Wouldn't it be profitable for sig services to offer jobs to newbies-jr.members?

[poeEDgar]

newbies can't have links. jr members have a small character limit. and opening campaigns to brand new members does little in the way of deterring spam.

There would be spamming for one thing. You'd have people joining the forums to spam around the sig. In a way that would be good for the advertiser but still.

Even if they offered it, a small signature for Jr.Members, then it won't be as noticeable as a Member's signature, or a Hero's.

But the fact is that it is there. Being noticeable is kind ehh, I mean we all see the links is the thing.

But if it draws more attention (For instance, my red Ritz signature is just BAM, since it's a 'lighter' color compared to Up/Down, PD, and FXO) then that increases the chances of it being clicked. Would you prefer a plain colored link, that doesn't look exciting, or a few shades of blue?

There is a HUGE difference between signatures with big letters, bolded with colors ... and signatures in the smallest font with no color and limited length. Don't you think? The former tend to jump out at me a lot, the latter not so much.

You are right.But having a signature is better than not having one at all.It will help the advertiser in someway more or less and it will be cheap to them as well.

And lower ranked forum members can take part in the Bitcoin Scratchticket signature deal with referral links. You don't get much but it's better than nothing.

I wouldn't really recommend it. The 25 posts per week are hard to make without spamming. Especially if you're not interested in each and every aspect covered on these forums to make meaningful posts there.

Yes, I acknowledge there are users that easily make more than that in a week without spamming, but those mostly run a service or a project or are actively trading via the forums which in itself leads to quite the number of posts.

That is why I stopped taking part in it myself. I know a bit about mining and have a question here and there, and try to help out where it makes sense. And sometimes there's just interesting stuff in the "Politics and Society" section. But that isn't enough to make 25 non-spam posts per week.

The 50 per month are much more relaxed.


Generally I agree that it is benefiting the forum if only members + are eligible for the majority of the campaigns. What no one has mentioned before: allowing newbie and jr accounts also opens the door too wide to multiaccing. Let's not be naive: People are after a quick penny and some will take any possible route to make as much as possible as quick as possible.

25 posts a week isn't a lot at all, even for newbies, but it's not really worth it for them as you still get dust, but I suppose it's better than nothing. If you're posting crap all over users will soon find themselves on the receiving end of a ban.

Because some new campaigns can't pay competitive prices, since these have been increasing, I think they won't have an alternative than to accept low paid junior members signature.

Since junior members can insert links in their signature and already have some time on the forum, if don't see justification to left them outside.
