That was just an example. It could be 0.12 for 80 posts or whatever, but whatever it was I'm sure it'll be the highest paying and better than any of the other currently open deals. I don't have a problem with Members or Full Members as long as they don't shitpost, but the majority of the spam will come from Members. Seniors tend not to get carried away as they've invested a decent amount of time (or sometimes money) in their account so it's counterproductive to lose it by spamming.

Fixed rates have their place and do minimise spam, but I agree from an advertising standpoint it also minimises exposure whilst paying essentially double. Their fixed rate doesn't have to be the same model as the others though. They could request 100 posts for 0.1 or whatever. If it's a pay per post I'm sure it'll likely be limited to Seniors and above and some fairly strict quality controls should hopefully be put in place.

Yeah, suppose it all depends on the rates and whether it's a fixed campaign or not. If it's not fixed and has high payouts like it originally did I suspect Senior accounts and above will rise in value almost instantly.

Have you had a noticeable increase in PMs for accounts? I wonder if Stunna announcing the return of the PD campaign very soon will have any effect on the interest in them  .

American Mary was pretty good. I think they could've made a great series out of that film. There was so much they could've explored and crammed into such a short time. I also think Bloody Mary would've been a better title  .



Where have you been all year? Was wondering where you disappeared to.

If it is why would he try sell a cracked one as opposed to a brand new one? People are obviously going to want to see a picture of it regardless but even more so to see the extent of the damage.

Haha. That'd probably get described on eBay as New (other). Description: "Only used once".


You bought a brand new phone on November the 14th and have broken it already?

Thanks.

Welcome back. Where have you been? Been busy pimping out sexcoin?  I have a new friend for you. She's very lonely being the only female on this site whilst you were gone: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=784915.0

I'm guessing most staff and even escrows wouldn't be comfortable providing ID, nor do staff moderate on scams anyway. Staff shouldn't be blindly trusted either and I'm surprised you're suggesting this. Staff is just a rank and doesn't necessarily make them anymore trusted than someone else. Providing ID or other documentation isn't a guarantee of anything either as 1) they can easily be faked 2) they would give people a false sense of security - people who's identity has been previously known or have even provided legitimate ID have scammed before and scammers will then take advantage of this system.  


It's not about having done 'hundreds of posts' but you take many factors into consideration including how active you are and your previous trade history and that's why these details are all valuable informations to help you make your mind up about a user. Someone who has been here for years is very unlikely to rip you off for 0.001. A newb who's been here less than a day is though and getting rid of these things would make John K look the same as randomscammer69 to a newcomer.

I'm sure it won't be anywhere near that long. Re-opening and re-rolling a signature campaign out is a little less complicated and stressful than an entire site. You don't have to check for bugs and make sure every aspect of it is working properly as it is pretty straight forward. Once it's up and running hopefully me looking after it (if that indeed does happen - nothing confirmed yet) will take some stress off Stunna so he can concentrate on the site or other business matters etc).


Wishful thinking haha. Not everyone who bids on ad slots will also do a signature campaign (that's even if he pays for them if he wins). I agree that a signature campaign would likely be better in exposure and more cost effective than forum ads though (maybe someone should tell him that  ).

I think merely treating it as a scam/suspect is an understatement. I think you're safe in guaranteeing it's a scam based on C alone   (though all three reasons combined should seal the deal). If anyone gets these types of emails they should just load up a bookmark and check their balance on the blockchain instead rather than clicking on links. The beauty of the blockchain is you don't even need to log in to see your balance as it's all there for anyone to see.

How would newcomers tell how trustworthy an escrow was? How long someone has been around is very relevant especially when you factor all the other different parameters you propose to get rid of. Age or number of posts etc doesn't equal trust by itself but when you factor in other things like the trust system it gives you a pretty good idea of who you can and cannot trust. If everyone was on a level playing field from newcomers to long-time trusted Legendary members it would be a nightmare.

Nope. "Very soon" according to Stunna's quote above but if that's PD3 time we're talking it could be years  . Hold tight and it'll be here soon enough. I'm sure the value of your accounts are going to rise along with the interest in them also very soon  .

I think that was stated because, for example, if the admins state making shitposts exclusively in off-topic is likely to get you banned people will then try avoid making shitposts in offtopic and do them in the alt coin sub or whatever etc. The rules aren't there to try purposely catch people out but to limit people bending the rules or attempting to bypass them and limit people from attempting to protest their innocence by trying to bring up technicalities because of "the rules".

I have no details on the pay scheme or what type of campaign it'll be yet as I haven't really discussed it in depth but I've offered my opinions. All I know is they're interested in me running it and I'll let everyone know as soon as I know and is appropriate to do so.

I think he might've got banned. Think that account either belongs or did belong to quite a prolific account farmer.



The way you phrased that is a bit confusing, but you only need to make one post per fortnightly period to get the full potential 14 points which you can then collect all the rest at a later date. If you try spam your way to quickly get the points and rank up you're likely to be banned though. It'll take a year and a half to get to a Hero account so just be active, contribute constructively and do the time and you'll get there eventually, but there is no quick way to achieve this.

Or you could just toughen up your skin and ego and not leave negative feedback just because someone dared to say something you didn't like? Should trust abusers not be removed? It's a trust network and people are added and removed as appropriate. There's also nothing to stop you from getting put back on the trust list eventually (or even subsequently removed from it again), but going on about this over and over isn't going to do you any favours and if anything it will have more of a negative effect on your 'reputation' than merely being removed from defaulttrust ever would. None of your feedback that you have built up has been effected anyway, just your ability to leave it and that was your own doing.

If the person was pretty active you'd be spammed with updates so I can't see how this would work very well unless their posts were very infrequent. Probably would be easier to just check their posts every now and again.


Haha. Are you British by any chance? My Dad used to say that word all the time but I've never really heard many other people say it and I had always assumed it was some British regional slang but it seems to be taken from a middle English word via http://www.thefreedictionary.com/moocher. Cadge was another that people used and the site mentions as a synonym  .

Maybe because it's unofficial?


I think Badbear said something similar to the bolded part before. Personally, if the list is here and available I think it should be stickied as I think it would be more helpful for users and staff than actually abused, though obviously some will try get around the rules, but the mods and admins still have the right to interpret the rules as they see fit.
