Title: [BIT-X] Signature Campaign - Discussion
Post by: marcotheminer on March 20, 2015, 08:37:57 PM
This thread will be used to discuss campaign changes arriving in the near future.

What changes would you like to see?

Would definitely like to see some raise in the rates.

Also maybe payout daily? But please leave the payout frequency to at least once a week.

Unfortunately I'm still a member, so maybe add a position for members? Also maybe not pay directly to someone's bit-x address because if bit-x shuts down the participants will not be able to withdraw their money.

Thanks for creating this thread, Marco!

I don't really see any big issues at the moment. 
I would say that capping the number of qualifying posts per week and re-raising the payout per post might give more bang for your buck, you could waive the post limit for the 1-2 posters who post far more than 100 times a week but keep the quality up, you know who they are already.

The bot seems to be working well. Maybe it would be good for bit-x if they offered a bonus percentage when the signature campaign balance is used to trade on their site, that would encourage people to actually use them as well as advertise for them.

I won't mind if you lower the rates if you can do automatic withdrawals. That would be pretty cool considering I can withdraw any time I want. You should include a high fee for doing this because it's tedious work to do.

Well since posters also go through manual checking, I don't think this would be easy. Doing this once a month definitely sounds easier for the person that manages the campaign. Withdrawing at any time could be exploitable if it didn't involve any manual checking. If it did however, it would be very tiresome as you pointed out.

The only thing I do not like and would love if it could be considered would be allowing posts in altcoins to count. I feel there is some great discussion which occurs there. If you are worried about abuse maybe cap it at 10 posts in that section a week.

Litecoin is also an altcoin, I think that it would be wise for macro to enable the board in it's entirety since altcoins are part of BIT-X's business.

And also monthly Payment. I dont like weakly payment these are tiresome. + Start a bonus system

Thanks Marco for this awesome campaign

I am considering making it monthly again for a few reasons:
- BIT-X gets a full month of advertising instead of a week (if a user changes their signature after only a week, all posts in that week become useless to BIT-X, a month gives more time for those posts to be seen)
- Bonuses will come back into play
- All members will be entitled to a special gift ;)
- No limits and higher rates since I can manage enrolees much better.

So make the monthly payout first, I believe that will make the campaign more stable and cut down the spam. Some are speeding up posting to earn quick money due to a week-payout. :)

Now I have started to like the monthly payment. Its better to get monthly bitcoins rather than getting dust each week.
I support the monthly payment now. Looking forward for Marco to implement these changes soon.

I support the weekly payment, if it will be a monthly payment the payRates should be more high than now (I know there are a lot of users change signature campaign every week, for these users you can pay the -30%  and if they will stay for two week you can give them back +30%).

I'm not sure if making it unlimited is a good idea. I also think you should check a users post history after they sign up and before you accept them into the campaign and deny anyone with short or spammy posts. This should hopefully cut down about half of the spam but you should also try keep an eye on the rest by checking periodically. You should also encourage users to report posters to you directly like stinglewood does.

I think this is really a nice Idea, Create a thread in "Games and rounds" that Those Who will report a Spamy post of those member who are wearning Bit-x Sig will receive BTC for doing that.

Nah, this way every signature wearer will be reported. Simple logic: report everyone and maybe you'll get paid for 1 or 2 of them.

...You should also encourage users to report posters to you directly like stinglewood does.

Isn't it better for everyone to report spammers directly to mods (using 'report to moderator' button)? Seems more effective and simple.

If you're a spammer and you're banned from campaign, you could just enroll to other one. But if you're banned from forum for 2 weeks, then you not only don't get paid for current period, but you're also losing potential earnings for the next 2 weeks.

I dont mind weekly or monthly payments because I stick with campaign signatures for the longest. I would love the bonuses though but maybe give bonuses for hitting milestones such as 100 posts etc.


Title: Re: [BIT-X] Signature Campaign - Discussion
Post by: damiano on March 21, 2015, 06:02:44 PM
I would prefer weekly, but I can understand the move to a monthly payment.  Most people don't hop sig campaigns and it's rare we do find one as well run as this one.  The rates are the best out of all the campaign's and I do like the bot your using.  Personally it's more of a pain to leave and hop into something else.

I rather you lower the rates than make the payouts monthly. I personally think monthly payouts take too long and I have to wait 30 days for it. The only reason I'm on bit-x campaign is because of the weekly campaign, and the automated bot which can instantly check your stats. You should do a poll to see which one people like better.

It will be really 'annoying' and not useful to all the enrolled users (due the high fees). If marco wants, he can send a daily payment at 23.59 of each day with a single transaction (multiple outputs).

He said the payrates will increase by the end of this month.

I just bought 8 jars of peanut butter on 1/2 price sale! so it's now ok to change it to monthly payments.

I'd also prefer monthly payouts with more confident payments. Not exploitable, less tiring for the campaign manager and better advertising afterall.


Title: Re: [BIT-X] Signature Campaign - Discussion
Post by: pawel7777 on March 21, 2015, 09:13:00 PM
Honestly, I can't understand why would any participant prefer monthly payments.

It's always better to have access to your funds sooner than later. If you don't like weekly payments then... just don't withdraw weekly, let the funds cumulate on your bit-x account for a month (or longer).

I do understand marco's and bit-x point of view:

Quote
- BIT-X gets a full month of advertising instead of a week (if a user changes their signature after only a week, all posts in that week become useless to BIT-X, a month gives more time for those posts to be seen)

Fair enough. If it comes with increased payments, I can live with that.

Generally I think campaign is working pretty fine. I would reconsider reopening some of the boards. For example, I'd allow local boards, but with set limit of posts in such boards (say no more than 10-20/month).

Rather than disqualifying all altcoin boards, I'd allow "Marketplace (Altcoins)" and possibly "Altcoin Discussion" as these could be valuable for bit-x (who also accept 1 altcoin - Litecoin). Or maybe just disallow "Announcements (Altcoins)" as it's most spammy. Or, as above, just set a limit of posts in those boards per month?

I am involved in 2 altcoins and my posts in their announcement sections are probably the least spammy of my posts.  I understand the dilemma but I'm just giving my perspective.

I like the idea of the monthly payments - I do not post that much so it is better for me personally. I would like to see the paid per post maybe dropped in favor of 50 posts per month for whatever rate. I think you need to keep an eye on the spammers that have joined. I have seen a lot of bans recently and many seem to be from Bit-X signature campaign. The campaign over all is the best I have ever joined with the bot and all so not much to change.

another thing, is...i would like to see some other boards "activated", too much restriction right now, board like altcoin discussion is good, and there are plenty of newbies there asking question about mining, even if it isn't bitcoin related

Check your bit-x account/bitcointalk PMs and you will see how much has been deposited into your account each week.  Divide that by your rate per post and you will see how many of your posts were counted from the last week.
If you really want to see how many posts were excluded, then you would have to count how many posts you made in the timeframe in your profile, then subtract the number you worked out before, that would be your excluded post count!

I would rather just trust the system and receive what I receive, the above seems like quite a lot of work for no return!

Please try include Local Section and Altcoin board. I dont know why did you  excluded the altcoin section as Bit-x is also dealing with altcoins?

Disqualified posts:
- Any signature campaign thread.
- Local (for the time being)
- Off-topic and altcoin boards.
- Games & rounds and the investor-based games boards

Other wise every thing is going fine.

The exchange deals with one altcoin (I could allow that thread only).

If I allow local posts, the Indonesian board will be excluded probably.

Everything s fine besides the fact altcoins are excluded. I understand the exchange deal with only one altcoin but 100% people who are in altocoins are also in BTC.
I have not found a single person who holds alts and not BTC at the same time. So it is targeted audience.

Confused here. You mean payments straight in USD, or 'USD pegged' meaning the rate is expressed in USD/post but paid in BTC at the current rate on the pay-day? In other words, protection from rate fluctuation (amount of BTC/post is not fixed, but its value in USD terms is).

Anyhow, I (strongly) prefer bitcoin. You could do it as an optional alternative, everyone would have to declare whether they want USD or BTC. But I reckon it would be too much hustle.

Also, I'm guessing, that if the payments are in USD, you'd need fully verified bit-x account?

No. not at all. BTC is perfect, however you should consider adding an option for payment type, a few people want euro, so you should maybe add a payment method feature

I dont think monthly payments is a good idea. People do need to have some kind of incentive to continue promoting the service and waiting for a month to get paid can be very long time.

Would people be interested in USD pegged payments?

i prefer euro to be honest, but it would be a nice addition anyway

usd/euro/gbp, i don't really care about other fiat

You'd want to be paid in Euro or have BTC payments based on Euro/post?

where can we cashout then euros?to what cards(skrill...)
and how much would it be per post?

When someone says USD pegged they usually mean the payments will be priced in dollars, paid in btc, e.g. 23 cents a post, paid in bitcoin using exchange rate at the time of payment.

No, if I can say my opinion I don't want the rate usd/euro * post. I prefer the normal rate btc*post and maybe if marcotheminer can raise (a little bit) the various rates (for all the forum ranks) due the various "fluctuation of the price". For example :

Staff                                                0.0014  0.00145 BTC
Legendary & Hero Members         0.0013  0.00135 BTC
Senior Members      0.0011  0.00115 BTC
Full Members      0.0008  0.00085 BTC


Thanks for the attention.

Not really. I personally like doing the maths in BTC and having the BTC amount fixed rather than the USD value (whoever wants to trade/profit can do that at their leisure). About the monthly payments I'm fine either way, leaning a little towards weekly payments as it is now - but fine either way. Finally, my only real desired change to see on the Bit-X campaign is Local board (specifically for me the Spanish one). Keep up the great work!

Means the bitcoins I have earned will be converted to USD and stores in my Bit-x wallet? I would prefer this method as the BTC rate is fluctuating a lot and if I get a fixed price in USD, it would be great.

I think it's better to stay on the weekly payout, USD pegged might be good, but not a must. and I want to get paid to my real address, if possible.

I also prefer that the local post to be counted, but I just happened to be Indonesian  :(
are we that bad? :'(


Title: Re: [BIT-X] Signature Campaign - Discussion
Post by: funtotry on March 28, 2015, 01:35:37 PM
USD pegged might be good but then the budget would have to be in USD and you can't change the amount of btc that is in the wallet every times the exchange rate changes. Its a good idea for it to usd fixed but then you might make or lose money based on the price starting at the price ending, wouldn't it be bad if the price skyrocketed right before you get paid so you get very small amount of btc?
I think sticking to BTC rates is much better than pegging it to fiat.

Please, no USD pegging. That wouldn't be helping the BTC economy... :) Also, it could go both ways, the price could have a major drop and we would recieve a lot of coins, and the price could rise and we'd have nothing. Not a good solution for anyone :)

Exactly there would be too much profit swinging between the exchange and us. I want to worry about the price not the exchange, going up and down will affect the payout and make profitability different. Also isn't this the btc forum? We should be focusing on the btc currency, and not peg it to fiat because fiat is what we are up against.

I am considering making it monthly again for a few reasons:
- BIT-X gets a full month of advertising instead of a week (if a user changes their signature after only a week, all posts in that week become useless to BIT-X, a month gives more time for those posts to be seen)
- Bonuses will come back into play
- All members will be entitled to a special gift ;)
- No limits and higher rates since I can manage enrolees much better.

1) There is nothing wrong with monthly payments. It's much better for BIT-X, and doesn't harm the people who signed up. Actually some people do not like the weekly payouts because some get "dust".
2) Excellent.
3) Even Better.
4) Absolutely no. Even now the spam is quite bad. I could easily see people trying to achieve 1500 posts or more in a month. There are some who are now posting a crazy amount of "unclear" rubbish posts, but I'm not gonna point fingers.

Also I'd prefer the rates to stay in Bitcoin.

It will impact the amount of btc one receives in an unknown way.  It's all about the btc.

I would prefer not to have monthly payments. I run a faucet, so I need some BTC every week to fund my faucet.

I understand that all posts in that week become useless to BIT-X, if a user changes their signature, but not many people change their signature after only one week, as BIT-X is one of the best signature campaigns, and I don't see what gain there is to constantly jump between signature campaigns.

@marcotheminer,

I don't think marco will make payment directly to our bitcoin address, as sending it to the BIT-X account lets users try out BIT-X. I would not have discovered BIT-X if they had paid the bitcoin directly to my wallet.

Nope. "2. Add your BIT-X address (with a 3) in the 'Other Contact Info' field here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=forumProfile"

No, I can't. In these months I have always received the payment into my bit-x address (only one time I've received it on my personal bitcoin address, in the beginning of the signature campaign). Now the worst thing is the fee, but it will not be a problem if marcotheminer can ask them if can reduce it.


PS: Can you ask them? Thanks (or at least add the % of fee on our payment).

I can see how the withdrawal fee could be a problem for high volume traders, but in terms of sig campaign it's not really that scary.

For 300 posts/month (most people are below that) fee is little above 1 post-worth.

I disagree. Local boards are MUCH harder to moderate since they are in different languages. Since marco only knows english (I think), the chinese posters could just be writing random things and marco would think its just actual discussion. If there are moderators for different languages then I think it could work, but since the moderators for the campaign are only english it won't work.

Is everything ok regarding the campaign and your trust Marco?  I have had no problems and everything seems to be running well, but having a big negative trust doesn't look good for BitX or the campaign, will it make a difference?

I think that rates should be increased for next week unless we see a major price improvement in btc. Btc fell over 10% this week and payouts have stayed the same. unless bit-x has actually chosen to not care about the fiat price as would be respected.

BIT-X deals in terms of BTC for the signature campaign.

I think that is a good thing, but I hope they stick to it if the price goes up..
Is everything ok regarding the campaign and your trust Marco?  I have had no problems and everything seems to be running well, but having a big negative trust doesn't look good for BitX or the campaign, will it make a difference?

Maybe he can choose a new "manager" and ask the bit-x team if they agree or not, but also for me it is not a real problem (at the end he can talk with who left him a negative trusts and maybe they can change it to a neutral one, but it is their choice).

His trust is not the problem in running sig campaign, he's been managing it for a while now and he earned participants' trust, don't think anyone really bothers whether he's green or red.

The problem is Marco is very active in the official Bit-x thread and pretty much acts as customer support there. It will be much harder to attract new customers with negative trust score. So yes, he should probably talk to Mitchełł and try to sort it out.

I think that marco is perfectly fnie, I don't care about the red trust, he is trusted by bit-x and therefore I trust him as well. Marco has done many good things with the community and other than trafficking in stolen accounts (which I don't care about) he is trusted by many others.

I think you are wrong, if you will go here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=Your_forum_ID;sa=theme  you will find Don't show users' avatars.

No.

Unless you get to choose whether you want to participate in signature or avatar campaign. One member with both will just look ridiculous. That's simply too much.

Some threads are already overwhelmed with paid ads, let's keep healthy ads/content proportions.

Edit:

Yup, both can be disabled. And more people will be using those option if we overdose with ads.

Looks like I am. Sorry about that, I did not realize that it could be done. I'm however sure that more users have disabled signatures than avatars (if any).
So the combination of signature + avatar could still be used.

I think if avatars are to be sold, they should just be displayed like Marco's avatar, with his actual avatar on one side and the BIT-X logo/name on the other.

That way, avatars can still be unique, and people can earn bitcoin without the forum getting spammed with the same avatar.

Not a bad idea or compromise but I think it'll be a bit of a hassle for everyone to edit them onto their own. It's also much less exposure for the campaign.

This is his post:


Quote
1) Is nudity allowed? If so, to what extreme? To a non nsfw tag?

No.

Quote
2) Is NSFL allowed? [NSFL = Not Safe For Life]

No.

Quote
3) Is other adult content allowed?

Maybe.

If I receive (or anticipate receiving) several complaints about something, it's probably too much.

Quote
4) Are paid avatar campaigns allowed?

Yes.

Quote
5) Is copyright content allowed? How should copyright holders request deletion of infringing content?

You are not allowed to infringe copyright, of course. I have no way of knowing whether you have a license to use particular images, and it's additionally sometimes difficult to determine whether fair use applies, so I will not be proactively removing possibly-infringing images. The DMCA process is used.

Quote
6) Is racial / sexist content allowed?

Probably.

Quote
7) Is there a limit on 'annoyingness'?

Animation is not allowed, so I feel like it'd be difficult to create an avatar that is sufficiently annoying that I'd want to remove it.

Quote
8 ) Are 'imitation' avatars allowed? Ie wearing avatars of specific companies to give the false impression of representation.

Copying someone's avatar in order to impersonate them or cause confusion is not allowed. But if you both use some generic picture of some famous person or something, that's probably not going to count, and using elements of someone's avatar for purposes other than impersonation will probably be allowed. Same for companies.

Quote
9) How should users report those with infringing avatars?

DMCA takedown notices or any other legal thing must be emailed to me. For other issues, post about it in Meta.

I don't know why there is a need for some timezone. I an asking for just a counter, it wont show you the tine when you will get paid but instead it will start backward countdown from 7 days to 0 seconds  and the countdown will start at the beginning of each new weekly period.

You should get paid the same time you got paid last week. If the timing is not the same (ie payments are initiated manually etc) then countdown-clock would either be inaccurate or impossible to implement.

I personally wouldn't use avatar advertising but I can see why some people could want it. If I had to vote? No :P

some people might want to join avatar advertising if they started it to earn some more coins.

An addition I would like to see is the payout date. This is likely stored in the same DB that the other info on the bitsig site is retreived from, and its one more <?php echo $row['paydate'] ?>
Its not hard to add and its VERY useful for all the people asking "when will we get paid"

I agree too, I was wonder when exactly my payment time is, just simply add this feature into that bot, I believe this is not a difficult stuff to do.

A date or a countdown would be awesome, both would be even better. I never know EXACTLY when I get paid but I know its on a tuesday a couple hours ago every week. I guess the bot can be a bit delayed so they don't want people scared when there time comes and no payment yet.
On a side note there is 0.4 left in the sig campaign wallet...

Don't worry guys, he is honest in all his work and so, no one will lose any payments for their work... :)

Why do you need to know exactly when you will be paid?  If it is always on Tuesday morning, is that not good enough?
Even if they put a counter on the bot page, it will still depend on if the wallet is funded, if they have checked through your posts, if bitcointalk is available and how long the transaction takes to confirm..

As long as I get paid fairly promptly, it's fine by me, keep up the good work marco

Maybe we could use new banners / sigs. Maybe somebody can design better / less "eye-hurting" bit-x banner.
I am paid for them and I don't complain, but others seem to start blocking signatures, and from what I see bit-x is one of the most important targets.

Sounds awesome, will the signature on your sig right now be one of them? Your signature designer is very good. Bitcointalk should add signature images in the new forum software, could make things alot easier.
Also you should add a ?ref=btc on the URL in the signatures for analytical reasons. You can see what kind of traffic you are getting from direct signature clicks.

News about the avatar campaign? Do you know the "rates" or not? I think you will pay (if the avatar campaign) the same rate for everyone because full member, sr and hero can put the same avatar so there is not any difference.

marcotheminer, I have some questions to ask regarding the campaign that you are managing.

Can I change the deposit address that has been registered by the bot, or it will stay like that until I re-enroll? I'm not sure about it and I'm planning to change the deposit address in Bit-X as well. The cellphone number that I'm using to confirm the auth code in Bit-x is being used by my girlfriend and most of the time, she isn't home. Second is that when will be the next date of the new campaign launch? Are they (the Bit-X management, also you) planning to put an avatar campaign together with the existing signature campaign? Will it be paid as two different campaigns or is is required to have the signature first before the avatar? Hope you respond to my questions! :D

You may change your deposit address, sure. The new campaign will come mid April, solely an estimation. An avatar campaign might happen, not yet sure about it.

Oh ok, doing it yourself is a lot better and more cost effective because you are the one who actually decides what goes in it. And you should really pressure bit-x to add an analytical or referral feature to links, its very easy.

Marco if you really want to spice up the campaign you should do something unique. This is just the same old boring pay per post campaign.
At least bring back some (they can even be very tiny) bonuses/awards for the best posters (in addition to writing their names somewhere). Even a 0.0001 reward would kill off some of the monotonousness.

Do a raffle or something. Put x amount of best posters in a draw for a big prize at the end of the month. Just make sure the draw is verifiablly fair. I think rewards for the best posters will definitely push up the overall quality of your campaign quite a bit.

Raffle sounds good (I suggested the idea in the past). But how would you define who's good poster and who isn't? Everyone consider themselves as 'good posters', so whoever you choose, there will be a bunch of people disappointed with excluding them.

If one member makes 9 shitty posts but 1 really good one (something innovative, sparking useful discussion etc), is he better or worse than someone with 10 posts of average quality?

Not to mention that, to make a fair judgement, Marco would have to go through every single post of every participant.

Maybe a raffle open for everyone is better idea? With some minimum posts/week requirement.

Why not some bonus for those who are loyal to your campaign and are there in it for like more than 2-3 months or so?
Always remember, if someone can leave other campaign for your bonus then he can also run away from your campaign after he gets the bonus.
Although this would certainly attract people, but the people who have been there in the campaign since quite a few time, they should also be appreciated for their loyality.

This might be good if ever it is implemented. And the users who are in this campaign that are eligible to join must be quality posters and not the ones who post the most. Giving up prizes for those users who posts well enough are good, because it will motivate others to post "quality" posts and not the yes-it's-constructive ones. It will also push the quality of the posts in this forum up, because basically users will strive to get that bonus reward that is already waiting for them.

In case you are really reading the forum rules and guidelines, there is actually no limit on how many you can post per day. As long as it is on-topic and is constructive, it will likely stay. However, most post tend to be off-topic and spammy, sometimes in the intention of boosting posts for signature campaign members. It is fine to post a hundred or even a thousand per day, as long as it is, well, constructive and helping the discussion.

the problem is that some of his post are not included in one post, there are case, were he posted 3 posts in a row, that is spam to me, it doesn't matter if those posts are constructive or on topic in this case

Yes, most of his posts are constructive, but 100 posts a day seems to much for ordinary people, you can eat 10 hamburgers in one day, but you definitely couldn't eat 100 hamburgers in one day, this is same to this forum, Also, this forum didn't have that much topics that make you able to make 100 constructive posts in one day. 100 posts in one day, that means a you need to turn the whole forum topsy-turning.

i don't think you have  read what i wrote, the problem aren't 100 or 1k posts a day, and i'm not against him or anything, the problem is consolidating your posts, you can't post 3 posts in a row, when those can be included in one, i can do the same if this is allowed(i had many chances to do it, but i included all in one post, otherwise i would be at 100 posts too)

and btw i need money too, everyone need money, some more some less, this is not an exscuse to spam

Anyway, he didn't broke the rule even he makes so much posts in a day, that's most people can't be able to do.

I don't think his nationality has something to do with his needs for money. ???

I agree that posting consecutive replies in one topic is another way to boost one's post count--especially if you are enrolled in a signature campaign. But sometimes, this is done for the convenience of other users/readers of this forum. Though you can actually cut out some important points that you want to reply to, still cutting out all those important points and replying to it in just one single comment is too hard to do--and too hard to read as well. The point and the idea in the topic might be messed up because of other topics under it is also included in one single reply.

I'll try my best to read through all these posts soon. I've decided to exclude posts from this thread I think that's fair enough?

It's rarely necessary and is often done to boost post count more than anything but at least his posts are constructive and long in length. It would be quite different if they were just short spammy replies.

Post length doesn't really make a post better though. Pretty obvious when people post multiple times in a row they are padding their post counts.

the problem is that some of his post are not included in one post, there are case, were he posted 3 posts in a row, that is spam to me, it doesn't matter if those posts are constructive or on topic in this case
if that is allowed, i can do the same thing easily
He is a Indian, he is probably need this money.

i don't think you have  read what i wrote, the problem aren't 100 or 1k posts a day, and i'm not against him or anything, the problem is consolidating your posts, you can't post 3 posts in a row, when those can be included in one, i can do the same if this is allowed(i had many chances to do it, but i included all in one post, otherwise i would be at 100 posts too)
and btw i need money too, everyone need money, some more some less, this is not an exscuse to spam
Yes you can post 10 posts in a row, unless it is forbidden by the forum rules.
The guy is spamming. It doesn't matter if he's American, Indian or Marsian; the rules are valid for everyone.

Sent you a PM.

It's horrible that such behavior is accepted. Back in the old days, you'd get kicked and banned from the signature campaign before the staff bans you.

Im not posting much lately, a lot of work, i'll try to post a bit during my small breaks. In any case, isn't it time to start considering a small raise? BTC has been crashing, yet the payments remain the same (im saying this for all campaings, not blaming this one). I know its a competitive market and all that but if the price just keeps crashing, someone has to start taking the lead in raising rates, otherwise sig campaings are going to start becoming faucets 2.0.

And everyone running a signature campaing that isn't automating their process needs to get with the time. Glad this one is one of the first after Bitmixer.

As for posts quality, sometimes small one sentence posts can be great, while other people shit literally bricks but aren't all that great. For me it's relative. Of course the people posting 100 times a day need to calm the hell down.

Unfortunately this will affect your payout if the posts being deleted are before when you enrolled. The bot sees it as a post less so it is counted like it. If it is a significant amount PM me and I'd be happy to pay the difference (I won't do
this often for others reading this)

I wanted to tell him to try doing it once the bot sends out payments. I do wonder however can the number of posts be minus?
Let's say that the bot just paid me at 9900 and then I delete 100 posts, and make 1. What happens?

After payment is initiated, bot would simultaneously take the value of 9900 as a starting post.

Then, I'm guessing, if 100 is deleted, it would show -100 and negative payment (unless it's written in the code that the values cannot be less than zero).

If i may suggest something; when you get paid for your posts, remove signature, delete posts that u want to delete , and return your signature (re-enroll)
By some logic it should work, wont give you negative post count, because bot will see you as new recruit, and wont make you a loss, because you are doing this after your posts are already paid.

Maybe marcotheminer can confirm this would work, and is an ok thing to do ?

cheers

From this moment on: Meta, auctions, politics & society do not count towards a user's post count. This will last until the start of the new campaign, when things will change. (1 or 2 weeks from now).

This big change was brought by the large increase in spam.

Beginners & help may soon be excluded too, if posters do not improve.

If you spam, or post unneeded replies, you will be kicked. End of discussion.

Please play your part in keeping this forum readable :).

I'm seeing an unusually high rate of excluded post. What's going on?
What happens when threads get moved into a section that doesn't get counted?

Update: I've found your post and I'm dissapointed. Because a group of individuals in the campaign is doing 50-100 posts daily you decide to punish everyone by excluding more sections? Hm.
If the campaign in 2 weeks doesn't bring something good I'm probably going to leave it. Things are out of control.

I think they're excluded because mine jumped by 10 in a refresh.

If so, that's not right, you cannot change the rules like that. Plus, the announcement clearly states "From this moment", so previous posts should be counted.

How about considering 1 post per thread in the Politics & Society/Meta threads in the coming campaign? I have usually seen people keep posting in 1-2 threads again and again and have over 10-15 replies in one thread.

That would probably be hard to do with the bot but people shouldn't be penalised if they get into dialogue or a meaningful conversation in a thread. As I've said before, there should be little to no restrictions of where you can post but the campaign manager should crack down on spammers instead or preferably not allow them onto the campaign in the first place.

It's not about restrictions as now as well many members do post in off topic and other Local sections even if they are excluded. Yeah, it would be hard for a bot to do it but if we set a counter that counts the number of posts by a member in a thread in those sections, all posts above "1" would be excluded which won't be hard to code. It's like an "if and else" statement.

It's just to prevent any member from spamming and they will know that if I keep posting here, I won't get paid and those who post there, will be posting inspite of not getting paid and will thus stop spamming and make constructive posts.

Your logic doesn't make sense. It won't stop spamming at all. It actually encourages it. Should we not encourage people getting into meaningful conversations but instead just pay them to make one spam comment in as many different threads as they can because that's what will happen? Clamp down on actual spammers not just people who get into a conversation or discussion in a thread.

I think every users (also if he is not paid for his posts) should 'make a post' only if he wants to add something 'useful' to the thread, or want to say his personal opinion about that fact. If someone doesn't know what he is saying why the hell he 'make that post'?

That's how it is supposed to go. That's not how it is going here. When you have people doing 40-50+ posts a day in a campaign it's spam.
Who likes to waste their whole day here? Nobody. Especially people with flawed English who are making a lot of posts, definitely spam. Instead of putting restrictions around the forum, they should be forever banned from signature campaigns.

I believe in prevention being better than cure but your logic is that you need to stop spammers rather than preventing them from spamming. So well it's like wait till they spam and then ban them but in this way, the campaign's reputation suffers saying that it has a lot of spammers.

Not exactly sure if a signature gets benefited by having the same user posting over 20-30 replies in the same thread. For you and me, the meaning of having an interesting conversation might be different.

No it isn't. If you read what I said you would see I suggested doing both. When people sign up check their posts - if they're crap they get denied straight away. Then keep an eye on them throughout the campaign and if they start spamming warn or kick them off.

Are you saying each thread just needs one signature impression then advertising objective achieved? Not at all. The ads actually work better when there's several, just don't pay people to make poor posts, pay them to make quality ones and not the opposite as you're suggesting.
