Signature campaign has changed

[goaldigger]

In this times like this its not "refer me a good campaign" but its more on "am i qualified for the campaign?".

Most of the campaign requirements now is not the same as before. In order to be included on a campaign, you should consider the following.

1. Your rank. Most of the time, campaign managers requires junior member and above so if you are a newbie, you will get a hard time joining.

2. Negative trusts. We all know this part so i skip the explaination

3. Merit count. I have noticed that campaigns now requires a particular merit count per rank. Some also promote merit by rewarding them per merit count they gain within the payment period.

4. Post status. Its where they look for the threads you've posted and if its pure bitcoin discussion then you probably dont have a good status and a 50/50 chance to be included.

Goodluck joining

Some good advice for shitposters. But I think you have posted it in the wrong section. If I was you then I would move it to the B&H section. :-)

[seoincorporation]

You are right goaldigger, campaigns have a new kind of filters to avoid the shitposter and spammers, that's why they add the merit filter, because merits go for the good quality posters and those who only spam will never get them.

But the payment has changed too, the bounty that campaigns offers are bigger now than the past years, maybe they are less btc but in dollars is more money

God help me to believe that all those changes are for the forum and its benefits
maybe these rules are for the goal of eliminating newbies from the way and as you said the reward will become bigger

[monalia]

I really feel worried about you and see your post that you are not getting good signature campaign to make some money. I wish you to get into good campaigns and this thread is not relevant to this board.
hope you can know this to appropriate board soon.

What was the aim of creating this thread? Getting merits? (sorry but don't take it wrongly). Because I don't see anything new there. Also those criteriums were used in past too. Rank was and will always matter, every time there was different amount paid for different ranks, also negative trust was always problem for entering in sig campaigns. Spam posts were always ignored too.
So what's new? Only merit, nothing more at all.

[DoublerHunter]

Because if you are not earning even single merit from the merit system implemented it means you belong in shitposter/spammer sigs. A signature campaign that pays bitcoins weekly must consider that all participants are good posters and with usually 150 characters long in comment/reply. And yes, there was a change not only about merit system but also the weekly salary rate compared way back in the year 2017.

Eliminating the newbies? I'm pretty sure Theymos prefers to have new users registering in his forum. It's just that the new registered users were increasing(both from legitimate users and from account farmers), while the post quality was dropping due to the obvious spamming from people that are ranking up their accounts.

Gambling signature campaign implement all these rules, but if you looked on the ICO bounty campaign majority of them do not implement merit to participate, even a newbie can participate in a campaign if they upgrade to copper member.

Correct and its just right for signature campaigns that do payup btc to have that set of rules which is more stricter than bounty campaigns yet we know that we do earn Bitcoin instead on no value shitcoins in the market.When merit system being applied its normal for managers to add it up with their criteria on searching participants or shall we say that's been already part of their standards but well it does depend on the manager itself.

It's the right of every service holding a signature campaign to get the best of the best to promote their brand and in turn, pay the users for posting here. I don't see the problem in campaigns raising the bar before someone can join their campaign as it helps weed out shitposters and at the same time, help increase the general quality of the content/posts here in this forum. If you are the campaign manager/service owner and you see someone posting "very good post I like that" in a post bearing your service's signature, would you be cool to pay that person knowing that no substance came from whatever post they made but rather just to increase post count for the pay? Certainly not.

Thank goodness its getting harder to get into a signature campaign. Anyone, and I mean anyone was able to get into a signature campaign a few years ago, and with the introduction of the merit system we are now seeing a more functional forum with actual quality posts rather than the garbage which was spewed out, because users were getting paid for it. I honestly thought monetary gain would be the ultimate motivator to making good posts, but as with everything users got complacent, and now we have a system which prevents that from happening. I also believe signature campaigns should have a rule that every participant should earn a certain amount of merit each period. If they don't they get removed, and someone else gets put in their place. This would mean you'll only be hiring those that are actively earning merit rather than have done in the past which means it would prevent them from getting complacent.

If I was in charge of a signature campaign I would probably only want the elite advertising the service, and even if I had spaces left I wouldn't hire someone just for the sake of it. I would probably recommend actually approaching noteworthy users, and not just relying on applications too.

[legendster]

This is true.

Signature campaigns have changed a lot.

Before the application process was first come first serve, even that's gone. That used to give many people an edge even if they were not "good quality" posters.

The whole heckling about quality and merit came up because of the health of the forum itself. A high-quality post with a signature has just as much chance of being clicked on by a paying lead as a "bad quality post". If anything, a sig spammer used to get more clicks back then.

I can tell this because I assisted in managing a few campaigns myself as a rookie (before I started managing myself) and I had access to click stats.

[timerland]

This is pretty accurate, and I prefer the forum like this way. During the past year, there was way too many people joining and opening new signature campaigns, and the forum userbase wasn't big enough, and therefore allowed a lot of shitposters/copy-pasters to join signature campaigns and earn crazy amounts of money for doing little to nothing.

Some good advice for shitposters. But I think you have posted it in the wrong section. If I was you then I would move it to the B&H section. :-)

I think this is a service discussion post, because we are talking about a popular service (signature campaigns). A beginners version of this would be if this was a guide on how to get into signature campaigns.

Yeah, I'd agree. Money should have increased post quality, but we had too many signature campaigns so the standards just dropped for a lot of them.

[pooya87]

i don't see any change! it has always been like this. there are top/good campaigns usually paying higher too, which have stricter rules and want higher quality posters and there are newer campaigns which usually pay less and don't know or don't care about the quality and are easier to join. everything else is just based on manager's opinion and how they copy each other. for instance length of post is something that became popular recently. otherwise if you ask me it should never matter how long your post is. a 1 word post can be more constructive than an essay. same with merit, rank, or even trust. the post quality should be the only thing that matters.

This first come first serve was a crazy one. The moment the BM posted the topic we would see users were reserving posts and filling up the pages quickly. It was frustrating for participants of yahoo's campaign (this is what I experienced, not sure about you all), you wake up in the morning and see all the spots are taken before you to apply :-P

Since the merit system introduced we are seeing managers are now focusing to find quality posters and this indeed is helping the forum environment.

Sorry I missed that. You are right.

1 . about forum ranks :  there are still campaign that accept full members and below  . most of them are from bounties altcoin 

2. About trust status : of course no one will accept you uf you have a red trust because this brings bad image on the company that your promoting

3:  merits:  not all campaign require merrit but if there are , they only require small merrit from you , which can also be achievable

4: post status: of course no one will accept you if your only posting on one board because this is about exposure and you are promoting the project  .

Overall  i didnt see anything wrong or have change except from the minor merrit requirements.

Merit count can be deceiving, some of my favorite posters receive very little merit.  It really depends on what section you hang out in.

It looks like there are a lot of desperate people attempting to get in these campaigns because there is always a lot of applicants compared to the number of available spots.

I believe there have been changes over the previous years related to signature campaigns, but this isn't really due to the veteran managers or their fault. They have always been very immaculate at selecting suitable candidates, but since around a year back, there's been a lot of new signature campaigns, we've seen standards drop due to the increase of supply.

Merit was a very good change to the forum and allowed people to set merit requirements for posters, which meant people were able to be judged by the community on how well they post.

Depends. I still think good posters will get merit, no matter what section.

Great goaldigger thanks for your opinion. You have listed a full and detailed way about what you need to sign in signature. But I think it not enough, so I will continue with my opinion.

1. Experience : You need some experience on trading and holding crypto to join in bounty. It will help you to find out which coin is good for doing their bounty, so we can earn more profit and stay away from the scam coins.

2. English : You need to be good in English so you can write down your opinion in forum without any spelling errors so that it will protect your account from banning.

3. Knowledge : You need to have knowledge You need to have a solid knowledge base so you can give your opinions to others to bring together a better community and help you earn more from your signature bounty.

Thanks guys for reading!! Goodluck to all!
