Do you post more when you are wearing a signature or?

[Rengga Jati]

Do you know you are going to be spending more time on the forum so you look for a signature?

If you mean wearing a signature because of promoting a project, surely someone will be more active because he has a responsibility to fulfill the demand of the project. However, it doesn't mean someone will make posts massively because I think the number of common posts needed in a week is only around 10 - 25 posts. It is still normal in my view. If you are an active poster, you must make about 5 posts a day, so it means about 35 posts every single week. So, it is actually no need more time, just post as usual. It is more than enough, right?

If paid sigs went away it would not change my posting habits, but as I said, I'm here might as well make a buck.

Definitely. Paid signature is only one of the ways to earn money. There are still many ways to earn money, buddy. By the way, remember that the paid signature is like an extra income only. So, if it doesn't exist anymore, we still can go with our daily activities (trading and investing).

To be honest, from the past I feel like I didn't want to post more like I do when I am wearing a signature. But just recently I enjoy even getting some 3 or more posts on the forum as I enjoy being with the discussion even I don't wear a paid signature and I did it as well so that if there are openings they can see that I did well on posting. I didn't mean just to monetize the forum but if there can be reward to harvest while staying in then I'll take that opportunity, there's no harm in there as long as you doing fine and just don't do shitpost or harming other users.

Well, the reality is most of the people especially those who wears signature well likely to post more and in just rare cases that few people will post even if they haven't had any paid signature on their profile.

Having the signature doesn't really affect my posting habits... what really affects my posting habits is my work roster!

Some weeks, I'll make like 10 posts because I'm busy working and/or too tired to look at the forum. Other weeks, I'm on standby or rostered days off and I hang out on the forum more... hell some weeks I'll end up way over the "max" number of paid posts. It's not like I say to myself "I must make X number of posts per week" to maximise revenue. I just participate as/when I feel I can... some weeks that is a lot and some weeks not so much.

Using paid signatures will encourage us to make post quality, I am not talking about other people and I am expressing my experience.
I dont know if you enjoyed it too, but at least now you seem to always improve the quality of your posts because otherwise you will be excluded from the campaign (maybe) and secondly you will also not get a chance to rise to a higher rank.

As you said, using signatures is not the only way to get money but there are still many ways to get more money in different ways.

To say about that, it has at least 4 main componential factors (with the assumption that you have same amount of time on the forum):

• The level of user maturation: I don't know what happens with the others but for me, in the past, in some periods I got affected by campaigns I participated in. When I participated in campaigns, I posted more, and my posting rates increased dramatically when I joined pay-per-post campaigns. However, as I said, it happened with me for a long time in the past. There are exceptions but the odds is low, for the most users I think they experienced nearly the same I had.
• The number of questions of the others you see: If I see more questions, that I can answer and help, I will post more than usual. You can not self-create questions, then self-answer them. It breaks the forum's rules.
• Own situations of each user at specific period (week, for example): If in one week, I created 2 or 5 new threads, that are helpful and attractive, I am sure that my posts will do increase because I have to response to questions or recommendations of the others.
• The forum's conditions have effects too: During some crazy periods, the forum becomes very active. Such as when merit system born, default trust changed, flags born, art contest, Christmas and New year events, etc. I am sure total posts in the forum (weekly, ie.) will do rise significantly.

Above all, the level of user maturation is the dominant factor. When one becomes more matured, his posting behaviour will be less affected by campaigns.

Let's take my case, my campaign asks only 25 posts per week but I usually make 50 to 60 posts per week and I still feel happy with that. There is no pressure on my head when I compose my posts.

[mu_enrico]

Obviously, sometimes I like to post more and sometimes less, and signature campaign is like a gentle touch to say "C'mon man!"

However, even if I'm not in a campaign, I still post to increase my activity to become...

I do it 2 or 4 posts per day, I do it when using sig or not using it.

However, when I installed it or not, I also never posted it at all that day.

Sometimes these people have a boredom in carrying out their activities both in the forum and outside the forum, not hypocritical that sig boosted all post activity in this Forum, no exception, that's for sure.

You are right. In my signature campaign, we are demanded to make quality posts. You know, 4 best posters will get extra payment every week. From this case, the signature campaign leads people to be good posters (quality). But surely it is not always applied to all signature campaigns.

Well, to improve rank, is also another good impact from making quality posts. And to make quality posts, the point is improving your knowledge and experience in the forum. It is the common formula, isn't it? 

[The Cryptovator]

Its been long time somehow I am related with some campaign, usually I do not count my post for weekly requirements. But I have been making posts somewhere near 40 even though my weekly requirements is just 25 post. But what I remember, I made more post when I were not on any signature campaign last year(if I am not wrong). Also sometimes its depend on free time. I believe everyone here have some personal business or job, so always can't spend same time here.

But as a campaign manager I have some more experience. Some people just meet with weekly requirements exactly, and some people made very less post after end of campaign. I think it's normal behaviour, but some users I noticed that they even being inactive after end of campaign. But I won't consider it's a normal behaviour. They just seek for campaign and start posting again when they accepted. Usually I tried to avoid accept such as participants from my campaign. I believe this forum is for discussions, just not for signature campaign.

Damned! Sorry if I upset someone.Maybe I'm wrong, but you're too rigid to communicate on this forum
Whenever I see any of your posts, they are always analytical posts about the elements. I agree with the analysis, but it is only relevant to the job. Every time I see you, analyze, analyze, analyze, ... LOL although this is just a simple topic, a conversation, you bring damn analysis. Just answer yes or no to this topic.

Of course, we tend to post more when participating in a certain campaign, undeniable, unless we are more busy.

Bustadice pay is good, no doubt but the requirements, so restrictive :l

Btw, you're Indo?

[Daniel91]

Not really.
Only 15 posts are paid in my campaign and I usually write about 30 posts per week.
I simple like to be here and to participate in some interesting discussions.
If someone will pay me for something I will do any way even better 😀
In fact,  there are certain conditions to join my campaign like number of received merits,  forum reputation,  quality of posts etc.
So,  campaign manager chose the best candidates and we just  continue with our normal activities in the forum, like before campaign started.

[SFR10]

In regards to the subject field of this thread, in most cases "YES".
- I always had an on & off relationship with wearing ^{[prior to my previous campaign participation that ended 3 weeks ago, I wasn't a campaign participant for almost a year]} someone else's signatures ^{[with the exception of promoting my own services]} but if time wasn't an issue, I usually make on average around 1-5 daily posts ^{[with/without paid sigs]}.

What I can't see is what is the cause and what is the effect.

Cause = Potential earning/income.
Effect = More spam/money ^{[both for the owner and participants]}.
^{- Having said that, I'm not saying every single campaign participant is just another spammer.}

Heh, I can really relate to that today.
I was expecting to be sitting on my ass surfing the web with not much to do.
I made 1 post about 3 hours ago when I started work. Made a cup of coffee and now it's 3 hours later, my coffee is cold and I have not done anything online anywhere because the phone did not stop ringing.

I go a thread  and 90% of the posts on the thread have  a signature  and the thread is
wait for it
Re: Please don't reply to topics that are made for advertising purposes.  
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215072.0
you can't get more ironic then this thread.
Yes 24 posts
2 do not advertise
2 are for the posters own business
20 are for paid signatures

I don't understand why you took that thread as an example of something bad? This is a legitimate thread in which the OP wants to warn others to not endorse people who are actually spamming (double spamming with links for which they are paid for + signature spamming). I don't see anything ironic in that thread, and you got a pretty good explanation of what this is really about, but again you repeat the same thing again...

Advertising in signature/avatar/personal text is allowed, it is not allowed in post area.
 

Is this correct or do I misunderstand you?

You got me wrong. I was talking about the way the advertising is done. We have many members in the forum advertising in their signature space without breaking any rule. Just visit the post history of the user I referred in the OP.
Rule number 24:

24. Advertisements (including signatures within the post area) in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful.[9][e]

As you know, wearing a signature to advertise a service is allowed.

Ads are typically not allowed in posts (outside of the signature area) because they are annoying and off-topic. It is especially disallowed to put ads or signatures at the bottom of all of your posts. Except for traditional valedictions, which are tolerated but discouraged, signatures are for the signature area only.

[ChemicalSpillage]

I don't. In fact as of late I've seldom posted due to the fact that there are barely any interesting discussions that I've seen.

(in regards to the actmyname account)

[gentlemand]

I don't. In fact as of late I've seldom posted due to the fact that there are barely any interesting discussions that I've seen.

Then start some.

It would be disingenuous of me to say I don't post more or more consistently due to having a sig thing. It doesn't change my behaviour. It might magnify it.

There's stuff I couldn't do or pretend to be interested in for the sake of a signature campaign. That's why I could never see myself doing a gambling one unless they didn't give a shit about their bitch never posting a single thing about gambling.

If the alt section was paid I might venture in the more general threads but that's in doubt as more than a few minutes in there and I get a nosebleed due to the usual quality of discourse.

[stadus]

There is a requirement in a signature campaign, like in my case that's 25 posts a week minimum, so base on my experience I post more because I am more motivated due to the reward I am getting, and I think most of us in the forum do, based on what I noticed.

I saw accounts that was removed in chipmixer campaign that are not as active as they use to.

[Kasabus]

This forum has inspired me because I learned and earned at the same time, so definitely I would still continue to contribute even without signature in my profile, but to the question that if I would post more, I honestly, Think I could not because, maybe my posting having will be down to 50% and I won't be so active as I am now.
