Re: Mixers to be banned

I am thinking that I will change the rules to allow:
- Unpaid linking directly to mixers in posts, as long as the mixers aren't also "illegal darknet sites" (which is a term I need to more exactly define).
- Easing the enforcement of indirection. For example, in the past we would not allow sig ads which point to an article talking about and linking to a mixer. But it's probably OK now if this kind of thing is allowed.

1. This seems necessary; at least, it should be allowed in Scam Accusations board.
2. What about ANN advertising/ sig ads without links? That would be a compromise since access to the mixer isn't directly through the forum.

1. In Scam Accusations board, discussions about illegal mixers running in the darkweb can't be excluded. Allowing unpaid linking can't be limited to one type but not another.
2. It shouldn't be allowed as well. ANN threads is also a kind of advertisement with official representatives of mixers. However unpaid links in user posts discussing mixers should be allowed with some ethical limits, because discussion should mean discussion not advertising.

Recently, a one mixer was seized, before that, there were a couple of complaints about it, where users reported delays or not receiving Bitcoin at all. We cannot know whether a more open discussion would help in these cases, but it is certainly necessary to discuss it freely. At least for prevention. However, it is not even possible to mention most mixers due to word filtering.

It has been discussed many times in this thread as well. I believe that no excuse is good enough for someone who lost money, and perhaps he could have received useful warning information here.
