It's like adsense, no matter what, you will ALWAYS have cheaters because the motivation and the ease is so lop sided.
Yeah, I can't change anything until term ends (Jan 17th). But I'd definitely consider paying based off activity. People who cheat will move on to other campaigns though which won't really solve the issue. Until then as I mentioned, please PM me if you see anyone abusing this/spamming. |

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

The reason I liked the current system was because it gave newer users a chance to get some starting bitcoins, but clearly it is being abused and shouldn't remain. Please accept my apologies for your negative experience as a result of this.
Kudos. Your intention behind the current system worked perfectly on me. I was lurking the forums, saw the offer, and decided to register and get involved with this BTC community because of it. Your offer was the deciding factor. I totally understand that spammers are abusing the system, and it's too bad they have to ruin it for the newbies (like myself) who are just starting to get involved. Your link doesnt even work Then you delete your post lol |

"Stunna" has no time to go through each post.
He is incentivizing each post by paying for it. OF COURSE every single person will pad their post count.
Then you have signatures like mine which pay per month, not per post.
Wrong premises. Now being payed on per post basis (unlike previous tier based system which was like a sport to me), I write as many posts that I would do even without participating in the campaign. I keep my threads going (which I started) and primarily answer the questions either pertaining to the topic raised or when asked directly about something... I wouldn't even bother to answer your post but for blatant wrongness of your assumptions and sweeping accusations thereof |

I'll look into offering a fixed amount perhaps going off activity for next term. Until then, if anyone is blatantly spamming with a PD signature send me a PM and I'll make sure to message them and revoke their payment. The reason I liked the current system was because it gave newer users a chance to get some starting bitcoins, but clearly it is being abused and shouldn't remain. Please accept my apologies for your negative experience as a result of this. Noted this on my thread here. I was thinking along the same lines with the current system as new users adopt bitcoin the forum is a good place to learn about it while acting as incentive to participate so hopefully a realignment will help promote new users to bitcoin, without irritating oldies  . Maybe even get a few new knowledgeable people and interesting topics in Development and Technical Discussion that don't lurk on github as users he-he. And congrats to bitpop people do read posts in meta now and then, swear this area is ghostly |

I've been looking high and low for systems paying for the posts (or activity) accumulated in total. You should set a minimum activity limit as well to combat alts signing up. |

Not quite it just promotes the bitcointalk accounts for sale issue and have a bunch of stalking accounts that in theory grow slowly to pass these limits over time, but it does help reduce alts being used as any accounts found using them can be banned from using the program and reduces the spam. So works for different reasons |

The way I see the sig is a gentle encouragement for me to post. It's been a really good motivator for me to actually participate in a forum instead of simply lurking. So, I spread the gospel of SPEND YOUR BITCOINS, welcome newbies, answer questions, and start the occasional thread. Most of the active posters I see with the PD sigs seem to be doing the same.

I agree. It only seems to be a few bad apples that spoil it. If people are found to be spamming or posting crap, just warn them and tell Stunna. |

I have tried to warn stunna here because i think that he's a decent guy that just wants to promote his business without causing to much trouble in the forum. Unfortunately he didn't listen and now the only ones that keep carrying his signature are spammers with 2-digits activity and 4-digits post count  |
