I am probably not the only one who saw the influx of new casino operators on to the forum with signature campaigns, just for them to leave after only a few months.

The solution to that problem, in my opinion, is a complete guide for all the marketing specialists who join the forum and want to advertise on it, so I've created a guide for them to make it easier to organise signature campaigns and set expectations for them. You can find it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5525102.0

Why I think it should be pinned:
#1. I am from that industry, I'm an active forum member, and I was a signature advertiser, meaning that I'm familiar with all three aspects of the deal.
#2. The guide is complete, and involves everything an operator would need to set up a deck for their stakeholders, from the recommended spend up to the vendors.
#3. The guide can improve the stability of the forum in terms of signature campaigns, with more stable clients, we can ease off the stress that many users have since they are switching campaigns often.

Advertisers should be educated properly, and this guide offers that, kindly vote for the pin with your comment.

And, obviously, if you think something is missing for it to get your vote, do tell me, and I'll try my best to incorporate it.

I support your request.
I believe this thread was created after a made a comment in your post as to why the thread was not pinned. When I stumbled on the thread, I had a good read. All the information seems to come from experience but I am not sure if you are a campaign manager and how you gathered such experience.

How about you create a poll? Hence voting would be made simple (afterall that's the essence of poll) instead of people repeating same thing / flooring the thread with irrelevant comments.

Furthermore, the amount of votes would determine the thread being pinned by mods, so comments or posts would only be ideas or highlights from the thread.

Just my one cent opinion.

Good job @OP

I glanced through the thread and it's definitely a nice one and has good explanations based on statistics too. I think pinning it is a good option. But another thing is how many of the coming casinos will take those things into consideration. Pinning it would definitely make it more visible but still not all will take it that seriously.

Sometimes I think this would be a very difficult problem to tackle . That's because managers too know how much potential some signature campaigns have and that's how seriously they pick participants. You find out that campaign managing too is a service and if one manager rejects some other will definitely accept the offer.

Would you consider making it general for all signaturess and not just casinos? I think the admin may be more willing to pin a thread to serve as a guide for all projects entering the forum and not only casinos.

Or will you be willing to have this pinned in the services section?

Nothing against the guide being pinned to the respective section.
I believe that many campaign managers are even grateful for the guide.

I think we could try to attract other types of advertisers, not just casinos and the like.
The forum has the potential to have other types of ads. We deserved it.

+1 for getting the thread pinned.


Remove signature campaigns and 90% (and I am being optimistic here ) of the forum traffic is gone, and since vast majority of them are the gambling ones, you can imagine what would have happened. So yeah, I think its in the forum's best interest to have more (gambling) campaigns.

Proposal supported.
I am not that much active in Gambling section but I know OP invested a lot of time creating that post, and he knows what he is talking about.
I also think that pinned topic can be very useful for every new crypto related business in bitcointalk forum, not just for casinos.

I absolutely support this proposal.

It is evident that a lot of effort has been put into the guide, and I believe it will be helpful to casino owners who want to advertise on the forum.

It's true, without signature campaigns forum would lose huge part of traffic. Maybe not 90% instantly, bu teventually probably yes. But as I already said, we can't deny possibility that gambling signature camapgins may be banned one day because of regulations.
In general, I support OP proposal, but I'm getting impression that theymos aren't very interested in commercial part of forum and I'm not sure that he is going to put some effort to attract more signature campaigns to Bitcointalk.
