One has to recognise that being a Shill means;
an accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others.
Many Shills, on writing sites, are not aware they are Shills. They do not realise when they blast;
“I’ve always been Paid!!”
they are acting as an accomplice. They are an accomplice to the Scammer and they are enticing others to join the site, post. And, of course, be ripped off.
Further, their behaviour infers that the complaining ‘customer’ is a liar. By claiming they were always pays it suggests that the writer who complains is responsible for not being paid because, (grasping at straws) He Broke The Rules!
Why would any honest person, any person who doesn’t own a site, who has no power over who and what is published, dare to demean another person?
Dare to infer that the other writer, the one who wasn’t paid, Broke the Rules? How could they say that?
If I wrote an article, full of obscenities, it wouldn’t be published. The fact it wasn’t published would only be known to Admin. Certainly no average user could possibly know this.
So how could any honest person infer that I did something that would have broken the rules?
People do this every site. People who think they are decent, normal people, do this because they are selfish sheep who believe if they please Admin they are safe.
Everyone else can die.
This is why, although I was ‘always paid’ on Triond I never brought in any users. I never attacked anyone who complained.
I do not permit myself to be used. I do not Shill.
