bitcoin mixers, gambling websites, casinos, etc. which are being promoted here in the forum are trusted since they have a reputation here in the forum so you don't need to worry about that, I mean scam gambling websites and mixers are not allowed here and being tag here in the forum. If you look a closer look at the running signature campaigns here in the forum you could notice that most of them are gambling websites and mixers, I can see nothing wrong with that I mean most of the discussions or threads here include something like betting so there are going to be involvements on this kind of websites.

I mean this is still a forum, and there is probably the best Bitcoin or cryptocurrency forum where you could join in order to learn and get a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency that's for sure, I wouldn't mind seeing this advertisements or signature, as long as I learn a lot of information and gain a lot of knowledge here in the forum. Besides signature can also be part-time since they pay you as well for promoting so your learning and earning at the same time.

It's actually added in the profile attribute, not included in their post content. If you are bothered by that display, I suggest you change some settings (I don't know if these settings are available for low rank users):
Go to Look and Layout Preferences > enable "Don't show users' avatars." and "Don't show users' signatures."

Problem solved.

An intelligent person would certainly do just that if they are so bothered by advertisements/signatures, and those who present themselves on the forum as atheists fascinated by Christianity, and in addition try to promote some kind of personal cults, are not worth anyone's time, and even less merits.

There are many boards on this forum where different discussions are ongoing, discussions have not stopped because members of the forum are promoting mixers, casinos, exchanges etc. You just joined this forum, so you have no idea of how the forum has been, you are not in a position to judge. And according to your forum rank, you will not yet be accepted to any campaign if you apply, so I will be looking out for your profile for the time when you will be eligible for application to see if you will apply then for it, or choose to remain the way you are.

[Merit.s]

Those forum members promoting mixers and casinos have contributed a lot to the forum in various boards of their interest positively. That's why you see that they could get to that rank whereby,you are free to put on any avatar and signature of their choice. Bitcoin mixer is still about bitcoin and the casinos uses cryptocurrency in their gambling site. So you can see that we are still on the same page with the forum purpose. If you want to discuss on bitcoin or the technical aspect of it,we have those boards there. Visit them and you will be surprised with the replies that you will get from any question that you ask. This is the biggest crypto and bitcoin community you can think of.

how can you think that what the majority of members are doing here is a mistake ^{(because of promoting bitcoin mixers and casinos)}, instead you should be grateful that there are lots of bitcoin mixers and casinos promoting their business in this forum.  alluding to technology, well all technology is discussed in this forum, not only blockchain and bitcoin technology but also cars, virtual reality and even quantum computers ^{(you just have to type it in the search button then you will find everything discussed in this forum)}

you'll find a lot of that here or use the search feature to find the specific topic that you want to read, but if you want a more focused discussion about that, you can visit Development & Technical Discussion and Bitcoin Technical Support as Learn Bitcoin has mentioned in his post. you can also start a discussion(create a thread just like this one) about topics that you are interested in.

Are those platforms you mentioned related to Bitcoin, are the platform making use of Bitcoin? Yes they're so I don't see any problem with them advertising on the forum. The number of participants is more than 50% but there's nothing wrong in that because the services that they're advertising isn't a scam and users aren't been forced to use the platforms (mixers or casino). The advertisement aren't tied to bitcointalk (like bitcointalk doesn't endorse the signature campaign so they have nothing to do with the forum, they're just advertisment and since they're causing no harm, we shouldn't be concerned). We have many discussion on Bitcoin and the signature campaign aren't reducing topics engagement but rather increasing topic engagement.

We still have other services advertising on the forum like exchanges and we also had wallets advertising at some point so everything is been covered. We have more of mixers and casinos because they found out that they have a market on the forum. And there isn't much advertisement platforms that'll welcome them especially mixers. Exchange and wallets won't get enough support because they're centralized and the forum ideology doesn't welcome centralized exchanges or wallets but the forum has nothing against casino been centralized since the decentralized ones can't be trusted. Provided active members aren't promoting scam they have committed no offense.

Yes, this forum is one of the media for promoting new projects, not only related to the project but also various new altcoins projects covering several fields. But in my opinion, there is nothing strange about this, especially mixers projects, casinos, games, and several of these platforms are legit and not cams at all, so this is not a problem. What is a problem is promoting projects or platforms that are scams or potential scams. What's more, sometimes promotions from these platforms are not directly related to the platform, but discuss cryptocurrency as a whole, while they promote it through signature banners and avatars. Nothing strange about this, right?

I dont know the problem you are having with marketing Bitcoin mixer, betting or casino. their are different sections on the forum here, and you can visit any section depending on what you are planning to learn about. If you want to learn about the technical aspect of bitcoin, then their is a section for that, but you cant visit beginners and help and you want people to be talking about techical aspect of bitcoin. If you want to see discussion about technical aspect of bitcoin, then you should visit the appropriate board for that.

Is like you don't know that everything here has section where you can write about anything you feel like. For the fact that people are promoting casinos, mixers and whatsoever does not means that they are doing the wrong thing or what you don't expect. This is a community and you are allowed to join and promote any project that you want as far as it's not a scam. I don't know whether you are trying to criticize the senior active accounts here in the forum that are promoting whatsoever project they like or not but the way you expressed yourself looks somehow derogatory.

Good suggestion!

In addition, OP, if you are kind of annoyed with all the discussions about anything else outside the Bitcoin technology, then don't go to sections and boards where topics such as basketball or boxing or bounties or trading or even politics are discussed.

If this isn't enough, then, like noorman0, I suggest that you try changing some settings yourself. Manually ignore the boards you don't wish to explore. I'm also not sure if this is available to newbies, but try to go to your profile, proceed to Modify Profile, and click on Ignore Boards Preferences. You can even ignore all of them except Development & Technical Discussion, Mining, Bitcoin Technical Support, and Project Development.

This forum will be a paradise this way. No signatures shown, no avatars, no discussions outside the Bitcoin technology.
