Hello! I just want to ask a simple question that what if the campaign does not pay their applicants? Well I know someone that was not paid by his campaign here, incase this thing happen to me too what should I do? Any advice?

What campaign are you talking about exactly?  Usually the campaign manager
will put a note in the spreadsheet about why someone didn't get paid, like for
not meeting the quota or shit posting.  If no one at all got paid, that's a different
story.  You should give some more details about your gripe here.

Some days ago i was in a campaign, they were supposed to pay eth tokens, and yes i did everything they ask but nothing increase in my eth wallet.

if only your friends are not paid. means a big mistake to him. so try to self-correct starting from post quality.

You must be careful what campaigns you support. Do not support those with dodgy intentions. It is hard to know and sometimes it can't be helped. I'm not sure how serious you want us to take this post but if you really need help you going to have to give us more information then that.

What kind of campaign?

By looking at your post history, you only have an application to CarTaxi on which currently you still wearing on it. If that is your point then don't just joined campaign but also read carefully what is this all about.

If that is an airdrop then wait for distribution and check always their ANN thread.

If they scammed you (and others) then create a thread in Scam Accusations. If they just didn't pay you because you didn't meet the criteria or were shitposting then just suck it up (or open a thread in Reputation if you want to question the reasoning behind withholding payment).

Not all campaign, in my expirience yes there are some campaigns does not give any payment for my work but not all now i receive my 1month salary in hedge token and i almost selling it because exchanger is almost their.

What should you do if a campaign doesn't pay you? Move on. Post quality should be the main asset you'd be looking at if you want to join campaigns, but apparently some managers still pick some people who doesn't seem to care about what they're posting out there just to get paid. If you aren't paid for the week and you've broken the rules of the campaign for that round, they have the right to deny your payment and possibly kick you out of the campaign, that simple. If not, you can open a Scam Accusation thread against them and nothing more.

You said your friend did not receive his payments , well , this can be because :
He didn't write sufficient posts ( quantity and quality)
He didn't meet what company requires ( for example he wrote in out counted sections )
He put a wrong address ( for example eth tokens​ have a specific token-compatible wallet ).
Anyway each one who's​ involved in such compaigns must respect laws and rules to be qualified for payment .
In case the compaign doesn't pay all its applicants , it's difficult to recuperate wasted money and time , but I think it's rare to happen

You should have stated further details so we could advice you properly. Personally, I have never encountered a similar issue. But do not worry, they are really trustworthy and serious. You might have spammed or did not make a high-quality posts or perhaps you made all of your posts in the last 2 or 3 days before the deadline. Added to that, you can check out the spreadsheet given in the topic's description, you will find the reason as to why you did not get paid. Also, ask your friend to check it out. There was a time I did not get paid because I did not wear an avatar. So yeah.

To be honest, your own post quality is worse than his... His post quality seems alright compared to your average signature campaign participant, so I don't see why the campaign manager would refuse to pay him, but do pay others.
Maybe you should think before you post... It's really annoying having to read these crappy posts of you.

 Scam Accusations

" Scam report example:

What happened::
I saw escrow.ms's lolipop thread 4 days ago and placed a order for 1000 lolipops. After I sent him payment, he just went offline and never came back. I think he's a big liar and a scam artist. Stay away from him.

just do what I told you to "open Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0)"

It's better that you take some soothing pills that day ( on the day you open a Scam Accusations against someone ) because you will need it a lot.

What is this campaign? Just like what Slow death said that you are free to post an accusation thread to that campaign if you did posted and followed their rules but they never paid.


I thought it happened to you, then who's that someone that's never paid by his/her campaign? If the campaign owner doesn't have any plans of paying then just do what's recommended above. Actually this is the job of the campaign managers to secure our payments and if he is just hired without any funds it's his fault for not securing it.

Just like what everyone has ask here, what campaign are you referring to?

Usually once you joined a campaign, you have to read carefully the rules being laid out by the campaign managers. If for reasons that you have violated it, the manager has the right to refuse payment. For example a campaign says you have to reach 25 minimum post to got payment, however you just post <25 then you will not received a payment. Other manager have strict regulations regarding post bursting, so if the manager see that you are post bursting then they will refuse payment as well. Others looks for the quality of your post as well. If you do shit posting then that's another ground for payment refusal. So don't just joined a campaign without reading the rules and then complain on non-payment.

Maybe there's a reason why that campaign didn't pay your friend or he is the only that isn't paid? But if most of the participants aren't paid you should take action for it. Seek help from those people that are always on the scam accusations board for immediate action. And if you are worried that it will happen to you, then do your own research about that campaign / company if they are legit one before joining them.

Honestly, you are not going to be able to tell every scammer out from the legit sellers/campaign offers. The best way to prevent getting scammed in campaign forums (or getting scammed in the forums or in general) is to know about the person that you are dealing with. If they do not have much background or history whether it is in the forums or anywhere else, it is quite possible that you will get scammed. As for campaigns specifically, you should check out the thread made for that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0. Any campaign other than the ones under PNYC and the ones with asterisks should be relatively safe to join.

Post Non Payment on Campaign

There's 3 possible steps that you should do if ever you'll experienced it.

(1) Communicate first with the campaign manager. Ask him politely why haven't you receive your pay and if he/she said that there is an error on your part then forget, it's your own fault (check it as well if the error is legit). On the other hand, if he/she doesn't respond proceed with step 2  

(2) Use the scam accusations board like what other people suggested above this post. Still no reply on messages and on the accusation thread? Go on with step 3

(3) The most important thing , "Move on".


Pre - Joining on a Campaign

To avoid being scammed on a campaign:

(1) Check if the funds is held by a trusted escrow

(2) Join only to campaigns that is managed by trusted managers (take caution to newbies and even with the owner of the project)

Are you sure that its someone or your alt haven't been paid? You simply didn't follow rules that all. Move on and join other campaigns. There's a lot of campaign specially in the altcoin section. I have seen a lot of participants being not paid because its the fault of the manager, but most of them violates certain rules of that campaign. That's why you need to really improved your posts quality and posting habits before joining a certain campaign. And not cry for not paying you because if you really look at, its really your fault not the campaign manager.

I have joined a lot of campaigns and only one avatar campaign was not paid it did look fishy from the beginning still gave it a try, most of the campaigns escrow funds and if you are joining a good experienced manager's campaign the chance of you not being paid is close to 0 but if you are joining a new user's campaign you are taking the chances although I have joined many campaigns who had fresh campaign managers but still paid on time.

Take advices from preposters and make sure, that your wallet supports ETH tokens. Go into spreadsheet of campaign and have a look, how your posts are counted.

That's right we must seek advice from those legit posters so that you will be paid completely on the campaign that you belong with. Following the required wallet is a must those wallets that doesn't support ETH tokens will surely fail during distribution of campaign bounties. Well, if you look into the spreadsheet it doesn't matter how big or small your bounty is but the important is you are using the correct type of eth wallet address.

Well actually my friend is not the only one who doesn't receive his payment, as far as I know all of the participants on that campaign don't receive anything too on their wallet.

See there are 3 possible answers to your question.
1. If like only a few people are not paid , then the possible reason will be that he / she might not have completed the minimum amount of posts required to avail for payment.
2. Few Campaigns mention that if they don't raise certain amount of funds then they will not pay the participants .
3. If none of the above 2 options are valid then the final possible option left is that the Campaign might be a scam .

There is thing called as escrow. Most of the campaigns will hire a escrow and a manager who manages the campaign completely. The funds will be escrow to a trusted person who is having big experience in the market. You will surely get paid if you have completed the campaign by rules. In most of the time applicants are the one responsible for breaking of rules and stuff like that and hence they don't get paid. If not then you should ask other colleagues and the manager about it.

Maybe that member did not follow the rules of that campaign. I would advise that you if you are joining a campaign, always choose the campaign that is managed by a trusted member because even the funds isn't escrowed, they always pay the participants and never miss a single one.

Well usually campaign managers do not pay if you haven't made their post count or criteria. I don't how they can easily say this specially he/she didn't showed any evidence or whatsoever.
I've encountered one before and i'm not gonna drop name.
I'm pretty confident that I made the required post limit and didn't spam and also only post on the required sections but somehow they didn't pay us and simply just stated that none of us meet his required criteria. I feel like this person just scammed us and what's funny that when I'm checking the supposed website where he will put the payment (it's gambling site) - it's just suddenly goes down. Like the whole website is not accessible.
You should be also careful in joining campaigns and always check the credibility of the manager.

Well if the campaign payment in bitcoin (in huge amount) and the thread marker/manager is newbie or not trusted enough you can ask him politely about "are they use escrow or not".
but if the payment in they altcoin, no need to panic maybe it's just a shitcoin with bad start, you also can ask them about escrow if they will pay per month.

First to report them to the moderator or follow up your message many times to confront the problems sometimes campaign managers make mistakes so follow up or slowly inform  them . Second is to prevent something like this you must first  speculate the campaign managers background to ensure safety payments or even search for credentials so for us we need to identify the most trusted campaign managers like yahoo lauda lutpin ETC.  Just be vigilant and observant

You can open Scam Accusations !
But AFAIK, signature campaign with btc payrate always paid people on time and the campaign is not paid , mostly altcoin campaign !

Let say if there is new ICO launching signature campaign, if they decide to scam, they will just vanish and will not paid people's stake

When I look on the post history he did actually join a bounty campaign [BOUNTY][PRE-SALE] 🔥 MINGOCOIN.COM Signature Campaign 🔥  . Which he did able to mention about on the things that he provide but yet there were no bounties been given. If op is official being listed on the participants and there were no error or violations being committed but still he didn't able to receive such bounty then it would really be a shady act by the project for sure.Usually if a campaign doesn't pay up the deserved bounty on its participants would really have a corresponding negative rating with DT and theres nothing you can do with those coins because they wont really give such thing unless if its being settled already.

yes the must is post quality to be qualified for the payment in different campaign.. you should post more constructive during the campaign. Or ithink maybe the problem is the length of post?  I suggest if you want to join a campaign such as bounty and signature campaign read the rules first to avoid problems.

Yes, I think so because sometimes people will not follow the rules and regulations about the camapaign before participating in it. People will not follow those and complain about the campaign is not paying.

Usually campaigns are of weekly payment and you can know in a week whether the campaign pays or not. So try to avoid campaigns which pay monthly. If the campaign does not pay there is nothing much you could do to receive the payment but you could always report it to the modertors and give red flag to the manager. Other than this there is pretty much nothing you could do.

The first thing you need to be sure in is that you were accepted into campaign. Believe me, I met people on the forum who thought they in just after application into some signature campaign.
Second thing is to write to campaign manager a PM where you ask him directly or write in the campaign's thread all of your questions. The manager will explain you everything. Good luck!

i was a part of signature campaign who doesn't pay me at the end of payment date several years ago and indeed that was so annoying and from now on to ensure you will got paid untill end of signature campaign without any issue regarding this just pick signature campaign who have trustable manager and one more thing that the signature campaign funds should be held by trustable escrow too

there's one hell of a lot of campaigns around these days. there are enough reputable managers and escrows for people to be able to choose one with those people involved. i'd forget anything outside of that myself.

Join campaigns which are not managed by a bunch of spoiled kids trying to impose their feelings on the forum. There is always a manager who seems to always pay his participants, his campaigns are also filled very fast compared to the other managers. He is managing a lot of them so wait until he opens a new one and if it is available for your rank join him. Make sure to have good post quality otherwise don't even apply as you will be rejected.

Who is this manager, well do your research and you will find out easily in the Services section.

You should make sure that the fund is properly secured before you joined the campaign or  if it is handle by trusted and professional manager then its okay, dont joined before you make sure you get paid,nthere is nothing much can be done if you already got scammed, you only can report it scam accusation section, and ypu wont get any money back

LoL, such problem more likely will not ever be solved as long as you didn't mention anything but "didn't receive payment".
There are too many factors that may cause a half of participants didn't get paid, but the most important thing is; what kind of campaign? You should answer it before we discuss it any further. It's better if you mentioned at least 3-5 accounts which didn't get their payment.

it happen sometimes but the main reason why they didn't pay is that you didn't follow the rules of you did not meet the qualifying quota of the task assigned to you, it happened to me lately, about my twitter campaign for almost 1 month of twitter campaign , i receive nothing just because of the single character of "#" instead of "@" during registration and i was overlooked for that, and the rule was strict that it can't be undone once the token was distributed, lesson learned, always be mindful of all the rules that might cost you all the hardwork.

Yap it is in the discretion of the manager if a user would be paid or not. Usually for breaking the rules but their are really their users who are not payed accidentally and they just prove something to the manager and as possible it would be solved in simple matters. But if for some reason a campaign does not pay, they are entitled to be hotsitted by the forum with the integrity of their ICO or token.

Err.... I wish lol.

This is what you need to do. +1.

What campaign was it that you didn't get paid from? It was most likely an error on your part with either spamming, not reaching minimum quota for posts or posting in spam megathreads.

All bounty campaigns don’t pay you outrightly and most times you will have to wait few weeks until after the end of the ICO before you get your token. Also, using the wrong wallet may make you ending up not receiving anything at the end of the day. You need to have a token accessible wallet and MEW is always your best option. Except for this, it is either the ICO is a scam and you have done a free job for them or you just possibly did not follow one of their rules.

It is always advisable to join campaigns managed by trusted, reliable and dedicated managers,  and also  with that you are assured of a regular payment till the end of the campaign, you must also be a good poster, at times people violates the campaign rules may  be that is why he was not paid, contact the campaign manager to know the reason why you had not been paid to avoid future occurrence.

it depends on what campaign you are in.. my friends advise me ask me to join them in their campaign because it pay good money . alway ask somebody or ask a friend before joining a campaign .

If  you are accepted and have not received payment till the day of stated payment day. Then you disobey some rules and regulations of the campaign. Campaign managers are always reviewing the links of the profile who is accepted and if they are qualified they will be paid.
If a campaign will not Pay then it will not continue a good manager will always update the thread if there is an escrow fund that will be use for paying. Managers are always active of updating because if the campaign runs and then no pay they will be warned or ban by the moderator or admin of this forum.

-
I have not encounter this kind of situation. Campaign that is not paying.

There are always some little details that most people always miss out when joining campaigns which usually make them to end up doing a free job, and any serious campaign manager will not even be nice to ever consider you cause rules are rules. It is always best to go through rules and make sure they are instilled in one's head while on a campaign.

For bounty campaigns though, most people can do 40 campaigns at a goal ;D so please tell me how they want to know if there is any development or remember most of the rules in those campaign most especially for twitter and FB campaigns.

Thanks for this link, was searching for it before.
I checked the profile of the scammer you mentioned; the guy really have a lot bad reputation checking from his trust status.
Another way, I use to check for people authenticity here is their trust status, that can really say alot.

For every legit campaign, there is always a reason they normally bounce some of the participants and instead of them moving on and checking out for the mistakes they must have made and correct them in the future, they always end up crying wolf. Some would be caught for post bursting, spamming, short posts etc and I wonder why they would expect to get paid for wearing a sig campaign when absolutely no one will take their posts seriously.

You are right. Most people don’t even check up the campaign pretty well, most especially bounty campaigns to know the kind of project they are supporting. Some of them are scams and you also have to do your research pretty well before making a run for them.

Every campaign, most especially in BTC usually keep the funds with escrow or campaign manager, and it is always hard to come by any shitty one except you yourself weren't just serious in checking them out if you are not sure.

Ya, you can meet this problem on airdrop tokens? Bhaha. Maybe because of you or them, you do follow their requirements or not? Or you dont follow their rules (alt account, shit post,etc). I hate some airdrop and bounty of shit tokens. I only like twitter and telegram bounty. This is also my advice for your next times to choose campaign.
