Do you like to see an Avatar Campaign? [POLL]

[hilariousandco]

I've seen many Internet forums during my time online and I don't think I've ever seen one where users are financially rewarded for changing their avatars to advertisements. For a newbie who is new to the forums, it would probably look quite strange.

Well this forum certainly is unique in being able to earn money from it with signatures etc. To newbies it will just look like any other forum until they realize you can monetize your personal spaces. When I first came here I had no idea all the people who had PrimeDice signatures we're getting paid for them until I stumbled upon their thread in Services. Found it hard to believe you could get paid so much for such a little thing as a signature but here we are.

Avatar itself nothing bad at all, even very good if we use it in a positive way for the purpose of an impression to others, to the customers. I have also seen a number of avatars to make others feel uncomfortable , annoyed. Anyway, according to my thoughts, a avatar Campaign is OK but do not too abuse it

[Havelivi]

i voted yes for that Avatar campaign and hope that will be best campaign like the previous one. i am waiting for that upcoming campaign to join that.

[Bitcoiner7788]

I would vote no. Because I am just a newbie (now) and I can't upload an avatar. Also many people having the same avatar is a really bad thing.

[NOT-newbie]

I would vote for 'Yes/No' if it exists. Avatar is something personal and should be unique among users. So a paid campaign should buy less than 50% of someone's avatar. That's enough.

I just voted Yes. However the current existing avatar campaign's paying isn't high. I am looking for some higher payouts.

I would vote no. Because I am just a newbie (now) and I can't upload an avatar. Also many people having the same avatar is a really bad thing.

It will not be a problem because everyone will be allowed to keep his own avatar and add to the left/right side the logo of the service, or at least this is the best thing to do in my honest opinion. However you should only to be active and wait to be a full member and after you will be able to put an avatar. If you don't want to wait, buy a full member account from some buyers sellers in the "Digital goods" section.

Also the signature is something personal but someone has invented the sig. campaign and this is the first forum I have seen that allow you to sell the signature place.

Nope. The current campaign requires the whole space. See the identical avatars posted there.
BTW, how can someone BUY an account from a BUYER??
What I am looking is not only a higher payout, but also a more personal  advertising avatar.

Sorry, fixed. I meant the dadice and bit-x signature campaign, them could allow you (probable) to keep your avatar and add the site logo to the left or right side.

About that campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1021711.0) it is really insane sell own avatar for 0.016 btc/month.

Insane in term of too cheap or too expensive? for me the rate is pretty cheap for a month, although the avatar does not contain a clickable link, it is worth for few people to milk every penny for their posts

It is too cheap in my honest opinion, an avatar can 'bring' more visit ((also if it is  clickable) respect than a signature, because an avatar appears more than a sig ad (by the way this is only my personal opinion, and a good rate could be 0.10 btc per month).

[umairsaleem]

I'm not really want to see that, Signature campaign already takes most people's signature and that makes the forum kind of monotonous, people's signature are becoming the same, if everyone are wearing the same avatar and sig, then it could be annoying.

You can always disable them view with the internal forum function or using ad block (or similar extension).

I do think the rate is decent, since the picture isnt clickable, but an avatar + signature could be a better campaign since an avatar will actually show a part of the sites, and the link in the signatures is clickable and it is weird to see someone using A sites signature campaign, B sites Personal message campaign and C sites avatar campaign

agreed with you avatar + signature campaign would be more attractive than use 2 different campaign, i think avatar is campaign will be nice option to get more views to any link.

The strange part would be the sheer number of identical avatars. Imagine you stumbled upon another forum's thread and a quarter of the people posting in that thread have the same cat avatar, another quarter with the same dog avatar, another quarter with the same horse avatar, etc. It would look pretty weird to someone who isn't aware of avatar campaigns as they might wonder why everyone is using the same avatars. Some forums have default avatars which are shared across multiple users but these are typically designed to look as generic as possible.

I think that rate is not decent, up to 0.016 btc/ month to rent your avatar space? As I said previously, an avatar is more noticeable than a signature, I think 0.10 btc/per month is a good and right rate.

0.1BTC is a lot solely for an avatar, even more if it's only part of an avatar.

I agree with redsn0w.
Marco, keep in mind that a logo is the first thing that you see when you're reading someone's comment. It's not a signature, it's an image with a service or company logo...

In my opinion it's the most "distinctive" thing that we have in our profile. 

[unsoindovo]

I have voted yes.

Why would you need one? You can see other's that have them. Would you find them annoying if multiple people have the same avatar (if you can envisage)?

Multiple having same avatars is annoying to me. If enrollee's can put like Marco does, it will be okay.

However, you might have to hire a part time designer for editing enrollee's image.

I think (for example) marcotheminer or other sig campaign maintainers will allow to keep our personal avatar but we should add a bit-x "logo" to the right side of it, and this way for me it's ok. I don't think it is annoying (more than the signature) and if someone don't want to see them, he can always use an extension (like ad block) for block specific avatars.

just look at the marcotheminer avatar...
he his asking to append the same stipe with bit-x logo
