Reputation, Scams & Phishing / Re: Guidelines for Scam Accusations In Crypto
« on: October 24, 2024, 09:03:57 AM »
It’s great to see a clear set of guidelines for identifying scams in the crypto world. Crypto can be a risky space, and having a structured approach to spot red flags is crucial. I agree that the most common warning signs like rug pulls, presales that vanish, and suspicious wallet distributions are key indicators to watch out for.
As for the conversation on whether to adapt templates from other forums, I think it makes sense to have a tailored format for Altcoinstalks. Each community has its own dynamics, and what works on Bitcointalk might not fit perfectly here. A specific format that reflects the unique characteristics of Altcoinstalks could help maintain the forum’s identity and standards.
I also appreciate the emphasis on distinguishing between individual scams and larger project frauds. It’s often not easy to tell, and a well-defined format could make it clearer for everyone, from beginners to experienced members. This would also help in preventing false accusations, which could damage legitimate projects and individual reputations alike. It’s all about finding a balance between caution and fairness!
