Bitcoin Forum

Maybe this post doesn't belong here, but I couldn't find a better forum section for it anyway. One week ago my previous signature campaign Bonpay has finished. Everything was great with them for me, although some other members had troubles with their posts not considered to be constructive enough.
Since then I was applying to different campaigns (about 4 of them) and I was denied everywhere. I don't understand how my posts are worse, than the posts of those who were accepted. Am I missing something?
I would appreciate if you could take a look and tell me why am I regularly denied. Thanks!

I have a glanced at your previous posts and honestly I found your post quality is better than mine  :P

So, I'm also curious to know which signature campaigns that rejected you? Maybe they have some rules than they think you can't meet?

I was rejected by Graft,Veritas and Bitlogic. I really don't know why.. Only in Veritas there was a specific rule to explore the forum, not just write in Altcoin and Bitcoin section, whereas I am mostly writing in Altcoins. But I am really interested in them! I made some successful investments, tried trading, I explore new ICOs... I think that my posts are rather fine.
Surely, there is a problem that a long time ago Lauda added me to smas (I admit, at that time I did some big mistakes like post bursting) and so now perhaps even those managers who don't mention smas still take a look whether a person is there and deny participance in their campaigns...
It is very nice of you to say that my posts are better than yours. Thanks!

Looking at the last page of your posts I would say there is nothing wrong with them. But depending on which campaign you apply for then which sections you post in could be relevant. If the advertiser is a Bitcoin product then posts in Altcoins boards are no use to them. Just apply to campaigns that are relevant to what interests you and you post about.


This could well be a problem. If it was a long time ago and you are sure that you have mended your ways then approach Lauda and ask him to review your inclusion in the blacklist.

I would also suggest reading the Campaign Ettiquette (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1692740.0) thread as it could help gain a greater understanding of what campaign managers are looking at.

Sometimes you can be rejected simply because so many people applied and the manager just chose the ones they felt were the top applicants.

First, I took a look at your post quality. To be honest, I wouldn't deny you, as your post quality is pretty good if you'd compare it to the regular Bitcointalk user.
But... You're limiting yourself to the altcoin discussion... Just like trading: DIVERSIFY!

Try diversification... Compare your posts to mine. What do you see? You post only in the alt-coin section.
Your post history is filled with "Altcoin". Although I can often be found in the Altcoin section as well, I check all sections of the forum for interesting new posts I can reply on.

That's our difference and probably the reason why you're constantly denied and I'm being let into any campaign I apply to.
Though I'm not sure why they're denying you for that, as there are so much worse posters on Bitcointalk... But I can't think of any other possible reason.

Update1: You're on SMAS. Obviously, that's the reason you're denied from every campaign.

It's not only Lauda, yahoo62278 has him blaclisted too.

That was me :o
Obviously I don't remember all details of all accounts, but let me check again and tell you why.
It has been mentioned already in this thread, but indeed, the reason is posting only on Altcoin boards. I see you've recently switched to Gambling, Services and Economics (after creating this topic), but in my opinion you shouldn't adjust your posts for a signature campaign. It should be the other way around.
My own signature doesn't pay for posts on Altcoin boards, I'm totally fine with that, but that doesn't mean I can't post there.

For BitLogic's Signature Campaign, posts on altcoin boards were not excluded (although I was considering to change that), but I wasn't looking for participants who only post there.
If I look at the second page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=559842;sa=showPosts;start=20) of your post history, I see:
6x Speculation (Altcoins)
1x Announcements (Altcoins)
8x Altcoin Discussion
3x Speculation
1x Bitcoin Discussion
1x Trading Discussion

But also, you start many posts like this:
I think ...
I agree ...
I thought ...
I suppose ...
Yeah ...
Sure!

Have you read hilariousandco's https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0)? Especially this part:
Almost all your posts have the same pattern of 3 to 5 lines text. That can't be a coincidence, and seems to me you're "trying to be constructive" by typing posts long that are enough.

Most of the people who applied to BitLogic's campaign ended up on my blacklist, you didn't. But you weren't what I was looking for in this campaign.

From reading your post, your writing quality is quite good. There may not be a reason to keep being denied participation. Even if it were being in SMAS list, there still are campaign managers who would assess each application based on their merits. So keep trying. These things can be likened to a job hunt (isn't it one?).

This is something you should probably be asking the campaigns themselves. Ask them politely for feedback on why you were turned down and maybe they will tell you how to improve your chances. You could have been denied for a whole multitude of reasons though. It's hard to even get accepted on a lot of decent campaigns these days and slots fill up very fast. Other users may have much better posts than you or just got in before you. I'm glad more managers are starting to only accept high quality posters though. If every campaign did this then the forum wouldn't be such the shitshow that it is currently.
