Since this campaign is about altcoin, I wonder why you dont want the post in the altcoin section to be counted since most of the enthusiasm of altcoin is there so I think you can get a better shot if you advertise there
I'm fairly certain it would be moved, as all campaigns are considered services. Altcoin ANN/discussion/mining boards are strictly for threads concerning the development/discussion/mining of altcoins.
I don't think he was talking about this thread. Rather, he was asking why posts made in the alternate cryptocurrencies section by those who are enrolled in the campaign aren't counted when determining payments.
Or more specifically, this part:
Posts in these sections will not count:- Off-topic
- Altcoin announcements/Altcoin discussion
- Meta
- Any local board
And he has a point. It's unusual to see a signature campaign for an altcoin not count posts made in the altcoin section since most of those who post in the non-altcoin sections aren't usually all that interested in altcoins. Therefore, a signature campaign that advertises an altcoin might be more successful if it counted posts made in that section of the forums.
(Then again, if everyone who posts in the altcoin section already knows about your coin then it might then be a smart idea to refocus your strategy and see if you can get Bitcoiners interested in your coin. Besides that, many posts in the altcoin section are often quite spammy too so there's that problem as well.)
And whether or not a thread deserves to be in the altcoin section probably depends on how the payments are distributed. In this case, it's in BTC so it deserves to be in this section. A signature campaign that pays out in NXT or <insert altcoin here> would probably suit the altcoin section better.
